Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1910

Chapter 1910 Dustin Has To Back Off

“What are you talking about?” Joan frowned a little while holding onto her phone.

“I mean, I’m in the village at the moment. But I’m not sure which one is your house,” Dustin explained.

Joan was stunned.

He has come all the way here to this rural village?

“Oh, hang on. I’ll come to get you,” Joan said while darting out.

After a long search, Joan finally found Dustin’s car in one of the small alleyways. The man was huffing and puffing right then.

“Your place is not easy to find, to say the least,” Dustin complained.

Well, nobody invited you here. Joan shot him a disinterested glance but made no comment.

“Hold on, wait for me.” Dustin was panting heavily behind her.

“Mr. Dustin!” Lucius’ voice rang abruptly.

“Hey, Lucius.”

“Mr. Dustin, what are you doing here?” Lucius asked, looking innocent.

Dustin paused briefly before he let out a smile.

“Because I’ve missed you,” the man said while pinching playfully at Lucius’ cheek.

“Hi, Ms. Young,” Dustin greeted Delilah.

Delilah responded by eking out a faint smile, which made Joan wonder if she was unhappy about Dustin’s unannounced visit.

“Here, have some water,” Delilah said while handing him a glass of water.

Dustin’s eyes swept one round skeptically before it landed on Joan.

“So, you’ve decided to live here?” Dustin asked, pursing his lips slightly.

Joan knew what the man was implying, and she nodded resolutely at him.

“Alright, then,” the man said while resuming a neutral expression.

“By the way, I’ve bought some supplements for Lucius. They will help speed up his recovery.”

Joan looked at the shopping bags and nodded absent-mindedly.

Meanwhile, Dustin’s smile froze awkwardly on his face.

“Oh, it’s just that it’s getting darker, and I’m worried about Mr. Dustin’s safety on the way back to the city,” Lucius was quick to explain.

Dad is not around, so I have to be vigilant about other men lurking around Mom.

“Oh, I see. Well, it is indeed getting late. I suppose I’ll get going and come back another day,” Dustin said while scratching the back of his head embarrassedly.

Joan could not help but feel bad for the man.

“Um, maybe you could—”

“Yeah, Mr. Dustin. You should come back again in the morning.” Joan was cut off mid-sentence as Lucius decided to chime in.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Two weeks later, Joan was in the supermarket and bumped into her ex-colleagues. “Hey, it’s Joan,” one of them greeted.

“You must be feeling free like a bird after leaving this job.”

Conversations erupted as the few of them gathered around her.

“Aren’t you guys afraid of being caught abandoning your posts by the supervisor?” Joan said in a low voice.
