A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1673

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1673

During the lunch break, Gabriella simply spread out a piece of newspaper on the ground and sat there while hugging her knees. As the weather was growing increasingly hot, she opened a big plastic umbrella that had the words “Cola-Cola” printed on it and placed it beside her.

At this time, a man in his early twenties sauntered up to her fruit stall. He looked very much like a ruffian with a black baseball cap on his head. While the style of the cap was very simple, someone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that it was a luxury accessory of the upper-classes at a single glance.

Dipping his head, the man glanced at Gabriella, who had no image to speak of, before snagging an apple from her stall and started tossing it.

As the red apple was tossed back and forth between his hands, the sound of it hitting his palm had Gabriella jerking her head up to meet the man’s gaze.

“Put it down at once if you’re not going to buy it!” she roared at him.

The corners of Jory’s mouth curved into a flippant smile. “It’s just an apple. Even if you sell it, how much money would you make?”

Upon hearing that, Gabriella saw red. “Give it back to me!” After saying that, her hand shot out to snatch it back from his hand.

However, Jory dodged her hand with a nimble swivel and tossed the apple even higher. “I wonder if Landon Ward would feel that all his pride throughout the past fifty years and counting is all but obliterated if he were to learn that his biological daughter is selling fruits by the roadside.”
