A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2372

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2372

Is she trying to say that she has another man by her side and doesn’t need me anymore? Larry’s grip on his phone tightened, and the temperature of the air around him plummeted.

“What? We’ve only just divorced but you’re already looking for a new target?” Larry fumed.

He’s being unreasonable! Not wanting to waste her breath on him, Joan hung up the call directly.

“What’s wrong?” Jake asked concernedly when he noticed the anger lining her features.

“It’s nothing. Anyway, where were we?” She wasn’t going to let Larry ruin her good mood.

Not far away, a trace of worry peeked from Abigail’s eyes as she watched this scene. Is it really that difficult to coax a woman, Larry? After a while, she shook her head in resignation and walked away.

The next day, Joan and Jake went to the same place to chat again. Halfway into their conversation, Jake paused, as if in a dilemma. Finally, he asked cautiously, ”Was that your boyfriend who called you yesterday?”

Joan hesitated for a split second before denying, “No.”

He really isn’t my boyfriend. Why should I feel guilty? She mentally reassured herself.

“Actually, I don’t have a girlfriend either,” Jake abruptly confessed with a bashful look on his face.

Why did he suddenly bring this topic up? Embarrassed, Joan fidgeted slightly.

“When are you getting discharged? You seem to have fully recovered,” she deliberately pointed out.

“Joan,” Larry called out from behind right then, interrupting her conversation with Jake.

Jake was an optimistic person. Hence, Joan enjoyed talking to him because his sunny personality never failed to fill her with positive energy.

“What are you doing here?” Joan shot up from her seat.

“Did you forget what I said yesterday? I told you I’d be coming here to take you home today,” Larry reminded.

Joan was dumbstruck.

He never mentioned anything about taking me home!
