A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 745

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 745

For over two years, he couldn’t break from the guilt that threatened to consume him whole. He had trouble falling asleep. Sometimes, he’d doze off due to exhaustion, but would jolt awake less than half an hour later as Evelyn’s screams haunted his dreams.

The torment was too much for him to bear. In the end, he went to a psychologist. After a year of treatment, he finally broke of the illness. However, Evelyn remained an untouchable scar in his heart.

Even though he got to know Vivian later and fell in love with her, there was still a spot for Evelyn in his heart. He just couldn’t forget how she died in front of his eyes.

When Evelyn showed up at the graveyard, Finnick was utterly stunned. He was relieved to hear that she was rescued later on. The burden in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace. For the first time in years, he could relax.

Finnick was already in love with Vivian, so even if Evelyn was still alive, he could no longer be with her. Still, he never suspected Evelyn’s words and actions. He had fallen out of love with her, but she was still a special someone to him.

Later on, he broke up with Vivian and slowly got to know what Evelyn had done over the years. Gradually, he grew to despise her. Even so, he was disgusted with the person Evelyn had turned into. He had never regretted being childhood sweethearts with her in the past.

They shared so many sweet memories together, so he still cherished them despite the change in Evelyn’s character. At least, or so he thought, they were innocent and sincere back then.

Now that Finnick thought of it, there was nothing sweet about their past. Evelyn’s innocence? It was all his imagination. Nothing else. In fact, everything was a trap. The relationship which he cherished more than anything else was nothing but a stepping stone to her.
