A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1682

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1682

“It’s been a while since we last met.” Larry whispered into her ear, “Being apart from you makes me feel flurried and insecure… Joan, I’ve missed you so much.”

Joan rested her face on his shoulder. The smell exuding out of Larry’s body made her feel at ease. “Me too.”

“Well then… Between your work and me, which one takes precedence over the other?” Larry teased her.

Joan chuckled and replied, “You.”

Delighted, Larry put on a smug face and carried Joan onto his shoulders to give her a piggyback ride. “Then, let’s go!”

The blueprints on Joan’s table fell onto the ground as the two of them passed by. Joan pointed at the blueprints on the ground and yelled, “My blueprints!”

You said so yourself just now that I’m more important, remember? Now, get some rest. Nothing should come before your health. As for the blueprints, you can look at them tomorrow!”

Joan was left speechless. Larry then gave her a warm and gentle kiss on the forehead before murmuring, “Good night.”

With Larry sleeping beside her, Joan slept like a baby. It had been so long since she last had a good night sleep.

Larry even exhorted her to take a leave from work beforehand if she couldn’t wake up on time the next morning. He said that he’ll deal with the fine later.

After hearing that, Joan didn’t even bother setting up the alarm clock for the next morning.

That being said, her tranquil slumber was still cut off short the next morning. She was woken up by a sudden call.

“Hello, who’s this?”

“Joan? Do you realize what time is it now? You’re late for work.”

“Hello? Who exactly are you? Tell me now or I’ll just hang up the phone…”
