Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2405

"Ms. Young, why are you doing this?" Joan hissed.

Gabriella was not just anyone. She was vicious, sly and did everything she could to reach her goal. Joan could not be bothered to waste her time on someone like that. Furthermore, they had nothing to do with each other anymore.

"Well, this could be the chance to patch up your relationship with her. Who knows, she might never make your life difficult again in the future after getting along with you now," Delilah reasoned. However, Joan was sure that such an outcome was too idealistic.

Gabriella was not like them. Even if someone managed to touch her heart for a split second, she would forget about it as soon as there were better offerings elsewhere.

At least Caiden had not come to look for Joan, and Jake had been lying low. Therefore, Joan felt more at ease. Yet, she did not know that complications would occur later on.

Days had passed since. "Ms. Young, I'll head to the mall now!" Joan informed the older lady.

"Sure. Please be careful on the way there," Delilah acknowledged.

Since Larry had been rather busy at Norton Corporation, and Nancy had been occupied with her babysitting duties, Joan chose to head to the mall alone.

The streets were as lively as ever and were bustling with people.

As she headed there, she saw many office workers among the crowd. It seemed like they were rushing elsewhere, but there was a hint of joy on their faces. Is that happiness from the thought of heading home? Otherwise, do they have plans to go for a sweet date after work?

How nice. It seems like nothing has changed. Soon, Joan reached the mall.

"Mrs. Norton, it's been a while. What do you need? Do you want to get a tie for Mr. Norton? We have a new design that just came in today," the staff at the shop pointed to a shelf.

Hearing the staff's suggestion, Joan slowly walked towards the shelves filled with branded goods.

Hmm, Larry does need a new tie. Holding up a blue tie, she studied it.

Nope. I think black will be more suitable for him.

"Excuse me, could you bring me a shirt?" Joan requested.

Although she was no longer married to Larry, she was already used to shopping for his clothes.

After a long time at the mall, she finally left.

It was dark outside, and she felt a light breeze against her skin, but she did not feel cold.

"Joan!" As she was about to leave for home, she heard a familiar voice calling her name. Instantly, everyone turned their attention towards her.

She saw several balloons before her and petals falling from the sky, emitting a fragrant floral scent. A toy airplane flew towards her and circled her head.

Next, Caiden emerged from the crowd and walked towards her. With a tap on his phone screen, the toy hovering in the air landed on his hand.

Then, he knelt on one knee and pulled out a ring from the toy airplane. He held it up towards the woman standing in front of him.

Joan softly gasped. What is he doing? Is he trying to propose to me? How is this acceptable?

Embarrassed, Joan fussed, "Caiden, get up quickly!"

"Joan, will you marry me?" Ignoring her complaints, he proposed.

"Caiden, you'd better get up this instant! There are so many people here. Aren't you embarrassed?" Joan grumbled as she tugged on the man's arm.

"I'll only stand up if you say 'yes' and allow me to put this ring on your finger. Otherwise, I will kneel here forever," Caiden insisted.

Is he crazy? I've already rejected him, yet he doesn't want to let me go! She felt so anxious that tears were forming in her eyes in desperation.

"Caiden, if you don't stand up, I will leave first. I don't care how long you'll have to kneel here." With that, Joan turned to leave.

"Joan! Marry me!" The man yelled relentlessly.

"Marry him! Accept him!" the passersby cheered passionately around them.

Who the hell are these people? Can't they tell how uncomfortable and embarrassed I feel?
