A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1492

“Let go of me! Let me go!”

Joan pounded her fist on him forcefully to keep him away.

However, Larry refused to let go as he held onto her tightly.

After struggling for a while, she stopped moving when she realized it was futile. Allowing Larry to hug her, she continued sobbing in his arms.

“Joan, please believe me. I love you for who you are and I don't care about your background. In fact, my parents feel the same way too. Have you forgotten that they told us to take care of each other?”

Holding Joan in his arms, the sound of her sobs broke his heart.

Nevertheless, Larry's embrace managed to give Joan strength. The images of his parents advising them to stay strong together and handing her the bracelet began to emerge in her mind.

Once she began to calm down, Joan considered the matter thoroughly.

She had initially found the matter to be strange, but it was what happened later that caused her to lose her rationality.

After giving it some thought, Joan felt that she had reacted childishly.

“Do your parents really not care about my background?” Joan asked skeptically as she buried her head in his chest.

“Of course, you silly gal. Isn't that obvious to you too?”

Larry's voice was gentle like the breeze.

“What about Gabriella? What is your relationship with her?”

At the mention of Gabriella, Joan couldn't help but feel guilty.

“There is nothing going on between Gabriella and me. The Nortons and the Wards have always been business partners. Therefore, when Gabriella insisted on working at Norton Corporation, I had no reason to refuse. She had tried to ask her dad, Landon, to arrange a marriage of convenience but my parents never agreed.”

He continued, “Ever since what happened last time, I kicked her out of Norton Corporation. I didn't expect her to cook up such a drama now. This time, I'm not going to let her off!” Larry's gaze darkened.

Gabriella, after challenging my threshold repeatedly, don't blame me now for being merciless.

“Last time? What do you mean?”
