A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2243

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2243

As Larry stared at her retreating figure, a sense of guilt seeped into his heart.

He knew Jessica had been upset about her parents’ matter recently, but he had also thought she knew what he felt about her.

All she was to him was a friend. To make sure she knew about it, he had put on an act with Joan.

“Okay, she’s gone now, so drop the act,” Joan muttered as she pushed his arm.

Hm? How did she find out I was only acting? Larry raised a curious brow at her.

“Do you really think I’m a fool who can’t see through your tricks? Please. It was elementary,” Joan huffed.

However, in the beginning, Joan was fooled. She had been wondering what had gotten into the man, but when she saw the food in Jessica’s hands, she figured it out immediately.

“That’s great. My wife’s smarter now,” Larry cooed.

Huh? Does he know what he’s talking about? I have brains from the start, thank you.

“Hush, you. Although my brain short circuits sometimes, I know how to observe,” Joan mumbled under her breath.

And you’re good at it, Larry thought.

“Honey.”

Larry suddenly hugged her from behind and kissed her hair.

“Larry, please remember that we’re in the office. Stop messing around. You know you’ve got to establish a good image, right?” Joan reminded as she peeked outside.

“What image do I need when you’re with me?” As he spoke, he carried her up and sat on the couch.

“Stop it and put me down. Quick! It’ll be bad if someone sees us!” Joan cried out as she smacked his arm.

What’s bad about it? We’re a married couple. What’s wrong with being intimate once in a while? She’s overthinking it.

“I won’t,” he rejected. “Not unless you kiss me.”

Promptly, Joan blushed.
