Never Late, Never Away Chapter 617
Benedict was clearly worried about her, so Vivian flashed a comforting smile. “I’m fine. Please close the door behind you.”
Under Vivian’s insistence, Benedict agreed. Before leaving, he reminded her. “Call me if you need me. I’ll be right downstairs.”
When they were both left alone in the office, Vivian finally looked up and spared Finnick an icy glance. “Why are you here?”
Finnick felt his heart clenched in pain at how indifferent she was to him. She still treats others the same like before, but we’re practically strangers now.
Finnick snapped back to reality and gazed at Vivian. “Vivian, I’m here to apologize to you. I’m sorry for having misunderstood you back then.”
Remorse filled his gaze. Vivian must’ve been so upset back then as I didn’t trust her.
As he recalled how he persuaded Vivian to abort the baby again and again, Finnick wanted to punch himself in the face. When she found out about her miscarriage, she must’ve been heartbroken. That was why she sent me the divorce agreement and left the country without saying goodbye.
I didn’t know anything, so she went through the ordeal alone. I’ve failed miserably as a husband and a father!
“What did you misunderstand?” Vivian inquired. It was a question she clearly knew the answer to.
“Mark told me everything. Those men didn’t rape you. I’m really sorry for not trusting you, Vivian. It was all my fault.” He implored, “Can you please forgive me?” He looked at her with pleading eyes.
Yet, Vivian was unfazed. “Finally, you realized that child you insisted on getting rid of was yours.”
As Larry was alive and well, Vivian didn’t seem to be upset. Finnick, who had no idea of his son’s existence, was devastated.
