A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1728

All these thoughts ran through Nancy's mind, and she nearly blurted them out. Caspian walked over with a smirk, wanting to keep her in suspense. Upon seeing her with a desperately curious look, he offered, “It's Dustin!”

He crossed his arms and continued, “I did not expect him to be related to Alpire Group. That aside, the most damning thing was he told Boss they are targeting the whole of Norton Corporation. They want to take over Norton Corporation!”

Whew! Thank goodness it was not Jory. She breathed a sigh of relief as she remembered no one else actually knew Jory. She was too nervous earlier to think straight and to focus on what Caspian was saying.

Larry's company was in a crisis, and all she could think of was Jory.

“We'll have to help Larry. Please let him know he could contact my dad and me if he needs our help.” She made a casual offer, but Caspian took it as a sincere offer and was rather touched.

He stepped forward to give Nancy a hug, yet she used her arms to block him off. She was taken aback by her own reaction but went on to banter with Caspian. “You are hot and sweaty. Go get a shower.”

Caspian scratched his head in embarrassment, held her hand, and apologized to her. He then went to pick his clothes from the wardrobe and got ready to shower.

It was only upon hearing the bathroom door closed that she slumped and sat on the bed. She crossed her hands as she sank in confusion like never before.

Innocent Caspian had not detected her abnormality in the past few days, but even if she could deceive Caspian, she could not hide her feelings. She knew she had changed and there was no turning back.

It was pitch dark outside, and one could hear the toads croaking amongst the bushes.

As she stared into the night, her mind drifted, and the window of the room turned to be that of her red Bentley. She could vividly see herself seated in the driver's seat and an exasperated Jory yelping at her to get out of the way.

She did not know how long she was in a daze, thinking of Jory. When she recovered from it, she was no longer on that narrow lane where they met. She was still seated on her bed at home, surrounded by silence, accompanied by the occasional toad croaks.

Larry and Joan did not approach Finnick and Vivian for help to resolve Norton Corporation's crisis. They did not even tell them about the problem.

However, in this digital age, Finnick and Vivian would have found out through different mediums in social media.

Larry and Joan found they had little time to spend with Leslie as they had to try ways and means to save Norton Corporation. Out of desperation, Joan had to pay Finnick and Vivian a visit to ask for their help to look after Leslie.

She stared at the rosy chubby cheeks of Leslie, who was lying in the baby cot and sighed, “Leslie dear, please do not be angry with Daddy and Mommy. We would love to spend all our time with you, but at this moment, we had to fight hard to keep the company, which is the fruit of blood, sweat, and tears of many people.

Daddy and Mommy had no choice but to send you over to your grandpa and grandma for the time being...”

Young Leslie seemed to have understood her, and his little face scrunched up, looking displeased. Joan was anxious about meeting her in-laws too. They had not met since Norton Corporation got into trouble.
