Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2562

"Joan, I love you," Dustin confessed out of the blue.

In the next second, countless red rose petals drifted from above as melodious music played. A sweet, floral scent of roses wafted in the air.

"Dustin, we have always been close friends," the woman reminded him.

Still, she was the only one he wanted to be his wife.

"Joan, be my girlfriend," he added.

"But I'm Larry's girlfriend," she answered.

Annoyance pulsed through his veins every time he heard Larry's name from her.

"We've been together for so long. I don't believe you don't have any feeling for me."

Yes, we've been together for a long while, but what's between us isn't romance, but familial love.

"I'm sorry, Dustin. Larry and I are going to get married soon." The woman stood up and was about to leave the restaurant.

She refused to give him any false hope, even if she had to lie.

"Why not me?" Dustin questioned.

Turning around, she answered, "Because there's no love between us."

"It takes time to fall in love with someone."

"Sorry, I already have Larry." Her answer left him feeling helpless.

Yeah, her heart is already occupied by another man. There's no room for other insignificant people like me. Dejected, Dustin let out a snigger. However, he was not going to give up just yet. Right then, Joan recalled Larry's words.

Perhaps Dustin has regained his memories, but he hid it from me.

She became suspicious of him because of the housemaid.

"Congratulations!" Jory shouted while walking in.

"What for?" Dustin asked without lifting his head.

"What happened? Did Joan provoke you?" he asked.

Exactly. I finally mustered up the courage to confess to her, but she rejected me with only a few words.

On the couch, Dustin mumbled while swaying the glass of red wine in his hand. "I don't want to talk about it."

Knowing that he had failed again, Jory dropped the subject.

"When are you going to tell her you've regained your memory?"

"No idea. I'll see how it goes. Maybe I'll tell her tomorrow, or I might never tell her for the rest of my life."

It all depends on my mood.

Now Larry and Joan's relationship was in a mess, and the same goes for Caspian and Jessica's as well.

When two people who were in the same boat came together, the atmosphere remained awkward and pessimistic even when they remained silent.

"What's wrong with you?" Larry asked the man in front of him.

"Nothing." Caspian shook his head, implying that he was fine.

Who is he trying to fool? Judging from his aloof expression, he was obviously feeling vexed right now.

Eventually, the man couldn't stand it anymore.

"Larry, someone is trying to pursue Jessica," he said directly.

"Oh," Larry replied impassively.

"Wait, Larry. Why aren't you surprised at all?"

"What's so surprising about that? Jessica is gorgeous and outstanding. It's only fair that she has many admirers," he answered.

"What should I do now?" Caspian asked again.

"Be as outstanding as she is." At his words, the anxiety and worry within Caspian's heart ceased.

He's right. I have to become more outstanding. Only then I'm worthy of Jessica. Immediately, he stood up and strode out of the office. Picking up a book, he started reading diligently. Staring at his solemn face, Larry chuckled.

He understood the love Caspian had for Jessica, so he wouldn't make fun of him.

That was exactly how men were when they fell for someone. They were willing to do anything for the sake of the women they loved, even if they didn't like it. That was why he could tolerate and allow Joan to take care of Dustin.
