A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1636

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1636

In contrast to Caspian, Nancy was different. She was about Joan’s age and had sincerely wished them happiness during the wedding. With that thought in mind, Joan gave Nancy a call.

“Hello, Joan?”

Before she could say a word, Nancy’s voice rang out over the line. As if she was grasping desperately for a lifeline, Joan responded in anticipation, “Yes, it’s me!”

“Joan, I know why you’re calling me. But I don’t know how to explain this to you. I can only tell you that when you and Mr. Silverman were dining at the restaurant, Caspian and I happened to be there. However, he didn’t tell Larry about it.”

“But yesterday, when Larry came to see Caspian, asking him to investigate the matter, I noticed how conflicted Caspian looked. Hence, he would likely have told Larry about it.”

After Nancy finished her long explanation, both of them fell silent.

While Joan was trying her best to dissect Nancy’s words, the occasional honk from the busy traffic disrupted her thoughts.

“Joan, who is… Dustin?” Nancy asked bluntly as she wasn’t a sensitive person.

Despite her best efforts at trying to sound calm, Joan replied with a trembling voice, “Nancy, wh-what do you mean?”

When Nancy heard the anxiety in Joan’s voice, she began to panic and desperately explain herself, “No… It’s not that, Joan, I don’t mean it that way. I… I was just asking. I have faith in you, but…”

“He is just a friend. When you saw me that day, I was on the phone with Larry. I wanted to tell him who I was dining with. However, he was just too busy and assumed I was meeting another female friend. Before I had the opportunity to explain, he ended the call. I didn’t lie to him!”
