    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2805


    Marry Me


    Ted gazed nkly at Jake’s retreating figure in confusion. I’m supposed to ask Joan out? What


    nonsense is this? Why would she agree to go out with me? Or should I do it using Mr. Wilson’s name?


    sping his fists, Ted grew in confidence.


    “Ms. Watts!”


    Seeing how Ted dashed toward her, Joan was startled for a second before her features gradually


    returned to normal.


    Why is he here? Oh no, does he intend to find fault with me? A tinge of fear shed across her eyes.

    It was not easy for her to lead a stable life. All she wanted was to wait until the issue settled down in


    the city, before returning home. However, she did not expect Jake to have found her so fast.


    “Is there anything I can help you with?” she asked without beating around the bush.


    Embarrassed, Ted sniffled.


    “Um… Ms. Watts, Mr. Wilson would like to ask you out,” he enunciated each word carefully.


    The whole world was aware that Jake loathed Joan very much, to the extent that he harbored hatred


    toward her. Hence, it would be a natural thing for Joan to decline to meet up with Jake.


    “Sorry, I’m quite busy and don’t have time for a chat,” Joan rejected bluntly.


    This woman clearly doesn’t know what’s good for her! No, I can’t let Jessica find her. Ted’s gaze grew


    intense.


    “Ms. Watts, our president really has something to discuss with you. It’s about Ms. Young and the child,”


    Ted covered his mouth and whispered.


    Joan was stupefied.


    What is he trying to do? Threatening me with an elderly and a kid? That’s utterly despicable! Putting


    down the tool in her hand, she stared daggers at the man before him.


    “Inform Jake that I’ll not forgive him if he dares toy a finger on Ms. Young and Lucius!” she retorted


    coldly.


    Ted was taken aback by her response.


    He could not figure out why would Joan care so much for two individuals who had no blood


    connections with her.


    “Shall we?” Ted gestured her to walk ahead.


    Thump! Joan kicked away the pebbles by her feet and left with gritted teeth. Shortly after, they both


    arrived at a nearby restaurant.


    At a far corner of the restaurant, Jake slouched into a sofa and was casually sipping coffee.


    Thump!


    Joan pushed the door open and stomped in aggressively.


    “What do you want, Jake?” she yelled, furrowing her brows.


    What else? Of course I want you!


    “Never in a million years have I thought that you’re still alive and kicking, Joan,” he said in a strange


    tone.


    Before her arrival, he spent a lot of time contemting what to say and how to express his thoughts


    about her. Yet, the moment he saw her, he returned to his hostile self.


    What’s wrong with me? I do love her, don’t I? He pinched his thigh mercilessly in an attempt to clear his


    mind.


    “You’re really something, Jake. Only the rich and wealthy can do whatever they want, whenever they


    want it, wherever it is,” Joan said sarcastically.


    Thanks to his dad!


    “Why? Are you jealous? Marry me then, and I’ll let you have everything that you’ve ever dreamt of,


    including Larry,” Jake teased her.


    Good heavens! He must be off his rocker! What’s up with him that he’d utter such nonsensical things?


    Jake could not be bothered about Larry’s existence as he only wanted Joan.
