A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2783

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2783

This Is Personal

Without thinking twice, Larry picked up his coat and headed outside. His car rolled to a stop in front of Delilah’s place shortly after.

“You’re back, Larry,” Agatha hailed as she busied herself.

Agatha Wainscott was a good friend of Delilah who was asked to look after Lucius before Delilah went into lockup.

“Yeah. Is Joan home yet?” Larry asked as he loosened his tie. Agatha seemed surprised before she shook her head.

She had expected for the couple to return together and had not thought that only Larry would show up. Agatha was secretly worried whether something had happened.

“I suppose she’s busy,” she smiled and replied almost awkwardly.

Oh, for sure. Busy drinking and attending to Dustin!

Thump! The door to the bedroom close by was slammed shut. Agatha looked over and her eyes dimmed. Did that girl do something wrong?

Indeed, Joan did not come home the entire night.

Larry lay down and stewed in bed. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as the sky beyond the window steadily turned to light. When do you intend to keep your distance from that Dustin?

He got up only to go straight for his car and did not respond to Agatha.

“What about your breakfast, Larry?” she called after him.

“I’ll pass!” The man in the car replied in displeasure, but the moment the engine started, he spotted two familiar figures approaching.

“How are you feeling? Are you alright?” Dustin asked as he helped Joan along.

“I’m fine. My head’s throbbing a little, that’s all.” Joan pounded at her own noggin in a bid to clear her mind.
