Never Late, Never Away Chapter 552
“Vivian, are you okay?” A voice from the entrance interrupted Vivian’s thoughts, and she turned around to find Hunter running towards her.
She realized that the position she and Finnick could easily be misinterpreted, so she instinctively pushed him away.
Hunter, however, did not notice anything. All he could think about was whether Vivian was hurt as he held on to her shoulders and inspected. He let out a sigh of relief when he confirmed that there were no injuries on Vivian.
“Did you know how worried I was? Never let yourself be in danger like that ever again!”
Vivian felt a little awkward with how intimate Hunter sounded, but she understood that he was sincerely concerned about her well-being. So she answered him in a calm manner, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Beside her, Finnick’s expression had darkened into something cold and rather terrifying. This man again. What’s their relationship? Why is he touching her like this!
His terrifying aura was so strong that even Hunter felt it. Thus, Hunter let go of Vivian, straightened up, and stared down at Finnick with an indescribable sense of envy from within.
It was obvious to Hunter that Vivian had feelings for the man in front of him since she was even willing to risk her life for him, and he realized that there would be a lot more obstacles between him and Vivian because of it.
Although Hunter had to admit that Finnick was remarkable in many aspects, he himself was just as impressive, so there was no way he would back down in the pursuit of Vivian’s affection.
On top of that, Finnick failed to hold on to her. This meant that there were some inherent flaws in their relationship since they would not have separated otherwise. Hunter was not someone who believed that a broken mirror was ever fixable.
At that moment, both men could see the determination in each other’s eyes, and no one wanted to be the first to look away as that was an indication of backing down to them. Neither of them would back down when it came to Vivian.
Meanwhile, Vivian had roughly figured out what was going on between the two men, and she was thinking to herself in a somewhat self-deprecating manner. Never in my life would I had thought that two men would be fighting over me like that.
