A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1500

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1500

Although Larry felt confident, there was still no saying if Joan’s parents would approve of him.

Nevertheless, he plastered on a calm and collected expression, lest Joan mocks him.

The rest of the two-hour drive went by swiftly. Larry had been to her parent’s place before, so he navigated the road well.

“Mom, Dad, I’m home!” Joan announced out of habit.

“Joan! You’re back.” Mrs. Watts came to greet her.

Seconds after, Mr. Watts paced out of his study and approached them too.

Mrs. Watts beamed brightly, but her smile faltered when she saw Larry standing next to Joan.

“Joan! Why didn’t you tell me that you would be bringing a guest?” Mrs. Watts’ panicked gaze darted back to her daughter. “I didn’t prepare any refreshments or snacks!”

“Mom, it’s fine. He’s not some outsider,” Joan giggled.

Not some outsider? Mrs. Watts stilled. Does that mean… he’s her boyfriend?

The thought of this straightened Mrs. Watts’ back. She then eyed Larry from top to bottom.

Not bad. Not bad at all. An approving smile grew on Mrs. Watts’ face as she scanned every inch of Larry’s appearance. He was tall and handsome, yet elegant and well-composed at the same time. All of this won Mrs. Watts over.

Once both her parents had gathered before them, Joan announced proudly, “Mom, Dad. This is my boyfriend—Larry Norton.”

Larry took the chance to step forward and give a slight bow. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Watts.”

We’ve met before, Mr. Watts. Larry couldn’t help but wonder if the man remembered him as well.

Mr. Watts briefly smiled in acknowledgment of Larry’s greeting. Unbeknownst to Larry, Mr. Watts did remember him.

Joan’s boyfriend, huh? I’ll be the judge of whether he’s worthy enough to be with my daughter.

It wasn’t a lie when people say that fathers are their daughters’ first love. Mr. Watts had always spoiled Joan, and even to this point, he wanted the very best man for his daughter. So he examined Larry’s every move and every breath with extreme prejudice.

“Alright now,” Mrs. Watts said. She wasn’t as fussy as her husband when it comes to Larry’s worth. All she knew was that she really liked this well-behaved young man and approved him as her future son-in-law.
