A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1467

“Well? Spit it out! Who sent you? Otherwise, you'll end up like the two of them!”

Larry's voice was dripping with a bone-deep chill as he placed his leg on the ruffian's body.

“I-I don't know anything! I only know that it was a woman! I don't know anything else!” the ruffian blurted without even thinking about it.

After all, the sight of his two buddies howling on the ground struck such terror into him that his heart was about to pound out of his chest.

A woman?

After pondering for a moment, the answer came to Larry.

Disregarding the ruffians, he then rushed over to Joan. When he saw her shaken state, his heart shattered, and he pulled her into his arms lovingly.

“You're fine now. I'm here, so everything is going to be okay.”

Larry stroked her back gently, and his voice was a soothing tenor.

Hugging him tightly, Joan sobbed softly. A sense of security engulfed her at his solid and warm embrace.

“Let's go. I'll walk you home,” Larry murmured.

Only then did Joan realize that she had been hugging him for some time, and she swiftly released her hold on him. When her hands were empty, she instinctively clutched the hem of her clothes with embarrassment written all over her face.

“Thank you.”

She didn't quite know what to say, so in the end, the many things she wanted to say all condensed into a succinct expression of thanks.

“Nah,” Larry grunted in response. “Let's go.”

Then, he took the lead and walked ahead of her.

When they arrived at Joan's house, he stayed for a while. After ascertaining that she was fine, he told her to rest well before leaving.

As his car sped off, his face was blanketed with a layer of frost.

The entire night passed in silence. When Larry went to work the next morning, he headed straight for Gabriella's office.

At that moment, Gabriella was spacing out as she contemplated how she should handle Larry's confrontation. In fact, she had already known about everything that had happened last night itself.

Besides panic, she also felt a hint of regret.

Damn it all to hell! It was such a great opportunity to teach Joan Watts a lesson, but alas, my plan was ruined by Larry's appearance!

“Gabriella Ward.”

Gabriella jumped at the sudden voice. When she saw who it was, she forced a smile.
