Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2666

Such Is Life

Instantly, Joan had her guard up.

That’s true. Why does she keep picking on me? It’s not necessary to behave this way if it was merely for Dustin.

“Try to think about it.” Dustin carried on asking.

Joan sat down on the sofa, tilting her head and thinking for a long time. However, she couldn’t come to any conclusion.

“Forget it! Why am I stressing myself over this?” Joan waved her hands and went back to work.

“Are you planning to stay here permanently?” Dustin glanced at the surroundings and queried.

Joan had just rented the house, but Dustin had no idea how long did she rent it. Judging by the effort Joan had put into the house, it was definitely not a short-term rental.

“I’m not sure. It depends.” Joan answered.

The future was uncertain. Nobody would really know what was going to happen next, or who she was going to meet. Therefore, she could only enjoy and live in the moment.

Who knows? Perhaps, Jake will let go of the past soon. Perhaps, he might really hate me for the rest of his life. Joan let out a sigh, mopping the floor.

Such is life. It’s always full of ups and downs. Joan was used to it and willing to accept everything as it was. Deep down, she knew that it was useless to complain or blame others.

“How about you?” Joan suddenly stopped her work, asking while wiping the sweat off her forehead.

“I’m going back tomorrow,” Dustin answered. He was reluctant to leave her.

In fact, Dustin just wanted to send Abelyn back in order to prevent her from giving Joan hard times.

“Oh,” Joan responded in acknowledgment and carried on with her work again.

“I might be coming back again.” Dustin suddenly said.

Joan paused for a second. Out of curiosity, she slowly raised her head.

“Why are you coming back for?” Joan asked.

“I’m coming back for you! I’m worried about leaving you here alone.”

It was not her intention to hurt Dustin. However, if she didn’t speak harshly, he wouldn’t get over her.

“Do you have to be so heartless?” Dustin asked.

“Yes, I have to. I’m a cruel and wicked woman!”

Bang!

Dustin slammed the door and left.

All this while, he had been doing anything and everything silently for her and protecting her. In the end, that was all he got in exchange.

Joan had never given him any chance. Apart from that, she had never treated him as someone she loved, even if it was just for a moment.

Dustin sniffed and lowered his head. Then, he slowly walked away.

Dustin, I’m sorry. I can’t accept your love for me!

Joan was standing in front of the window as she watched Dustin left, with a glint of sadness in her eyes.
