Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2718
Running From Her Problems
“How has Joan been lately?” Larry asked coldly all of a sudden.
“Huh? Oh, right… Uh… She’s doing fine, don’t worry!” Caspian replied awkwardly as he actually had no idea how Joan was.
“What about Jessica? Is she doing all right?”
“Yeah, she is… Been a bit busy these days, though…” Caspian scratched the back of his head shyly as he said that.
Busy, eh? That’s better than being idle, I guess… Larry took a deep breath and booted up his computer.
“But, Larry…” Caspian said hesitantly.
“What is it?”
Larry looked up at him and waited for him to continue.
“Ms. Duff seems to have gone somewhere else.”
Hmm? Larry furrowed his brows.
Where is she going this time? Well, whatever… As long as she isn’t pestering me, it doesn’t really matter where she’s going!
“I see.”
Caspian couldn’t bring himself to tell him that Della was headed right for Joan’s location. He didn’t want to affect Larry’s mood and have him abandon his work to go looking for her.
“I’ll excuse myself for the time being, then…” Caspian walked out of the office after saying that.
Two weeks had soon passed, but Joan showed no signs of wanting to leave Abelyn’s villa.
Abelyn grew anxious at how relaxed Joan was, but Dustin didn’t seem to mind it at all.
Eventually, she couldn’t stand it anymore and whispered into Dustin’s ear, “Hey, Dustin… Aren’t you going to talk to her about it?”
And tell her what? To go home? Or to go see Larry?
Dustin shook his head in response.
“But she can’t keep running away from her problems either!”
“To buy some cat food with her!”
Abelyn didn’t know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing that.
I just had Joan make a trip to the supermarket for some cat food… Why is he getting so worked up over it? Well, whatever… That’s none of my business!
“Joan!” Dustin shouted while running towards her.
“What’s up, Dustin?” Joan had a gentle look on her face as she held the cat in her arms.
Dustin scratched the back of his head awkwardly and replied, “I’m going to the supermarket too.”
Little did they know, something big was awaiting them on that trip.
“Will this do?”
Dustin handed Joan a bag of cat food in the supermarket.
“No way! Our kitty doesn’t like this kind of cat food!” Joan rejected it immediately.
Jeez, why is she being so particular about it? It’s just a cat for crying out loud! Dustin thought to himself as he gave her and the cat a strange look.
