A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2186

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2186

“Okay, I’ll join you for a meal. But you’ll have to stay at home and rest after that, okay?” Joan’s question came off as a firm statement.

She was worried that someone might notice if Caiden went over to Delilah’s home and had too much fun with Lucius. Although the village was small and humble, there were still inevitably some gossip-seeking and rumor-spreading people.

“You really don’t want me to see Lucius, huh? Fine, we’ll put that aside for now. Let’s eat!” Caiden said as he nudged her into the dining room.

“This tastes really good!” He salivated excitedly at the freshly made dishes before him.

She made all this food for me, so they’re absolutely delicious.

The door suddenly creaked open—it was Jaden.

“Woah, that smells great!” Jaden said aloud.

His voice bubbled with laughter as he joked, “What a coincidence! How uncanny that I walked in right when you guys are eating. So tell me, did you guys specifically prepare these for me?”

Noelle peeked out from behind him and exclaimed, “Oh? And you’ve got someone else with you, a girl nonetheless!”

Ugh! Why did those two show up now of all times? Caiden’s lips twitched with annoyance. I finally got some alone time with Joan. Now, look at what they’ve done! They ruined everything. Are they doing it on purpose?

“What brings you guys here?” Caiden grunted.

Jaden frowned slightly at his rude question. What kind of a twisted joke is that? Why can’t I be here? This is literally my home! Jaden paced into the dining room and smacked his lips like a starving child.

A playful smile curved on Jaden’s face. He teased, “I thought I’d come home and spend time with you since I miss you so much.”

The truth was that Caiden’s mom had sent him over. She was worried for Caiden, who was just discharged from the hospital and had no one to care for him at home. And since she and Caiden had a strained mother-son relationship, she could only ask Jaden to go over and keep Caiden company.

“You spending time with me? What a load of rubbish. I’m grateful enough when you’re not to pissing me off,” Caiden complained straightforwardly.
