A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2178

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2178

Jessica noticed that her father did not treat her as a daughter. Instead, she was regarded as a friend or even a peer. It may have been strange, but Jessica admitted that the dynamic did lead to them both having a good relationship.

“Do you think something has happened to your father?” Larry had blurted the question out of nowhere.

In an instant, Jessica raised her head and looked at him angrily.

“Excuse me? More like something has happened to your dad instead. Mine has only gone abroad for a while, so how could something have happened? What are you implying?” She glared fiercely at him, clearly angered at the insinuation that some misfortune had befallen her father.

Larry was a little startled by her outburst. After all, he had merely been reminding her. Besides, she had been unable to reach him for some time now, even though she made two calls. It was not too far-fetched to assume that something had happened. This is your father, Jessica. Not some friend.

“Alright, I’ll drop it. You seem to be alright now, I think? Why don’t we call Caspian and grab a bite together?” suggested Larry in a low voice.

“I don’t want to!” shouted Jessica abruptly.

What the hell is wrong with her now? Why does her temper flare like that without warning? Is she seriously expecting me to abandon my brother in arms just because she threw a little tantrum?

‘Alright, alright. Stop fussing. Hurry up, pull yourself together, and we’ll go and eat.” Larry pursed his lip, his expression a little unhappy.

He had never been the type to fuss over or wheedle about with women. To him, things were black and white. There was no need to fuss over something so minor. Larry was already exhausted enough dealing with situations at work and could not be bothered to entertain such trivial notions.

“I just don’t want to see Caspian! When he left, I told him how scared I was, but he never listened! He left me there all alone!”

But had Caspian not clarified that it was an accident? Accidents happen all the time! I really don’t know what is wrong with this woman.

“Caspian has already apologized! I think you should just let things slide. Besides, he also mentioned being in a foul mood at the time,” said Larry assuringly.

If a man is in a bad mood, he can just abandon a defenseless woman? Where’s the logic in that? And if he gets married and things go sour, is he going to abandon his wife too? Wow, this guy is straight-up trash.

“Furthermore, you are not his girlfriend or his wife. What obligation does he have to care for you anyway?”

Jessica trembled at the notion.
