Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2318

What? Larry suspects me of having something going with Caiden? But I've explained it to him before... Caiden saved my life, so what's with the cold attitude now? Joan was dumbfounded.

"Are you drunk, Larry? You know what? I'm not about to get into an argument with you right now. I'm going home!"

As they were both feeling extremely terrible, she decided to walk away. There was no way for them to maintain a proper conversation.

Larry grabbed her by the wrist and shouted, "Answer me! Did Caiden do the same thing with you?"

He's definitely lost his mind! Joan turned around and shot him a stern glare as she retorted, "What the hell do you take me for, Larry?"

Of course, I take you as my beloved wife, but what did I get in return? Nothing but betrayal! Larry sneered in disdain at the thought of that.

"Isn't that what you've always been doing? First Dustin, and now Caiden? Oh, I know! It's because Caiden has a handsome face, an amazing figure, and a great personality, right? More importantly, he's made a name for himself overseas and comes from a wealthy family..."

Smack!

Joan slapped him across the face before he could even finish.

Her eyes were tearing up, but she forced herself to hold her tears.

That was the first time Joan had ever hit Larry, as well as the first time she had felt such heartache.

"How does it feel? Does it hurt?" she bellowed at him.

The man slowly looked up at her with a burning rage in his eyes.

"I bet it hurts a lot, doesn't it? Tell you what, that pain is nothing compared to the pain I feel in my heart, Larry! How dare you accuse me of cheating on you when you have no idea what happened! You have any evidence whatsoever either!" Joan shouted at him before storming out of the room, slamming the door shut in the process.

Things were still as lively as ever at the banquet, and there were smiles on the faces of both adults and children alike. The only exceptions were the two individuals in a corner with ice-cold looks on their faces. "Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Caiden shouted, but Jessica wasn't about to let him go after Joan.

Jessica was very big on loyalty and had successfully turned her love for Larry into one between siblings. As she saw him as a brother, it was only natural that she became protective of Joan.

"They're a married couple, Caiden! You have no right to stop them from having a conversation! Besides, you know Joan is married, so why are you still going after her? Have you no shame?" Jessica scolded him while clinging tightly to his arm.

My goodness, this woman is surprisingly strong! "Look, you'd better let go of me if you know what's good for you!" Caiden threatened her with a cold look in his eyes.

Heh, what a joke! Sure, threaten me with physical harm when I don't do as you say! That's all you men are capable of anyway! I've been through much worse situations during my time overseas, so it's going to take a lot more than that to scare me!

"Or what, huh? Are you going to hit me? Come on, then! Bring it! I don't mind you hitting me at all! Well, that is, if you can hit me!" she taunted him in response.

"Hi, Caiden!" Joan came over to greet him all of a sudden.

Huh? Wait, where's Larry? What's going on here? Jessica slowly loosened her grip as she squinted into the distance.

"Are you okay, Joan? Did he hurt you?" Caiden asked worriedly, eyeing her from head to toe.
