Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2718

Running From Her Problems

"How has Joan been lately?" Larry asked coldly all of a sudden.

"Huh? Oh, right... Uh... She's doing fine, don't worry!" Caspian replied awkwardly as he actually had no idea how Joan was. "What about Jessica? Is she doing all right?"

"Yeah, she is... Been a bit busy these days, though..." Caspian scratched the back of his head shyly as he said that.

Busy, eh? That's better than being idle, I guess... Larry took a deep breath and booted up his computer.

"But, Larry..." Caspian said hesitantly.

"What is it?"

Larry looked up at him and waited for him to continue..

"Ms. Duff seems to have gone somewhere else."

Hmm? Larry furrowed his brows.

Where is she going this time? Well, whatever... As long as she isn't pestering me, it doesn't really matter where she's going!

"I see."

Caspian couldn't bring himself to tell him that Della was headed right for Joan's location. He didn't want to affect Larry's mood and have him abandon his work to go looking for her.

"I'll excuse myself for the time being, then..." Caspian walked out of the office after saying that.

Two weeks had soon passed, but Joan showed no signs of wanting to leave Abelyn's villa.

Abelyn grew anxious at how relaxed Joan was, but Dustin didn't seem to mind it at all.

Eventually, she couldn't stand it anymore and whispered into Dustin's ear, "Hey, Dustin... Aren't you going to talk to her about it?"

And tell her what? To go home? Or to go see Larry?

Dustin shook his head in response.

"But she can't keep running away from her problems either!"

Abelyn exclaimed in distress as she didn't want to see Joan waste her life away like that.

"Abelyn, I think it's best that we stay out of their relationship issues. Just give her time to figure things out by herself," Dustin replied calmly while flipping through his newspaper. That's it? What if she decides to just leave it like that forever?

Joan looked so happy playing with a cat on the swing that anyone who didn't know her well would've assumed she had completely forgotten about the issue with Larry and Della. "Hey, Joan!" Abelyn called out to her all of a sudden.

Joan turned around and looked at her curiously in response.

"If you like cats so much, why don't you go buy some cat food at the supermarket?"

Dustin walked up to Abelyn and asked, "Why don't you go do it yourself instead?"

"What's the matter? Are you feeling bad for her? I just wanted her to get some fresh air!" Abelyn explained calmly.

"Sure! Come on, kitty! Let's go!" Joan then picked up the cat and walked out of the villa.

Dustin quickly put down his newspaper and ran after Joan when he saw her leave.

"Hey, where are you going?" Abelyn asked in confusion.

"To buy some cat food with her!"

Abelyn didn't know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing that.

I just had Joan make a trip to the supermarket for some cat food... Why is he getting so worked up over it? Well, whatever... That's none of my business! "Joan!" Dustin shouted while running towards her.

"What's up, Dustin?" Joan had a gentle look on her face as she held the cat in her arms.

Dustin scratched the back of his head awkwardly and replied, "I'm going to the supermarket too."

Little did they know, something big was awaiting them on that trip.

"Will this do?"

Dustin handed Joan a bag of cat food in the supermarket.

"No way! Our kitty doesn't like this kind of cat food!" Joan rejected it immediately.

Jeez, why is she being so particular about it? It's just a cat for crying out loud! Dustin thought to himself as he gave her and the cat a strange look.
