A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2402

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2402

“I’m sorry, Caiden. I’m afraid I can’t accept your gift. Also, I think it will be best if we stop contacting each other because I’ve already accepted Larry’s proposal, and we will be getting married soon,” Joan announced while hooking her arm into Larry’s.

The man mentioned was taken by surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.

Playing along with her, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. “Well, Joan has always been mine from the start. Caiden, you’d better watch yourself.”

“That’s impossible! Joan, stop lying to me. I don’t believe that Larry has proposed to you,” Caiden roared.

“Besides, what happened to you? Weren’t we doing fine before this? Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?” He pressed on.

Suddenly? I’ve always been like that.

“I’ve repeated myself countless times, but you are just so stubborn. It’s impossible for anything to happen between us! I’m simply an ordinary woman, and I would hate to get involved in someone else’s drama. With that said, please watch your friends properly,” Joan seethed.

Immediately, Caiden understood what she meant.

Someone must have visited her before me!

“Tell me, who came to look for you? I will explain to them that everything is my fault, and I will bear all the responsibility. Don’t worry, Joan. I will not let them harm you in any way,” Caiden asserted.

Besides Larry, Joan did not trust the words of any other men.

“Forget it. If you continue to pester me, I will leave here once and for all,” the woman threatened as she glared at the unwelcome visitor.

Hearing what she had said, Larry froze.

Where would she go? He felt anxious.

She can’t just leave! Instinctively, he held onto her hand tightly. That gesture prompted Joan to look to the man beside her. Realizing that he was worried, she smiled at him to assure him that everything would be alright.

“Do you have to go to such extremes?” Caiden asked.

“Yes, that’s who I am, and this is my true self.”

That’s impossible! She was never like this. Still, Caiden shook his head in disbelief, with tears glittering in his eyes.
