    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2121


    Larry didn’t want to waste time going to and fro his office. Staying put to settle everything at one go was


    a much more efficient method.


    But because of that, Caiden saw the opportunity to barge into Joan’s life.


    Delh’s recovery was going very well, to the point where she could now move around freely, much to


    Joan’s relief. It was Larry she was worried about now.


    Delh realized how increasingly worried Joan had be and tried tofort her. “Joan, I know


    Larry has been busy these few days. After all, Norton Corporation isn’t a smallpany. There’s


    bound to be a lot more work to do.”


    Of course, Joan knew this better than anyone else. What she couldn’t understand was what had


    brought about the drastic change in Larry’s attitude. In the past, no matter how busy he was, he would


    always call her to let her know about anything he was being troubled with.


    “Why don’t you buy some new clothes for Lucius? It’s about time he got something new to wear,”


    Delh suddenly suggested.


    Her suggestion was birthed from the concern she had for Joan. The woman didn’t want Joan getting


    sick with worry. Delh needed an excuse to get her out of the house for some much-needed fresh air.


    Besides, with Gabrie out of the country, it should be safer for the woman to be out and about.


    Joan agreed without any hesitation and soon left for the mall.


    The mall was bustling with activity, yet Joan felt so lonely amongst the crowd.


    She used to have Larry or Nancy apany her on her shopping sprees, but since they couldn’t be


    with her now, she had to do it all by her lonesome self.


    “Mommy, I want to eat that marshmallow!” a little girl eximed while tugging at the shirt of the woman


    beside her.


    “Be good, darling. You’ve already had a sweet, haven’t you? Too many sweets aren’t good for you,” the


    woman replied as she nted a kiss on the girl’s forehead.


    “Daddy, I want to eat a marshmallow!”


    “Okay, okay, I’ll get it for you,” the man said with a smile as he ruffled his daughter’s hair.


    Before the mother could protest, the father had returned with two marshmallows in hand.


    “Here. This one is for my darling daughter. And the other one’s for my darling wife.”


    The family of three was aglow with happiness as theyughed and ate the sweet treat with a huge grin


    on their faces. They weren’t dressed to the nines, but the smiles on their faces were warm and


    genuine.


    Joan observed them silently from the side, a twinge of envy creeping over her.

    Now that she thought about it, it had been quite some time since shest shopped or went out on a


    date with Larry. The only times they had together were spent at home with Lucius.


    She was still in a daze when she suddenly heard someone call out her name.


    “Caiden? What are you doing here?” she asked, clearly taken aback by his sudden appearance.


    “I’m here to shop for a tie. Are you here to buy clothes too?” Caiden asked as he looked intently at her.


    “Oh, yes. I’m here to get Lucius some new clothes.”


    Joan wondered if her loneliness had gotten the better of her. In the past, she would be reluctant to


    interact with Caiden. But today, even she was shocked at how friendly she was toward him. She knew


    she was probably looking for someone to fill the emptiness that Larry had given her. Caiden just


    happened to appear in her time of need.


    “Did Larry note with you? Don’t the two of you usually go shopping together? What a rare chance


    to see you being out alone,” Caiden probed.


    What she didn’t know was that he was well aware of Larry’s situation. He had already heard about what


    happened to Norton Corporation. Even though he didn’t know who was behind it, Caiden wanted to


    thank the mastermind for providing him with such a perfect opportunity to get closer to Joan.


    “Well, Larry has been very busy recently, so… “ Joan’s voice trailed off as she lowered her head in


    embarrassment.


    Seeing her being this helpless and lonely brought a glint to Caiden’s eye.


    “That’s alright. I’ll apany you! I don’t have anything on today anyway. Let’s go! Let’s get Lucius


    some new clothes,” he said, pulling her along with him.


    Before Joan could protest, he had already brought her into a fashion boutique.


    He began browsing the clothes in the boutique and pointed at a pair of overalls. “Look at this, Joan.


    Doesn’t it suit Lucius? I think it’s pretty good.”
