Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2118
“Lucius, here are your favorite buffalo wings. Your mom made them just for you.” Delh ced a piece
of buffalo wings on Lucius’ te.
“Thanks for the wonderful meal, Mom!” The young boy praised his mom and shed her a blinding
smile before digging in happily.
The atmospherically awkward dinner soon came to an end. However, Caiden showed no signs of
taking his leave, much to Larry’s dismay.
“Lucius, shall we y a game together?” Caiden swept his hands around Lucius and had him sit on his
“I’m down for it! But it’ste now. Don’t you have to go home?” Lucius curiously looked at Caiden.
The moon had long settled snugly in the dark sky. It was indeedte.
“I see. You don’t like me anymore. Guess I’ll just go then.” Caiden loosened his grip, acting as if he was
upset.
“No, no, no, Caiden! I like you, but I’m just worried.”
The two then started their own little game on the couch. Delh witnessed the whole exchange

between the boy and the man.
Caiden has dered war. How will Larry defend his territory?
While watching TV, Joan couldn’t stop swishing her eyes onto her watch.
“Lucius, it’s time for bed. You still have school tomorrow.” She yawned.
“Mom, let me y for a little while more, please? We aren’t sleepy at all,” Lucius pleaded, going against
her request.
What’s Caiden trying to do here? It’s alreadyte. Why is he still hanging around the house? Joan
slowly walked towards Caiden and tossed him a polite smile.
“Caiden, as you can see, it’s prettyte now. I think it’d be better if you head home now.” Her request
was nothing but impolite.
That would be her first time asking a guest to leave.
Caiden instantly stood up, his face flushed with embarrassment.
He patted Lucius on the head, saying, “Right, Lucius. I’m going home now. Time to hit the sack.”
“Got it, Caiden. Goodbye.” Lucius ran into his room after saying his goodbyes.
Meanwhile, Larry stayed cooped up in his bedroom, working. After attending to some urgent matters
earlier in the day, he had left thepany early, hoping to have dinner with his family. That was why he
was trying to finish up his work at such ate hour.
Creak… The door opened slowly.
Larry didn’t notice it and went on pitter-pattering on the keyboard.
“Are you not going to sleep yet?” Joan whispered.
There was a brief pause before the sound of the keyboard resumed.
Larry’s reply came short and crisp. “Yeah. You can go ahead. I still have work to do.”
What he really wanted to know was, what brought Caiden here, and why she’d cooked for him. But he
eventually chose to drop the burning question.
“Larry, I—”
He interjected before she could say anything further, “Let’s talk tomorrow. It’s prettyte now.”
“Okay.” Joan walked to their bed andy down.
The man affixed in front of the window was flicking through documents; the woman in bed was tossing
and turning, trying to fall asleep; and the new moon hanging in the night sky was steadily shifting its
position bit by bit.
At this moment, even the bugs had mellowed down their chirping andid themselves to rest. The air
was clouded by silence.
As the sun rose high, rays of sunshine filled the room with light and warmth. A new day had arrived.
Joan stretched out like a cat and turned over to hug the person next to her, but all she could feel were
sheets.
Larry had dozed off at his desk after he was done with work the night before. Prickly feelings consumed
her heart as she looked at his worn-out figure.
I wonder if he’s angry about what happenedst night. It must’ve drove him up the wall. She quickly
walked out to put a nket over Larry.
At the sight of Joan, Delh greeted, “Good morning, aren’t you early.”
After a short pause, the woman added, “Oh, by the way, Caiden was here the whole night.”
