Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2543

“That’s right. If you don’t feel nervous, neither will Caiden. At most, it just feels a little awkward,” Lucius answered at once.

Joan suddenly fell silent.

She realized that Lucius could sense the tension between the two of them.

As his mom, Joan performed perfectly on and off the stage, to the extent that she won praise from both the parents and teachers.

“Who is the lady on the stage? She is so charismatic!”

“She’s the mother of the top boy in that class.”

“Look at them, how exceptional…”

As Joan continued with her speech on stage, Caiden looked on with a reluctant and helpless expression.

If I hadn’t given up, would she have chosen me? Lowering his head, sadness was written all over his face.

Perhaps, she still wouldn’t.

By now, Caiden had seen the light. Love can never be forced, not to mention I still have to shoulder the responsibilities of my family. Furthermore, with my dad monitoring all my movements, not seeing Joan might be the best form of protection I can give her.

“Alright, we would like to thank Lucius’ mom for the inspiring speech. Next, it’s our pleasure to invite our special guest for today, Mr. Caiden Owens to say a few words,” the emcee announced excitedly.

The hall broke into a thunderous applause.

“Teachers, parents, and students, good afternoon. I am Caiden…”

Meanwhile, Joan, who was sitting beside Lucius, watched intently as Caiden gave his speech.

He has really changed. The stubborn, domineering, and self-centered man is no longer there. After not seeing each other in a long time, he has indeed matured a lot. Joan’s eyes were filled with relief.

Perhaps, this is what Mr. Owens wanted to see.

“Mom, what’s wrong? Are you feeling under the weather?” Lucius asked, as he gently patted her back with concern.

“It’s nothing.” She quickly turned around and looked at him.

Finally, the parent-teacher conference ended.
