Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2666

Such Is Life

Instantly, Joan had her guard up.

That's true. Why does she keep picking on me? It's not necessary to behave this way if it was merely

for Dustin.

“Try to think about it.” Dustin carried on asking.

Joan sat down on the sofa, tilting her head and thinking for a long time. However, she couldn't

come to any conclusion.

“Forget it! Why am I stressing myself over this?” Joan waved her hands and went back to work.

“Are you planning to stay here permanently?” Dustin glanced at the surroundings and queried.

Joan had just rented the house, but Dustin had no idea how long did she rent it. Judging by the

effort Joan had put into the house, it was definitely not a short-term rental.

“I'm not sure. It depends.” Joan answered.

The future was uncertain. Nobody would really know what was going to happen next, or who she

was going to meet. Therefore, she could only enjoy and live in the moment.

Who knows? Perhaps, Jake will let go of the past soon. Perhaps, he might really hate me for the rest

of his life. Joan let out a sigh, mopping the floor.

Such is life. It's always full of ups and downs. Joan was used to it and willing to accept everything as

it was. Deep down, she knew that it was useless to complain or blame others.

"How about you?” Joan suddenly stopped her work, asking while wiping the sweat off her forehead.

“I'm going back tomorrow,” Dustin answered. He was reluctant to leave her.

In fact, Dustin just wanted to send Abelyn back in order to prevent her from giving Joan hard times.

“Oh,” Joan responded in acknowledgment and carried on with her work again.

“I might be coming back again.” Dustin suddenly said

Joan paused for a second. Out of curiosity, she slowly raised her head.

"Why are you coming back for?” Joan asked.

“I'm coming back for you! I'm worried about leaving you here alone.”

Reading between the lines, it seemed that Dustin was trying to express something else besides

showing his concern to Joan. She then turned her face and looked away.

"What are you worried about? I'm eating well and having a good time. Honestly, I'm living a good

life here. So, you don't have to worry about me.” Joan responded almost immediately.

She definitely didn't want people to gossip about her.

“I'm scared that you will be bullied by other people.” Dustin continued.

Joan snorted coldly. So what if she was bullied? It couldn't be worse than what she had been

through back in her own country.

“That's fine, Dustin. You better head back and take good care of Abelyn. She needs you to care for

her. In the future, both of you must be happy together. You have my blessing!” Joan turned around

and looked at him, with a serious look on her face.

What does she mean? Why is she saying that? Obviously, Abelyn and I are just good friends! It must

be some misunderstanding!

Dustin slowly walked towards Joan, with a stern expression on his face.

"Joan, let me tell you. Abelyn and I are just friends. She is my good buddy.” Dustin stated firmly. He

was afraid that Joan wouldn't believe him.

Upon hearing that, Joan was stunned.

"About the relationship between you and Abelyn, I think you both know best. And I don't want to

know either. Anyway, just stay away from me in the future.” Joan replied straightforwardly.

It was not her intention to hurt Dustin. However, if she didn't speak harshly, he wouldn't get over

her.

“Do you have to be so heartless?” Dustin asked.

“Yes, I have to. I'm a cruel and wicked woman!”

Bang!

Dustin slammed the door and left.

All this while, he had been doing anything and everything silently for her and protecting her. In the

end, that was all he got in exchange.

Joan had never given him any chance. Apart from that, she had never treated him as someone she

loved, even if it was just for a moment.

Dustin sniffed and lowered his head. Then, he slowly walked away.

Dustin, I'm sorry. I can't accept your love for me!

Joan was standing in front of the window as she watched Dustin left, with a glint of sadness in her

eyes.
