A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2788

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2788

The Matter Is Settled

Joan clenched her fists and tried to suppress all her dismay. Am I supposed to suppress myself forever? Joan looked at the woman before her and pleaded with her eyes.

“Madam, it was wrong of Lucius to beat anyone. Let me apologize on his behalf.” With that, she bowed low to the woman.

“Mom!” Lucius shouted, “Why do you need to apologize? They did wrong first!”

At this point, Lucius was unbearably furious. Joan held his little hand and shook it, motioning to him to be silent. Immediately, the boy kept quiet.

“You! Go home and teach your son how to behave, but, then again, how could a murderess train her son to be good?” The woman murmured as she walked towards her own son.

“So, your own son has been taught to behave well?” Suddenly, from behind, came a familiar male voice. Joan turned around and heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be Caiden.

“Mr. Owens!” With a trembling voice, Lucius rushed into his arms.

Caiden gently patted the child on the back to comfort him and then he walked to Joan, looking at her affectionately with fondness in his eyes.

“Mr. Owens, why are you here?” The woman immediately came towards Caiden and greeted him warily.

“I’m here to watch a show,” he replied sarcastically with a contemptuous expression on his face.

Immediately, the woman panicked. How is this darned Joan related to Caiden? The woman wrung her hands tightly and looked a little nervous. “Well, that was just a misunderstanding. Ms. Watts, I’m really sorry for what happened just now.”

This apology confused Joan. Is this woman afraid of Caiden? Why is this so? Joan looked at her in bewilderment, feeling puzzled.

“Son, hurry up and apologize to Lucius.”

“Mom!” The boy protested.
