A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1486

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1486

Just as Finnick spoke, he looked at Joan. “Joan, next time, come by our place whenever you are . Since Larry is staying by himself outside, you can remind him to come home more often.”

“I understand, Mr. Norton. I definitely will,” Joan replied with a smile.

“Vivian and I have never interfered in Larry’s relationships. As you are the first girl he has brought home, it must mean that he fancies you a lot. We are equally happy to meet you too. Both of you should try your best to be happy together and take care of each other,” Finnick advised in a serious manner.

As his words resonated with Joan’s feelings, she replied immediately, “We will try our best to be happy. Don’t worry, Mr. Norton.”

After that, Joan chatted with Vivian about random topics while Larry talked to Finnick about other matters. Before they knew it, night had already fallen.

When it was time for dinner, Vivian invited Joan to sit beside her. After that, she took a bracelet off her wrist.

“Joan, this bracelet used to belong to Larry’s grandma. In other words, my mother-in-law handed it to me. And now, I’m giving it to you. Both you and Larry must strive to always be happy. Whatever problems you may encounter, you have to face them together, alright?”

Joan was surprised at how warm Vivian was to her. She didn’t expect Vivian to shower her with such attention on their very first meeting, to the extent of giving her a family heirloom.

She quickly stood up and replied, “Mrs. Norton, this gift is simply too valuable for me to accept. Larry and I will be happy together. But this is something I don’t deserve to have yet.”

“As long as I say you deserve it then you do.”

Vivian had expected Joan to refuse. “Joan, it’s obvious to me that both of you love each other dearly. It’s just a matter of time before the two of you are married. With that in mind, there’s nothing wrong with me giving this to you ahead of time. Besides, are you really going to turn down the first present I’m giving you?”

“But…”

Before Joan could say anything further, Larry interrupted. “Joan, just take it. My mom really likes you. If you refuse, you will only upset her.”

After giving it much consideration, Joan finally accepted the bracelet with both her hands. “Mr. Norton, Mrs. Norton, I will treasure this bracelet more than my own life. And I will also do my best to protect the relationship I share with Larry so that you will not be disappointed.”
