A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 428

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 428

Vivian accepted Finnick’s explanation without a trace of doubt in her expression.

Taking his hands into hers, Vivian realized that she did not know what to say or how she could comfort him. She could only grip his hands firmly, hoping that it would give him some strength to pull through it.

Having figured what Vivian was doing, Finnick tapped her hand. “It’s alright. I will sort it out, and you don’t have to worry. Right now, your health should be your utmost priority.”

A wave of emotions surged through Vivian’s veins, hearing Finnick’s words of concern. Feeling touched and hurt for him, she got up to hug him and whispered, “Of course. Everything will turn out fine.”

“Yes, it will.” Finnick returned her hug.

In the past two days, he had been out and about, trying to settle the dispute among his clients. He also had to fork out the time to meet with the reporters, and it was physically and mentally draining, to say the least. Being in Vivian’s arms made his stress melt away in an instant.

For a long time, the two of them stayed in the same position. At some point, Vivian realised that Finnick was putting more weight on her, as though he was about to crush her.

“Finnick,” she softly called out when she could not hold him up any longer. However, there was no response.

“Finnick?” There was no response again. Raising her head to look in Finnick’s direction, Vivian was amused to see the man sleeping.

Cautiously, Vivian leaned back and allowed Finnick to lay on the bed. After she covered him with a blanket, she caressed his face with her heart aching for him. Looking at how he was fast asleep, he was probably tired out from the past two days.

Afraid that she would wake him up, Vivian retracted her hand and quietly stayed beside him.

On the other hand, Evelyn and Mark were meeting at a hidden restaurant.

“Of course.” She let out a light chuckle. With her eyes filled with menace, she continued, “I told Finnick that my brother and I saved her. Furthermore, I also said that when we arrived, she was already touched by the men.”

“He believed you?” Mark was somewhat surprised. Vivian was not stupid and would tell her husband if that was not true. Would Finnick still misunderstand the situation then?

“I spent some money to bribe a doctor and settled it,” Evelyn proudly announced. “Having been through a traumatic experience, she had selective memory loss. Mr. Norton, what do you think about this reason?”

Impressed, Mark looked at Evelyn, surprised that she had so many tricks up her sleeves.

“As long as there is a thorn in Finnick’s heart, the gap between them will only grow. When the time comes, no matter what I do, Finnick would willingly pull himself away from her,” Evelyn predicted.

Mark nodded, listening to what Evelyn said. Inwardly, he was giving her a big thumbs up for the idea. She is brilliant and can turn the false into the truth. I can’t believe she even tricked a clever man like Finnick. It looks like I should be careful when I work with her in the future.
