Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2117

“Hi, Lucius! How are you? Do you miss me?” Caiden got up and lowered himself to Lucius’ eye level.

“Caiden! I missed you so much!” The young boy was full of beans and wrapped his hands around Caiden’s neck.

Delilah couldn’t believe her eyes.

Lucius has always found it hard to mingle with people he wasn’t familiar with. Why is he so natural around Caiden?

“Lucius didn’t dare to go rock climbing until Caiden helped with his character building. It’s interesting how he’s not afraid of heights anymore after that,” Joan explained upon seeing the look of confusion on Delilah’s face.

“I’m home!” Larry announced his arrival in the yard.

In the living room sat Caiden. He heard that cry, and a scheming thought came to him. How will Larry react when he sees me? Will he be shocked, or will he give me the cold shoulder? Maybe he’ll look at me in contempt? Or perhaps he’ll go panicky and react in fear?

“Dad’s home.” Lucius pulled Caiden by the hand and walked over to Larry.

Larry was stupefied when the other man entered his line of sight. What’s he doing here? And why does Lucius seem so close to him? Larry’s eyes scanned around the house, and he soon saw Joan making dinner, whereas Delilah was trimming some branches in the yard. It was hard for him to act naturally.

“Hi,” Larry greeted Caiden stoically.

“Am I not welcome?”

Duh! Isn’t that obvious? Larry hurled his briefcase onto the couch in a huff, not bothering to immediately respond to that sarcastic question.

“Dad, it was Caiden who went to the field trip with us when you couldn’t go,” Lucius whispered.

Larry had already been aware of the incident, and that was the reason his guard was up.

He had already had a feeling that the man standing in front of him had some hidden agendas ever since their first meeting. Little did he expect Caiden to make his move so soon.
