A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1926

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1926

Gabriella stood by a corner and watched the two of them leave. She observed them like a hungry wolf, waiting to pounce on its prey.

My dear Joan, I’m coming for you! Gabriella thought to herself as she clenched her fists.

“Dad!” Lucius threw himself into Larry’s arms as soon as he arrived home.

Larry was very pleased to see the boy and tightly hugged him back.

“Dad, you’ll only love Mom forever, right?” Lucius suddenly piped.

Oh my, how can he be interested in love at such a young age? Larry looked at him questioningly as his lips curled into a grin.

“What’s wrong, Lucius? Are you in love?” Larry pinched Lucius’s cheeks playfully.

“Dad, a good man should only love one woman for the rest of his life,” the young boy said deliberately.

What’s going on? Why’s he behaving so weirdly today? Larry looked at him suspiciously.

“Lucius, did you hear something today at school?” he asked softly.

Lucius glanced gloomily at Joan, who was busy cooking in the kitchen. Noting his hesitance, Larry quickly carried the child into his room.

“Lucius, you must tell me if there’s anything wrong. We’re a family, and I don’t want to see you or Mom getting hurt,” Larry said seriously.

“My classmates called Mom a homewrecker after school today. They even said she took away the husband of her bestie…” Lucius uttered with his head hung low.

Larry’s gaze darkened as soon as he heard that sentence.

Why are all these past matters being brought up again? In fact, everything that’s been circulating is all fake!

Damn, it seems like you’re ready for a battle, Gabriella!

Larry clenched his fists tightly, anger flashing in his eyes. I would have sent you to jail if it wasn’t for the destroyed evidence!

“Hold up!” A man ordered as the children went silent.

They stopped in their tracks and turned around slowly to face the mysterious voice. The children took a few steps back as they watched Larry approach them slowly.

“What did you all just say?” he asked emotionlessly.

Lucius instantly knew Larry was mad and was about to lose his temper. The man was never one to lose his temper easily. However, he’d become a demon once he does.

“We weren’t talking about you, sir,” a boy answered cutely.

Larry smiled as he tapped the child’s shoulder lightly.

“I know you weren’t. But do you know what you’re doing was defamation and you would be held legally responsible? However, you’re just children. Perhaps your parents would have to face the consequences on your behalf?” Larry threatened softly.

“No! I don’t want my Dad to go to prison!” a young girl cried out.

The group of children instantly panicked as they turned and glanced at their leader.
