Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2316
"Yeah. I see that you've done plenty of research as well.â
As the reporters continued to question Caiden, Larry and Jessica heard the ruckus and came to
watch from the side. âWhat's going on?â Jessica asked, staring at the entrance in shock.
Larry had a murderous look in his eyes. D*mn it! Why is she here with him?
Seeing the livid expression on his face, Jessica felt scared and backed away subconsciously.
She knew Larry too well. He never liked anyone taking away his possessions, especially his woman.
Sh*t! Is he going to make a scene? She turned fearful.
âIs she your girlfriend?â
âYour girlfriend is so beautiful!â
A few reporters suddenly chimed in, and everyone in the room froze.
All the people who lived in this city knew that the woman beside Caiden was Larry's wife. Needless
to say, these journalists were hired by Caiden to say those remarks on purpose.
âYou must have mistaken me. I'm not his girlfriend,â Joan responded immediately.
"Yeah. Even though we're not a couple now, it doesnât mean that we won't be in a relationship in the
future,â Caiden added.
What the hell? His statement had Joan's eyes narrowed in displeasure.
âPlease excuse us. My partner is hungry; I'll have to take her to have some food first.â He then
grabbed her hand and headed away.
The crowd gradually dispersed with the departure of Caiden but gossips about both of them started
to spread in the banquet hall.
âIs she not Larry Norton's wife? Why is she here with Caiden Owens instead?â
âI don't know. Look, even Larry Norton has another woman beside him.â
"Yeah. What happened between them?â
âAre they divorced?â
It was not only the women who were tittle-tattling about Larry and Joan, but the men who normally
did not pay much attention to rumors also started to chat about it.
âLarry, you need to go to your wife now. Don't let her get taken away by somebody else,â Jessica
prompted.
But Larry refused to move. He glanced around and took no notice of her words.
It was a lively banquet. As time went on, the crowd got denser and things started to get rowdy.
Nevertheless, everyone seemed excited to be there. Many young women were observing eligible
bachelors in the hope of finding potential partners, but the men here were focused mainly on
business opportunities rather than romantic attachments.
Jessica nudged Larry with her elbow, snapping him out of his trance. âHey, are you really not going
to find her?â
But before she could say more, Larry wrapped his arm around her waist abruptly and went toward
Joan and Caiden.
When he saw both of them looking over, he hugged Jessica's waist even tighter and smiled. âWhat a
coincidence.â
Joan was at a loss of words. Looking at her husband in front of her, she did not know how to explain
why she was here with Caiden.
But, how about him? Why is Jessica with him? Joan eyed Jessica suspiciously.
I thought that Larry would not come tonight because he has never asked me to accompany him to
this event. But here he is, standing right in front of me with another woman in his arm. How ironic!
We're a married couple but we're not each other's partner here at this event. This must have made
us the laughing stock tonight.
âMr. Norton, may I offer you a toast?â Caiden took a glass of wine and handed it to Larry.
Larry looked at him and hesitated for a while before taking it over ultimately and took a sip. âMr.
Owens, what do you think of my wife?â
His question stunned all of them, especially Jessica.
What kind of question is that? She is his own wife! Why did he ask Caiden such a weird question?
