A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2910

"It's not like I did anything too over-the-top..." Jessica mumbled, tugging at a corner of Larry's shirt.

Caspian's expression lit up.

If this had happened in the past, he would have gotten jealous watching her act like this to another man. Now, he was actually rejoicing at the fact that the love of his life was doing such a thing.

"Don't touch me!" Larry shook her grip off. "Why did you have to go and get into a useless conflict with Della like that? When you get bitten by a stray dog, do you bite it back?"

The words had barely left his mouth when Jessica and Caspian burst out into laughter.

Jessica had the forethought to hide her giggles behind one hand in a useless attempt to cover up her emotions.

"That's enough! I'm telling you right now, Jessica, don't ever do that again!" With that, Larry whipped around and went up the stairs. He hadn't planned on being too harsh on her in the first place. After all, she was Caspian's lover.

Elsewhere in another villa, Jake was busy with the preparations for the wedding.

A frightened Joan could only watch him from the stairway, her knuckles white from how tightly she gripped the railing. It seemed to her that Jake had completely lost his mind.

She wanted desperately to have a proper talk with him over the matter, but he refused to give her a chance to do so.

"The invitations have all been sent out, Mr.

Wilson," a housemaid told him. Jake made a simple sound of acknowledgment.

He knew that Joan was watching him from the stairs. He didn't want to lift his head and meet her gaze for fear of seeing the disappointment and sadness in her eyes.

Fate was truly a confusing thing. God would bring some people into one's life before taking them away and bringing them back.

Nonetheless, Joan had never once focused her affections on him.

His hand trembled slightly, tightening around the pen in his grip. He wanted nothing more than to grow old with her and live a happy life together, but that wasn't her wish.

"Jake?" Joan called out, slowly approaching him.
