    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2719


    I Just Came To Say Hi


    “Our kitty will only settle for the highest quality of cat food…” Joan mumbled softly while slowly running


    her hand through the cat’s fur.


    “Well, well, well… If it isn’t Joan Watts!”


    A familiar voice came from behind, and Joan shuddered in terror when she turned around and saw the


    man before her.


    What’s he doing here?


    “Long time no see, Joan!” Jake greeted her as he made his way toward her.


    Heh, it really has been a long time… Joan snorted and shot him an icy-cold re.


    She had thought she was safe from his clutches by fleeing overseas, only to have him send De


    overseas to go after her.


    Unbeknownst to Joan, Jake was overseas as well when De held her hostage. However, the three of


    them had escaped from the log cabin by the time he got there that night.


    “What do you want?” Joan asked coldly and cautiously.


    “I just came to say hi, that’s all!” Jake replied with a nonchnt shrug.


    Is that so? I seriously doubt it’s that simple! Joan took her eyes off him and gazed at the cat in her arms


    affectionately instead.


    “How’s life?” Jake asked yfully.


    “It’s all right,” Joan answered firmly.


    Like hell it is! I nearly lost my life a while back! Dustin clenched his fists as he stood next to her and


    waited for Jake to say something.


    “Where have you beentely? I’ve missed you so much.”


    Jake’s words had Dustin looking at the both of them in confusion.


    What the hell is going on here?


    “Mind yournguage, Jake!” Joan reminded him coldly.


    Even with everything that has happened, this b*tch is still acting all high and mighty?


    “What? This is how I always have been.” Jake’s response was as calm as ever.


    “Sorry, we’ve got some other business to attend to, so we’ll be on our way now.” Joan then grabbed


    Dustin by the arm and began walking away.

    “Why are you avoiding me, Joan? What are you so afraid of?” Jake asked with a devilish grin.


    Dustin stopped in his tracks and gave her hand a little squeeze. “Why don’t you make it clear to him


    and draw the line?”


    “Ignore him, Dustin. I’ve told him countless times before, but it’s no use…” Joan exined.


    How am I supposed to draw the line with him? In fact, I just realized I don’t even know Jake all that


    well…


    “He’s been on your tail all this while?” Dustin asked in surprise.


    “Yes, and I’ve been avoiding him all this while,” Joan replied honestly as she figured there was no need


    to hide it any longer.


    “Does Larry know about this?”


    “A little…” Joan lowered her gaze and let out a sigh.


    So this guy is the reason why she went overseas!


    “Hey, Joan! Say hi to Larry for me, okay?” Jake waved at her from where he stood with a sinister smile


    on his face.


    He actually didn’t know that Joan had been living in Abelyn’s vi ever since her return to the country.


    “Oh, and Dustin? Give up, you don’t stand a chance.” Jake said as he walked away, leaving Dustin


    rooted to the spot in awkwardness.


    After all the time that has passed, he no longer expected Joan to reciprocate his love and simply hoped


    to protect her for as long as he could.


    “Come on, let’s go home!”


    The two of them then paid for their groceries and left the supermarket,pletely unaware of the


    mysterious person tailing them with a camera.


    “Back already? Wow, you guys are fast!” Abelyn called out to them happily when she saw them at the


    gate.


    Joan handed her some snacks from the grocery bag. “Here, look what Dustin got you!”
