Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2274
“I know what you’re trying to get at, but the situation has changed. Larry and Jessica’s relationship is purely professional, and they are nothing more than friends and colleagues. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Jessica yourself,” Caspian tried to explain.
Colleagues? Even colleagues might one day turn into lovers. Then, get married and spend the rest of their lives together. What a joke. The term “professional relationship” is nothing more than a flimsy lie.
“I think that’s alright,” she shook her head. “I’m tired, and I want to rest.”
Why in the world is this woman being so stubborn? Just what does she want Larry to do in order to earn her forgiveness?
In a low voice, Caspian inquired exasperatedly, “Then, can you tell me what is going on between you and Dustin? I’ve seen him come here several times already.”
What else could happen between me and Dustin? We are just good friends.
Failing to detect the suspicious tone of Caspian’s voice, she replied, “He comes to visit occasionally because he cares for me as a friend.”
Huh? That’s it? No way. If I remembered correctly, Dustin has been in love with her for a long time. Is she also cheating on Larry?
“Let me remind you that you’re a married woman, Joan. It would do you some good to not interact too much with this kind of scummy man, or others will start to run their mouths,” he told her matter-of-factly.
If she was going to insist on standing her ground, then he had no more reason to spare her dignity or pride. When it came down to it, Caspian would always side with Larry.
“What are you trying to say? There’s nothing between Dustin and me! You tell Larry to stop accusing me of things I didn’t do because my conscience is clear!” Joan retorted.
