Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2412
“Then tell me, what kind of a person you are?” the man pressed.
Birds of a feather flock together. I guess that rings true. Caiden and his family are really a bunch of weirdos!
“I don’t think I need to answer that.”
This woman is certainly not what meets the eye. The man sized Joan up with an irritated look.
“Then, please don’t disturb my son ever again in the future. You’re just an ordinary woman, and Caiden is definitely out of your league.”
“Mr. Owens, I’ve never disturbed Caiden right from the beginning! I’m sorry, but I still have things to attend to, so I have to leave now.”
This time, Joan left without turning back.
“Mr. Owens, how should we settle this matter?” Keith’s assistant at the side asked anxiously.
None of them had expected Joan to be so bull-headed and intransigent. They all thought that the reason she didn’t accept the money was that it was too little, but the truth was she didn’t love Caiden at all.
“Let’s go back first. We’ll talk about that later.”
“Joan!” Here comes another familiar yet detached voice! Why am I meeting all kinds of freaks today?
“Hello there, what is it?” she turned around and asked directly.
She was certain that it must be related to Caiden as well. “I need to talk to you,” Yelena stepped forward and said.
“If you’re going to talk about Caiden, I’m sorry. I don’t think there’s anything to talk about,” Joan replied.
What a rash woman. Doesn’t she have any idea who she has offended by now? Yelena’s eyes gleamed with disdain.
“Caiden was admitted to the hospital. Don’t you need to give me an explanation?” Yelena asked.
“Well, I’m indeed partly the cause of Caiden illness. I’m truly sorry about that. But none of you actually wants me to look after him, do you?”
“I don’t care what’s in Caiden’s mind, but please help send him my message—Joan is my woman!” Larry declared assertively.
What a domineering man! For some reason, Yelena was shaken by Larry’s demeanor.
“What did you say to her?” Joan asked.
“Nothing much. Let’s go home and have dinner,” he answered as he pinched her cheek softly.
Mmm, that’s strange. He should be very mad about the whole incident! Why is he so composed instead? Joan studied Larry carefully and was baffled. The reason Joan couldn’t understand why Larry wasn’t angry was because Jessica had told her over the phone that Larry was aware of everything that had happened at the mall. Hence, she had expected Larry to be outraged with her, or even gave her the cold shoulder. But, everything seemed to be just fine.
“Larry,” Joan was hesitant to speak her mind.
“What is it?” He turned around at her with an earnest look on his face.
“What happened with Caiden was just an unexpected twist of fate,” she spoke very slowly.
