Never Late, Never Away Chapter 601
“Yeah.” Noah knew that he was talking about Evelyn.
Looking at the focused Finnick, Noah hesitated for a bit and asked, “Mr. Norton, should you go meet Mrs. Norton? Now that you know she was framed?”
Perhaps a meet-up is necessary to resolve their misunderstandings.
Noah didn’t want to go on lying to someone who trusted him so much. He was on the verge of going crazy if he continued hiding the truth from Finnick.
But he did not have the courage to confess everything. He admitted that he was a coward. He did not want to face those predictable consequences.
Finnick stopped whatever he was doing upon hearing Noah. He was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
“Not now. We’ll talk about it later.” Finnick broke the silence and said. “You can get back to work.”
Noah felt caught in between. “Sure,” he acknowledged and left. He was a little hesitant but didn’t stop his pace nevertheless.
Finnick tightened his grip on the pen as he pursed his lips. He was yearning to meet Vivian, embrace her tightly, and let her know how much he missed her.
But he knew he was no right to do that now. He wanted to make Mark pay for the price. He had to take revenge for his dead child and punished every one of them who had hurt Vivian.
Only then would he be able to appear in front of her again to beg for her forgiveness. Yes, I will beg her. As long as she was willing to forgive, he was willing to stoop himself low.
Ever since Mark had come clean with Finnick, he had never been able to live in peace. He tried contacting Vivian, but not only did she not picked up, neither did she try to contact him back.
He wasn’t sure what Vivian meant by ignoring his calls. Would she actually hand his bribery evidence to the police? Mark really wasn’t able to sleep well in the past few nights. Whenever he shuts his eyes, he’d dream of getting arrested and would jolt up from sleep to find himself soaking in perspiration.
