A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2750

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2750

A New Rumor

Joan explained in a chagrined voice, telling Dustin the truth of the matter and everything that transpired. Of course, Dustin chose to believe her despite the intense public opinion then. It was fortunate that she wasn’t a public figure. If she were a celebrity or actress, her life would be really miserable in the future.

“It’s okay. Everything will be fine after some time.” The person on the hospital bed feigned an expression of nonchalance as she snacked on some fruits.

Nevertheless, Dustin naturally knew that Joan’s emotions were actually a chaotic mess right then. He stared at her thoughtfully. “Have you investigated this matter? And who exactly orchestrated everything?”

“I don’t know, but perhaps this is all a coincidence.” Joan shook her head as she mulled it over. I’ll stop brooding over it if it was merely a coincidence, but I’m just worried that someone will continue hassling me.

As a matter of course, there was someone whom she suspected at heart, but she wasn’t certain of her culpability yet.

In fact, it was none other than Della. However, at the thought that she didn’t return to Chanaea, doubt crept into her…

“Could it be Ms. Duff?” Dustin questioned warily, his brows furrowed.

“I have no idea.” Joan shook her head. Likewise, she wore a frown as she contemplated other possibilities. Unbeknownst to them, their entire interaction was being recorded.

Therefore, a new rumor spawned.

Joan Watts is a two-timer!

Joan Watts has a wandering eye!

The condemnations on the Internet skyrocketed, so much so that Joan no longer dared to leave the house anymore. Conversely, Dustin wasn’t at all bothered, probably because he was already accustomed to such a thing.

“What on earth is happening, Dustin? Rumors between you and Joan are really flying all over the place,” Abelyn grumbled irately as she flipped through the newspaper.

“It’s over between me and Joan,” Dustin stated placidly while munching on an apple.

“Over, you said? Look at this! All this is gossip of you both!”

He had been waiting for Joan’s call, yet she never called him…

As the matter grew increasingly complicated, Joan stopped going to the flower shop and Delilah’s house. Instead, she rented a place outside and lived alone.

Of course, that was merely a short-term plan, for she would still return to her previous routine when the matter had blown over.

“When are you coming back, Joan?” Delilah sounded rather anxious on the phone.

“I’m not coming back tonight, Ms. Young.”

In a flash, Delilah’s guard went up. What is she planning to do now?

“I’ll live outside for some time first, Ms. Young,” Joan hastily explained with a nervous expression on her face.

Oh, so that’s her plan. Breathing a sigh of relief, Delilah’s taut expression eased significantly.
