Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2090
“It’s no trouble at all! I should only be helping you. Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital,” she responded before attempting to help Caiden up.
“It’s fine. I’ve already gotten a check-up a few days ago. I’ll be okay after taking my medicine. Uhh… Could you help me get it? It’s on the table over there.” Caiden pointed to a table nearby.
Joan swiftly turned and grabbed the medicine.
“Have you eaten? I’ll cook you something.”
That’d be great! Caiden instantly became overjoyed. I didn’t think she’d start cooking for me this soon. It’s going to be an extraordinary meal.
“In that case, I’m counting on you,” Caiden answered frankly.
Joan walked right into the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator to find nothing but instant noodles inside there.
How on earth does he get by? Does he eat nothing but instant noodles? Joan’s gaze turned gloomy in an instant. How could such a charming man like him live such a shabby life? He probably hasn’t had anything to eat yet.
“What do you feel like eating? I’ll drop by the grocery store and grab some fruits and veggies.”
Caiden, who was seated on the couch, suddenly felt the urge to live on. We’d be so happy if we were to get married one day.
“I’d like to have something vegetarian, so more vegetables will do,” he replied blankly.
With that, Joan turned and left.
Sigh… What am I? A nanny? But still, I guess I’ll consider this my repayment of debt.
The woman left in such a rush that she forgot her phone, which began to vibrate on the table.
Half an hour passed, and Caiden couldn’t help but wonder who was calling Joan incessantly.
Larry? He walked over and glanced at the screen.
Finally, he picked up the phone.
“Hello, good morning,” Caiden greeted.
Upon hearing the unfamiliar yet familiar voice, Larry stilled for a moment.
Who’s that? Why does he sound familiar? Larry scratched the back of his head while deep in thought.
“Hello? Can I help you?” Caiden spoke again.
Didn’t she save my number in her contacts? Larry wondered.
“Who are you?” he asked directly.
How forgetful could you be? We just talked a few days ago, and you’ve already forgotten my voice?
Caiden cleared his throat and put on a serious facade.
“You must be looking for Joan. She’s gone out to buy some groceries. I’ll get her to call you when she comes back,” he said deliberately.
Larry suddenly felt like he was about to lose his mind.
He couldn’t quite believe what Caiden was telling him.
Joan dropped by his place? Why is she cooking for him? And why didn’t she tell me where she was going?
Larry couldn’t help but feel that something wasn’t right.
“Who are you?” he asked cautiously.
Caiden huffed with disdain.
“I’m Caiden Owens. Sorry, but I have something to take care of, so I’m hanging up. I’ll get Joan to…”
It’s him again! Larry’s gaze turned frosty. I knew he’s no ordinary guy. He’s starting to make his move. And that woman’s still acting like everything’s fine!
Caiden sat on the couch in the living room for a long time, casually flipping through a magazine. Meanwhile, Joan was exhausted from shopping for groceries. The woman didn’t know why she was buying so many groceries, but since she was already at the supermarket, she figured she would buy as many items as possible.
Thump!
“I’m back,” Joan called out as she returned.
“Goodness, Joan. Why did you buy so much stuff? It’s not like I’d be able to finish everything.” Caiden was visibly surprised.
No one else apart from Jaden had ever gotten him groceries along with some other necessities. Caiden felt warm and fuzzy on the inside as he watched the sight before him.
