Never Late, Never Away Chapter 287
The personal assistant finally put his mind at ease upon hearing Mark’s words. Mr. Norton surely is a guileful person. He always plans ahead while taking everything into consideration.
Then, he heard Mark’s comment in an almost inaudible voice. “It seems like I have underestimated my future daughter-in-law.”
The next day, Vivian and Finnick left the Norton Residence early in the morning.
Before they departed, the elder Mr. Norton reminded them to take all the supplements with them for the umpteenth time. He even said he would ask someone to send them to Finnick’s house if they didn’t return to the Norton Residence once a month to get new supplements.
It was the first time Vivian felt pressured because of the elder’s high hopes for her to get pregnant.
The housemaid started preparing the herbal remedy for Vivian as soon as she arrived home.
“Are you really going to listen to your grandpa and let me take all those supplements? Do you really think I need them?” asked Vivian.
Finnick replied in his usual tone, “Just do as I say. It won’t do you any harm.”
He has obviously resumed his usual indifference. As she looked at the stern and domineering man sitting in front of her, Vivian started to miss the cute Finnick at the amusement park that night.
He already returned to his old self though only one night had passed.
It didn’t take long for the housemaid to bring her the bowl of herbal medicine and urge her to finish it before it turned cold.
Vivian pouted while looking at the bowl that was still steaming hot. Since she was little, she had always hated taking medicine. The supplements and herbal remedies were no exception because they tasted just like medicine.
“Drink it,” Finnick urged.
For a moment, Vivian felt as if she was a warrior going to the battlefield to face her biggest enemy, and Finnick was the ruthless commander ordering her to charge forward.
Finnick looked at her in confusion when he saw her picking up the bowl hesitantly just to put it down once again.
Vivian pouted in reluctance. “I know it tastes horrible from the smell of it!”
Finnick couldn’t help smiling because it was rare for her to behave like a child.
However, he was determined not to let her have her way this time because it would be wasteful to throw the expensive herbal medicine away. With that, he took the spoon and gently brought the medicine close to her lips. “Let me feed you.”
Vivian’s eyes widened as she had never expected him to treat her with such patience. Without a choice, she took a sip of it.
