A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 754

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 754

Just as Ms. Booker had her back turned to him, he scampered across the living room as fast as his little feet could carry him. Soon, he was out of the door. After he had successfully gone out, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled naughtily. Next, he was going to execute his grand master plan.

“Larry, the bread is done! Come and eat. I’ve added in your favorite sweet corn. It smells heavenly,” Ms. Booker called out to Larry while standing at the bottom of the stairway. Unsurprisingly, she was met with total silence.

“Larry, come down quickly. The bread will not taste good after it has cooled down,” Ms. Booker said as she walked up the stairs to the second floor. Alas, Larry was nowhere to be seen as she entered the playroom.

“Larry? Larry!” shouted Ms. Booker in a panic as she had no idea where he had gone. Her heart was palpitating with fear. She called out his name loudly. Again, there was no response.

She searched every nook and cranny of the house, and she couldn’t find the young boy who was under her care. She broke down completely. Could something have happened to Larry? With Larry gone, what was she supposed to say to Mr. Morrison and Ms. Vivian? She fervently hoped that the young Mr. Larry was not in any danger.

On the other side, Finnick wanted some answers from Vivian. “Vivian, back then, why did you refuse to see me? But you let Benedict… “

Bzzz… Bzzz… Bzzz… Finnick didn’t get to finish his query before being interrupted by Vivian’s vibrating phone. Seeing that it was a call from Ms. Booker who was taking care of Larry, Vivian said to Finnick apologetically, “I have to take this.”

As soon as she swiped the green button, Ms. Booker’s frantic sobs from the other end could be heard. “Miss, Mr. Larry… Mr. Larry has gone missing! I couldn’t find him anywhere… “

“What? Tell me what happened!” The moment she heard that Larry was missing, Vivian went into a panic immediately. Her hand that was holding the phone started shaking uncontrollably.

“Vivian, just what has happened? Please tell me so that I can assist you,” Finnick asked, clearly not convinced. She was so nervous during the call, how could it be nothing?

“It’s really nothing. Please don’t ask anymore. Just send me home as fast as you can,” Vivian responded snappily. She was extremely anxious and not in the mood to keep going back and forth with Finnick.

Seeing as Vivian was vexed, Finnick could only keep his questions to himself. However, his heart ached. Did she not trust him now? That was why she refused to tell him anything. Without another word, Finnick stepped hard on the accelerator. Soon, his car sped ahead all of the other vehicles on the road in the direction of the Morrison residence.

The moment they reached, Vivian unbuckled her seatbelt as fast as lightning and said to Finnick, “You can go. Thank you for driving me back, and sorry for the trouble.”
