Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2099

“Um, Caiden…” Joan approached him.

“You two can sleep in the tent. I’ll stay out here.”

Caiden’s statement surprised Joan. She never thought he would say something like that.

“Mom, are we really leaving Caiden outside?” Lucius asked Joan.

Indeed, in the wild, there would be an awful lot of bugs. Even if Joan really wanted to get some sleep, she doubted the bugs would let her. Joan was a little concerned about Caiden, but she threw her worries out the window at the thought of Larry. Caiden would just have to put up with the long night.

“Very well then.” Joan glanced at the man, her guilty conscience getting in the way of her judgment.

Caiden knew that would happen, but instead of waiting for her to say it, it would be better if he brought it up himself. It might even give her a good impression of him.

“Mom, why don’t we let Caiden get in the tent too? It’s going to be windy and cold at night, with mosquitoes and other bugs,” Lucius was practically pleading.

Children had a lot less to consider. Lucius simply did not want Caiden to get hurt or stung because of him, or he would feel guilty. He did not think about the stuff that happened between adults.

Joan looked from Lucius to Caiden. Conflict was eating her up inside.

“Lucius, he’s not your father. He can’t sleep with us.” Joan stroked his head.

But he attended the field trip in Dad’s place, didn’t he? The boy had a displeased look on his face.

“But Mom, I don’t want anything to happen to Caiden because of this.” Lucius lowered his head.

Joan did not like seeing Lucius like that. Perhaps, she could call Larry and inform him about things, so that if news about it got out, at least he was kept in the loop. And so, Joan fished out her phone and called Larry.

Unfortunately, Larry’s phone remained unreachable.
