Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2788

The Matter Is Settled

Joan clenched her fists and tried to suppress all her dismay. Am I supposed to suppress myself forever? Joan looked at the woman before her and pleaded with her eyes.

"Madam, it was wrong of Lucius to beat anyone. Let me apologize on his behalf." With that, she bowed low to the woman.

"Mom!" Lucius shouted, "Why do you need to apologize? They did wrong first!"

At this point, Lucius was unbearably furious. Joan held his little hand and shook it, motioning to him to be silent. Immediately, the boy kept quiet.

"You! Go home and teach your son how to behave, but, then again, how could a murderess train her son to be good?" The woman murmured as she walked towards her own son.

"So, your own son has been taught to behave well?" Suddenly, from behind, came a familiar male voice. Joan turned around and heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be Caiden.

"Mr. Owens!" With a trembling voice, Lucius rushed into his arms.

Caiden gently patted the child on the back to comfort him and then he walked to Joan, looking at her affectionately with fondness in his eyes.

"Mr. Owens, why are you here?" The woman immediately came towards Caiden and greeted him warily.

"I'm here to watch a show," he replied sarcastically with a contemptuous expression on his face.

Immediately, the woman panicked. How is this darned Joan related to Caiden? The woman wrung her hands tightly and looked a little nervous. "Well, that was just a misunderstanding. Ms. Watts, I'm really sorry for what happened just now."

This apology confused Joan. Is this woman afraid of Caiden? Why is this so? Joan looked at her in bewilderment, feeling puzzled.

"Son, hurry up and apologize to Lucius."

"Mom!" The boy protested.

"Quickly!"

"Lucius, I'm sorry. I should not have scolded you or your mother." The boy bowed down and apologized softly.

Lucius did not say a word but just looked at Caiden with a sorrowful gaze. The group exchanged a few words and went their separate ways.

"So, what's going on, eh? Lucius got another award?" Caiden stroked the boy's head and asked enthusiastically.

"Mr. Owens, I really did win another award and I was also the only one in my class to do so. The homeroom teacher initially wanted Mommy to speak on the stage but later changed the decision." The boys' voice sounded disappointed and hearing that, Joan felt untold guilt.

"It's alright now, Lucius. It's already over so let's not think about it anymore."

Caiden had come here to discuss some plans with the president of the school. Coincidentally, he bumped into the mother and son so he forsook the discussion.

"Is the issue settled?" He asked Joan.

It's not easy to replace proof. Joan sighed and shook her head.

Lucius got down from the car, saw the woman in the house, and called out loudly. "Grandma!"

What's going on here? Joan's eyes shone.

"Oh, my dear child, do you miss me?" Delilah gently stroked Lucius' hair and kissed him on the forehead.

Delilah is here? Joan looked at this familiar lady, incredulously, feeling quite emotional. Am I dreaming? Joan pinched herself on the thigh.

Oh! It's painful! I'm not dreaming!

"Ms. Young." Joan ran over and held Delilah tight. All the injustice she had suffered surged over her being.

"It's okay now. Don't worry because the matter has been resolved," Delilah said while patting her back lightly.

Oh? How was the matter resolved? Who settled it? Joan brushed the tears from her cheeks and pulled Delilah to the sofa nearby. "Ms. Young, what really happened..."
