    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2109


    “How has Joan been recently?” Caspian stiffened as he hesitated to answer. Of course, Larry noticed

    his apprehension instantly.


    “What happened? Tell me!”


    After listening to Caspian spill his heart out, Larry had a bitter taste in his mouth.


    It hasn’t been more than a few days, and she’s already starting to cling onto other men? She’s married,


    for goodness’ sake!


    What the hell does she think she’s doing?


    Bang! Larry mmed the office door closed, making a beeline for his car.


    “Where to, Mr. Norton?” The chauffeur asked.


    “The hospital!”


    The poor chauffeur nearly jumped out of his skin at the murderous aura that was emanating off of his


    voice. Without a second thought, he floored the gas pedal.


    Larry was going to wait in the hospital until Joan appeared and then ask her about what was going on.


    Anxiously rubbing his hands together, he stared at the unchanging red traffic light and wondered if God


    was ying some kind of mean trick on him. Noticing Larry’s stress, the chauffeur tried to start a


    conversation in order to distract him.


    “It’ll be alright, Mr. Norton. The light will turn green soon.”


    “Mm.”


    It was a simple sound of affirmation, but it betrayed the fact that his patience was already at its limits.


    The cars behind them were starting to honk as if it would make the traffic light change faster. Larry


    winded the car windows down for a breath of fresh air, but suddenly caught sight of something he


    probably shouldn’t have.


    In the corner of a Western restaurant sat two people, or more specifically, Caiden and Joan. They


    looked very happy together, and she even giggled when he asionally reached out to brush her hair


    away from her face.


    “You must be tired after today,” Caiden told Joan in a low voice.


    After all, she hadn’t wanted toe outdoors in the first ce, but he’d insisted on dragging her along


    with him to go shopping for clothes.


    “I’m fine,” Joan smiled kindly. “It’s the least I could do for the person whom I owe my life to.”


    Caiden froze for a second before regaining hisposure.


    Does she think of me as nothing more than a lifesaver? Is she really unaware of my feelings towards


    her?


    “Joan, I…” Caiden gulped, stopping himself.


    He wanted to confess to her. He’d thought about it for a long timeing and had merely been waiting


    for the right chance. Unfortunately, he hadn’t expected her to still view him as an outsider.


    Am I not doing enough? Caidenmented internally, feeling disappointed.


    “What’s wrong?” Joan nced at him curiously.


    “Um— I want to ask you something.”


    “Sure.” She put down her knife and fork, fixing him with a sincere stare. “I have nothing to hide.”


    “What if, and this is just ‘if’, you fall in love with another man?” Caiden asked carefully. “What would you


    do?”


    “That won’t happen,” Joan instantly replied.


    Huh? Why not?


    “If I wasn’t in love with Larry, I wouldn’t have chosen to get married to him. The very fact that I’ve


    chosen to do exactly that should be proof enough that I’ve decided to spend the rest of my life with him.


    Thus, that hypothetical situation that you brought up will never happen. If anything, I don’t have any


    respect for women who would fall in love with men other than their own lover.” Joan sipped from her


    cup of coffee.


    He hadn’t predicted that answer. Usually, women were very emotional beings; even if they were


    already married, it wasn’t rare for them to get divorced in order to chase after the man they thought was


    their one true love. Cases like Joan’s, where she vowed to be loyal to her marriage no matter what,


    were rare nowadays.


    Unbeknownst to him, Caiden’s interest in her increased even further.


    “I was just saying ‘if’…”


    Joan cut in, “There is no ‘if’s about it.”


    “Okay, then I’ll ask something else.” Caiden quickly changed the topic.


    “If one day, you discovered that your husband was having an affair, what would you do?”


    What a timely question. She’d just dealt with a simr situation recently.


    “First of all, my husband would never do that. Second of all, even if he did, it would be a trap set up by


    someone else,” she answered firmly.
