A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2828

That's ridiculous! Since when are we obligated to explain everything to her? Visibly annoyed, Larry shot a scathing glare at Caspian.

"Alright, then." Della wiped away her tears and left the office without saying another word.

Knowing that Jake had been keeping Joan company, Della decided that she would not act rashly right now. Nevertheless, to err on the side of caution, she continued to monitor their interactions closely. She had even hired people to capture their daily lives in photographs.

Larry was still under the impression that Joan was dead, and Della was not prepared to let him believe otherwise.

Not long after that, she was back in Larry's office.

"Larry, it's been a long while since Joan's death. You can't possibly be thinking about being single forever?" Della asked tentatively, thinking that she would suffer a great loss if Larry decided he never wanted to get remarried. After all, she was still waiting for him to change his mind about her.

The man was momentarily startled by her question but soon resumed his composure. He shot her a scornful glance, refusing to engage in a conversation with her.

His constant indifference toward her was too much for Della to bear. She had traveled all the way here to spend time with him, only to have her heart broken by his utter apathy.

"Larry Norton!" she yelled, overtaken by resentment.

"Della, I'm really slammed with work here. If there's nothing urgent, can you please leave?" Larry responded impassively.

Why is he constantly pushing me away? Does he really hate me so much? Nevertheless, Della turned around and plopped down on the sofa as she renewed her resolve in getting the man.

Sometimes she was confused and at a loss over her real intention in going after Larry. She wasn't sure if it was out of true love, or if it had become a mere mission she wanted to accomplish.

Regardless, I must have him!

While Larry continued to ignore her presence, Della slowly got used to spending time by herself. She lounged on the office sofa and stopped pestering him.

In Jake's villa, Joan seemed to be immersed in bliss as she happily tended to the flowers in the yard with a few housemaids.
