    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2117


    “Hi, Lucius! How are you? Do you miss me?” Caiden got up and lowered himself to Lucius’ eye level.


    “Caiden! I missed you so much!” The young boy was full of beans and wrapped his hands around


    Caiden’s neck.


    Delh couldn’t believe her eyes.


    Lucius has always found it hard to mingle with people he wasn’t familiar with. Why is he so natural


    around Caiden?


    “Lucius didn’t dare to go rock climbing until Caiden helped with his character building. It’s interesting


    how he’s not afraid of heights anymore after that,” Joan exined upon seeing the look of confusion on


    Delh’s face.


    “I’m home!” Larry announced his arrival in the yard.


    In the living room sat Caiden. He heard that cry, and a scheming thought came to him. How will Larry


    react when he sees me? Will he be shocked, or will he give me the cold shoulder? Maybe he’ll look at


    me in contempt? Or perhaps he’ll go panicky and react in fear?


    “Dad’s home.” Lucius pulled Caiden by the hand and walked over to Larry.


    Larry was stupefied when the other man entered his line of sight. What’s he doing here? And why does


    Lucius seem so close to him? Larry’s eyes scanned around the house, and he soon saw Joan making


    dinner, whereas Delh was trimming some branches in the yard. It was hard for him to act naturally.


    “Hi,” Larry greeted Caiden stoically.


    “Am I not wee?”


    Duh! Isn’t that obvious? Larry hurled his briefcase onto the couch in a huff, not bothering to


    immediately respond to that sarcastic question.


    “Dad, it was Caiden who went to the field trip with us when you couldn’t go,” Lucius whispered.


    Larry had already been aware of the incident, and that was the reason his guard was up.


    He had already had a feeling that the man standing in front of him had some hidden agendas ever


    since their first meeting. Little did he expect Caiden to make his move so soon.


    Larry got cozy on the couch as he forced a smile, saying in reply, “No, not at all! I’d firstly like to thank


    you for going on the field trip in my stead.”


    Pretty sure he didn’t mean that. Caiden twitched his lips, holding back a smirk.

    “I know you’re a busy man, Mr. Norton. I get it. How important could a field trip bepared to your


    Ooh, that sarcasm. He’s dering war so soon, eh? Larry took a good look at the man and smiled.


    “Oh, that’s not the case. Lucius will alwayse first and—”


    “Dinner’s ready!” Joan’s summon for dinner broke off the conversation.


    “Come on. Stop dilly-dallying.” Delh hastened them to the dining area.


    Joan had cooked up a feast as a token of appreciation to Caiden.


    “Wow. This blows me away, Joan! Everything looks absolutely scrumptious! I mean, you only made


    some simple dishes at my ce a few days ago, and I thought you only knew how to—” At his


    What’s wrong with this guy? Did he just p himself in the face?


    Joan tried to divert the topic, sensing the tension growing in the air. “Have some of this, Caiden. You


    must’ve been exhausted.”


    Delh knew very well at that moment that this unscrupulous rat wasn’t there to visit her.


    The air around the dining table wasn’t at all pleasant. The way Lucius interacted with Lucius was a red


    g for Larry.


    “Have more of these, Joan. It’s your favorite. You’ve been up and about taking care of Lucius and Ms.


    Young, and asionally an outsider like me.” Caiden gave Larry a victorious sidelong nce after


    saying so.


    Joan’s face was seething in mortification as she racked her brain for a reasonable exnation for the


    man’s behavior.


    Delh spoke up in an attempt to try to maintain the merriment, “Dig in, everyone. None of Joan’s effort


    should go to waste.”
