A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2280

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2280

If this were any other time, he would have pushed her away without thinking twice. He just couldn’t bring himself to do so knowing that Jessica had just lost both her parents recently.

“How are things between you and Joan?” Jessica brought it up during the drive. “I heard she moved out of the house.”

The feelings she harbored towards Larry were purely platonic—it had nothing to do with lust, love, or even admiration.

“I’m just letting whatever happens, happen,” Larry slowly replied. “I’ve been busy, anyway.”

Looks like things aren’t going well. Jessica gave the man beside her a sidelong glance.

“What do you think I can do so that Joan will come back to you?”

“What do you have in mind?” Larry instantly shot back. If Jessica got into trouble again, he doubted that Joan would spare him a glance ever again. “Just don’t do anything, and that’s the best way to resolve the problem.”

“Um… What I meant to say was what if we changed our relationship? Would that improve the situation?” Jessica inquired.

What does she mean? Change our relationship to what?

“We could be like godsiblings or something!”

Larry stared at her, the gears in his brain grinding to a halt.

Huh? Did she hit her head? Is she high on something? Where did that come from?

“Don’t tell me that you secretly enjoy the feeling of me pursuing your affections?” Jessica raised an eyebrow.

Bullsh*t! What the hell is she thinking!

“Enjoy? It is more like being tortured!”

Geez, you don’t have to go that far… Jessica pouted. It wasn’t as if she’d done anything horrible to Joan. If she were an evil, scheming woman, she would have gone after Joan with an axe a long time ago!
