A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1581

“But...” Joan wanted to say something but Larry interrupted her. “But you don't have to worry. Since we're not the best fit to adopt the child, I've found a suitable person to adopt him. The butler of Norton Residence has been childless and wanting to adopt a child, but he hasn't had the opportunity. I've called him just now, and he said that he's happy to adopt this child, so you don't need to worry anymore,” Larry assured her while holding her hand.

“Really? In this case, we won't have to adopt this poor child.”

The news brought smile to Joan's face.

“Actually, I also know that we're not the most suitable person to adopt him, but I feel really sorry for him. Knowing that he'll be in good hands now, I feel the weight being lifted off me.” Joan's sweet smile made Larry want to kiss her, but he could not due to his injury.

Suppressing the urge, he thought of something else and said seriously, “Joan, do you still remember my close friends whom I told you about before? It'll be the death anniversaries of Hector, Tom, and Marc in a few days. We'll visit their gravesites and their parents. It's also been a long time since I last met my other friends, so we'll meet them too this time. What do you think about it?”

Hearing his suggestion, Joan agreed without the slightest hesitation. “Of course, I'm up for it. I've long wanted to meet all these respectable friends of yours. I'm more than happy to go and see them and their parents.”

Larry was relieved to see that Joan was being so sensible.

“Great. My injury will likely heal in a few days.

Then, we can go that time.”

“Okay. You need to lie down and recuperate first. We'll talk about it after you've recovered.”

Joan hurriedly motioned for him to lie down.

“You have to take care of me these few days then. It's really inconvenient for me to do anything now,” Larry said with a grin. Obviously, he recalled the time when he feigned injury and asked Joan to take care of him previously.

Joan had apparently thought about it too as she gave him an annoyed glare. “You still have the nerve to smile. You kept me in the dark and made me take care of you for several days that time. You're so bad!”
