Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2410

"Don't go. You're not the one who's supposed to leave," Caiden added.

"Joan, I've asked you to come today because I want to clarify something with you. I don't like Noelle. Don't try to push me to this woman. Also, Noelle, the only feeling I have for you is the feeling of an elder brother to his little sister, and there's absolutely nothing else. Please behave yourself in the future."

His tone was so serious and stern that it gave Noelle who was at the side a fright.

"Fine, I'll make myself clear as well then. Caiden, I don't care who you like. It has nothing to do with me whatsoever. Hence, don't contact me ever again in the future!"

Such ruthless remark coming from Joan alongside a strong aura of resolution hurt the feelings of the man in bed deeply. Nevertheless, Noelle who was standing on the side was truly excited with her declaration.

Great. That's exactly the effect that I wish to see! With a gloating look on her face, Noelle had her eyes fixated on Joan who was standing across from her.

"Joan, do you really want to let go?" Caiden asked all of a sudden.

The question itself was illogical. I've never even held onto anything. What is there to let go of?

"Caiden, if you agree, we can still be friends. But if you don't, it's fine. I'll choose to leave this city," Joan answered in a simple yet direct manner.

She couldn't bear with it anymore. All she wanted was to lead a peaceful life.

No way! I can never let Joan disappear from my sight!

"Is it true that you don't like me at all?" Caiden who was still lying in bed asked pitifully as he looked at Joan eagerly.

Isn't that obvious? If she has any feelings for him, why would she have treated him in such an indifferent way? Noelle snorted, and she was utterly out of sorts.

"There is only one man whom I love, and he is Larry. It has always been him all along and he will be the only man I'll ever love!" With that, she left the ward straight away.

The tension in the ward was so thick you could cut it with a knife. At that point in time, Caiden felt as though he had been swamped with bitingly cold water, and he couldn't stop quivering.

He thought he should have been used to Joan's rejection by then and that he would be able to maintain his emotional stability. Nevertheless, his heart still ached terribly when he was turned down once again, much to his surprise.

"Caiden, Joan doesn't love you at all. Why are you so stubborn?" Noelle splurted out on purpose.

She knew Caiden was a very faithful man, but she also thought that he was in love with the wrong person.

"It's none of your business," Caiden answered atrociously. He was still as vile as ever. Without saying anything else, Noelle ran out of the ward.

At that time, Delilah was still engrossed in tending the plants in the garden. Therefore, Joan went straight there as she was afraid that Delilah wouldn't be able to do everything on her own.

"Joan, what's the matter with you today?" Delilah asked softly from the side.

Oh, no. I must look miserable now, but I shouldn't let Delilah worry about me.

"Nothing, I'm fine," answered Joan.

Fine? That's nonsense. The heavy-hearted way she looks never lies.

"Now now, anything that upsets you, you can just spout it out. Don't let it eat you up," Delilah urged softly.

Joan didn't say anything but remained silent. They spent a long time in the garden. Little by little, night fell. When the two women were done tidying up and were ready to get home, a few strangers barged into the garden out of nowhere.

"You're Joan?" A sturdy man asked aloud in an overbearing manner.

"Yes, I am. How can I help you?" Joan asked.

"Well, your appearance is not bad indeed. Our chairman wants to see you," the man replied in an ill-mannered way.

Who the heck is their chairman? Joan tilted her head thoughtfully and plunged into deep contemplation.

As far as I remember, I don't seem to know any chairman from other corporations.

"I'm sorry. I don't know any chairman. You must have mistaken," Joan replied.

"Just come with us. What a load of bullsh*t!"

With such a rude and crude attitude, one could almost be certain that the 'chairman' behind them was certainly not some kind soul.
