A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1865

The rain grew heavier as the storm worsened. Flashes of lightning searing across the sky made the night even more frightening.

Larry looked determinedly out the window into the storm. He parked his car by the road and had planned to let the rain subside before taking off.

However, when the rain did not show any sign that it was going to stop any time soon, Larry started the car and headed toward the village.

That afternoon, Delilah took the initiative to call him and told him that she would like to talk. With such a good opportunity, Larry wasn't going to give it up easily, regardless of the possibility of a storm.

“Grandma, what are you looking at?” Lucius asked as he threw himself onto Delilah.

“I'm waiting for someone. If he comes tonight, I will work with him no matter what he offers me. If he doesn't, that just shows me that he does not deserve my cooperation.” Delilah's eyes flashed with coldness.

I wonder what will his choice be tonight? Delilah thought.

“Where's your mother?” she asked Lucius in a low voice.

The road to the village was becoming increasingly rugged, as did the number of potholes filled with water. Larry looked ahead wearily as the rain poured on.

Thump! With a jolt, the car suddenly sank into a large pothole.

Larry pressed hard on the accelerator but it was no use; the tire was firmly lodged in.

He glanced at his watch and panicked when he saw that his appointment with Delilah was almost time.

In the end, Larry exited the car with an umbrella and continued on.

The rain poured down harder than ever; the road was muddy and full of holes. It was impossible to differentiate where the potholes ended and where the road began.

Perhaps it was due to fatigue, but Larry suddenly felt dizzy and weak in his whole body. He shook his head vigorously in an attempt to wake himself up but he still felt very tired and sleepy as if he had taken a sleeping pill.

Finally, his eyelids drooped shut and he fell over.

“Hey, Selena, why don't I give you a ride home? With the rain as heavy as this, you wouldn't be
