A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 541

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 541

“There was no one by her side back then, and I was the one who led to her demise. Hence, when she asked me to stay with her, I was in no position to refuse. I had no choice but to bring her home and take care of her.”

Not expecting this backstory at all, Vivian’s resolve was wavering. From Finnick’s explanation, it seemed understandable that he chose to stay with Evelyn back then.

Realising that her resolve was wavering, Vivian quickly gathered her wandering thoughts. So what? When Finnick chose to divorce me, it’s because I’m not as important to him as Evelyn.

Furthermore, since he’s already made up his mind to take care of Eve, and has been doing so for five years; why is he saying that he wants to pursue me again? What is he trying to do?

Upon that thought, Vivian started to struggle again. “Then, you should take good care of her forever. What are you doing now? Do you want to be a two-timer? Let me tell you this, Finnick. You can dream on!”

Finnick grabbed the railings tightly, not letting her escape.

“That thought has never crossed my mind before. I’ve always loved you, Vivian. The only reason why I took care of Evelyn for five years is that I feel guilty. I swear, I only see her as a friend. I initially planned to look for you at A Nation after Evelyn could accept the fact that she was crippled and could live independently again. However, I discovered that I couldn’t wait any longer.”

After a slight pause, he continued, “Vivian, I love you and no one else. In these five years, I have been missing you so much that I’m going crazy. Now, you’ve finally returned. Let’s get back together again, okay?”

From Vivian’s memory, Finnick was not someone who would be willing to confess his love so directly. With a personality like his, it was already good that he would smile at you.

Yet, she heard Finnick, who was bad at expressing his own feelings, declaring his love for her over and over again. To be honest, she was a bit touched.
