A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2832

Jake had been wanting to bring this up with Joan. However, he had not been able to find the perfect time to. His patience was running thin, and he feared that she might disappear into thin air without a moment's notice.

Joan lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

Rubbing her hands against each other anxiously, she was at a loss of what to say to the man's sudden proposal. I know Jake is my boyfriend, but somehow, I don't feel the connection a couple is supposed to feel about each other. Sometimes when he tries to kiss me, I'll feel uncomfortable.

Joan's silent struggle was evident to Jake. Dejection filled his entire being. It's been so long. How has she not noticed how I feel about her? Or is she still thinking about Larry Norton? That's impossible! She has lost her memories. There's no trace of Larry left in her world!

Jake continued to fix his unwavering gaze on her.

"Jake, honestly, I'm not ready for this," Joan finally uttered.

What's there to be ready for? She doesn't need to lift a finger on everything else as long as she agrees to marry me! He pulled the woman into his arms tightly and seemed rather pitiful when he said, "Joan, as long as you say yes, I'll take care of everything. You only need to focus on being my bride, that's all."

Each of his words was sincere and desperate at the same time.

Joan did not doubt how Jake felt about her. However, the fuzzy image of a man who appeared in her mind intermittently made her think she had a unique connection to him. But she could not, for the life of her, remember who that person was.

"Jake, I'm tired. I'm going to bed now," Joan stated and walked toward the bedroom. No... I can't say yes to Jake's proposal. I can't betray my own feelings and lie to him!

As she slowly disappeared from his sight, a chilling glint flashed across Jake's eyes. What do

I have to do to get her to marry me? Maybe I could knock her up?

Jake immediately slapped himself across his face at that thought. What am I thinking? How could I harbor such a malicious thought!
