A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2309

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2309

“What’s the matter, though? What happened between the two of you?” Jessica asked out of concern.

In the past, when Jessica relentlessly wooed Larry, fights between him and Joan were not uncommon. However, Jessica was now over Larry. Shouldn’t the two of them have made up?

“It’s nothing. Why is a girl like you so nosy anyway?”

Jessica took offense at his remark and stood up in a huff.

“Excuse me, Larry. I’m no longer a girl! Look at me. I’m a woman! A mature, smart, and beautiful woman!”

Upon hearing her, Larry couldn’t control himself and spat out his sandwich.

A coughing fit ensued as he choked on some remnants of his food.

“Must you overreact?” she scolded.

Unbeknownst to them, Caspian had been observing them from outside the office. He felt a twinge of disappointment when he saw the interaction between them.

Recently, Jessica had been treating him unusually well and Caspian thought he might finally have a chance with her. But after what he had just seen, he started to have second thoughts.

“Stop playing. I’m busy! Hurry and clean this up,” Larry hollered in displeasure.

“Fine. I was just kidding, all right? You don’t have to be so petty.”

Larry shook his head as he stared at her. Jessica was good in many ways, but she could be so wilful at times.

But since he had accepted her as his godsister, he was willing to overlook it.

“Caspian? What are you standing there for? Come in, come in! There’s breakfast here. Would you like to have some?” Jessica beckoned for Caspian to enter the office once she saw him lurking outside.

Busted. Caspian was overcome with embarrassment in that instance. He did not want to go in but it would be rude if he were to walk away. After a few seconds of contemplation, he finally went in reluctantly.

“Larry, Joan has left,” Caspian said hesitantly.

Larry only hummed in response.

His apathetic reaction only made Caspian wonder if he had completely given up on Joan.
