A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2259

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2259

Joan had once told Dustin to go overseas to pursue his dreams, but he insisted on staying back, claiming to be a patriot.

Despite knowing that he only wanted to keep her company, she refused to overthink their relationship. She believed that Dustin would soon meet an ideal woman who was more compatible with him than she was.

“What’s so weird? It’s just that we get on really well. Speaking of which, I’m indebted to him,” Joan replied softly.

“Joan, if you had never met Larry, or if you met Dustin first, would you choose to be with Dustin instead?” the store owner asked.

To Joan, this was a meaningless question – it would never happen anyways. If given a choice, she would rather not meet Larry at all.

“Let’s say you never met your late wife. What would you do?” she questioned him in return.

Immediately, he chuckled and averted his gaze.

“Dad, this is for you. Joan, this is yours.” The store owner’s daughter came and handed them a few lamb skewers.

“I never once regretted meeting her. She’s the best thing I could ever have,” the store owner answered, looking at his daughter.

With a contented expression, Joan gave him a smile.

This is how life is, full of twists and turns, ups and downs. Misfortunes didn’t last forever and would vanish one day.

“Joan.” Dustin ran up to her.

Standing up, the store owner murmured, “I’ll give you guys some space.”

“How are you doing? Are you feeling better now?” Dustin squatted beside her, asking with much concern.

“Mmm, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Joan flashed him a smile.

It’s alright. Every cloud has a silver lining. Things seem more positive now since I’ve thought it through. My conscience is clear when it comes to both my friendship and love.

“Dustin, let me give you a toast.” With that, Joan raised her bottle of beer.

It seems like her mood has lifted. The man’s lips twitched up into a satisfied smile.

“Let’s drink till we’re drunk!”
