Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2066

“Look at that. What an image of sisterhood,” Jaden proclaimed as he walked into the room, placing the bags he was carrying aside.

“What did you buy? Are there snacks in there?” Nancy asked excitedly, her eyes dancing with anticipation.

“Of course. How could I not have gotten your favourite?” Jaden replied proudly. He fished out an enormous bag of assorted snacks and tossed it over to Nancy.

Even while pregnant, Nancy radiated a disarming beauty. If Nancy wasn’t so obviously taken, Jaden would have swooped in.

“Jaden, what’s happening out there?” Joan asked somberly.

“It’s a mess. Someone’s going door to door searching the rooms. This place isn’t safe anymore. We’ll have to move somewhere else,” Jaden replied gravely.

In fact, Jaden had been rather astounded by the doggedness of Nancy’s kidnapper. So many days had passed since Nancy had escaped, yet she was unrelenting in her pursuit. Jaden privately wondered just how great an offense Nancy had committed to warrant such a chase.

“Hey, where’s Caiden? Where did he go?” Nancy asked out of the blue, as if suddenly recalling his existence only then.

“He went out to deal with some other matters. He can’t be spending the whole day in here with you, can he?” Jaden remarked wryly.

He shot a glance at Joan, who was standing a little way off. Raising his voice slightly, Jaden continued, “Caiden’s always busy every day. I really don’t know which woman will be able to deal with that in the future,” Jaden said, purposely a sigh loud enough for Joan to hear.

Nancy hesitated, then slowly inched towards Jaden.

“Are you saying that Caiden doesn’t have a girlfriend now? That’s impossible! He’s so handsome and is such a kind-hearted man. How can he not have a girlfriend?” Nancy commented incredulously.

Everything Nancy had pointed out about Caiden was true. In fact, Caiden would have had a girlfriend by now if he hadn’t been so hung up over Joan. The various girls who had lusted after Caiden while he was in college were sophisticated, pretty maidens. They stood no chance, however, against Caiden’s steadfast obsession of his college sweetheart.

At least Caiden had finally met Joan now after all those years spent pining for her.

“Joan, do you have a boyfriend?” Jaden asked casually.

“Like me, Joan got married quite a few years ago,” Nancy quickly supplied.

What? She’s already married? Jaden thought, aghast. Did both of us go to all that trouble for nothing?
