Never Late, Never Away Chapter 276
Mark was the reason why Finnick pretended to be a cripple. Finnick suspected Mark had something to do with the accident which befell him ten years ago. Hence, she was also vigilant around Mark. I wonder what he wants to talk about.
Mark, on the other hand, was completely at ease as he offered Vivian to sit. “Have a seat. Let’s have a chat.”
He poured himself a glass of whiskey on ice and asked, “What do you want to drink? I have coffee, red wine, whisky and fruit juice.”
Vivian replied, “Fruit juice is fine.”
Mark appeared warm and endearing while speaking to her in a friendly tone. If Finnick had not warned her to be careful around him, she might have been cheated by Mark’s facade.
Mark suddenly changed the topic and asked, “Did you have a fight with Finnick today? You don’t seem to be happy around him.”
“No, we are fine.” Vivian didn’t want to go into details about her relationship with Finnick.
Mark glanced at her. She is very reserved around me. I guess she doesn’t really like me.
Mark decided to change the subject again, and said, “Did you know that Finnick was very playful as a child? He used to destroy Grandpa’s furniture and Grandpa would always chase him with a stick to punish him. Finnick soon matured and did well in school. As a result, Grandpa doted on him. When he and Evelyn were kidnapped, I was extremely anxious…”
“Sorry, I need to go now,” she interrupted. I don’t want to stay here any longer. He makes me feel extremely on edge.
I don’t want to listen to his lies as well. She was disgusted by Mark’s behavior, especially when she knew he was the mastermind behind Finnick’s kidnapping and the fact that he was blatantly lying to her now.
Mark curved his lips into a thin smile and said, “Stop right there. We rarely get to see each other. I want to talk to you.”
Talk? To me?
