Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2146
Caiden was soon left alone in the ward. He stared outside and went into deep thought.
“So, son, how did I do? I think I cooperated quite well, didn’t I?” His mother suddenly entered the room.
“Why are you here again? I told you I’m fine. I will be discharged soon,” Caiden replied in an annoyed fashion.
However, the woman was very concerned for her son. It had been a long time since she last saw him. She was a little disappointed that he did not seem to want her around.
“Caiden, I’m worried for you. Do you like the girl from yesterday? Why don’t you court her if you do?”
She was unaware that Joan was already married and had kids. All she knew was that Caiden liked her, and she would support her son no matter what.
“Really?” Caiden suddenly turned excited, and his eyes shone brightly.
This silly child. What’s there to doubt about this? Doesn’t he know that he has to put in effort for the love of his life? Also, I trust his judgment.
Meanwhile, Joan rushed back home as she panted heavily.
“Mom?” Lucius yelled happily, shocked to see his mother.
“Lucius, where is your father?” she asked anxiously.
“He already left work.” Joan immediately turned disappointed when she heard her son’s response.
Crap! He must be angry. I should head to his office. She quickly changed her clothes and rushed out of the house.
“Mom!” All of a sudden, Lucius stopped his mother as she was about to leave.
“What’s up?” Joan turned around and asked.
“Dad looked like he wasn’t in a good mood last night,” the boy told her seriously.
Lucius seems serious. Larry must be really angry… Joan recollected herself and smiled at her son lightly before she got Delilah to send Lucius off. She headed out of the home as quickly as she could after that.
“I got it.” In the office, Larry stared at the file in his hand, obviously distracted and annoyed.
“Larry, what’s up? You spent an entire morning reading a single document. Did something happen at home?” Caspian asked, worry lacing his eyes as he looked at Larry.
Apart from Joan, who else could affect Larry’s feelings? I can’t think of anyone else.
“It’s nothing,” the other man replied dryly as he walked towards the windows.
Then, the smell of cigarette smoke overtook the room. Caspian’s heart ached for this man who looked so lonely and pitiful.
“You can go ahead with your day. I will let you know if I need help,” Larry abruptly stated.
Thus, Caspian left the office without another word.
“You’re smoking?” A woman’s voice rang loud and clear from outside.
The staff outside looked at the woman with much disdain. owns all © content.
“Why is she always here?”
“Who the hell knows? It’s the boss’ business.”
“Do you think they’re together?”
“Come on! Mr. Norton is not like that!”
The few colleagues continued to gossip in the washroom.
It was a well-known fact that Jessica often came to the office to look for Larry. Newer employees who were unaware Larry was married would often mistake the two for husband and wife instead.
After all, it had been a long time since Joan came to the office. Furthermore, Jessica always came with breakfast.
“What are you doing here again?” Larry queried coldly.
It was apparent that he was not in a good mood. Jessica had already guessed this; she was no fool. Her previous words seemed to have successfully caught his attention. It looked like they were working on him.
“What’s wrong? Is it because Joan is taking care of another man in the hospital?” Jessica intentionally released the information.
What? Slowly, Larry turned around and stared at Jessica sternly. His aura turned ominous and cold. Jessica was taken aback by his sudden change in demeanour.
What’s going on? I thought he already knew? Why’s he reacting like that? Subconsciously, the woman retreated a few steps away from the furious man.
