A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2761

Ah, it turns out that she has made plans, after all.

“How did you get acquainted with Joan Watts?' the bartender asked Abelyn beside him in a murmur while they were in the restaurant.

“Hmm? Well, I guess you can say that we started out as enemies.” Abelyn chuckled awkwardly, her guard going up at once. This is strange. Why did he suddenly bring up Joan?

“What is she up to recently?” the bartender pressed without lifting his head.

At his continued questions, chagrin welled within Abelyn. Putting aside the issue of jealousy, the fact that he had randomly inquired about Joan put her on high alert.

“Why are you asking? Are you acquainted with her?” Abelyn murmured while stirring the coffee in her cup. She slowly raised her head and regarded the man in front of her with puzzlement.

“No, not at all. Uh... Do you want a refill for your coffee?” The bartender deliberately changed the subject. Nonetheless, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and conversation between them tapered.

Abelyn, who even had a row with her best friends because of her boyfriend, suddenly felt dreary. The joy within her dissipated significantly as well.

Meanwhile, Joan was nonchalantly flipping through a magazine in the living room. There was nothing much she could do right then, merely waiting for news before executing her plan.

Ring, ring!

“Your cell phone is ringing, Joan,” Dustin prompted.

“Coming!” Joan hastily called out, dashing over at once. Glimpsing the caller ID flashing across the screen, she immediately answered the call without the slightest hesitation.

“How are things going? Have you found her?” Her voice was tinged with a hint of anxiety and worry.

“Good morning, Ms. Watts. We have found Lucinda Xenos' whereabouts,” the other party answered confidently.

“Alright, I got it. Please send me the location, and thank you so much.”

Oh my God, this is great! Joan squealed as she stood there with excitement written all over her face.

When Dustin saw that, surprise flooded him. What happened that she's that happy? He slowly got to his feet and ambled toward Joan, who was a near distance away.
