A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2657

“If I disappear from your sight, will you stop bothering me?” Joan asked out of the blue.

Her question caught Jake by surprise. He did not anticipate that question of hers.

“No,” he answered resolutely.

Jake himself was confused. Did I cling to Joan to take revenge? Or do I love her?No, I love Faye!

He shook his head and berated himself to get a grip.

“Joan Watts, you will never escape from my clutches!” he proclaimed loudly.

Never? Joan shot him a dirty look.

How long is forever?A car accident can end everything in an instant.

“Jake, I hope you can reflect on your actions. You used to act differently back then. If you continue to bother me, I have no idea how to continue with my life,” Joan tried to convince him as conflict flashed across her eyes.

What does she mean?She has no idea how to continue with her life?Am I that scary?

“Don't try to scare me, Joan. Whether you live or die is none of my business,” Jake sneered.

Jake has changed. He doesn't even care if I die now.Good. Let it be, then.

“Okay, we can have dinner together. Remember, this is the last time.” Joan then grabbed her bag and left ahead of him.

Jake didn't know what she meant by “the last time”, nor did he try to figure out what it meant.

They went to a restaurant to have dinner. Inside the restaurant, the lighting was subtle, the music mellow, and the heady scent of roses lingered in the air. It was a lovely sight, but all Joan felt was annoyance.

It's the last meal. She told herself. Just bear with it!

“Here, Jake. Cheers!” She lifted her wineglass and gulped it down without waiting for his reply.

Jake was a little surprised as she took the first move.
