A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2511

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2511

“No, it’s not that far from here. I’ll walk.” Joan spun and paced off in the other direction.

Back home, Larry snored soundly on the sofa while Delilah and Lucius were still tucked away in bed. The three of them remained in a harmonious state of slumber.

Right then, Joan gently opened the door. She tip-toed as quietly as a mouse for fear of waking anyone.

“You’re home,” Larry murmured whilst rubbing his eyes.

This startled Joan, who then shut the door and curtly responded, “Yeah.”

“Joan, are you still mad at me? I swear that there’s nothing between Gabriella and me. What happened that day was an accident. Please hear me out this once?” Panic and sorrow smeared all over Larry’s face as he stumbled towards her.

Fine. Let’s say that there’s really nothing between him and Gabriella. Then what about Della?

Joan climbed onto the bed and uttered softly, “I see.”

“Are you still upset?” His voice was brittle.

“Larry, we’ll talk after you sort out the mess on your end. I’m too exhausted to deal with you now.” There was something hollow about Joan’s voice as if she were barely holding herself together from collapsing.

Larry tensed with confusion at her dismissal.

“What do you mean by that?” His brows lowered at once.

At this, Joan’s head fell back as she sneered. How can he not understand when I made it so clear for him? Isn’t he supposed to be the intelligent one?

Her lips curled disdainfully at the muddled look on his face. She spat, “Della approached me. She told me that she’s your girlfriend.”

All color drained from Larry’s face at once. Then he stormed out the room without so much as another word.

“Della! Why the hell did you approach Joan?” Larry barked into his phone as he paced back and forth.

On the other end, Della teased as if she were oblivious to his anger. “And what’s wrong with that?”

“I warned you to never show up in front of Joan!”
