A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2373

“Larry, do you still need me to help Joan pack her stuff?” Abigail asked from beside him.

“No,” Larry replied succinctly.

Awkward silence hovered in the air as the three of them looked at each other, lost in their own thoughts.

Abigail only felt that it was a pity that they weren't going home together.

“Won't Jessica be mad that you came here?” Joan broke the silence.

“Where I go is none of her business,” Larry replied blandly.

Abigail respectfully left the ward to give them some space.

Joan expressed her disapproval. “Larry, now that you already have Jessica, you shouldn't have come looking for me.”

Is she trying to say that I'm standing in the way of her plans to pursue a new relationship?

“And?” he prodded.

“And you should start a family with her. You know, live a happy life together.”

What about you?Are you going to marry that man I saw just now and start a life with him? A vicious glint appeared in Larry's eyes and he stated bluntly, “I don't love her.”

Surprise flashed across Joan's face when her mind registered what he had just said.

I clearly saw how intimate he was with Jessica. Why is he denying their relationship now?Don't

tell me he's moved on to another woman?

“Larry, when you fall in love with a woman, shouldn't you be responsible for her? Only scum will change women faster than they change their clothes, you know that, right?” Joan hinted.

You've always been the one I love, Joan. Can't you see that?Or are you avoiding me on

purpose? Larry strode toward her with conflict swirling in his eyes.

“What are you doing?” Joan's guard went up as he approached her.

Things were over between them, so of course it wouldn't be appropriate to do anything overly intimate.

He stopped inches away from her face and whispered hoarsely, “Tell me, Joan. Do you still love me?”

His deep voice only served to enhance his masculinity.

I do. In fact, I've never stopped loving you, but reality can be cruel sometimes.

Joan had zero intolerance for infidelity. She couldn't accept a man who cheated on her, let alone one who was so fickle-hearted. Instead of putting herself through the torture of staying with such a man, she thought she might as well die alone.
