Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2289

“No, it has nothing to do with you. I just want to be alone. I’m sorry, Caiden, but you should go back.” As Joan said that, she whirled around to leave.

“No! Tell me what exactly the problem is, Joan!” Caiden demanded loudly as he grabbed her arm.

“There’s no problem. I just don’t want to be with you! Do you get it now? Please don’t waste your time on me anymore. It won’t do you any good!” Joan roared while forcefully shaking him off. Then, she left.

What the hell happened just now? I traveled thousands of miles and exhausted myself to come here all the way just to hear her telling me to go back? Caiden’s eyes were filled with utter chagrin.

No! I certainly won’t go back! Even if she doesn’t want me to follow her, I’ll still secretly protect her!

Meanwhile, Joan went back to the hotel right away. Plopping down onto the sofa, she closed her eyes and composed herself.

I’m sorry, Caiden, but I don’t want anyone to disrupt my life now, including Larry.

A long while later, she packed her bags and left.

Very quickly, the plane landed and she arrived in another country. It was a place with beautiful scenery and simple folks.

“Hello! Welcome to our village!” a villager greeted, bowing to her all of a sudden.

“Hello, and thank you,” Joan replied.

The villagers had gathered; they seemed to be having an event. The mood was very lively. Driven by curiosity, Joan went over.

“Is there anyone else? Are there any more tourists here?” the person on stage asked loudly.

Is he referring to me? As Joan darted her eyes around, unease slithered into her. What’s the deal about tourists? Are we not allowed here?

“Yes!” a man beside her suddenly hollered and shoved her onto the stage.

All at once, terror engulfed Joan.

Oh dear, what’s happening here? What exactly are they doing?

In a corner some distance away, Caiden watched the turn of events with concern written all over his face.
