Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2400

Caiden Owens, how do you keep getting women to fall for you! What are they thinking when they fall in love with someone like you? Joan exited Slone Enterprise as fast as possible. "How was it. Did you reach the recipient?" Delilah asked.

"Don't worry. Mission accomplished," Joan answered with a victory pose.

"Did you get to meet Miss Slone? Why did she ask for you to deliver the bonsai personally?" Delilah suddenly recalled.

"I did meet her. She was another one of Caiden's admirers," Joan replied nonchalantly.

Delilah immediately understood the implications.

It looks like things are going to get rough!

"It's alright. You only need to stop contacting Caiden. If that doesn't work out, you should remarry Larry as soon as possible. Your other option would be to hide somewhere for a while," Delilah proposed.

Why do I need to hide, though? I didn't do anything wrong! Joan pursed her lips as she disagreed with Delilah's opinion.

"I heard Gabriella went to Lucius' school," Delilah shifted to another topic.

Her statement made Joan sat up straight, looking towards her with a serious expression. There was fear in Joan's eyes.

"What was she doing there?" Joan asked.

"Don't worry. She had amnesia and lost most of her memories. She didn't recognize Lucius. She was only there to do some charity," Delilah assured.

Joan had heard about Gabriella's amnesia from Larry in the past. But she did not know if things were still the same after so long.

"Relax. The child is fine, and everything is moving along swimmingly." Delilah patted Joan's shoulder and comforted her.

That being said, Joan was still worried that Gabriella would one day remember everything and made things difficult for Lucius.

"Mom!"

Lucius appeared all of a sudden.

"Oh? Why are you back so early today?" Joan caressed Lucius' hair.

"There are no classes this afternoon. Everyone attended a seminar," Lucius answered happily.

"Is that so? What did the teacher say at the seminar then?"

Lucius went on to explain the content of the seminar about road safety. "Oh! And I saw the lady from a long time ago," he added.

Is he talking about Gabriella? Joan pulled him tightly into her arms, and shivered a little.

"What did the lady do?"

"Nothing much. She was talking with the principal most of the time. She seemed to have enjoyed it. I don't think she remembers me." So it's true... Joan was relieved after hearing what Lucius said, and the tension in her eased.

"Okay then. Now go wash your hands," Joan reminded.

"See? I told you everything's going to be fine!" Delilah boasted.

Joan quietly nodded.

Sometimes, Joan would get extremely worried. She was afraid that people would get hurt because of her, especially Delilah and Lucius. "Mom! Your phone's ringing!" Lucius shouted.

"I'm coming!"

"Where are you now?" It was Larry. "Are you at home?"

"Yeah, I'm home. What's up?" Joan responded in a soft voice.

"Would you like to go catch a movie tonight?" Larry continued.

What's this? Is this a date? That's so unnecessary! We're adults now and we have a long way to go.

"No, thanks. I want to spend some time with Lucius." Joan answered.

Larry was astonished to hear that, even though he had mentally prepared himself for it.

"What's wrong?" Delilah came in.

"It's nothing. Larry just wanted to go watch a movie."

Silly you. Why did you reject him? This is a wonderful opportunity!

"Just go. I'm here, so you don't have to worry about Lucius," Delilah said to her.
