A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2861

Those words got Nancy to grin in secret.

The housemaid monitored Nancy for a long while before deciding that the latter would behave. The former left after that.

That is one vigilant housemaid! Nancy turned around and scanned her surroundings to try to learn something, but she couldn't see any signs of Joan being there, no matter how hard she tried.

That's strange. Is Joan really still staying overseas? That doesn't seem possible either. Jake has already sent out the wedding invitations, and the big day is right around the corner. How could she not be back?Wait, when I first barged into the living room, I think I heard the housemaid say something like Ms. Watts... Hold on. Did they hide Joan away?Oh my gosh, these people are so despicable. I can't believe they would go as low as thatlLooks like Joan has no real power or authority under this roof.

Naturally, Jake had deliberately made things that way.

Joan looked out the window from her room. She yawned and stretched a little as a sense of sleepiness ambushed her. She was about to turn around when she suddenly saw a figure on the first floor.

Huh... That's strange. Why does that woman seem so familiar? I feel like I've met her before...

Joan stared at that woman for a long time, but she still couldn't recall who Nancy was, so she gave up soon after. She retired to her bed and closed her eyes.

"You can leave now. I just peeked, and no one is outside," said the housemaid rudely after approaching Nancy.

Wow, this woman is strict. She acts as if she is the owner of the house, thought Nancy. She pursed her lips and looked utterly dissatisfied.

"Err, those men must be lurking somewhere near. I'm certain they haven't left. Trust me. Look at the state I am in. If they catch me again..." said Nancy. She deliberately trailed off to cry a little.

"Alright, alright, you can stay for two more hours, but you must leave immediately after," said the housemaid before she left.

Hmm... two hours. That's enough for me to find Joan. Nancy tilted her head up, and an amused smirk crept up on her lips.

Most houses were designed so that the master bedroom was on the second floor. As far as Jake is concerned, Joan is already the lady of the house, so he must've gotten her a room on the second floor.
