A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2224

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2224

They consider me an arrogant youngster who can’t do much, yet they’re the ones who can’t contribute at all!

Once Larry picked up the call, Caspian voice could be heard asking anxiously, “Larry, what happened? Did the shareholders give you a hard time again? Do you need me to come over?”

Larry massaged his temples and replied in a hushed voice, “How did you know about this? It’s not a big deal. I have everything under control. They won’t try anything reckless anymore.”

He was grateful to have Caspian by his side back in the day when the shareholders were up to no good. If it weren’t because of Caspian, he might not have made it through the challenges.

As soon as Larry sorted out everything, he rushed over to the hotel.

Once he saw Jessica, he asked, “Hey, how are you feeling?”

She replied in a courteous manner, “I guess I’m doing fine. Thank you so much for everything yesterday.”

It was about time for her to snap out of her imagination and face the truth after lying to herself for such a long time.

“Can you please make a trip with me? I need to bring my late parents’ remains back with me.”

When Larry heard the request she brought up, he found it odd. Why is she asking me to tag along with her to bring her parents back? It’s quite inappropriate since I’m a married man.

With that, Larry turned her down outright, “Jessica, I’m afraid that’s impossible because I have a lot of things to deal with in the company. I’ll get Caspian to go with you instead.”

He couldn’t bear to have her make the trip alone either. After all, there wasn’t anyone else she could rely on.

“If that’s the case, it’s fine. You should tend to the things you have on your plate. I’ll make my way there on my own.”

Afraid that something bad would happen to Caspian, she turned him down without a second thought. After all, she was the reason he was hurt.

On top of that, she once rejected him when he confessed the affection he had for her.

Staying true to herself had always been her core value. Thus, she was determined to stay away from Caspian since she was in love with another man. Although she knew that Larry might not fall for her, she couldn’t lie to herself because he was the only one she had in mind. Therefore, she couldn’t possibly accept Caspian into her life.
