A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1775

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1775

The longer Nancy allowed the matter to drag on, the higher the chances of it blowing up, not to mention that Caspian was already aware of Jory’s presence. Besides, everyone knew about Nancy’s temperament. There was no way she could resist seeing Jory. If Caspian found out, she would not be able to get away with just an explanation anymore.

“Joan, why don’t you help me persuade Caspian…”

“Come over for dinner today,” Simon ordered authoritatively.

“Dad, what are you doing? I still have an appointment…” Nancy was holding Jory’s picture and staring at it with a smile.

“No, you must come home!” With that, Simon ended the call.

Appointment? She must definitely be going to see Jory. The thought of Jory alone caused Simon’s blood to boil. He wondered what had gotten into Nancy to no longer love Caspian who was so devoted to her. Instead, she just had to choose someone like Jory.

In a blink of an eye, Simon looked a lot older.

“Hello, Caspian? Are you free tonight? If you are, why don’t you come over for dinner?” Simon spoke genially over the phone.

Ever since he found out about Nancy’s change of heart in favor of Jory, Simon felt sorry for Caspian. Despite men’s inherent instinct to compete with one another, they were in the best position to understand one another. As a man, Simon could imagine what would go through Caspian’s mind the moment he found out about Nancy’s relationship with Jory.

As tonight’s dinner might be the last one shared by the three of them, Simon’s eyes were filled with sadness.

Although Caspian wasn’t smart and didn’t know how to be romantic, it was undeniable that he was someone who loved his wife to bits. It was just that fate was unkind to him.

“Oh Dad, what are you up to? Why must you insist I come home for dinner? Can’t we have it any other night? Why does it have to be tonight?” Nancy grumbled the moment she entered the dining room.

“Nancy, I’m here.” Before she could finish, she heard Caspian greeting her enthusiastically.
