Never Late, Never Away Chapter 772
None of this would have ever happened, let alone the five-year separation.
Moreover, he had mistakenly thought that Vivian had been raped then and even wanted her to abort their own child. Even though he had given in to her, Finnick had still felt very uneasy.
Thinking back on it now, the whole fiesta was just ridiculous. He had actually believed the word of another woman and doubted his own wife.
As Finnick thought about the past, he wanted to slap himself as a punishment for being silly.
He knew he had been wrong. However, what was important now was the future.
He would never compromise on Vivian’s needs ever again, nor would he let her leave him.
Never again.
This was both his promise to Vivian and an encouragement for himself.
When he came to terms with everything, all Finnick wanted to do was to go home with Vivian. He’d have to admit his wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness.
Since Vivian’s mood seemed to be fine, Finnick called out to her.
“Vivian?”
“What’s is it?”
Vivian was neither a hypocritical nor a petty person. As soon as she found out that it was all a misunderstanding, she no longer blamed Finnick for anything.
She simply stared at him, wondering what he wanted to say.
“Vivian, let’s go home.” Finnick was unsure of what else to say. He just held her hand and waited for her response.
“Okay.” The couple then walked hand in hand across the field, both feeling at ease while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
When Finnick realized that Noah did not follow them, he turned and said, “Go back yourself.”
“If I’d trusted you then, I wouldn’t have believed that you were in the room with… Then, Evelyn’s plans would never have been successful.”
As she thought back on it, Vivian realized that it was Evelyn’s voice in the room that had caused her to believe that Finnick was cheating on her.
If she had not misunderstood then, things would not have come so far.
“Well, women love to overthink. You’re a woman too, so it’s understandable.” Finnick chuckled as he patted her on the head then took her hand again and continued walking.
“No, we have to confront Evelyn about this. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.” Vivian had always been someone who remained civil unless provoked. Since Evelyn had offended her first, she would not hesitate to retaliate now.
However, Evelyn was Finnick’s first love after all. Regardless of how he felt about her now, Vivian felt that it was better to talk things out before Evelyn.
After all, one’s first love was always the most memorable.
Finnick understood Vivian’s intentions and laughed. “You’re not the only one that wants to confront her.”
