A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1476

After the incident, Joan asked for some time off from work. She locked herself in her house and refused to leave because she needed time to overcome the trauma that Larry caused her.

Dustin, on the other hand, became a regular visitor in Joan's place.

He didn't know what had happened, but he could tell that Joan had gone through a terrible ordeal. This is my shot at getting her to open up and talk to me.

Dustin knew that Joan was in love with someone else, but he didn't care. He believed that time would prove how much he loved her, and they could be together in the future.

They interacted freely, and time passed them by. Before either of them knew it, Dustin had already spent a lot of time with Joan.

“Joan, I have to go back to deal with some things, and I can't stay here any longer. It's been nice hanging out with you,” said Dustin as he stood up.

“Thank you, Dustin. I am truly glad to have a friend like you,” replied Joan genuinely.
