A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1516

After the two exchanged numbers, Carl got into the driver's car with his help. He then waved at Joan before the car sped off.

Watching the distant car, Joan was still worried. As she hailed a cab, she planned to tell Larry about the incident once she reached home.

Meanwhile, Carl dropped the act the moment the car sped off. He stretched and crowed, “She's definitely fooled. I'm sure she'll visit me in the hospital soon.”

Then, he turned to look at the driver. “Your driving skills aren't that great, are they? You nearly clipped me earlier and frightened the living daylights out of me.”

The driver sneered. “If I don't make it look more realistic, Joan won't believe you. Honestly, your acting was superb. I thought I actually hit you.” “Ha! It's just like what you've said earlier. If I didn't make it look more genuine, how would Joan fall for the trick? Let's go to the hospital. We'll take a photo of Joan visiting me in the hospital before we proceed to the next step of the plan.”

The two then laughed in unison.

Everything that happened earlier had merely been part of Carl's plan.

He was worried about Joan's indifference toward him.

That was why he came up with this plan and found someone to work with him in faking the accident earlier. The man pretended to lose control of his vehicle, almost crashing into Joan. Carl then swooped in to save her in the nick of

time and feigned his injury.

Although it was not as dramatic as movies, Carl had still saved Joan. Because of that, Joan would definitely have a better impression of him.

With that, things would be smooth-sailing for them from then on.

When Joan reached home, she plopped herself onto the couch and begin mulling over what happened earlier.

“You're back. How's work?” Larry was focused on his own work, so he barely noticed what Joan was doing.

Similarly distracted, Joan was lost in her thoughts and did not hear Larry's words.
