A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2131

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2131

Larry wouldn’t harm Jessica, but the same couldn’t be said for her father.

After returning home that night, Jessica sat on the sofa in the living room with a pensive look sprawled on her face.

If Larry is serious about this, Dad will really be in trouble. Her eyes glinted coldly at the thought. She immediately fished out her phone to call her father.

“Dad, I just met that guy Larry. You should hide. He’s looking for you.” Worry laced her voice.

“Jessica, why are you so stubborn? Didn’t I tell you not to come back? Anyway, don’t worry. He can’t find me. He doesn’t even know where I am. How can he find my whereabouts? Even if he can, it’s going to take him some time, but you…” The person on the other line sounded anxious as he trailed off.

Jessica let out a sigh. “Don’t worry about me, Dad. As long as you’re all okay, everything will be fine on my end.”

The two chatted for a while before ending the call. Full of confidence again after speaking to her father, Jessica walked to the windows with a spring in her step. As she gazed at the stars in the dark sky, she began fantasizing about her future with Larry.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the windows and warmed the room. The woman on the bed turned over and reached out, only to find the space next to her empty again.

He still hasn’t come home. Joan sighed sadly.

Suddenly, Lucius’ voice rang loudly, interrupting her thoughts, “Mom, I’m going to be late. Can you send me to school?”

Joan bolted upright in bed and hastily threw on some clothes. Without even applying makeup, she dashed over to Lucius’ room.

“Mom, I overslept today.” The boy peered at the woman with pitiful eyes.

It’s all Caiden’s fault. He insisted on staying here till late last night to play games with Lucius. And now, Lucius is going to be late for school.

“Have you packed your stuff, Lucius? I’ll send you to school.” Outside the door, a familiar male voice reached their ears.

What the hell? Didn’t he go home last night? Why is he here again today? Joan quickly rushed out. Surprise flashed across her face when she saw the man at the door.
