Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1001
Finnick could hardly contain his happiness upon seeing her nod. He was grateful that she had returned to him again.
He stepped forward and gave her a hug without a care for the others in the room. “Honey, I’ll take good care of you. I won’t make you cry. You’ll be happy for the rest of your life, I promise.”
He pleaded, “Don’t be mad at me. I didn’t mean it. Do you know how much I suffered when you lost your mind? I’d stare at your photos and sob, not daring to cry out loud lest you call me a sissy. I really miss the times where you yell at me. Honey, don’t leave me. Will you forgive me? I really miss you. I really do.”
Tears were rolling down his cheeks by now. Vivian felt a small patch of wetness on her shoulder as he spoke. She knew without looking that he was sobbing profusely. She shoved him away in disdain and turned to leave.
“Honey, don’t leave. Please don’t leave me!” Finnick took her arm in desperation. I can’t let her leave me and spend the rest of my days staring at her photos longingly.
“Stop crying. This is embarrassing.” It turns out, Vivian only wanted to get a napkin for Finnick. She was speechless at the man’s reaction.
“Honey, you’ve forgiven me?” Finnick was overwhelmed with happiness. At the sight of the dumbstruck Finnick, Vivian shook her head in exasperation.
“You’re crying in front of Ben and the doctor. Can I not forgive you?” Vivian answered with a grin. Back then, Finnick chose himself. There was nothing wrong with that, so Vivian pardoned him readily.
After coming back to her senses, Vivian realized she got angry at him for nothing. Hopefully, Finnick would forget I’ve ever done that. That was too embarrassing!
