A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2792

After today, I wonder if I'll ever be able to eat the food he makes again. Joan felt her throat close up as she ate. During the phone call last night, the man kept emphasizing for Joan to go alone with the five million. It's obviously a trap. But if I don't go, Ms. Young and Lucius will be the ones who get hurt.

"Joan, you're awake," Jessica suddenly called out softly as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes on the sofa.

"Yeah. Come have some breakfast," Joan said with a strained smile.

Following that, Jessica wordlessly pulled Caspian over to the bathroom.

In the dining room, Larry was seated across from Joan, eating a sandwich while studying her

carefully, as though waiting for something.

"What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" Joan wiped her mouth and asked selfconsciously.

"Nothing. You should eat more," Larry replied calmly.

Soon, Caspian and Jessica joined them in the dining room.

"Did you make all of this, Larry?" Jessica gaped at the man in front of her with surprise sprawled across her face.

"Eat your breakfast," Larry ordered bossily.

Joan made small talk with the others, but excused herself and left the house soon.

Shortly after she left, Caspian took the last bite of his food and took his leave as well.

Larry and Jessica were the only ones left in the dining room.

"Larry, why didn't you just talk it out with her?" Jessica's brows knitted together in confusion.

"Hurry up and eat." Larry did not explain to Jessica that telling her was pointless. He would rather protect her from the shadows. Naturally, she would come clean with him when she was ready.

Meanwhile, Joan went straight to the bank with the cheque that Larry wrote for her. They did not want bank cards or passbooks, only cash.

Caspian followed her while carefully observing everything around her, keeping in mind all of Larry's instructions.

"How's it going? Has she withdrawn the money?" Larry's deep voice drifted over the phone.

"Yes, she just did," Caspian reported.
