A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2873

"Jessica, how could you be so free? Are you sure you have settled everything in the bookstore?" Larry asked gently as he patted her on the head.

He sounds just like his usual self! Looks like his mood is not affected. Jessica straightened up at once and heaved a sigh of relief.
