Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2097

The whole time, Joan was completely lost in her thoughts. She kept wondering about the reasons why Larry did not answer her calls and whatever he might be doing now. Could he have forgotten about the field trip?

“Mom?” Lucius tugged on his mother again, a little forcefully this time.

“Ah? Yes, dear?” Joan said.

Oh, come on! Mom’s not even paying attention to me! Lucius hung his head low.

“Joan, Lucius says he wants to sponsor the school when he grows up.” Sensing the awkwardness between the mother and son, Caiden casually smoothed the matter over.

Thank goodness you’re here, Caiden. Joan grinned.

“That’s wonderful, Lucius. I’ll always support you.” Joan solemnly observed the boy in front of her.

He was still a kid, after all. As long as he had support, Lucius would get all excited, especially with Joan and Larry’s encouragement.

“Yes, Mom. You think so too, don’t you? Caiden’s really awesome…” Lucius exclaimed.

Caiden, who was listening from the side, could not believe his ears.

What an innocent and kind little boy! Perhaps this is how children from the villages turn out to be. Simple and modest, with none of the pretense usually found in city kids. Gosh, I think I’m starting to like this kid. Maybe, he’ll be able to help me out later on!

Soon, the teachers, the students, along with their parents arrived at the great outdoors. It did not look particularly dangerous in any way, just a lot more bushes and shrubs. Under normal circumstances, children were most afraid of the wild and unfamiliar, but they felt more courageous with their parents around, and so they were actively willing to take on any task.
