A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1738

The girl adjusted the blue belt on her waist.

“Look. I am a blue belt. How could a blue belt possibly be sparring with you guys? I'm just a rookie who sneaks over from somewhere else to watch you guys' matches!”

“Did you just say s-she was looking at me in the exact same way? Just like how I'm looking at her right now?” Jory hesitated. Why am I feeling so embarrassed? It's only a simple question. It's not like I can't deal with this kind of situation.

“That's right. But she looks a little more anxious than you. She was sweating bullets throughout the match.” The girl paused for a second before she carried on, “By the way, you guys are so weird. Isn't it normal for couples to care for each other? Why do you guys behave so awkwardly?”

Upon hearing that, Jory was at a loss. He didn't know how to feel. Nancy had rejected him once. Moreover, she was married to Caspian, whom Jory couldn't recall how the latter looked like.

No matter how close they were then, it should be nothing more than close friends. Coming to think of it, the reason for my returning to Marsingfill is to target Barrymore Group, no?

As Dustin was in the picture, he had to take down Larry's company while executing his plans. At that point, he was unsure of his initial motives anymore. After spending more time with Nancy, he found himself caught in a conflict of interest. Despite so, their interaction for the past few days gave him a feeling he had never experienced before.

Right then, he no longer had the desire to strike at Barrymore Group anymore. Obviously, Nancy was the reason for the change of heart. Actually, it all started with Nancy's rejection of their union many years ago. Aggrieved, he decided to take revenge on Barrymore Group.

Couple? That only applies to Nancy and Caspian. I'm suddenly intrigued to meet this guy Caspian. Just what kind of a man is capable of defeating me...

He became increasingly curious about Caspian— his character and appearance. What is it about him that makes Nancy fall head over heels for him and marry him within a mere three months after knowing each other?

The more he thought about it, the more tempted he was to meet Caspian. Although it was him who came up with the idea of ruining Norton Corporation, he did it for the sake of Dustin. He was not the least bit interested in Norton Corporation at all—he would do whatever Dustin wanted him to.

Jory turned his gaze to Nancy. As the match went on, Nancy's stamina was visibly running low. Her opponent is indeed powerful. She didn't do any additional training since the last time we went to dojo together. Can she take it?

Nancy was a little stressed to face such a strong opponent. The woman seemed to be more powerful than her, albeit just to a limited extent. If they were worlds apart in their skills, Nancy would definitely choose to give up. However, they were more or less equal, so there was no way she would admit defeat.

After a moment of confrontation, her opponent was clearly impatient, and she tried to lock Nancy down to the ground a few times. Fortunately, Nancy was agile enough to shun her opponent.

Nancy didn't have the strength to launch an attack on her. Hence, all she could do was stay calm and identify the opponent's weakness. Just like Jory did—I have to find her weakness. There's got to be another way!

As she was thinking to herself, her opponent raised her hand suddenly and requested a short break from the referee. Nancy was confused. It has just started not long ago. She is asking for a break already? What is wrong with her?

The woman suddenly turned around and gave Nancy a wicked smile while she was grabbing a towel. Her opponent was far from good-looking, and her smile made her look even scarier. Nancy had chills all over her body upon seeing her smile.

Despite so, Nancy understood clearly that the smile was a show of contempt.
