A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2471

“Have I been out of sorts these few days, Jessica?” Caspian asked.

That's too mild a description! In truth, you've even been worse than a walking corpse! You always drop your cutlery when you're eating, and you space out when you're working. Even when you're walking, you're often a hair's breadth from getting hit by a carlWorse still, you're no longer asking me out to a movie or shopping dates! I always declined back then because I'd been busy, but he has wilted now that I'm free, often looking dispirited instead.

“Tell me what exactly is on your mind now. Do you not love me anymore?” Jessica questioned out of the blue, her voice colored with aggrieve.

“What are you saying, silly? How could I possibly not love you? You're the woman I love most in this lifetime!” Caspian answered, instantly hugging her tightly and kissing her tenderly on the forehead.

“Really? Did you also say this to Nancy Barrymore in the past?” Jessica quizzed bluntly without considering his feelings in the slightest.

In her world, she had always believed that once two people started dating, they should be frank with each other and tolerate the other person in everything.

“How did you know about me and Nancy?” Caspian asked with his brows deeply creased, chagrined.

“Look at how intimate you're addressing her! Tell me, do you still love her now? Do you?” Jessica questioned as she pinched his arm.

“Alright, listen here. Now, my mind is chock-full of you. Your countenance plays in my mind when I'm sleeping, working, and even eating. How I wish to marry you right away and hold your petite hand every day...”

Caspian's confession truly astonished Jessica.

She had always thought that he was a rough and tumble man, but over time, she started realizing that he was actually a very gentle man. He was good at making her happy and adept at sweet talk. Besides, he would protect and take care of her. On the whole, he had every single quality a man ought to possess.

“Then, tell me what's wrong with you lately,” Jessica murmured as she nestled into his arms.

“I've been feeling rather irritable lately. For some reason, I just worry that something would happen to Larry abroad.”

At long last, he told her the truth.
