Never Late, Never Away Chapter 127
Vivian couldn’t help but turn her head towards the side. When she did that, Finnick’s handsome face came into view, which startled her for a moment.
From that angle, she could clearly see how long and dense the man’s eyelashes were. In addition to his obsidian-like dark eyes, Finnick’s attractive features would put any girl, including Vivian, to shame.
As she observed how attentive Finnick was at treating her wound, Vivian couldn’t help but ask, “Finnick, can I ask you something?”
Finnick remained focused on applying medicine for Vivian and without lifting his head, he answered, “Go ahead.”
“Regarding the owner of that necklace… Is she your ex-girlfriend?” Vivian took a deep breath before asking.
Finnick froze for a moment before continuing with his actions and answered, “Yup.”
To Vivian’s surprise, the man did not seem to be avoiding this topic. As much as she was slightly relieved, she couldn’t help but ask again, “You like her a lot, right?”
Finnick finally looked up and met Vivian’s eyes.
His pitch-black eyes seemed to be bottomless and unfathomable to Vivian. She could only hear him say calmly, “Vivian, why are you asking about this?”
Vivian immediately regretted asking that question as she felt that she might have overstepped his boundaries. She replied softly, “Oh, it’s nothing. I just noticed that you always have a sad expression whenever you looked at that necklace.”
Finnick’s eyes flickered before he quickly looked down again and continued dressing Vivian’s wound.
Just as Vivian thought that Finnick did not wish to continue talking about it anymore, the man spoke.
“I have let her down.”
Vivian was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to her senses. Did he mean that he had let Evelyn down?
The woman felt a shiver down her spine.
Could it be that… he had really abandoned Evelyn ten years ago? Was that why he felt like he had let her down?
No.
That’s impossible.
