    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1977


    Since Joan knew what was on Dustin’s mind, it was all the more reason she could not let him show it in


    front of others.


    “I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry,” Dustin said as he lightly patted her on the shoulder.


    Subsequently, they headed back into the store.


    Soon, the workday had passed, and most of the supermarket employees had gone home. Only Joan


    and Dustin were left behind, still busy. As it happens, the others had purposely left both of them some


    alone time. Ever since the incident at the hospital, they had been indifferent toward Larry and were


    instead anticipating Dustin’s actions.


    “Joan, let me send you home,” he suddenly shouted.


    It was only then that Joan realized it was already time to get off work.


    However, she did not want to go home and face that man.


    “You can go off first. I’ll head home soon,” she hurriedly replied.


    At that moment, she wanted to be alone and have nothing to do and think about. She wanted to stare


    into the sky, with only the moon to apany her as she counted the stars.


    “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” he asked as he walked over to her.


    “No,” she replied coldly.


    In reality, Dustin had known all along that she was in a bad mood. She was either constantly worrying


    about something or had her thoughts upied with something else. The issue with Gabrie was


    probably a big blow to her, wasn’t it? As he watched her, Dustin felt heartbroken.


    Although the situation with Gabrie was considered a good thing for him, he did not want to see Joan


    disappointed and upset.


    Sometimes, it was magical to fall in love with someone. When theyughed, so would you. Simrly,


    when they cried, you would be sad too. Without rhyme or reason, one would be happy about their loved

    one’s happiness and worry about their sorrows. In the past, Dustin had once thought that as long as he


    loved Joan, he had to have her for himself and would not ever let her go. Only now then did he realize


    how stupid he was when he was young.


    Over time, he hade to understand that as long as he could see her smile, it was the greatest


    source of happiness and satisfaction for him. However, at that very moment, her face no longer held a


    smile.


    It’s all because of Larry!


    He clenched his fist tightly, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.


    If it weren’t for that man, Joan wouldn’t be this disheartened and wouldn’t have been so upset all day


    long.


    “Let’s go. It’s gettingte. I’ll send you home,” he said.


    “I don’t want to go home,” she suddenly replied.


    What does she want to do then? He looked at her curiously, waiting for her to continue.


    “I want to go for a drink,” she muttered.


    “Sure, I’ll bring you there.” He then pulled her away.


    She willingly followed along since she knew that regardless of whether or not she got drunk, the man in


    front of her would not take advantage of her.


    “Let’s go to a bar,” he said as he gently pushed her into the car.


    With a trace of fatigue in her eyes, Joan quickly took out her phone to make a call.


    “Hi Ms. Young, don’t wait up for me tonight. I’ll be out. Yeah, I have my keys. Right…”


    After they exchanged a few words, Joan then hung up.


    Throughout the car ride, none of them spoke. Dustin kept his focus on the road while Joan looked out


    the window, enjoying the scenery along the way.


    “Hey, are you going back today?” he suddenly asked.


    A flicker of sadness crossed her face.


    Go back and do what? Look at that man’s face? I’ve looked at him for so many years. It’s about time I


    let go. There was a cold look in Joan’s eyes.


    “I’ll see how it goes. If we have a good time, I’ll stay out overnight. If not, we’ll go home,” she replied


    bluntly.


    As Dustin sped toward the bar, several people on the roads were taken back by his speed and cursed


    at his leaving car, calling him a lunatic.


    The bar was filled with many people when they entered it. Everything looked exceptionally energetic


    and exciting, from the shing lights, colorful drinks, music… However, Dustin had found them a table


    near a corner by the wall. Since he knew that Joan had never liked crowds, he found them the most


    remote seat away from the main crowd.


    “Mister, bring me some alcohol!” Joan suddenly shouted.


    “Coming right up!”


    Soon, their table was filled with bottles and bottles of alcohol in various colors, causing Dustin to be


    dumbfounded by the variety.
