A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2535

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2535

“Jory doesn’t want me anymore. He hates me. Joan, tell me, do you think he’s seeing somebody else?” Nancy wailed.

“Nonsense! I’m sure Jory’s not like that!” Joan disagreed.

Jory’s just like Larry. He’s the type of businessman who devotes his life to one and only woman. So how can a man like him betray Nancy for no reason? Furthermore, didn’t you just give birth to his daughter? He’s practically on cloud nine, Nancy. Leaving you is the last thing on his thoughts, I’ll bet. Nancy, I think you’re overthinking it.

Joan studied the woman in front of her, trying to get a handle on what was troubling her.

“Joan, you don’t understand. Sometimes, I get really scared. Jory’s been working overtime recently…” Nancy continued to vent.

After listening to Nancy, Joan came to a conclusion. Nancy, I’m sure you’re overthinking it.

“Alright, alright. Don’t be dramatic, Nancy. First of all, Jory won’t betray your trust. Secondly, you’re reading too much into it,” Joan explained to her as gently as she could.

“No, I’m not! I’m really scared! You don’t understand. Jory has plenty of young, beautiful women at his beck and call. Look at me, Joan. I’m a housewife. I haven’t touched my makeup in ages. Day in and day out, all I do is take care of the baby. I simply don’t have the extra energy to take care of myself!”

In the end, it was about the kid. Joan sighed. This was every mother’s struggle. In the beginning, after the baby was born, the mother had to sacrifice her time to tend to the baby’s needs. As the child grew, the mother would have fewer and fewer matters to worry about.

“You’ve got to keep it together!” was all Joan could say.

“But I don’t want to!” Nancy shouted. Oh, my! When have you become so stubborn? You’re a mother, Nancy. You can’t be throwing tantrums now. No wonder you keep complaining that Jory can’t stand you!

“Hello there!” came a voice. Jake happened to come across the two women.

Joan and Nancy were surprised to see him.

“Joan, is she a friend of yours?” Jake grinned, referring to Nancy.
