A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3053

Larry had been watching his every move. Right then, an amused smile played on his lips. He's probably disappointed about how things turned out, isn't he?

With a bitingly cold glint flashing in his eyes, he picked up a wine glass and walked over to Jake.

"What? Are you here to humiliate me?" Jake said in a self-mocking tone as he accepted the glass of wine from Larry's hand.

Larry didn't really care about that. All he knew was that with the truth finally revealed, no one would feel wronged or get hurt for no reason again.

Come to think of it, I have Jake to thank for this.

"Stay away from Joan from now on," Larry abruptly warned.

What the hell is he talking about?ls he going to keep Joan away from me again? Jake lifted his head to glare at the other man.

Why should I stay away from her?

"Larry, you should know that if it weren't for me, Joan would've died a long time ago!" Jake countered with a steely expression.

He's right. He has indeed rescued Joan many times, and in a way, I'm grateful to him for that.But if he still has any funny thoughts about Joan, there's no way I'll take it lying down.

Larry narrowed his eyes at him, a hint of hostility gleaming in them.

"I know that you still have feelings for Joan, but Jake, please understand that Joan is currently my girlfriend and fiancee. In fact, we're about to have a wedding soon. Why must you keep hounding her?" Larry refuted.

A wedding?When?Why haven't I heard anything about this? Jake looked Larry up and down, feeling slightly doubtful.

This b*stard! I can't believe he's marrying Joan so soon. It looks like there's really no more hope for me anymore.

Jake bowed his head to conceal the pain flickering in his eyes. After loving and protecting her for so many years, she's still going to marry Larry. A second time at that.

Jake's face was ashen with despair at that moment.

It was uncertain how much time had passed before everyone parted ways. In the car, Jake kept replaying what Larry had said to him. His heart wrenched painfully in his chest and he found it hard to breathe.
