Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2525
“I invited Mr. Dustin here. Is there a problem?” Lucius tilted his head, perplexed.
“It’s no problem at all. Joan, quick. Give Dustin a call,” Delh urged.
Put in a tight spot, Joan looked between Lucius and Larry.
This boy. How could he just invite Dustin over without saying anything beforehand?
“No need. I’m here,” Dustin announced just as he entered the house.
Stopping in the dining room, he praised after drawing in a deep breath, “The food smells amazing!”
“Why are you here?” Jessica questioned.
“What do you mean? Didn’t you guys invite me over?” Dustin asked in return.
“Yeah. Didn’t Grandma say to invite everyone for a meal together? So I called Mr. Dustin too,” Lucius
said innocently.
“Let’s eat!” Larry abruptly barked.
“Let’s eat, let’s eat!” Delh echoed, trying to diffuse the situation.
The initial happy and vibrant atmosphere was ruined by Dustin’s arrival.
Everyone was seated around the dining table, but the air was thick with tension.
“What’s wrong? Why is everyone acting so strangely?” Dustin broke the silence with a rueful look on
his face.
“Everything seems fine to me,” Lucius remarked.
Perhaps it was because Dustin took great care of Lucius in the past, that was why thetter had a good
impression of him. Naturally, he felt it was a must to have him over during this gathering.
“Let’s eat,” Delh urged again.
And so, everyone bowed their heads and dug in. Not a single word was uttered throughout the entire
dinner.
There were initially some after-dinner activities, but they were immediately canceled due to Dustin’s
attendance.
“Mom, didn’t you say we were going to y games after dinner?” Lucius hugged Joan’s legs and asked
in an expectant tone.
“Be a good boy, Lucius. It’s toote now. Mr. Caspian and Ms. Zimmer have to go home,” Joan coaxed.
Caspian’s heart ached when he noticed the disappointment in the boy’s eyes. Bending down, he

hoisted the boy into his arms.
“I’ll y with you next time, okay? I promise.” Caspian ced a gentle kiss on his forehead.
“Deal!” Lucius chirped happily.
Watching this scene, an odd glint appeared in Jessica’s eyes.
On the way home, she nced at him and raised the question that had been gnawing on her mind. “Do
you like kids a lot?”
“Mm-hmm. I do,” Caspian answered without giving it much thought.
“But Caspian…” Jessica looked him square in the eye and muttered, “You know that my career is really
important to me, so I might not be able to give you children.”
She knew that she needed to make things clear, lest she unwittingly offered him false hope.
“I never said I wanted you to give me children,” Caspian replied.
“But I’m sure you’d want an heir.”
Caspian reached over to curl an arm around her and reassured, “We can always go for adoption.”
Having said that, the two of them resumed chatting happily.
“Hey, if we really adopt a child, should the child have yourst name or mine?” asked Caspian.
“Mine, of course!”
“Why? Children should always follow their father’sst name!”
Both of them started bickering again, all the way back to their home.
“I’ll take my leave now,” Dustin announced at the door.
“Bye, Mr. Dustin!” Lucius waved at him.
Larry was sitting on the sofa in the living room, exuding an imposing aura as hepletely ignored the
man bidding farewell at the door.
Lucius threw himself into Larry’s arms and asked curiously, ”Dad, why didn’t you say goodbye to Mr.
Dustin?”
Larry clucked his tongue and grumbled, “So many questions.”
How am I supposed to tell him that Dustin is my love rival?
“Lucius, it’s time for bed. You need to wake up early for school tomorrow,” Delh urged.
Lucius peered at Larry for a moment longer before obeying Delh, padding toward his room.
“What happened earlier is all my fault. I didn’t make things clear with Lucius, so he ended up calling
Dustin over,” Delh said guiltily.
