A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2970

"Um... Gabriella, why haven't I heard you mentioning Larry in the past few days?" Joan inquired softly on the sofa in the living room, her eyes colored with a hint of puzzlement.

She's here to look for Larry, yet she hasn't once mentioned his name. This is rather strange.

"Why should I mention him? I've got you now, no?" Gabriella teased while blinking her eyes at her.

For some inexplicable reason, a burst of joy filled Joan up upon hearing that.

"When are we going to start an eatery, Joan?" Gabriella asked urgently, grasping her arm.

Hmm... This is a question that really necessitates me to think long and hard. Joan hadn't made up her mind about the location since she was worried that someone would come and make trouble. Too many things have transpired previously, and Larry urged me not to leave the house alone, so there might be frequent incidents in the future. Thus, I'm afraid that an eatery might not be in the cards.

"I'll be honest with you, Gabriella. It's not that I don't want to start an eatery, but there are tons of preparations to be made. For that reason, we can't accomplish it anytime soon," Joan explained at once.

Starting an eatery was also her dream, but it was truly not a good time to start a business when the situation was so precarious.

"What's all the fuss about? We'll just make the preparations, then. If you don't want to do that, I'll do it. Don't worry, for everything will be done timely with my father's help!" Gabriella avowed as she patted herself on the chest.

Well, that's true. The Ward family is indeed very powerful. However, I can't drag them into my troubles. No, no, I still need to think about it long and hard.

"Let me ponder upon it so that I can come up with the perfect solution, okay?" Joan hastily proposed.

"Okay. Don't worry, for it's not all that urgent. I just wanted to know whether you're committed to the plan," Gabriella replied with a pout, dipping her head.

At the sight of her mischievous expression, Joan pinched her cheek and giggled.

"What did you just say? Gabriella Ward is at Larry's villa?" Della roared incredulously in her office.
