A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2753

“I'm here to look in on you.” Dustin brandished the bag in his hand at Joan. He was worried that Joan would go hungry, so he went to the supermarket and bought her a lot of things.

“You didn't have to buy me so many things. I can take care of myself,” Joan murmured as she bustled about.

“Don't worry about it. I had nothing to do, so I went shopping,” Dustin replied awkwardly, chuckling. He knew that she merely didn't want to accept any favors from him for no reason.

“When are you going back?” he then asked out of the blue.

That was a question that demanded extensive deliberation. Upon hearing that, Joan tilted her head, and a trace of indecision manifested in her eyes. I have no idea when I'll go back either. The thing is, I don't know when this scandal will fizzle out.

“We'll see how it goes.”

“Why don't you ask Larry to help you?” Dustin couldn't quite understand that since it would be a piece of cake for Larry to resolve this issue considering his influence.

“I want to try my hand at it first. If I truly can't settle it, I'll then go and seek his help,” Joan answered mildly.

Well, that's... quite a unique approach. They share such an intimate relationship, yet they actually have such a practice, huh? Casting a glance at her, Dustin then lowered his eyes. So, she has never considered asking for my help.

“What is it? Is something else the matter that you sought me out today?” Joan lifted her head, her expression a tad grave.

Indeed, Dustin had another motive in seeking her out, but he hesitated as he contemplated whether he should tell her the truth.

“Well? Just say it. What's with the hesitation?” Mirth tickled Joan when she noticed his hesitance despite already being here.

“Um... I had a fight with Abelyn.”

That simple utterance had Joan splurting out the water in her mouth. What? Did he just say that he fought with Abelyn? Is he serious? She studied the man before her skeptically. Isn't he usually very indulgent toward her? Why did they suddenly fight today?

“Why?” she asked seriously after wiping her mouth.

“Because she has fallen hopelessly in love with a man.

“That's good news!”

“The thing is, the man is a bartender in a nightclub, and he usually fools around with tons of other women.”
