    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1670


    At that, Dustin’s expression turned solemn as well. “Come, let’s talk in my office.”


    However, Joan couldn’t wait anymore. Following him closely, she asked in a voice colored with


    urgency, “Did Larry evere and look for you a few days ago? Did he say anything to you?”


    Hearing that, Dustin nced over his shoulder at her. “Why do you ask? And what makes you think


    that he’d definitelye and seek me out?”


    “Because the meeting at the hospital that day was definitely not thest time you two saw each other.


    Considering his temperament, he’ll certainly seek you out to get to the bottom of things.” Then, Joan


    continued, “I haven’t seen him for many days now, so I need to know where he is!”


    “I’m sorry, but I have no idea on his whereabout,” Dustin replied unhurriedly.


    All at once, Joan again reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt. “I don’t need you to tell me where


    he is. I only want to know whether he came and sought you out!”


    Stopping shortly, Dustin whirled around. His movement was so sudden that Joan almost smacked into


    him in her distracted state. Even then, she almost fell to the ground due to inertia. Unexpectedly, Dustin


    reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist.


    As the warmth of his palm seeped through her quality clothes to reach her waist, it burned like a brand

    and scorched her.


    This time, Joan reacted swiftly. She still had her wits and she knew that she should keep some


    boundaries between them. Her hands shot out without even thinking about it, and she pushed his


    shoulders to immediately put a distance of at least one meter between them.


    Dustin, however, disregarded her wishes. Instead, his arm around her waist tightened a fraction. Sure


    enough, she’s still the same as before! The moment something rted to Larry is brought up, she’ll


    behave like a porcupine with all her quills standing up straight as she’s seized by the urge tosh her


    tail at me.


    “Let go of me, Dustin!” Joan screeched. Afraid that he would do something that crossed the line even


    further when he was hugging her, she timidly reminded, “We’re in the college.”


    Nheless, Dustin was unfazed although a few people were already drawing close to them to watch


    the show. Inwardly, Joan whined, Argh! I’m dead now! With this, not only will the rumors of me and


    Dustin flying around the college cease to abate, but it’ll even escte instead! It’s precisely the slew of


    rumors about us that caused the misunderstanding between me and Larry to deepen…


    At the direction of her thoughts, she didn’t dare contemte further. She simply couldn’t shake off the


    feeling that Dustin would grow even closer to her, while her beloved Larry would swiftly leave her at a


    speed indiscernible to the naked eye.


    “What if I were to tell you that I did something to him?”


    The gentle voice was no different than before, but as it fell into Joan’s ears at that moment, a chill ran


    down her spine. Did Dustin… really do something to him? Feigning calmness, she countered, “T-That’s


    impossible. You’ll never use such a stupid method. You know full well that I’ll lose my mind if something


    really happens to him, so you won’t make waves on a tranquil sea.”


    Finally, Dustin released his hold on her. “Sure enough, it’s Joan Watts who knows me even better than


    myself in this entire world.”


    When he mentioned her name, his jet-ck eyes stared right at her. Every time he gazed into her eyes,


    he always wondered whether he could see through her and fathom her thoughts by looking into her


    eyes.


    Conversely, Joan couldn’t understand what he meant. How could a person think that somebody else


    understands him better than himself? Furthermore, I think I don’t understand him at all. I’m merely


    specting from what I know about him without having any inkling whether it’s urate or otherwise.


    “He indeed came to seek me out. I told him that we’re merely friends, and that has never changed


    since the beginning. Thereafter, he left. As for where he went, he merely said that he’s going to clear


    his head. That’s all I know.”


    Huh? Larry only told him that he’s going to clear his head? So, I merely came here for an answer that’s


    of little value in the end? Are there no other leads for me to find him?
