Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2453
Indeed, Jessica was over-occupied in recent days; thus, she had been neglecting Caspian lately. Apparently, Caspian could no longer stand it and started to blow off on her.
“That’s enough. You know better than me what kind of woman Jessica is. She expressed clearly when she agreed to be your girlfriend that her focus would be on her career. And you promised that you would help her with that. Now, how will you be able to help her with all these negative emotions?” Joan cut him with a frown.
Since you have known everything about her, you should accept them. Isn’t this what love is all about? To tolerate each other and try to be in the other’s shoes. That’s the only way to build a stable relationship, and both of you can get along better. If I behave like you, without a doubt, I would have long broken up with Larry.
“Even though that’s true, I still wish we could have a little quality time together.” Caspian looked utterly dispirited.
“Hahaha!” Joan failed to suppress her laughter.
Since when did you become such a clingy man? You used to be tough and masculine, without a single sense of romance. But look at you now. I bet you must have fallen for her deeply.
“Wait and see. I’m sure she will come to find you as soon as she finishes her work.” Joan patted his shoulder while trying to comfort him.
Nonetheless, sometimes a man could behave like a kid. Actually, there is no harm to coax in front of the woman he loves occasionally. In fact, women dig that. Right at that moment, Joan suddenly thought of Larry. It’s been so long since he came to find me. He must be worn out at work.
“Joan, when you started dating with Larry, was it like this too?” Caspian stared at her earnestly, anticipating her answer.
Surely, all relationships will sail through tribulations and difficulties. Sometimes they come from people around us, while sometimes, they come from within the couple. Nevertheless, the secret is to keep an easy mind.
“Of course. Larry and I have been through a lot. He has a successful career, and he is always busy. But I understand that, plus he tried his best to take care of my feelings,” Joan responded honestly.
Realization instantly hit Caspian. It seemed that I have been overthinking. In other words, I have been selfish. Even though Jessica is not exactly a workaholic, she is a woman with ambition. I should be caring for her and protecting her instead of creating unnecessary troubles that distract her.
“Okay, I think I got it. Thanks, Joan.” Upon saying that, he rushed out.
What a cute man! Joan’s lips curled into a contented smile as she stared at Caspian’s back figure vanishing into the air.
Just then, her phone rang beside her. She immediately picked it up and turned to speaker mode.
“How are you?” A man’s voice echoed from the phone.
A simple three-word phrase was sufficient to warm her heart to the fullest.
“Yup, everything’s fine. How about you?” Joan asked caringly.
“I’m fine. But I am swamped these few days, so I can’t go back yet…” Larry said hesitatingly.
“Don’t worry. I understand. You just go on and focus on your work. Everything’s great at home.”
Larry let out a sigh of relief after hearing Joan’s lovely voice.
Joan was fully aware of the current incidents within Norton Corporation, so she refused to give Larry any extra burden. If it were before, she would seek Larry’s opinion in almost every decision around the house. But now, she tried to reduce Larry’s worries as much as she could.
The two of them continued to exchange a few words before they hung up.
Joan lifted her head and stared at the cotton-gauze-shaped clouds in the sky, while her face displayed a faint smile.
After all that she had gone through, she came to realize that a peaceful though dull life was indeed the best life. It was indeed a blessing without having to worry about sudden ups and downs in life.
“Joan!” To her surprise, a familiar male voice emerged from behind.
A chill went up her spine and she hesitated to turn her face towards him. How she wished she could ignore him and leave just like that. But the second she lifted her foot, that man appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
