A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 279

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 279

At the sight of Vivian’s hesitation, Finnick could tell that she must have misunderstood him and chose to give him the cold shoulder.

If this went on unresolved, Vivian’s anger would boil over sooner or later.

“Vivian, I—” Finnick wanted to explain everything to Vivian, but the moment he opened his mouth, he realized he couldn’t exactly tell her everything now. It was still a secret, after all. He couldn’t just ruin the surprise.

He was forced to change the subject. “I was just settling some company stuff.”

After he finished his sentence, the two of them fell into an uncomfortable silence.

The air simmered with reproach.

Vivian started flipping the pages of a magazine, but it felt like she was reading a foreign language.

Deep down, she firmly believed that Finnick was calling to help Ashley and the Miller family. He had once promised to protect her and always stand up for her. What is this all about, then? How could he break his promise?

Finnick was thinking of telling Vivian about how Ashley had saved him when they were younger. After all, the misunderstanding was caused by a lack of communication.

Besides that, he also wanted to apologize to Vivian. He had to admit that it was unfair to her.

Finnick coughed lightly, breaking the stiff silence. “Vivian, to be honest, I actually have been busy with the Miller family’s matters for the few days.”

“I know. You don’t have to explain anything to me.” Suddenly, Vivian no longer felt like listening to him. The moment she heard ‘the Miller family,’ she became nauseous.

She could already imagine how pleased Ashley looked. When they met at the door just now, she had already spotted Ashley’s arrogant expression.

“Vivian, you don’t get it.” Finnick started panicking at Vivian’s indifference. “Actually, Ashley—”

Abruptly, Vivian put her magazine down and stood up. “Sorry, I have to use the bathroom.”

At this point, Finnick felt like giving up. He hadn’t expected Vivian to hate Ashley so much. Why can’t she just let me explain?

It was already bad enough without Vivian knowing that Ashley was the mastermind behind everything that happened two years ago. If she knew about it, she’d definitely hate Ashley even more.

Vivian locked herself in the bathroom, her eyes stinging with tears.

She felt that Finnick would never understand her point of view.

“Vivian,” Finnick called in a low voice. “Please hear me out. There’s a reason why I treated Ashley that way.”
