Never Late, Never Away

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2062

Joan had acquiesced partly also due to her instinctive feeling that Caiden harbored no ill intentions. Besides, they had been schoolmates once, after all. It was the latter fact that made Joan feel a sense of shared intimacy with Caiden. Even now, he was proving himself to be a considerate, well-mannered fellow.

“Can’t you tell me?” Caiden suddenly continued, picking up from where they had left off before the conversation had unraveled.

Joan hesitated. The expression on her face, however, softened gradually.

A million thoughts raced through her mind. Where do I begin? Joan reflected. Everything had begun ages before Caiden had even stepped into the picture. There was no use in involving Caiden in matters irrelevant to him. Besides, Joan was afraid that if she revealed the whole truth to Caiden, it might even trigger his anger towards her.

It would be far better to keep Caiden in the dark and maintain the status quo. Joan thus said nothing in response.

“All right. Even if you refuse to tell me anything, I’ll find out on my own,” Caiden declared, undaunted.

Why is he so interested in finding out? Joan thought in alarm. There was no discernible relationship between Caiden and Joan that reasonably compelled that level of investment on time and energy. This moment of closeness had been due more to coincidence than any lasting affection, or so Joan thought.

“What do you want to find out?” Joan pressed urgently.
