Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2092
What is she afraid of? Why would she have to lie if nothing actually happened between them?
“Joan.” The atmosphere tensed up as Larry walked toward her.
Does he already know? Joan glanced at him anxiously, trying to avoid his gaze.
“I have things to deal with at work, so I’ll be leaving now. I’ll leave Ms. Young to you.” The man left right after saying that.
Joan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Delilah watched the entire ordeal, clearly aware that Joan had lied.
Silly girl. You’re such a bad liar, but you chose to lie right at Larry’s face. It’s no wonder he’s mad!
“Did you really drop by Nancy’s place?” asked Delilah while drinking some milk.
“Huh? Yeah, I just got back from there,” Joan responded diffidently.
“Seriously… Why aren’t you telling the truth?” Delilah shook her head.
Joan felt awkward. That’s because I don’t want him to misunderstand me! But how did she know I was lying?
“You knew, Ms. Young?” Joan gazed at her, full of curiosity.
“Of course. Do you have any idea how many times Larry called you? He was so worried, and yet you still lied to him after coming back here. You went to Caiden’s place, didn’t you?” Delilah looked out the window in a slight daze.
Despite seeing Joan as her own daughter, the older woman spared no effort in pointing out anything she didn’t agree with.
So he does know. He just chose not to talk about it. Joan felt a little upset. Then, why didn’t he ask me about it instead? He wasn’t like this before.
“Well, if Larry didn’t bring it up, that means he still trusts you. Don’t overthink, but don’t do something like that again either. And what’s going on with Caiden, anyway? Why would he get you to cook for him…”
Delilah asked so many questions that Joan didn’t know where to begin. Even so, there was no denying that Joan was alive because Caiden had saved her. Otherwise, she would have been dead by now.
“Okay, Ms. Young, are you hungry? Let me cook something for you.” The woman walked straight into the kitchen.
Delilah wasn’t too pleased with her response, but she understood why the latter was behaving this way. Well, there are some things I don’t have to know–as long as she does. I’m sure she’s smart enough to make the right decisions.
Meanwhile, Lucius got along well with his classmates in school. Every child had dazzling smiles on their faces.
“Is everyone here?” asked the principal.
“Yes!” the students responded.
“I have good news for everyone. We’ll be having a field trip, and your parents will be coming along. It’s going to be a camping trip…” The principal announced excitedly. “Isn’t that great, children?”
Every teacher and student looked forward to such an event, and so did a large majority of parents. Many parents had requested this as it was a great way for them to bond with their children.
Yet, Lucius wasn’t too happy.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to take part in the field trip; it was just that Larry had always been busy with work while Joan had to look after Delilah. There was no way they could make time for such the boy’s school activities.
“What’s wrong, Lucius?” the homeroom teacher asked gently.
“I don’t think I’ll be able to join the camping trip,” Lucius explained.
The teacher felt stumped. It hadn’t been easy trying to organize such a trip; how could anyone pass up on it just like that?
“How about this? I’ll give your mother a call and talk to her about this, okay?” The teacher caressed the boy’s head.
