Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2558

“No,” Larry replied.

When he saw how calm Larry was, Caspian was puzzled. Nevertheless, he left the office without saying anything further.

“How did it go? What did Larry say?” Jessica asked anxiously.

Looking at her, Caspian shook his head in silence.

Forget it! If he is not concerned, there’s no reason for us to be. Jessica turned and left.

“Joan, what was our relationship previously?” Dustin stared at her and asked.

Briefly stunned, Joan averted her gaze as she didn’t want to answer his question.

“We were friends,” Joan pretended to act casually as she replied.

Despite knowing that he would one day recover his memory, she didn’t have the courage to tell him about their past.

“Is that so? And yet, here I was, thinking that we were husband and wife,” Dustin mumbled as he took a bite from the apple in his hand.

At that moment, Joan felt an inexplicable bout of sadness.

“In that case, what kind of man do you like?” Dustin asked again.

Why is he asking such a nosy question? Joan looked at him with a smile.

“Someone nice.” Her answer was simple but deep at the same time.

“Do I look like someone nice to you now?” he followed up at once.

At that moment, Joan was stunned. You do but as a friend. She laughed awkwardly and pretended to not have heard him.

As Joan gradually grew closer to Dustin after spending so much time together, Larry began to worry.

After twenty days, when Dustin was well enough, the doctor recommended he be discharged. Hence, both of them could no longer stay together.

“Joan, I don’t want to be away from you,” Dustin insisted softly as he grabbed onto Joan’s hands tightly.

“You have recovered now, and it’s time to learn how to take care of yourself,” Joan comforted him.

Have I lost myself in this? Was it really a good idea to have cared for him unconditionally? She was worried that he would cling to her just like how he had previously done.

“What’s wrong?” Dustin asked.

“Nothing. Come, let’s pack quickly. It’s time to go home.” Just as she spoke, Joan began to get busy.

The weather was good with clear skies all the way. Everything simply looked perfect. By the side of the road, there were a few stray cats rolling around languidly.

“Alright now, I’ll go off first.” Just as she spoke, Joan turned to leave.

“Wait, where are you going?” Dustin grabbed her arm and asked.

“I’m going home,” she replied.

Dustin smirked, looking upset. Going home to see Larry?

“In that case, who will cook for me?” Suddenly, Joan’s gaze darkened.

“Erm, I’ll hire a maid for you.”
