A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2493

If Keith was a person of sane mind, she could at least complain or get compensated for any losses or injury. The problem was that he had a mental illness, so she couldn't possibly hold him liable for his conduct. With a look of resignation, Joan scratched the back of her head.

Just then, Lucius trotted toward her and asked, “Mom, what's wrong? Why do you suddenly look so nervous;

“Nothing. Perhaps I'm just too tired,” she said.

The boy threw her another question, “Where is Dad? He hasn't come back yet?”

“No.” Then, Joan changed the topic, “What do you want to eat? I'll prepare dinner tonight.”

Lucius soon lost in his thoughts. Yet, he was not thinking about dinner but Larry. He stood in front of his mother and studied her expression. In the end, he summoned enough courage and decided to voice his suspicion to her.

“What is it?” Joan asked, pinching the boy's chubby face.

“Mom, do you think Dad has a secret lover?” Lucius asked.

Oh dear, Lucius is thinking too much. But... Secret lover? Who taught him that? Feeling displeased, Joan frowned slightly.

“Of course not,” she reassured him, “your dad won't do something like that, so stop overthinking.” “Mom, let me tell you a secret. My deskmate's parents have gotten a divorce because his father found himself a secret lover. You know what, that woman is younger and more beautiful than his mother.” The boy had no qualms about spilling his deskmate's secret to his mother.

No wonder he knows so much! Joan raised her brow at him but remained silent.

“Mom, if you and dad get a divorce, does it mean that either one of you has a secret lover?” Lucius directly asked.

“That's it. Now, go and do your homework. Your dad and I are fine, and we don't have secret lovers.” With that, Joan turned and left the yard.

After Joan vanished from sight, Delilah approached the boy and knocked his head with her knuckle. “Lucius, you've gone too far just now! How could you say something like that about your mom and dad?”

What's the problem with it?lsn't it normal to marry and divorce in this day and age? Lucius shook his head and let out a sigh.
