A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1822

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1822

Gabriella had been slightly annoyed when she found out about how Larry headed overseas to look for Joan, but at the same time, she was glad that the man had still thought of her when he returned.

She had no clue what Larry wanted to tell her.

“Can you please stop all your nonsense?” All of a sudden, Larry shot an angry glance at her.

What’s he talking about?

Gabriella knitted her brows and looked at him in confusion.

“Have you forgotten all about what you did? Fine. Let me do the honors of reminding you then.” The man took a sip of his coffee before continuing, “Someone kidnapped Joan.”

Oh. So he knew? Gabriella would never admit she had been the mastermind of the incident. He doesn’t have any evidence against me anyway.

“What?” She gasped aloud, acting as if she had not been aware of it.

Larry’s expression turned grim. Still trying to act innocent, I see. ”You should know what happened. You were the one who orchestrated the kidnap after all!”

“What are you talking about? What makes you think I knew where she was or what she was doing?” The woman was adamant about continuing to feign ignorance.

It was difficult for Larry to trust in her again; she had a horrible track record with him now.

Besides Gabriella, Larry could not think of anyone who would use such extreme measures to harm Joan.

“I’m really innocent, Larry.” Gabriella continued to defend herself. “I’ve been in the country this whole time.”

Larry snorted. Does she think I’m an idiot?

“Stop acting. I know you did everything,” Larry sneered, “You can deny it all you want, but I’m here to warn you not to cross the line. If anything bad happens to Joan again, you better watch it!” He grabbed his coat and stormed out of the café.

He’s still on her side!

A hard glint flashed through Gabriella’s eyes.

Joan, oh, Joan. Did you cast a spell on Larry? Why does he care so much for you?

I should have gotten rid of you when I had the chance. I guess I have to wait for another opportunity to arise to finish you off once and for all!

Joan shot a glance at him and shook her head.

“Hey, there’s something I want to show you. Come meet me right now,” Dustin voiced as soon as Joan answered the call.

What now?

After bidding Larry goodbye, Joan left the house to meet Dustin.

“Look.” A stack of photos that had been laid out by Dustin was on the table.

They were all Larry’s and Gabriella’s intimate photos.

“Is everything all right between you and Larry?” Dustin asked, worried about her.

The man did not think of Larry as a scumbag, but he believed it was not impossible for men to make mistakes in the absence of their loved ones.

“I’ve seen these photos before,” Joan stated.

“Larry has explained everything to me. Someone took these photos on purpose,” Joan elaborated.
