Never Late, Never Away Chapter 450
After a moment of thought, Finnick looked at Vivian, who was having her breakfast with her head lowered, and spoke, “Vivian, regarding what we were discussing last night…”
Vivian tightened her hold on the fork in her hands in reaction to Finnick’s persistence on that issue. Did he really want me to abort the child so badly?
After a few moments of hesitation, Finnick continued, “Vivian, please stop being stubborn and listen to me. We really cannot have this child.”
“Me being stubborn?” Vivian could no longer hold in her anger. “Finnick, this is our child. Even if you disagree, it’s still a precious life. How could you be so heartless and ask me to abort it?” Vivian exploded in anger.
Upon hearing Vivian’s words, Finnick’s face darkened. “Do you mean to say that you’d still want the child even if the child is not mine?”
“What do you mean by that?” Vivian was confused at what Finnick said. “Why wouldn’t it be? What are you trying to say?”
Finnick went silent with his lips tightly pressed shut.
Vivian shrugged that thought off and assumed that Finnick had only said that out of anger. “Finnick, this is my child, and I would never let anyone harm it.”
The dining room turned silent as Finnick did not respond. There was so much tension between them as neither were willing to budge.
“You have to abort the child.” Finnick declared a few moments later, got up, and left the house.
There was no point in insisting further as Vivian showed no signs of willingness to budge. Hence, it was best for them to both cool down while he came up with other solutions.
Clang!
Vivian slammed a plate on the floor while tears rolled down her face.
