A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 753

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 753

Vivian did not take Ms. Booker’s comment to heart. She already knew that Larry was smart, and he learned things very quickly. Of course, he got this trait of his from Finnick. However, as to what job he would like to take up in the future, that was for him to decide after he grew up. Larry would have his own path in life, thus she should not interfere when he was still unable to make a decision.

Hearing Ms. Booker’s compliment, Larry did not seem to be pleased. His attention was no longer on drawing. Instead, his thoughts were filled up by his Daddy and Mommy.

Sometimes when Vivian was not at home, he would beat around the bush and try to learn more about his father from Benedict. Naturally, Benedict would not disclose anything. And when Larry became too persistent, he would educate the little boy with a stern face and lecture him that children should not be too nosy.

Larry did not dare to press on further whenever Uncle Benedict, who usually adores him, became cross. Nevertheless, from his mother and Uncle Benedict’s reaction, he could easily deduce that they both disliked his Daddy.

One time he overheard the conversation between his Mommy and Uncle Benedict. He remembered hearing the latter mention something along the lines of his Daddy abandoning him and Mommy. That was the reason why they came to live in A Nation.

Although he had only met Finnick a few times, Larry firmly believed that his Daddy was not someone who would just abandon his own wife and child like what Uncle Benedict had said.

He did not simply come to such a conclusion without rhyme or reason. The last time I saw Daddy, he did not know that I was his son. He only thought that I was a random lost child. But he was very kind and gentle to me. Not only did he get someone to help me look for Mommy, but he also spent time playing with me.

Larry was brought up in a wealthy environment. He himself was smart beyond his years and more sensible than other children of his age. From an early age, he had already witnessed the arrogance of the higher-ups in a company – they were all condescending snobs.

His Daddy, on the other hand, could lower his pride and play with a random child. Therefore, he was not someone who would do such an abominable act. There had to be some misunderstanding between him and Mommy which led to them separating from each other.

Although Mommy had promised that she would listen to Daddy’s explanation, it seems that their misunderstanding is still not resolved. Otherwise, Daddy would have already come to see me. Sigh… Does Daddy even know about my existence?
