A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2401

“It's alright. I don't feel like going there, and besides, I'm exhausted,” she murmured before heading into her bedroom.

Over the last few days, she had been feeling rather tired. Something was bothering her and making her feel uneasy, yet she could not figure the reason behind it. As such, she felt a little lost.

“Mom, are you feeling unwell?” Lucius entered her room and asked.

Looking at her son, she gently replied, “Nope, that's not the case. What's wrong? Is there anything you need?”

To her surprise, the child commented, “I think you are unhappy, Mom.”

He sure warms my heart. With a smile, Joan stretched out her arm to caress the boy's head.

She mused, “Why would I be unhappy when I have a precious son like you?”

Climbing onto her bed, Lucius excitedly whispered beside her ear. “Mom, I think Dad bought you a gift.”

Instantly, Joan's eyes lit up, and she felt more energetic than before.

When did he come back?

“How do you know?” she questioned.

Tilting his head with a mysterious expression on his face, Lucius took a moment to ponder.

He finally said, “Mom, Dad loves you very much, so please play along.” Without giving away any more details, he ran out of the room.

How old is he? I can't believe he knows how to leave others with a cliffhanger.

“Joan? Come and have dinner!” Larry called out from the dining room.

Sure enough, he was home.

Despite feeling tired, Joan dragged herself out of bed.

As soon as she opened the door, she heard a scream, followed by the popping of balloons. All she could see in front of her was petals, and it smelled wonderful.

What on earth is going on? Bewildered, she stared at Delilah and Larry, who stood before her.

“Mom, Happy Birthday!” Lucius appeared out of nowhere while yelling at the top of his lungs.

Following that, Larry pushed a cake cart towards her while singing a birthday song.

“Happy Birthday!” He exclaimed.
