Never Late, Never Away Chapter 606
“Tell me about it. So many people were buying it then and I didn’t get to buy it so many times when I tried to.”
The man smiled at that. “There was one time when you queued for such a long time but it was all sold out by the time it was your turn. You were so upset the whole afternoon. I had to skip my last class the next day just to buy that dish for you.”
“That’s right,” Vivian replied with a nod. “But who told you to get three portions? Were you trying to feed me like a pig?”

At the sight of such a happy Vivian, Fabian wished that they could just go back in time. He wished that he didn’t go overseas and that they were still together. They would have gotten married after graduating and had a kid, and they would their happy life together after that.
But now, all these could only happen in his dreams as she no longer belonged to him.

“When are you leaving?” Vivian asked.
“The morning after tomorrow.”
She nodded. “You have to take good care of yourself, okay?”
She didn’t say anything about sending him off at the airport since she knew that he wouldn’t allow her to go. What’s the point even if I go? I’d only feel even more miserable.
Fabian heaved a sigh of relief when Vivian didn’t suggest sending him off. He didn’t want her to go at all. He was afraid that he might be reluctant to leave if he saw her. But he knew that if Vivian were to suggest it, he would never reject it.
