Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2125
“I will! Caiden said the same thing too! I’m going to grow up big and strong to protect Mom and
Grandma!” the young boy eximed, enthusiasmcing his voice.
A cold glint shed in Larry’s eyes.
Even Lucius had been bringing up Caiden more and more often.
Sensing the mood around them going from bad to worse, Delh hurriedly shushed the child. “Alright,
that’s enough, Lucius. Hurry up and finish your food. You’ve still got homework to do.”
Even though she was having dinner with her own family, Joan felt inexplicable anxiety growing inside
her.
Is he angry? Did he misunderstand my rtionship with Caiden? Is he going to leave again soon? Joan
picked at her food, lost in her thoughts.
“What’s wrong, Mom? Are you unhappy? Did somebody bully you? Don’t worry. Dad and I will protect
you!” Lucius eximed.
Larry looked up and held Joan’s gaze, but his eyes didn’t hold their usual spark.
“It’s nothing. I think Mom is just tired today. Here, Lucius, eat more of this meat. You want to grow up
big and strong, don’t you?” Joan nced at Larry and smiled, but the man just ignored her.
Delh, having witnessed everything, felt her own cheeks flush in embarrassment for Joan. She
couldn’t take it anymore and lightly kicked Larry under the table.
The man looked at Delh in confusion, wondering why she was behaving as such.
Without saying anything, she coughed and tilted her head toward Joan.
“Ms. Young, are you okay?” Larry asked out of concern.
Delh was stunned by his nonchnt response. What? What the hell is this? Was I not obvious
enough? Larry, you dummy. I wanted you to say something nice to Joan!
“Oh, I’m fine. I’m full now, so I shall go back to my room to rest,” Delh muttered as she got up to
leave the dining room.
She never used to see her dining room as small, but now, it was starting to feel like so.
“Dad, I’ve missed you so much when you weren’t home. Luckily Caiden was around. Otherwise, I
wouldn’t have anyone to take me to my school’s tree nting event,” Lucius said as he wolfed down
big mouthfuls of food.
Caiden this, Caiden that! I’ve had enough! Larry ced his cutlery down, his fists clenching tightly as
anger and jealousy shed in his eyes.
Joan grew even more flustered when Lucius uttered those words.
“I called you many times, but you didn’t pick up. Caiden happened to be around, so he took Lucius to
the tree nting event. The school only allowed fathers to go. That’s why I couldn’t go,” Joan carefully
exined as she looked at her husband.
So? Has she, Lucius, and Caiden gotten even closer? Larry scoffed at the thought.
His wife had been out shopping with another man who had bought clothes for his son. His son let
another man take him to school events in his ce. The more he thought about the entire situation, the
moreughable it was to him.
I didn’t pick up the phone? Couldn’t she have gone straight to the office? No matter how busy work is
or how bad things are, I’ve never let my child down!
Excuses! Everything is just a whole load of excuses! The longer he stayed in the room, the more he felt
his blood boil.
“I’m done eating. I’m going back to the office tonight and won’t being back.” With that, Larry stood
up and left the dining room without looking back.
With Delh and Larry gone, Joan and Lucius were the only ones left at the dining table. The young
boy remained blissfully unaware of the storm that had juste through. Joan, on the other hand, was
devastated.
“Mom, is Dad unhappy?” Lucius suddenly asked.
Yes, Lucius. Very much so.

“No. Of course he isn’t. Your father just has a lot to deal with these days. Come on, try the food I made.
Let me know if you like them.”
Lucius looked in the direction that his father had left in, his eyes filled with disappointment.
He had wanted to y games with his father, but it was toote to let him know now.
