A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1545

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1545

“How many times do I have to tell you? You must be quick and precise when it comes to dealing with enemies! Any form of mercy for the enemy is cruelty to yourself! If you had given in your all since the beginning, you wouldn’t have been shot!” thundered Larry. Needless to say, Caspian’s injury did not sit well with him.

Caspian lowered his head as Larry continued to yell at him like a kid being punished, not saying anything to retaliate.

“Oh Larry, stop scolding Caspian. If it wasn’t for him, we could have still been held hostage at gunpoint!” Joan interrupted, unable to withstand Larry’s unfair lectures at Caspian any further.

“If he hadn’t underestimated the enemy, he wouldn’t be in this position! He can’t even carry out such a simple thing with perfection, how more stupid can he be?”

Larry did not stop ranting, refusing to drop the subject. However, it was Joan who didn’t realize the pain behind his anger.

“But…”

Joan opened her mouth to refute but was interrupted by Caspian.

“Thank you for defending me Ma’am, but Boss was right. It’s all my fault. I had underestimated the enemy. I apologize, Boss.”

Hearing Caspian’s apology, Larry softened his gaze and stopped reprimanding him.

“Stay here, I’ll go grab the first aid kit in the car.”

Though he spoke in a disapproving tone, even Joan could hear the concern in Larry’s voice this time.

As Larry brisk walked to the car, a lump formed in Caspian’s throat as he sniffed.

Boss really is still the same person from years ago. He hasn’t changed a bit, still the same strict and serious boss that’ll lose his temper over something trivial.

Even so, Caspian knew that none of their best mates would blame Larry for that, because everyone knows Larry cared for them the most, even when he never showed it. After all, Larry being stern with them was for their lives’ sake!

Reminiscing those years together, Caspian sighed, overcome with mixed emotions.
