A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1720

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1720

Seeing past his sharp tongue and big-headedness, Nancy could see herself being the best of friends with him.

After all, there were not many people that could tie with her when it came to Taekwondo. Jory was the first. So how can I not feel empathy for such a well-matched and gentlemanly opponent?

However, there was no need for her to question whether those past rumors about Jory’s reputation were true. She didn’t need to know because she was already married to Caspian. Thus, she told herself to forget about this could-have-been fiancé from long ago.

Plus, Jory had admitted that he was the mysterious S. So there was no telling if he was the saboteur behind her friend’s company as well. Nancy reminded herself that she should keep her guard up around such a man, no matter if she did or did not have conflicted feelings for him.

Oddly enough, she couldn’t bring herself to be vigilant, let alone resist him. There was a special feeling that fluttered inside her every time she met up with Jory. This upset her greatly. She scorned herself for acting like an unfaithful wife and behaving as if the grass was greener on the other side.

But then again, she had no reason to feel so guilty as there was truthfully nothing going on between her and Jory. Yet, she couldn’t help but have a guilty conscience every time she thought about Caspian. The guilt had haunted her. It lingered at the back of her mind ever since she bumped into Jory.

Elsewhere, Joan took a striped necktie from the shelf in her closet. She then turned to look at Larry, who was scrolling through the latest news on his phone whilst sitting on the sofa.

“Are you really going to meet with Alpire Group’s chairman?” Joan asked. Her hair cascaded casually onto her shoulders, giving her a laid-back appearance from waking up early. Despite this, the dark bags under her eyes revealed that she clearly hadn’t slept well for some time.
