Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2533

“A man by the name of Jasper has been troubling her lately.” There was a shred of complaint and lack of self-confidence in the way Caspian spoke.

“What are you afraid of? Jessica doesn’t even like him.”

“Yes, she doesn’t fancy him now but as time passes, there’s no guarantee that she won’t have a change of heart.”

Right then, Caspian finally realized what it meant to feel insecure and miserable.

“Aren’t you two living together? What are you still afraid of?” Larry reminded him.

Maybe I’m just thinking too much. Caspian frowned as he ruminated the reasons for his discontent.

Maybe I care about Jessica too much. Maybe I’m mad that she’s giving me the cold shoulder treatment. I don’t know. I’m just not in the mood!

“You’re right!” Caspian replied loudly, and rose to his feet.

The call was from Dustin. She dared not answer.

“Joan! Hey! Are you daydreaming? Your phone’s been ringing for ages. Can you just get that?” Delilah pointed out the obvious as she walked over to her.

“It’s just one of those spam calls. Some foreign marketing company wants to sell me stuff,” Joan simply came up with a lie.

“Get into your room then. You’re just going to affect my mood if you stay here,” Delilah urged her to leave the living room.

Joan collected her phone and shuffled into her room like a zombie. She flopped onto the bed, feeling resigned, as though all her hopes and dreams had been sucked out of her.

Should I come clean to Larry? What would he think of me if he finds out the truth? All that thinking was making her head throb.

Noises came from outside the house. Delilah was questioning a man who had dropped by, “And what brings you here?”
