Never Late, Never Away Chapter 364
Evelyn smiled at Benedict. “My godparents treat me very well. They channeled the attention for their deceased daughter on me and showered me with great love. Don’t worry, Ben. I’m good.”
She assured him and then continued, “Few months ago when I was traveling with my friends, I tripped and fell. I knocked my head on a piece of big rock and fainted.
“When I woke up, I was able to recall my identity and my past memories came back to me. I came looking for you all at once.”
She took a glance and Finnick and then bowed her head. “Just that…” In a still small voice, she said, “I didn’t expect…”
Although her sentence was incomplete, everyone knew what she wanted to say. Just that I didn’t expect to see Finnick was already married.
Finnick noticed the sorrow and helplessness in Evelyn’s eyes when she looked at him. He was slightly moved.
Finnick broke the silence indifferently. “Good to know that you’re fine now.” His tone was very casual and plain as if he was talking to a friend he had not met for years, rather than an ex-girlfriend.
With only one sentence from Finnick and no further concern from him, Evelyn’s heart ached. Rumor has it that he’s forgotten about me. Is it true that he has fallen head over heels for Vivian?
Putting aside her own emotions, Evelyn walked to Vivian and sat down beside her on the sofa.
Evelyn let out an awkward smile. “Vivian, I didn’t hide my true identity on purpose. When I heard that Finnick was married, I was so curious about his wife. When your senior editor wanted to interview me, I appointed you.
“After chatting with you, I think you’re a great person and I really wanted to be friends with you. I was afraid to tell you who I was, in case you no longer wanted to be close to me. I don’t want to lose a friend.
“Vivian, I really like you. I also think that you and Finnick make a good match. If he truly likes you, I’ll give you both my utmost blessing.”
Holding Vivian’s hand, Evelyn uttered each word carefully, “Could you forgive me, please?”
