A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2464

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2464

“I can handle it by myself,” Larry insisted.

“Then, tell me how you’re going to resolve the problem. You can barely save yourself now, okay? Don’t tell me you’re planning to lodge a police report? Considering your intellect, I think you can tell that the police are merely for show without any practical use.”

That remark of hers snagged Larry’s attention.

She’s right in that the police are usually not of much use, but I’m unfamiliar with this place, so what else can I do besides lodging a police report?

“Isn’t it good if I resolve it for you?” the woman questioned.

“Why do you want to help me?” Larry demanded bluntly. I’m not going to simply accept help from any Tom, Dick, and Harry without delving further into the possible motives!

“Because I like you.”

That single utterance had the eyes of the man in front of her widening even as disdain manifested on his face.

What the hell is happening here? Even in a different country, an unknown woman has fallen in love with me? This must be a dream, yes? Larry immediately thumped his head and pinched his thigh with all his might.

“Ow…” Alas, pain assailed him. Oh God, this is no dream! Rather, it’s reality!

“Go and help someone else. I don’t need your help,” he promptly blurted as he waved a dismissive hand at her.

I’m married, okay? Strictly speaking, while Joan and I haven’t remarried yet, it’s only a matter of time. Besides, I’ll never betray her!

Slowly sashaying toward him, the woman then leaned in close to his ear. “Why, don’t you like me?” she asked in a whisper.

Hah! Not only do I not like you, but I’m actually repulsed by you, okay? Larry merely threw her a look without answering her, which in turn conveyed his tacit acquiescence.

“It’s okay. Feelings develop over time, anyway. It’s enough that I like you,” the woman proclaimed confidently.

Jeez, who exactly is she that she has so much confidence to make such a brazen declaration?
