A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3099

Perhaps he should be honest with Gabriella. After all, the final choice lay in her hands.

The next day, the eatery was closed to the surprise of Gabriella.

Joan sat by the window and smoothed the front of her dress as she waited for Gabriella to emerge from the washroom. Since Larry had been honest, she should be more accepting of the circumstances.

"What's the situation? Why aren't you open today?" Gabriella asked as soon as she emerged as she was bursting with curiosity.

"Gabriella, I think we need to talk," Joan said sternly.

What's going on? Gabriella looked up and stared bewilderedly at the woman before her. Joan closed the entire eatery just to talk to me?Looks like this is something huge.

"I have known Jake for a long time. I know he had..."

Joan spoke brusquely, and Gabriella was hurt to hear that.

Why? Why did the man she love fall for Joan?

Gabriella clasped her hands as her heart wrenched with sadness.

"Don't worry, I'm going to marry Larry soon," Joan hurriedly added.

And then what?Does she think that by marrying Larry, she can cause Jake to give up?No, that's definitely not going to happen! Though Gabriella had not liaised with Jake, she knew he was a determined person — regardless of whether he was dealing with people or with work.

"Joan, even if you do marry Larry, Jake won't give up so easily," Gabriella said calmly as stirred her coffee.

Everybody knew about Jake's character. He wasn't easy to deal with, nor was he a chatty sort.

"The reason why I'm telling you all of this is for you to understand Jake's past. I only see him as my savior."

Joan had never forgotten that.
