Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2079
Upon hearing Jaden’s name, Joan searched her mind for a moment before she finally recalled him. Since he once helped me, I naturally can’t decline. And this is his sister, so it’s probably fine.
“Sure. Why don’t you send me the location? I’ll go over right away.”
The two of them then exchanged some pleasantries before hanging up the phone. Noelle stood rooted to the spot, a chill emanating from her.
I just want to see what exactly is so good about Joan Watts that Caiden has been thinking about her night and day all these years!
“I’ll be going out for a while, Ms. Young!” In the living room, Joan pivoted and headed out after saying that.
When Delilah heard that, her guard abruptly went up.
“Where are you going, Joan? It’s not quite safe out there nowadays, so try to stay home as much as possible.”
“It’s okay, so don’t worry, Ms. Young. Gabriella has gone abroad, purportedly to handle some business matters. Thus, she won’t be back for the time being,” Joan replied with a soft chuckle.
Delilah merely knew that Gabriella had gone abroad recently, but she had no idea why she did so. In that case, we can really enjoy peaceful days henceforth.
“Alright, then. Have a good time out there, but remember to stay safe.” She then turned around and went back to the kitchen.
She knew that Joan had been cooped up in the house for a long while, so it was indeed time for her to go out for some air.
Ah, it’s been such a long time since I’ve been out in the open! Joan raised her head to the sky with her eyes closed as she breathed in the fresh air.
The air in the village is the best! Excitement imbued her.
She didn’t drive, planning to walk to the entrance of the village and hail a cab instead.
As she gazed at the flowers and plants around her while walking, she found it all endearing.
The flowers in Ms. Young’s garden are probably doing well, no? Subsequently, she righted a clump of grass that had been trampled by the roadside.
Meanwhile, Noelle sat in a corner in a café as she waited for someone with a stack of documents in her hands.
Indeed, it was information about Joan in the recent years.
Hah! This woman is really something else. She actually stole her best friend’s husband! At that, Noelle’s eyes glinted with a vicious gleam. Since she already has a husband, why is she still pestering Caiden? Or is it merely one-sided on Caiden’s part? No, I should be too reckless in this matter. It’s better to get to the bottom of it first.
All of a sudden, an elegantly dressed woman pushed open the door and walked in. Well, she must be Joan Watts, yes? Sure enough, she’s outstanding and stunningly beautiful with a superb figure to boot. It seems that her personality is nice, too. Also, her countenance merely manifests the beauty of time without any flaws.
“Hello! Over here!” Noelle swiftly waved a hand at Joan.
When Joan spotted her in the corner, she instantly hurried over.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting,” Joan apologized.
In truth, she wasn’t late. Rather, it was Noelle who was early.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Noelle Ford, Jaden’s sister. I’ve heard all about you,” she declared, cutting right to the chase.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Joan Watts,” Joan answered with a smile.
She doesn’t look as though she’s a cunning person, but I just don’t understand why she asked me out.
“Is something the matter that you asked me out today, Ms. Ford?” she asked without beating around the bush.
She didn’t think that Noelle merely asked her out for a cup of coffee. If that were truly the case, then it would be really dishonest of her.
“Well, I’m going to get right to the point, then. Jaden, Caiden, and I grew up together, so our relationship is very close. Thus…” At that, Noelle paused for a moment and took a sip of tea while stealing a glance at the woman sitting across from her.
Hmm? This is strange. Why is there no reaction from her? Shouldn’t she be jealous when I mentioned the three of us growing up together? But why don’t I see a single hint of chagrin in her eyes? Contrarily, there’s a wealth of calmness and curiosity.
However, Joan merely smiled as she waited for her to finish her utterance.
“Thus, I like Caiden. Although he has always regarded me as a sister, I’ve been regarding him as a man.” Noelle was extremely blunt in her words.
