Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2229
The duo engaged in a conversation in the yard for a short while before making their way back to
Caspian’s ward.
Once Caspian returned to the ward, he was irked by the lingering stench of disinfectant.
Joan broke the silence with a question, “Caspian, can I ask you something?”
He held his chest high and assured her, “What is it about, Joan? You need to stop being so distant and
just share your concerns with me. I’ll try my best to answer your queries, and your secrets are safe with
me.”
Looking him in the eye, she asked after rephrasing her sentences with the appropriate choice of words,
“Why is Jessica constantly showing up around you and Larry?”
Huh? How am I supposed to answer this? I can’t possibly tell her that Jessica has a thing for Larry and
is trying to court him, can I? Nope! That will break Joan’s heart. Besides, the feelings aren’t even
mutual. Larry merely considers Jessica just another friend of his!
“She’s the daughter of the most influential domestic manufacturer. You’re aware of the issues Norton
Corporation has to tackle these days, aren’t you?”
Caspian had always been a man of few words, yet he had gone to great lengths to exin their
rtionship. Thus, Joan was sure that something fishy was going on between Larry and Jessica.
“Caspian, I know you’re trying to defend Larry, and I don’t me you since you’re obliged to do so.
However, our rtionship will only worsen if I can’t sort out the misunderstanding between us. I don’t
mind turning a blind eye on their rtionship, so please tell me the truth.”
She disliked being deceived the most because it would only make things worse than it already was.
As Larry’s wife, she had to figure out how he actually felt toward Jessica. Although she was reluctant to
file for divorce, she might have to make the call if things got to the point of no return. Perhaps that was
the only viable solution left.
“Joan, you need to stop overthinking things because nothing’s going on between them. Jessica has a
crush on him, but you’re the only one Larry cares for. In fact, he has turned her down more than once.
Don’t worry. Things will turn out just fine for you and Larry.”
Caspian ended up telling Joan the truth because he didn’t want to lie to her. He was the type of person
who usually behaved indifferently and only showed his mischievous side in front of a selected few.

Is that all? If he doesn’t have a thing for her, why was he with herst night? Where have they been?
Not only did he leave Caspian alone in the hospital, but he’s also nowhere to be seen in thepany.
What about the woman’s disappearance? It can’t all be a mere coincidence, right? Something fishy is
going on. Have they eloped? Colors drained from Joan’s face at that thought.
Caspian noticed that she had turned pale. Concerned, he asked, “Joan, are you okay? You don’t look
that good. Are you not feeling well?”
“Has Larry mentioned anything about what he has been up totely?” Joan probed further in a barely
audible voice.
“He’s busy dealing with thepany’s ongoing issues after the termination of the coboration with the
domestic manufacturer some time ago.”
“Why isn’t he in his office? Jessica hasn’t dropped by to deliver him his breakfast either!”
What does Joan mean? Is she indicating that they have eloped? Is that possible? I think she’s
overthinking things again. Larry will never agree to elope with Jessica since he doesn’t have a thing for
her.
Smiling, Caspian rebuked, “Maybe he’s out for another meeting with a client.”
Forget it. Caspian doesn’t seem to know their whereabouts. After she made up her mind to stop
interrogating the innocent man, the emotions she had been holding back came flooding out.
She had never once doubted the man, yet he ended up hurting her again and again.
Maybe change is just an inevitable part of human nature. All the pledges and promises seem so ironic
because no one can possibly remain loyal to their spouse when we’re all beings driven by our desires!
