Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2119

“No, he left. It was late when he left, but he did,” Joan retorted immediately.

Delilah shook her head, appalled at Joan’s cluelessness about his whereabouts. “You’re mistaken. He spent the night in his car parked right outside our house.”

Joan dashed out of the house upon hearing that, and true enough, Caiden was there in his car.

“Caiden!” she shouted as she rapped at the window, trying to wake him. It took a while, but Caiden finally stirred from his sleep.

“Hey, Joan. Why are you up so early?” the man muttered as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

Joan looked incredulously at the man in front of her. “Why are you sleeping here, Caiden?”

“Oh, about that… “ Caiden replied sheepishly. “My car stalled last night.”

Unbeknownst to Joan, he had planned for such an occurrence to happen. He had even checked his car before going to the hospital.

Larry walked out in a huff after having heard the commotion. “What’s the matter?” he asked coldly.

“Good morning, Mr. Norton. My car engine stalled last night, so I’d need to ask you for a ride.”

Knowing how scheming Caiden was, Larry suspected it was all just an elaborate set up on the other man’s part. And from the looks of it, Caiden must have put in a lot of effort to pull it off so well.

“Alright, get in then. I’m about to leave,” Larry stated while trying to hide the displeasure on his face.

Joan, who had been quietly observing the two men, felt there was something off about Larry, even though she couldn’t describe what it was.

“Larry! You haven’t taken your breakfast!” Delilah shouted from inside the house.

“I’m not eating. I have to go to work. There are some pressing matters to attend to.”

Joan stayed rooted in her spot as she watched Larry drive off with Caiden in tow and soon found herself getting lost in her thoughts.
