A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 758

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 758

“Move away! I’ve got something urgent to deal with. I don’t have the time to talk to you,” Vivian shoved Finnick aside and continued sprinting on her way. Finnick, however, caught up with her in a few long strides. He clutched her arm with an iron grip.

“Let go of me! What are you doing? I have to get to the bank now. Stop wasting my time!” Vivian howled, flinging Finnick’s hand aside with all her might.

From Vivian’s inconsolable state, Finnick guessed that she indeed had rather dire matters at hand. But what exactly is going on? Why can’t she tell me?

Unable to get anything else out of her, Finnick decided not to press Vivian any further. He immediately pulled Vivian over to his car, commanding, “Get on, I’ll send you to the bank right now.”

With her heart set on getting to the bank within the shortest possible time, Vivian thought this option rather ideal. Besides, it removed the obstacle that was Finnick. She immediately wrenched the door open.

“Vivian!” A yell came from Benedict, who had finally caught up with them. He was extremely discomfited by the thought of Vivian heading off to that deserted place all alone to save Larry.

Benedict glanced at Finnick. He knew that Vivian was intent on hiding Larry’s identity from Finnick. Benedict thus chose his next words with extreme delicacy. “Why don’t you come with me? I’ll follow you in secret. If anything happens, I’ll still be in time to save you. You can’t go alone,” Benedict offered.

At Benedict’s speech, Finnick felt a growing sense of disquiet. He turned towards Vivian and asked frantically, “What in the world’s going on? What are you going to do alone? Why would it be dangerous?”

Disregarding Finnick completely, Vivian replied Benedict in earnest, “Ben, we can’t risk it. It would be best if you didn’t follow me. I’m afraid that they really will…”

Vivian deliberately paused, omitting the crucial facts of the matter. Her mind raced. She had to guarantee Larry’s safety no matter what. Vivian suggested, “Ben, why don’t you do a covert investigation into this matter? See if you can find out more about this guy’s background. We’ll keep in contact at all times, and if there’s any real danger, I’ll immediately call you to let you know where I am.”
