A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2625

Larry drove home directly after.

He tread lightly for fear of disturbing his family.

“Why are you back so late?” Joan said softly, rubbing her eyes as she sat herself up on the couch.

“Why aren't you in bed yet?” Larry removed his coat and asked in concern.

“I was waiting for you,” she replied.

Silly woman. She could have just called instead of staying up! Larry approached and wrapped her in an embrace. He gently ran a hand through her hair, feeling a pang of remorse inside.

Joan, however, furrowed her brows.

Why it there the scent of perfume on him?

She took a whiff at his clothes and affirmed that there was indeed a woman's fragrance on him.

“Where have you been all night, Larry?” she asked while trying to keep her own emotions in check.

“I was out for dinner,” he said.

“With who?” she asked.

Is she doing census sampling?She never used to be like this! In spite of that, Larry was rather pleased that she reacted this way.

At the very least, it meant that she cared!

“With Jessica,” Larry said.

Joan's eyes dimmed when she heard that.

She knew Jessica's preferences well. Jessica did not like scents that were too overpowering, and would naturally refrain from using such products.

That made Joan sure that there was another woman.

“Just her?” she narrowed her eyes and asked.

"... Della was there as well,” Larry replied.

He felt no need to deceive the one he loved, especially when he opined that she was a levelheaded person.

As upset as she was, she did not articulate it outright.

“I see, it was a work meeting,” Joan lowered her head and uttered.
