A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1790

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1790

Judging from the way she talked about Caspian, Joan thought that she did not sound like she had any idea what happened.

“Nancy, did Jory ever mention anything about giving you a hand at that?” Joan asked the woman before her while she carefully gauged her reaction.

Nancy was stumped at first but soon regained her composure.

“He did mention that he wanted to help me take care of Caspian, but I rejected him. I didn’t want him getting involved. I mean, this divorce is really just between Caspian and me. Joan, you know how Caspian can get. If he knew about Jory, I think…” Nancy paused as she could not bear to finish her sentence.

What? Is that what she means when she talks about coming clean to Caspian?

What is Nancy thinking, really?

“Nancy, please tell me what’s on your mind. Are you going to keep the thing about you and Jory from Caspian?” Joan asked exasperatedly.

Yes, she was indeed planning to hide it from Caspian. She did not want to let Caspian know because she knew that her husband would hunt down Jory with a knife in his hand.

Joan was rendered speechless.

“Please just tell Caspian everything.” Joan looked at Nancy with a hopeful look.

Nancy kept her head low instead.

Joan did not tell Nancy about the thing with Caspian. She just wanted to know if Nancy had any idea about it. Right then, Joan knew that her friend was not aware of what had happened.

Didn’t Jory tell her?

Joan did not know who else would have the motive to frame Caspian. However, Jory was an experienced businessman. It seemed too tacky for him to do something like that.

“Joan, are you looking for me to talk about this?” There was a hint of sorrow in her eyes, perhaps it was the guilt she felt toward Caspian.

“Yes. I just wanted to ask when you are planning to tell Caspian about you and Jory,” Joan looked at the woman before her with a determined look on her face.

She had hoped that Nancy would come clean to Caspian about everything. However, it seemed like Nancy did not have the same intention in mind.

“Okay, Joan. I will tell him everything, including the thing with Jory.” Nancy suddenly changed her mind.

Caspian would always be the first to notice when Nancy was home, and he made it a habit to take her bag from her. However, it was different that day.

Nancy was puzzled to not see Caspian.

“Caspian? Caspian?” Nancy called out his name.

However, Caspian was deep in his thoughts and did not give her any reaction.

“Caspian! Caspian!” Nancy kept calling.

This was her first time not being greeted by Caspian after she had gone home.

She found the pin-drop silence in the house odd.

That’s weird. Nancy slowly made her way to the room.

After pushing the door open, she noticed that a man was laying in bed, and it was Caspian.
