Finnick ignored Vivian as he quickly sucked on her finger.
Vivian instantly felt a wave of electric current ran through her finger as a warm and moist sensation hit her. A tingling sensation had also spread all over her body within seconds.
She could feel her cheeks heating up, yet she could not bring herself to look at Finnick’s handsome face. She was flustered and shifted her gaze before saying, “Finnick, it’s- it’s okay…”
She was so nervous that she stammered upon her words. Then, Finnick let go of her hands and lowered his gaze to see her face as red as an apple.
“Give me a second. I’ll go grab a band-aid.” He laughed lightly and left the kitchen.
When Finnick left, Vivian felt that she could breathe again and quickly took a few deep breaths.
Soon enough, Finnick returned with a band-aid in hand. He tore open the band-aid and carefully wrapped it around Vivian’s finger. His eyes shone brightly like obsidian stones that were filled with seriousness. It seemed like he was looking at some precious item instead of a wounded finger.
When he had carefully put on the band-aid, he eyed the kitchen and frowned. “There you go. Maybe we should save cooking for another time. Why don’t we order some takeout tonight?”
Vivian could not think straight as she was filled with embarrassment. Hence, she agreed with everything Finnick had said.
The couple entered the living room as Finnick began scrolling through the takeout website. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, “What would you like to have?”
“Anything will do.”
Finnick nodded as he typed away on his laptop.
At this moment, Finnick’s cellphone rang on the coffee table.
Finnick did not lift his head, but asked casually, “Who is it?”
Vivian glanced at the caller ID and answered, “It’s Noah.”
“Could you please turn on the speaker?”
Vivian did as she was told, and moments later, Noah’s voice rang from the phone.
“Mr. Norton,” Noah called. For some reason, he sounded a little excited.
“Speak,”
