    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2066


    “Look at that. What an image of sisterhood,” Jaden proimed as he walked into the room, cing the


    bags he was carrying aside.


    “What did you buy? Are there snacks in there?” Nancy asked excitedly, her eyes dancing with


    anticipation.


    “Of course. How could I not have gotten your favourite?” Jaden replied proudly. He fished out an


    enormous bag of assorted snacks and tossed it over to Nancy.


    Even while pregnant, Nancy radiated a disarming beauty. If Nancy wasn’t so obviously taken, Jaden


    would have swooped in.


    “Jaden, what’s happening out there?” Joan asked somberly.


    “It’s a mess. Someone’s going door to door searching the rooms. This ce isn’t safe anymore. We’ll


    have to move somewhere else,” Jaden replied gravely.


    In fact, Jaden had been rather astounded by the doggedness of Nancy’s kidnapper. So many days had


    passed since Nancy had escaped, yet she was unrelenting in her pursuit. Jaden privately wondered


    just how great an offense Nancy hadmitted to warrant such a chase.


    “Hey, where’s Caiden? Where did he go?” Nancy asked out of the blue, as if suddenly recalling his


    existence only then.


    “He went out to deal with some other matters. He can’t be spending the whole day in here with you,


    can he?” Jaden remarked wryly.


    He shot a nce at Joan, who was standing a little way off. Raising his voice slightly, Jaden continued,


    “Caiden’s always busy every day. I really don’t know which woman will be able to deal with that in the


    future,” Jaden said, purposely a sigh loud enough for Joan to hear.


    Nancy hesitated, then slowly inched towards Jaden.


    “Are you saying that Caiden doesn’t have a girlfriend now? That’s impossible! He’s so handsome and is


    such a kind-hearted man. How can he not have a girlfriend?” Nancymented incredulously.


    Everything Nancy had pointed out about Caiden was true. In fact, Caiden would have had a girlfriend


    by now if he hadn’t been so hung up over Joan. The various girls who had lusted after Caiden while he


    was in college were sophisticated, pretty maidens. They stood no chance, however, against Caiden’s


    steadfast obsession of his college sweetheart.


    At least Caiden had finally met Joan now after all those years spent pining for her.


    “Joan, do you have a boyfriend?” Jaden asked casually.


    “Like me, Joan got married quite a few years ago,” Nancy quickly supplied.


    What? She’s already married? Jaden thought, aghast. Did both of us go to all that trouble for nothing?


    Disappointment shed across Jaden’s eyes. If Caiden finds out, he’ll be devastated! Jaden thought,


    distraught.

    “What are all of you talking about? It sounds exciting,” Caiden’s voice called out cheerily at that


    moment. He followed, sauntering in soon after.


    “Uh… we were… nothing much. Why did youe back so early today?” Jaden asked, quickly shifting


    the conversation away from the earlier sensitive topic.


    “I finished early so I came back naturally,” Caiden replied smoothly.


    One could almost hear a pin drop in the room, so stifling was the silence.


    “What’s wrong? Why are all of you behaving so strangely?” Caiden asked with a chuckle.


    “It’s nothing. We were just… they were just asking me about the situation outside. We are still…” Jaden


    frantically replied, tripping over his words in his eagerness to fill the room.


    “That’s right, we’ve got to move. They’re searching for you room by room. If we don’t allow them in


    here, that’ll definitely raise their suspicions,” Caiden agreed.


    It looks like Gabrie’s not going to give up anytime soon! Joan thought gloomily.


    “Joan, isn’t that person your best friend in college? She looks very familiar,” Caiden suddenly said.


    “What do you mean, best friend? She’s Joan’s nemesis! She’s totally a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” Nancy


    retorted, gnashing her teeth in anger.


    Nancy had meant to look intimidating but Jaden only found her grow even more adorable in his sight.


    His lips curved up involuntarily into a smile.


    “Caiden, thank you for taking care of us for the past few days. However, I think it would be best if we


    head home instead,” Joan suddenly said slowly, as if deep in thought.


    There was no point in staying there now that Gabrie and her men had arrived, Joan reasoned. If she


    and Nancy remained, all they would be doing was submitting themselves into Gabrie’s hands.


    Beside Joan, Nancy looked rather apprehensive. “Joan, even if you go home, Gabrie definitely won’t


    stop here,” she piped up in a small voice.


    It was true. To say that Gabrie was an extremely determined individual was to put it lightly.


    “So it’s her,” Caiden gave a low whistle.


    He recognized the name. Gabrie had been notorious in college for bullying the freshmen in their club.


    She was also extremely snooty and would only associate herself with the rich and powerful. Gabrie


    considered herself far too superior to mix with themon herd. Caiden had been on the receiving end


    of Gabrie’s nastiness back in school. If it wasn’t for Joan’s multiple interventions, he would have


    quitted the club long ago. Caiden would naturally never have had the chance to win first ce then.
