Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2232

Huh? What is he saying? We’re in public, for god’s sake!

“Hey, cut the crap. This isn’t your house or the hospital. There are a lot of people around.” Joan patted his elbow lightly.

How cute of her. Since when does love require a time or place? I can express my love anywhere I want. But I know she can’t accept me now, especially since she’s still married.

“Why? Shocked at what I said? Come on, let’s go get a meal.”

The restaurant they visited was crowded. People were dining elegantly, and there was a delicate scent of roses in the air. Soothing music completed its warm ambiance.

“Would you like some red wine? Coffee?” Caiden asked softly as he stared at the woman seated across him.

“Red-, erm, I’ll just have a coffee,” Joan stumbled over her words.

Why didn’t she just order the red wine if she wanted it? Perplexed, Caiden stared at her.

“Why did you change your mind about the wine?”

“I don’t want to get drunk,” Joan answered honestly.

She had gotten drunk during her visit to the nightclub with Dustin. They even spent a night in a hotel, causing a huge misunderstanding with Larry. She didn’t want to make such a thoughtless mistake again.

“I’m here, so it’s fine. Don’t worry about getting drunk.” Caiden’s lips curved as he reassured her.

Pfft! I should be avoiding alcohol because he’s here. Dustin’s a gentleman, but I’m not so sure about Caiden.

“Nah, I’m not in the mood for drinks. Just get me the coffee,” she replied lightly.
