Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2392

"Then, how are you feeling right now?" Delilah asked.

What does that mean? Everything's perfectly fine! Without saying a word, Joan turned around and went into the house after picking up a pot beside her.

"Joan!" An irritating voice came calling out to her at the door.

As soon as she turned around, Delilah just looked at her, astonished. "Are you two still in contact?"

No way! He's the one that keeps pestering me.

"Ms. Young, Joan, I'm here to help." Caiden hurried over and carried a flower pot towards the house.

"Caiden. Be honest. Why are you here?" Joan was straight to the point.

"Nothing much. I just thought I'd drop by for a visit."

"I remember telling you not to visit me ever again," Joan continued, making Caiden feel out of sorts.

He was not expecting such a cold reaction from her after not seeing each other for so long.

"Caiden," Delilah intervened. "What Joan is trying to say is-as a man, you should be putting more attention into your business."

She knew that Caiden was a nice guy. He merely fell in love with the wrong woman. She understood that Joan was only treating him so harshly because she wanted him to give up on her completely. "I know, and I've been working hard," Caiden answered.

Truth be told, he had been working extremely hard. He had sacrificed his free time on doing research, persevering through all obstacles, and even gave up his traveling plans. All that happened because he was motivated by the woman standing in front of him.

Caiden wanted to prove to her that he could stand his ground when he was being compared with Larry. In fact, he wanted to show her that he was better than Larry.

"I heard that Dustin has left the country," he suddenly brought it up.

His statement caught both ladies in front of him off guard as they just ended the topic a moment ago.

"That's right," Joan responded. Her answer excited Caiden immensely as he could finally confirm that one of his love rivals had given up, leaving him with only one left.

Back then, he had to consider Joan's marital status when he pursued her. But things were different now, and he could finally compete with Larry openly.

"Joan, would you like to go out for dinner with me?" Caiden asked cautiously as he observed Joan's reaction.

"No, thanks." It was an instant rejection.

Joan was never going to give him any chances, to begin with. The only she had in mind was how to make Caiden give up his pursuit.

"Why not? It's been such a long time since we last had a meal together!"

"Caiden Owens. Stop fooling around. Nothing will ever happen between you and me. Just leave. I don't want to see someone running over here with a knife." Joan was absolutely ruthless with her words. And that someone she was referring to, was Noelle. Noelle was a woman with a serious case of dual personality disorder. She could be as gentle as a lamb for one moment and ferocious like a starved lion in the next. Joan knew all too well how crazy Noelle could get, so she figured it was best to not associate herself with Caiden, as well as the two Ford siblings.

"Don't worry, Noelle and Jaden left for their hometown. No one will be bothering us," Caiden remarked.

"Mr. Caiden!" Lucius appeared out of nowhere with his bag as he ran towards him.

"Lucius, do you miss me? Let's go out for dinner tonight, okay?" Caiden turned away from the two women and asked.

"Really? That's great! Grandma, Mom, let's go together!" the child exclaimed.

Eventually, Lucius' persistence was able to sway Delilah and Joan's decisions. They had their guards up against Caiden, but no one could resist the excitement that emanated from Lucius' eyes. "Grandma, I want pizza!" Lucius exclaimed in Caiden's arms.

Naturally, Delilah agreed since it was the child's wish.

Soon enough, they arrived at a pizza joint nearby.
