A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1817

Joan quickly got on her feet when she saw the two men about to fling their fists at each other.

“Stop it, both of you. It's late. Why not you head back first, Dustin? Thanks for your coat,” she said, giving it back to him.

Dustin looked at her hesitantly. He was afraid Larry would do something to her.

“It's still early. Why not all of us have a talk?” Larry said with a snicker on his face.

Joan looked at the man in confusion. What's wrong with him? Does he have to speak like that?

“I'll see you tomorrow, Dustin,” Joan said, waving her hand at him in a dismissing manner.

Dustin turned to leave, but Larry refused to let him go in peace.

The latter sneered, “Do you guys want me to go to another room so you guys can have some personal space?”

That comment made Dustin lose all his cool.

Before Dustin could heave Larry a punch, the latter had already beat him to it.

“Larry! Stop it!” Joan shouted desperately for him to stop, but her efforts were futile. Larry's anger was not appeased.

“You're the one who failed to protect her, so don't take it out on me!” Dustin snarled back and got on his feet, ready for a fight.

The two men charged at each other, and a ferocious fight ensued.

“Stop it, you two! Stop!” Joan cried out anxiously, but none of them paid any attention to her.

As the fight intensified, Joan felt that she had to do something. When she saw Larry raising his fist again, she dashed in between the two, causing a blow to land right on her nose.

“Joan! Are you okay?” Dustin asked distraughtly, rushing closer to her.

“Did you just take my punch for this man?” Larry's eyes turned red as he glared at her.

Joan glowered back at him with undiluted anger shining in her eyes.

“That's enough, Larry!” she yelled.
