A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 227

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 227

Emma brought her speech to an abrupt halt the moment she detected Finnick’s penetrating gaze. In the end, she murmured to herself to express her frustration, “If it weren’t because of you, the Miller family wouldn’t have to go through this series of misfortune either! Hmph! How dare you think so highly of yourself?”

Finnick scoffed, “Does that mean the Miller family is unwilling to adhere to the condition Vivian has imposed?”

As soon as Emma and Harvey heard Finnick’s rhetorical question, they fell into the vicious cycle of despair yet again.

They stared at Vivian in the eyes, signaling her to beg Finnick for mercy.

On the other hand, Vivian was infuriated because Harvey and Emma had humiliated her in front of Finnick.

Harvey begged, “Mr. Norton, please give us another chance!”

He turned around and reprimanded his wife, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and apologize to Vivian!”

Albeit reluctantly, Emma brought herself to beg for pardon. “Vivian, I’m sure you’re not going to take my words personally, right? Please, pay no heed to my words, I didn’t mean it.”

Emma could feel a chill down her spine as Finnick remained silent while glaring at her.

Immediately after Emma caught a glimpse of his penetrating gaze, she changed her tone and apologized again. “Vivian, I’m…”

She had a hard time apologizing because she couldn’t bring herself to cast her dignity as Vivian’s stepmother aside, but she was aware of the consequences of her action since Finnick had made himself clear. In the end, she had no choice but to apologize for the sake of the Miller family’s future. Otherwise, the lavish lifestyle she enjoyed the most would perish over the night should she refuse to apologize.

Finally, Emma muttered, “I’m so sorry, Vivian. Please forgive us for the things we have done to you back in the day.”

Even though Emma had apologized, Vivian wasn’t pleased because she was aware that her stepmother didn’t mean it.

Nevertheless, it was a miracle for Emma to admit her wrongdoings over the years.

I guess this is the best possible outcome… From now onwards, we’re no longer related to one another.

After Vivian made up her mind, she leaned over and told Finnick, “I’m tired.”

She was exhausted for real because she didn’t want to be around the bunch of hypocrites anymore.

Finnick’s heart wrenched when he noticed Vivian’s pair of swollen eyes. He felt a strong urge to teach the Miller family a lesson for offending the woman whom he loved wholeheartedly.
