Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2320

"Get a divorce, then!"

Delilah's voice was as soft as silk when she said that, but her words hit harder than a sledgehammer. Joan looked up at her in shock and disbelief.

Ms. Young would always play the role of the mediator whenever Larry and I get into fights, so why is she...

"Why do you look so surprised? You know, I used to enjoy seeing you two being lovey-dovey and sweet. In fact, I believed you two were the best couple I've ever seen in my life, but... Things have changed now. You're not happy, and happiness is the most important thing in life. That holds true regardless of what happens in life, and how old you get. Never forget that, Joan."

She's right... Life is short, so we should live it in a way that makes us happy! After all, what point is there in living if we're unhappy?

The warm rays of the morning sun flooded in through the window and filled the room. Joan recalled the conversation from last night as she slowly opened her eyes and stretched lazily in bed. "Joan, it's time for breakfast!" Delilah's voice came from the dining room.

Huh? Was it... Was it all a dream? I can't believe I dreamt of Ms. Young telling me to get a divorce with Larry! Why would I dream of something like that? I must be going crazy! Joan gave herself a slap on the cheek to clear her head before heading out of her room.

Lucius had gone to school by then, so Delilah and Joan were the only ones in the house.

"Ms. Young, I had the craziest dream last night," Joan said while eating breakfast.

Delilah let out a chuckle. "That wasn't a dream, silly girl! I did indeed tell you to get divorced from Larry! Of course, that's just a suggestion."

"Pfft!" Joan spat out the toast in her mouth upon hearing that.

So it wasn't a dream after all! She looked up at Delilah curiously.

"Are you awake, Joan?" A man's voice came from outside the door, and the two of them frowned when they recognized who it was.

"Yes, why?" Joan asked as she went to open the door.

"Ah, I bought you breakfast! Here you go!" Caiden placed the food on the dining table, but Joan ignored it and carried on eating the breakfast Delilah made her.

"By the way, I'm sorry about what happened last night. I didn't think we'd bump into Larry there..." Caiden began as he scratched his head awkwardly.

"It's okay. I can't run from him forever anyway. You can go now. I have some more business to take care of later."

Caiden frowned when he heard the dismissal in her voice.

Did she seriously just tell me to leave like that? Isn't she at least going to pour me a glass of water or something?

"What are you going to do? I'll help you out," he suggested.

Help me? As if he hasn't 'helped' me enough as it is?

"Caiden, please... Just stay away from me, okay? I'm sick and tired of all this, so please hurry up and leave," Joan mumbled as she shoved him out the door.

Regardless of whether Larry and I end up getting divorced, I want no further business with Caiden... The Owens family is a very powerful one, and Noelle is not someone to be trifled with either. I should stay away from them if I am to live a simple and peaceful life!

"Hey, Joan! Are you still mad at me? Please don't be mad at me! I didn't mean for any of that to happen!"

Caiden kept knocking on the door, but Joan ignored him and carried on eating her breakfast in silence.

Delilah let out a helpless sigh at what she saw and left without saying a word.

"Hey, are you okay?" Jessica asked Larry in his office.
