A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1640

Larry approached Joan from behind. She regained her senses only after he put his hand on her shoulders. After pondering for a long while, she finally uttered, “Do you still trust me?”

Before Larry could answer, she added, “Within the next few days, I plan to move out with Larry. He is still young and needs me by his side.

Hence, I want to raise him myself.”

The moment she finished, he tightened his grip on her shoulders, digging his nails into her flawless, pale skin. Despite the pain she felt, she didn't flinch at all.

Larry roared, “Leslie needs you? Are you saying that he doesn't need me, his father? Have you been planning this all along? Why do you need to make yourself sound noble? I think you must have already decided to return to Dustin's side and take Leslie with you. Let me tell you straight up. Don't even think about it!”

Joan was sick of the repeated quarrels they had and wasn't bothered to explain herself anymore. Since he didn't believe in her, there was no point in doing so anyway.

“Since that's what you think, so be it. Let's stop arguing. I'm already fed up.”

Deep down in his heart, Larry hoped that Joan would protest and tell him he was wrong, asserting that there was nothing going on between her and Dustin. Instead, the calmness and indifference she displayed simply caused him to lose his mind.

The next moment, he pushed her forcefully onto the bed. With his sanity lost, he felt the need to show his dominance over her. He could only feel secure with her underneath him.

“Argh! No! Larry, you b*stard! Get off me!” Joan struggled vehemently as if she was about to be raped. She didn't expect to have said something like that while attempting to resist.

“You have finally said it out loud. Are you really that desperate to leave me?” Larry scoffed, “Isn't this normal for us?”

Joan's resistance was visibly too weak to fend Larry off. By denying him, she had only served to fan the flames of his lust instead, strengthening his urge to dominate her.

“You are my wife. What's wrong with us making love?” He restrained both her hands with one hand and pinned her leg with his own. When she was unable to struggle anymore, he used his free hand to untie the knot of her bare-shoulder top.
