A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2680

“Alright, you can go home now,” Jake finally said in annoyance.

What a fool. It was such simple reasoning, and yet she couldn't grasp it!

“Nothing bad will happen, right?” Della couldn't help but ask.

“No. Don't worry.”

Despite Jake's confidence, Della still couldnt shake off her anxiety. What made it worse was that nothing happened between Larry and her, yet she had to play along.

Jake noticed the change in her expression and decided to probe. “Ms. Duff, I suppose you and Larry have already... “

“No.” Della's reply was quick, and the disappointment on her face was clear as day.

Jake stared open-mouthed at her. Is she joking? He had gone to so much trouble to set this all up, yet she didn't fulfill her part of the deal? Jake paced around Della in frustration, wondering if he should believe her.

Does she really like Larry?They spent the night together in a hotel room and nothing happened?

“Ms. Duff, can you tell me exactly what happened last night?”

Jake couldn't get past his curiosity of how a drugged man could have resisted that much temptation. Under those circumstances, there was no reason Della wouldn't have gotten her way with him!

“He slept in the bathroom the whole night,”

Della finally replied with a sigh.

No wonderILarry, you're one hell of a cautious man! Jake turned to look out the windows, a cold glint in his eyes.

Even though they hadn't done the actual deed, the fact that the journalists had snapped photos of them together in the room should suffice.

“I got it. You just have to insist that you had done it with him,” Jake said with a darkened gaze.

It was easy for Jake to come up with the suggestion, but it was Della who had to live with the guilt. She usually opposed such despicable acts, yet she was the one carrying it out now.

“Why? You don't want to? You can choose not to admit it. Just don't forget your initial goal when you agreed to our plan!”

Della frowned and looked a little defeated.
