A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2189

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2189

Oh, so he’s here to visit Ms. Young. Joan nodded to herself. She then turned around and paced towards her room, excusing herself from their conversation. Truthfully, Joan did so because she suddenly felt dead tired after everything that happened with Caiden and Noelle earlier.

Why do people misunderstand every single thing I do? One of these days, I might actually get so fed up that I’ll ditch them all and travel the world. Who cares if they starve and can’t make their own meals!

She stood and watched as the flower buds swayed to the blowing wind outside her window. Mixed emotions with an overarching sadness lingered in her chest.

Larry… when will you be back? Bleak-grey sorrow flitted in her eyes.

“What’s going on?” Dustin pointed at Joan’s room and asked in a lowered voice.

“I don’t know. I’ve tried asking, but she won’t say a word. She’s been like this ever since she came home.” Delilah raised her shoulders into a helpless shrug.

Something must have happened. Dustin’s lips thinned with worry.

Larry’s not home, so is it Caiden that’s making her upset? He knew that Joan and Caiden had been awfully close these days, as well as the fact that Caiden had feelings for her.

“I’m going to check up on her,” Dustin announced before approaching Joan’s bedroom door and knocking on it.

Some time passed before Joan returned to her senses. When she did, the knocking startled her. She then darted to open the door.

“What took you so long?” Dustin grumbled, pretending to be offended.

“No reason. Why? What’s the matter?” Joan awkwardly scratched the back of her head.

“Let’s go to the supermarket. There’s still a lot to be done there, and we need the extra hand. Plus, everyone misses you since you haven’t been there in a while.”

It has been a long time, Joan thought. I should probably go visit.

“Alright,” she agreed in a low voice before putting on a coat and heading out the door.

Awkwardness stifled them on the entire journey there. Not a single word was spoken between them. Dustin could tell that Joan was in a foul mood.

“Let take a quick meal break because I’m starving,” Dustin held her hand and suggested.
