A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1629

Still, he muttered, "I've asked my coworker to reserve a table for us at a nearby restaurant. If we don't go, his efforts will go to waste. Are you free tonight? It's been a while since we had a meal together."

Joan was someone loyal and too kind. That was why Dustin was sure she would not reject him.

Thus, it was unsurprising when Joan nodded after a second. "Sure, but I'll have to tell Larry about it."

While they were on their way to the restaurant, Larry did not pick up Joan's call. It was only when they arrived at the restaurant then did Larry finally accepted the call.

On Joan's face was a sweet smile. It was not like the polite and reserved smile she had for everyone else. Dustin could see that it was a genuine smile.

"Larry? I won't be coming home for dinner. I have a friend who just came back from overseas."

"A guy or a girl?" It seemed like Larry was busy, for he spoke quickly. Instead of asking who it was, he asked for the gender of her friend.

Right then, a girl behind Joan loudly made her order, and her voice traveled into Larry's ears.

"Okay, got it. Come back earlier. By the way, if you need Caspian to pick you up tonight, tell him earlier. I'll try to go home as early as I can," Larry reminded. He sounds like he's really busy.

If Joan knew that the minor misunderstanding would have blown up in the future, she would have promptly clarified that the friend she was having dinner with was a guy back then.

"He's nice to you," Dustin mumbled, the comment seemingly for Joan and himself. Then, he sipped on his wine.

The smile on Joan's face grew wider. "He's always worried about everything. He's forgotten that I'm no longer a kid. Oh my, we keep talking about me. What about you? Do you have anyone overseas?"
