A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2314

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2314

“What? Oh, it’s nothing. Ms. Young, you’re back,” Joan answered.

“Yeah. I feel a bit tired today, so I came back early.” Delilah put down her things on the chair. “How are you and Larry lately? Have you two reconciled?”

He’s been angry with me for quite a long time.

Joan sighed at the thought and replied, “No. I’ll wait for some time first. After he has calmed down, I’ll try to talk it out with him.”

What a silly girl. By the time he is no longer upset, he will be long gone.

Delilah shook her head. “You’re such an overthinker, Joan. You can talk to him directly. Men shouldn’t be too petty. As long as you explain the situation to him nicely, I’m sure he will understand. But if you keep dragging it on, problems will come sooner or later.”

Young people are often told to learn from the older generations, who have experiential knowledge of just about every problem a person might encounter. Therefore, Delilah’s sage advice should serve as a guide for Joan.

However, Joan brushed it aside as she cared more about how Larry would feel; she did not want to infuriate him for the time being. Little did she know that doing so actually enraged him even more.

Suddenly, Lucius came to them and interrupted their conversation. “Grandma, look. I’ve got a hibiscus today.”

Thus, the topic was dropped.

Meanwhile, in Larry’s office, Jessica slumped onto the couch and grumbled, “No, wait. What happened? Are you sure, Larry? Your partner should be Joan, not me. I want to bring along my own date.”

In fact, she was planning to bring Caspian to the event for him to learn a thing or two, but now Larry had messed up her plan.

Larry had actually come to this decision only after a long moment of hesitation. Besides, he had informed Caspian about it as well.

“Caspian is not going. I don’t think you can find anyone else other than me, so you will be going with me.” Larry challenged her.

What? Who said so? Did he coax Caspian into not going to the banquet? How could he do that? He’s so mean! Previously, he was the one who encouraged me to be Caspian’s girlfriend, but now he is trying to break us up? It’s despicable to ruin other people’s relationships!

With such thought in mind, Jessica deliberately said, “Who said I couldn’t find a date? Anyway, I won’t be going with you. You should find Joan.”
