Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2416

"Forget it. I should start working at the company. There's nothing more reliable than wealth in this world," Caiden sighed as he returned.

He was right indeed. Other than feelings and affection, there were still many other important things that mattered in life such as career and family. Caiden was fortunate to have realized that.

Besides, it wasn't true love and affection between him and Joan. It was merely his one-sided and sickening possessiveness that was driving him to such a state.

"Alright, I understood. I'll make the necessary arrangements, and you can return to the company directly tomorrow," Jaden responded.

What arrangements are there to make? Piqued, Caiden gazed at him with a bewildered look.

"I've been working in your father's company," Jaden clarified.

It was just that he had never told Caiden about it. The two of them chatted for a little longer at the roadside before getting straight home.

At that moment, Joan was lying in the bedroom with her eyes widened, thinking about the man she loved.

When is he coming back? Does he eat well over there? What if he gets sick?

In that instance, Larry's face was all that was in her mind.

"Joan, do you want some fruits?" Delilah was shouting outside her door.

"No!" She responded immediately.

"What's happening? Why are you so moody?" Delilah opened the door and asked softly as she munched on another slice of apple.

"Nothing, it's just a sleepless night for me. I couldn't sleep," answered Joan wearily.

"What time is it? It's not even nine yet. What sleepless night are you talking about? You're missing somebody, aren't you?" Delilah asked nosily on purpose. "Ms. Young, since when did you turn so whimsical?"

"Fine, don't think too much about it, alright? He's just on a business trip. What are you doing thinking so much? You're making yourself sound like an old bat." Out of the blue, her phone on the table started ringing. Looking at the caller ID, Joan answered it immediately as she turned on the speaker mode.

Seeing as such, Delilah knew who was on the phone at once, so she left the room in silence.

"Are you at home?" Larry asked.

"I'm lying in bed. It's too cold outside; I don't feel like going out," Joan answered.

"Everything's good at home, right? How are Ms. Young and the child doing? Are they well?" Larry asked.

Why is he so concerned about the family all of a sudden?

Joan frowned slightly and a faint premonition crept within herself.

"Everything's fine and as usual. Is everything okay with you?" Joan asked in return.

Every time Larry went on a business trip, she would get agitated at the chances of accidents happening to the man on his journey.

"I'm doing okay. Wait for me to return home, alright? Try not to go out and stay at home as much as possible these days," Larry added.

"Mom!"

All of a sudden, Lucius barged into the room, giving Joan a shock.

"What is it?" Joan asked.

"I saw a man wandering around outside our house just now," the child answered.

Over the phone, Larry's guard was instantly up after he heard what the child said.

"Lucius, tell me, have you locked the door?" Larry asked aloud.

"Dad, don't worry, I've locked it," Lucius answered excitedly.

Nevertheless, Joan was still in a daze.

"Dad, when are you coming home?"

"There are still a lot of things that I'm occupied with over here. I can only return in a few more days. You have to protect Mom and Grandma, understand?" "Alright, Dad. Rest assured, I'm a brave boy..."

The two guys chatted heartily and totally ignored Joan who was at the side. At that point, she was a little jealous looking at the scene before her. "Alright, Lucius, you should go to bed now." As she said that, she reached out to grab the phone in the child's hand.

"Just a minute, Mom. I haven't finished talking to Dad yet," Lucius retorted.

What is there to talk about? What is Larry running on about with a child?
