A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2406

“Are you not going to leave?” she glared at the man on his knees before she spat, “Fine! I'll leave then!”

“What is going on? The lady doesn't seem happy,” someone from the crowd commented.

Another one responded, “I don't know why she's acting like that. That guy is so romantic, and she should feel blessed.”

“Women these days have a problem. They don't know how to cherish good men.”

“Joan!' Caiden grabbed her arm, unwilling to let her go.

“Can't you please give me a chance? I really like you,” he pleaded.

“Say 'yes' to him!” The crowd chanted repeatedly.

“Caiden, how many times do I have to repeat myself? Why can't it get through to you? You and I are merely friends and we can never be lovers, much less a married couple. Why are you so insistent? Are you trying to drive me insane?” Joan did not hold back and roared at him.

However, the man was not going to give up easily. “But you won't even give me a chance, so how do you know we are not compatible with each other? We can try it out by spending more time together. I'm sure there will be a day where you'll fall in love with me. After all, we can nurture feeling for each other over time.”

He might be right, but she could no longer make space in her heart for any men other than Larry anymore. If not because of that, why would she fall out with Dustin?

“Forget it. I don't want to reason with you. I'll get going."

Without hesitation, she flung his arm away and walked off.

“Ah!” She heard a sharp scream from behind her, and she stopped in her tracks immediately.

“Hey, wake up! What happened?”

“Mister, are you alright?”

“Send him to the hospital now!” Hearing the commotion, Joan quickly turned on her heels and ran back to the man who was now unconscious.

“Caiden, wake up! Please don't scare me!” she hollered while slapping Caiden's face.

“Please call the ambulance!”

In the hospital, Caiden was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Connected to an IV drip, he looked dishevelled and haggard.
