A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 148

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 148

Every word that Vivian said tugged at Finnick’s heartstrings.

He was completely touched, and he held on to Vivian’s hands tightly.

For so many years, no one had really believed him, not even his grandfather.

Even though he generally didn’t care about how others viewed him, Vivian’s opinion mattered a lot to him.

He would be deeply hurt if she too believed he had abandoned his then-girlfriend.

But to his relief, she put her trust in him completely.

Looking into Vivian’s sparkling eyes, Finnick felt a sense of warmth in his heart. At the same time, a wry smile appeared on his face as he said, “But Vivian, sometimes even I don’t believe myself.”

“What do you mean?” she asked in surprise.

“When this case was being investigated ten years ago, I underwent hypnosis and psychological evaluation to prove that what I said was true. The experts concluded that I wasn’t lying, but one of the psychologists mentioned that the trauma I experienced could have affected my memory. He said that my brain might have created a false memory because subconsciously, I did not dare to face the mistakes I made. Because of that, I somehow forgot how I cut the rope around my hands and abandoned Evelyn,” he explained.

“How is that possible?” she asked.

Finnick has always been a confident and self-assured person. How could his brain possibly play tricks on him?

Finnick smiled bitterly and touched Vivian’s cheek, he then said, “I didn’t think it was possible either, but I was rather scared back then, to be honest. I was a lot younger then, after all.”

Vivian was thunderstruck by his remarks.

That’s right. We’re talking about an incident that happened ten years ago, Finnick was just a child then. Such a terrifying incident would definitely have traumatized him.

But after a split second, she held onto Finnick’s hands and said in an affirming tone, “No, even if it were ten years ago, I know you wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Hearing how determined she sounded, Finnick looked at her and smiled.
