A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2514

Nancy dragged herself back to the living room and picked up her baby. She suppressed any hint of hurt from earlier, replacing it with a hearty chuckle as she baby-talked her child.

“Is everything alright, Nancy?” Joan asked worriedly. However, Nancy shook her head without uttering a word.

The couple's tension didn't go unnoticed by Dustin, who headed towards the kitchen and patted Jory's back. “Aren't you going to comfort her? She looks a little sad.”

“Leave me be. I've got my hands full here.” Jory ushered him away.

What's up with these two? Dustin glanced at the man before him, then looked over at the two women in the living room. A frown crept onto his

face as he asked, “Did you two argue?”

“Shut up!” Jory bared his teeth and snarled.

Despite this, things were significantly improving back at the office. Caspian barged in and announced, “Larry, I've got some good news!”

“Get to it then,” Larry ordered.

Caspian understood and got to it. “Gabriella left!”

Larry's spine straightened at this. His eyes twinkled in a focused stare that urged Caspian to continue speaking.

To this, Caspian gladly obliged. “I heard that she's being sent abroad by her dad for causing quite a ruckus.”

Finally, some good news! That's one less problem to deal with. Larry exhaled deeply with relief, loosening his tensed jaw from the earlier events.

“So now, Ms. Duff is the only meddlesome thing on your deal-with list.”

If only it were that easy; Della's constant disruption in my life is equivalent to that of two Gabriellas. Larry's lips tensed in frustration as he was still very much in a pickle.

“I think that you should resolve this as quickly as possible. Della's feelings for you may grow stronger, and if that happens...” Caspian's voice trailed hesitantly.

Although Caspian didn't finish speaking, Larry knew exactly what he was getting at; Della would leech onto him even more than she did now. However, Larry had no idea what could deter Della, apart from marrying Joan.

At Jory and Nancy's residence, Nancy had explained everything to Joan. “Do you understand it now, Joan? None of this is Larry's fault—it's Della's. She is the one who keeps throwing herself at him.”
