Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1630

When she saw the way Caspian was hesitating, she tugged his arm. “Trust me. Nothing will happen. If we really intervene in Joan’s private matters, we’ll be lucky if we get to clear our name.”

Then, she huffed at Caspian.

Sometimes, Nancy was aggressive. Most of the time, she was independent; she rarely relied on him. Hence, when her hand was on his arm, Caspian could not think of anything else.

He used to be a soldier, so following orders was part of his nature. However, that did not mean he had the right to intervene in someone else’s private life, especially Joan’s.

When Joan raised her arm to look at her watch, she realized it was already eight at night. They were almost done with their food by then. The entire time, Dustin was the one who did the most talking while she listened to him.

She listened to him talk about the interesting matters in research, about his work progress, about the culture of other countries, and sometimes, about their past.

“It’s getting late. I should be going back.”

Hearing that, Dustin subconsciously responded, “Hm? Let me send you home then.”

His words amused Joan. “Dr. Silverman, have you forgotten that you just arrived today?”

Dustin blushed. The next thing he heard her say was, “I’ll hail a cab home. It’s fine.”

Knowing that his insistence would make anyone frustrated with him, he fell silent. All he did after sending her off was stare at her cab until it disappeared into the night.

He knew his feelings for her that had lay dormant for the past year were waking despite himself.

On the way back, the cab was met with some troubles. Feeling guilty, the cab driver kept apologizing to Joan and even wanted to refund her money.
