Never Late, Never Away Chapter 720
“But…” Hunter added, but again, he stopped halfway through his sentence.
“What is it?” Feeling tensed again, Evelyn quickly asked in response. Did something go wrong?
“But now it suddenly occurred to me that I don’t like Vivian that much anymore. She doesn’t feel as interesting to me after we’ve slept together. Huh. I thought she’s the one this time but I didn’t expect that she’ll become an eyesore to me after getting what I wanted from her.” Hunter feigned disappointment over the phone.
“Now that I think about it, remarks like ‘I’m fond of her’ which I’ve made to you previously sounded really naive. I guess it was because I haven’t tasted what I wanted then. Please don’t take those awful words that I’ve said seriously. Allow me to extend my apology to you here.”
Evelyn was ecstatic at what Hunter said to her over the phone. Didn’t I say that Vivian is just a cheap tart? Hunter would never fall for her.
“It’s okay.” Evelyn laughed as she replied, “Don’t worry about it. We’ve been friends for so many years. I won’t take it personally.”
“I’m glad that you’re not mad. Anyway, I met Finnick when I came out of Vivian’s room yesterday.” All of a sudden, Hunter shifted the topic.
“How come Finnick was at the Morrison residence?” Once again, Evelyn was on edge.
“I had no idea. But when he saw that I was with Vivian, he was exasperated and even got into a brawl with me. I could feel that Vivian still has a special place in his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be jealous.”
“Then, did he know that Vivian was drugged?” Promptly, Evelyn demanded an answer to the question she was most concerned about.
“He probably doesn’t know,” Hunter responded in denial. “Vivian was still asleep in her room then. He might have thought that we slept together voluntarily and he left after the fight.”
It was then that Evelyn heaved a long breath of relief. It’s fine as long as Finnick doesn’t know about the truth. However, her relief was followed immediately by an outburst of jealousy. What is so good about that tr*mp, Vivian, that Finnick just can’t seem to let go of her?
