A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2481

“Did we scare you, Joan?” giggled Nancy.

Jessica also chimed in, “It was all just a joke!”

How could they do this to me? Joan carefully set down the baby in her arms, acting as if she was about to storm off.

“Don't go, Joan! You're the bestest best friend in the whole wide world!” Nancy cried out, hugging Joan's arm with a sad, puppy-dog expression.

“And the bestest sister-in-law in the world, too!” Jessica whined cutely, clutching onto Joan's other arm.

Joan wondered if the two women were taking the “the world's a stage” saying a little too seriously with how dramatic they were being.

“Now that all three of us are here, let's go shopping!” Jessica suggested.

“But what about the baby?”

“Help me look after the baby!” Nancy shouted out in the direction of a butler standing near them.

“Yes, madam. Please be careful while you're out,” came the butler's polite reply.

So they'd planned this! Joan glared at the both of them, rendered speechless as they all picked up their handbags and headed out.

“No alcohol for the both of you!” Joan ordered during the drive, her face dead serious.

She was more than familiar with the chaotic shenanigans Nancy and Jessica would get up to while drunk.

“Wanna go visit a bar by ourselves, Jessica?” Nancy asked out loud, purposefully ignoring Joan.

“Sure! I haven't had a proper drink in so long.”

Were they out of their minds? Jessica had just been to the nightclub barely more than a week ago!
