A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2548

“Yes, yes, you look great in the outfit,” the sales attendant affirmed immediately.

“Forget it, Jessica. I want to go home,” Joan remarked when she saw herself in the mirror.

Given the circumstances, she had no mood to shop at all.

“Alright, we'll take this, this, and this.” Right after that, Jessica dragged Joan out of the clothing store and entered a footwear store instead.

“Joan, let me give you one piece of advice. As an ordinary woman, you have to learn how to spend your husband's money. Or else, what's the point of him earning so much?” Jessica remarked as she winked mischievously.

But I betrayed Larry! Joan looked around and saw that everything inside costs a bomb... On her way home, Joan ran into Dustin.

“What do you want from me? Haven't I made my stand clear enough? Why are you still clinging on to me?” Joan scowled by the roadside.

She couldn't accept how clingy Dustin was, let alone marrying him.

“Joan, give me a reason for me to stop loving you. I really can't let you go,” Dustin answered bluntly.

Prior to this, he chose to stay silently by her side for the sake of her happiness. But now, he wanted to be more selfish. He no longer could tolerate Joan being together with Larry while he licked his wounds in a dark corner. He was sick of playing that role.

“The reason is that I don't love you!” Joan replied

resolutely.

Again and again, she hurt him with her heartless rejection. Dustin had lost count of the number of times she had rejected him. Despite always being emotionally prepared for the expected outcome, he still felt devastated by it.

Dustin gradually turned around, hiding his emotions. After that, he left without saying another word.

At that moment, he had truly given up on her as he no longer knew how else to win her back. He wondered if he was just a supporting actor in Joan's life all this while.

Looking at the lonesome figure walking away, Joan couldn't help but feel her heart burn.

No, I cannot waver. I must stand firm. With that, she turned to leave.

Thump!
