Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2188

At least she’s quick witted. For the briefest moment, Noelle’s lips curled into a delighted grin at Joan.

“But I want you to cook for me… and I’m already used to the food you make,” Caiden lowered his head and puffed his cheeks.

What the… Noelle was flabbergasted.

Since when was Caiden so childish? He’s normally all indifferent and cold towards others. Why is he suddenly acting like a bashful schoolboy? He’s even behaving so coquettishly!

“Please? I really like the food you make…” Caiden pouted and begged with a purring voice.

A shiver ran down Noelle’s back. She stared narrowed-eyed in disbelief at this kittenish version of Caiden.

“Um… what’s up with you? Can’t you be more normal?” Noelle murmured awkwardly as she nudged Caiden’s back.

In response, Caiden turned to face her with a darkened gaze. “Shut up!”

Yep, he’s completely different with her than with me.

Noelle couldn’t help but feel envious again.

Wait… so he’s extremely indifferent to everyone, no matter their gender—except towards Joan. He’s only ever this gentle and affectionate towards Joan!

Has he lost his marbles? What the hell is he thinking? Joan has a family; she’s got a husband and a kid! Won’t it be messed up if Caiden goes after her?

Just as Noelle was deep in thought, Joan raised her voice and refused firmly, “I really do have plans tomorrow. I haven’t been back to the supermarket in a while, and there’s a lot of matters I have to attend to.”

Joan mentally nodded at her firm rejection. This is for the best. Otherwise, he’ll get too used to having me around.

Noelle then chimed in intentionally, “Joan’s life doesn’t just revolve around you, Caiden. Quit latching onto her! Do you think that she’s a bachelor like you? You’re forgetting; she has a husband and a child, as well as others she has to take care of. She’s a really busy person!”

This damned girl! Why does she always have to be so blatantly honest? A hostile glint flashed in Caiden’s dark gaze.

“You should go to your room and rest.” Although Caiden said this in a soft voice, his face darkened furiously.

“I’m not tired,” Noelle retorted. She boldly continued, “Besides, I’d rather watch the two of you work out this dilemma.”
