Never Late, Never Away Chapter 100
“I was just thinking if you were unhappy,” Vivian replied honestly.
“Unhappy about what?”
She hesitated for a moment. “Unhappy because I got hurt from saving Fabian.”
Vivian deliberately replied in a soft voice. It was akin to a fluttering feather on his heart.
“Yes, I am mad.” Finnick’s deep-set gaze warmed up at her admission of guilt.
Vivian did not expect Finnick to be so straightforward. She lifted her head and met his gaze.
He titled his brows slightly at the woman’s adorably puzzled expression. “Aren’t you going to ask why I’m mad?”
“I-I think I know why you’re mad,” Vivian stuttered.
“Enlighten me.”
“Because I’m your wife.” Vivian blinked her eyes. “I don’t think any man could bear with the fact that his wife got hurt because of an ex-boyfriend…”
The dim in Finnick’s gaze was undetectable to unheeding eyes.
He did not know whether to feel angry or helpless at her reply.
Does this stupid woman still think that I’m only feeling possessive over her?
How obtuse could she get?
“Finnick?” Vivian broke the silence when she noticed that he wasn’t answering her. “I’m sorry. I was inconsiderate of your feelings this time. I will be extra careful next time.”
Finnick put down the chicken soup in his hand. The sound of the spoon touching the bowl was crisp amidst the pin-drop silence between them. Vivian was taken aback by the sudden move.
“Vivian, so this is why you think I’m mad?” Finnick looked at her in the eyes. She nodded in response blankly. In return, his gaze darkened further. “What if I say I’m mad not only because you’re my wife?”
Vivian was stumped.
