His grip around the newspaper tightened immediately.

Vivian?

Huh.

How affectionate.

Also, how does he know that Vivian needs to pay her mom’s hospital bills?

Did Vivian tell him herself?

Finnick somehow felt his blood boil as the thought flashed past his mind.

She didn’t tell me about it, and yet she told Fabian?

Meanwhile, Vivian was done with the spaghetti. She brought the dish out of the kitchen and announced, “Time for lunch.”

She did not notice the unhappiness on Finnick’s face as she attempted to take off her apron. However, she struggled to do so as the knots were all tangled up behind her back.

Finnick looked up and saw her struggling. He slowly got up from the sofa, walked towards her, and held onto her hands. “Let me do it.”

His presence was unmistakable. As he spoke, the hot air from his mouth blew past her neck and made her cheeks go red. She quickly retracted her hand and thanked him.

Finnick kept quiet as he helped her untie the apron. Unfortunately, Vivian’s attempt earlier turned it into a dead knot.

“Ah…” Vivian became nervous as the man stood close to her. She had to distract herself by speaking. “Who was it earlier?”

Finnick’s hand froze for a moment, but he quickly responded, “It was Fabian.”

It was Vivian’s turn to freeze.

“Aren’t you going to ask me what he sent you?” Fabian continued, seeing that Vivian remained silent.

She gulped down and chuckled sarcastically. “Probably something to humiliate me.”

“No.” Finnick finally undid the knot and took the apron off for her. “He said he could lend you the money you need to pay your mom’s hospital bills.”
