A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2149

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2149

They were right. Things would definitely die down at the end of the day. All these arguments did was to add spice to our daily lives.

However, how am I supposed to explain to Larry right now? She suddenly felt dejected again.

“What are you doing here all alone?” A familiar voice piped up.

“Dustin? What are you doing here?” Joan looked at him with curiosity and disbelief.

Shouldn’t he be at work at the supermarket right now? Where did he find the time to chill out here?

“I’m here for a break,” Dustin answered her slowly.

Did something happen at the supermarket? Or was he just in a bad mood?

“What happened? Are you upset?” he asked her softly as he slowly made his way to her.

“Oh no, I’m fine. I’m here for a break, just like you,” she replied with an awkward smile.

I can’t tell him about my problems with Larry! These are the problems that we should keep to ourselves.

“Did something happen between you and Larry?” Dustin looked at her suspiciously.

Even though she did not say anything, he knew that her desolation definitely had something to do with Larry. What else could affect a woman’s mood apart from relationship issues?

“No, it’s just that I haven’t been to the beach for a long time. I just wanted to come here and take a look,” Joan said quietly.

It’s probably not as simple as that. Dustin murmured in acknowledgment.

In the past, I’ve given up a lot for you, but you are determined to be with that jerk, Larry. And here you are now, feeling sad.

“Do you need help?”

“No need. How could I get you involved in this kind of thing? I’m fine,” Joan immediately replied.

“In a few more days, I guess…”

Caiden, who was in the hospital, was very worried at that moment. When he did not see Joan, he was so worried to the extent that his chest felt like it had taken a beating.

“What happened to you, Mr. Owens? You don’t look too good,” the nurse came over to ask him softly.

Of course I don’t feel good! Joan hadn’t appeared for one whole day!

“Could I trouble you to help me make a phone call?” Caiden asked earnestly.

The nurse immediately agreed when she saw his grim face. It must be something very serious, she thought. However, she could not help but burst out laughing after Caiden explained his request.

“What are you laughing about? This is a serious matter!” Caiden looked rather displeased as he said quietly.

Yes, he is very serious about this. But this is too much, isn’t it?

He is asking me to call Joan and lie that he had suddenly taken for the worse. All because he missed her so much and wanted her to be at the hospital. Why can’t he just call her directly?
