A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2962

Is that really all? As Della stared at Larry's disappearing back, her expression was one of intense worry.

When Larry arrived home, Joan was already asleep on the sofa. He slowly walked over and reached out to carry her to the bedroom, but she suddenly woke up at that precise moment.

"You're back?" Joan immediately greeted him while rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah. Why didn't you go into the bedroom to sleep?" Larry inquired gently as he stroked her hair.

"I have trouble sleeping by myself in the bedroom." Joan hugged the man in front of her tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.

For some inexplicable reason, a thrill shot through Larry at the sight of her reliance on him. Now that our lives have finally settled down, we no longer have to live in fear like before. At that thought, Larry's hands around her tightened a fraction.

Indeed, everyone thought that life would be peaceful in the future. But unbeknownst to them, incident after incident would befall them in the coming days.

"Drop the act! I've already investigated everything, and it was you who orchestrated Joan's kidnapping back then!" Sitting in a corner in a cafe, Jake stared at the woman across from him coldly.

So what? Didn't they let me go in the end because they didn't have sufficient evidence? Abelyn smirked as she took a sip of her coffee. I want her to die a ghastly death! I simply want her to disappear from the face of the earth! Only then will my anger be quenched!

"You're the president of a company, so do keep your identity in mind. I think you know full well what's appropriate and inappropriate, so I don't need to remind you to watch your words, yes? And as long as you can furnish me with the evidence, I'll admit that it was me," Abelyn drawled with feigned seriousness.

Evidence? The evidence is those few men who took the negotiation abroad! Alas, Larry actually allowed them to escape! But then again, if those men hadn't fled, perhaps Joan wouldn't be alive now.

"Abelyn, don't think I'm unaware that you're working with Della Duff. So, why attempt to keep it a secret time and again?" Jake blurted out of the blue.

Huh? That's strange. How did he know about that? Astonished, Abelyn gaped at Jake across from her.
