A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 353

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 353

Putting on his shoes as he got ready to leave, Finnick turned to Vivian with a heavy heart.

“Vivian, Evelyn is already dead.” He left after leaving her with those words.

I have only you by my side to walk with me for the rest of my life. Evelyn was my past but you’re my present and future. Don’t you understand all these, Vivian?

He did not express it explicitly to her.

Thereafter, Vivian collapsed onto the floor, crumbled on her knees and wailed her heart out.

That’s true. Evelyn’s dead. Why am I making her my imaginary rival?

She realized that she was being ridiculous. Finnick had never hidden anything from his past from her. Moreover, Evelyn lost her life due to Finnick, so she should not have behaved the way she did.

However, all of the things relating to Evelyn kept creeping up in her life. From her favorite perfume, flower, fashion, to the news all over the Internet, the frequency of Evelyn appearing in Vivian’s life was too high. She was going insane thinking about all these, especially Finnick’s attitude toward the matter.

She frantically removed the clothes and chucked them into the trash can. She darted into the bathroom and scrubbed herself harshly under the running shower. Hot or cold matter felt nothing to her. All she wanted was to wash herself thoroughly clean from her tears along with any possible traces of the impact Evelyn had on her.

Vivian came out after an hour. Dressed in her pajamas, she curled herself into a fetal position. Scanning the spacious but empty room, she buried her head in between her knees and broke down, wailing uncontrollably.

Not knowing how she fell asleep the night before, she was awoken by a series of phone calls the next morning. None of it had a caller ID shown.

She picked it up and answered in a coarse voice, “Hello…”

“Vivian, is that you?” the other party tried to confirm her identity.
