A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 871

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 871

“Of course,” Vivian and Finnick agreed in unison.

Just like that, all of them had dinner before returning home.

When they were leaving, Vivian and Finnick were reluctant to leave Larry and he felt the same way too.

However, they had no choice but to do so as it was more dangerous for him to stay with them.

Furthermore, it would be harder on him as there was no one to look after him.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t their fault at all. Evelyn was the source of all their troubles.

“Don’t worry, we will come and take you home soon enough.” Vivian tousled Larry’s hair as she tried her best to hold back her tears.

Once the tears flowed, all their plans would be for naught.

“Alright Larry, you have to be brave because you’re a boy. Take good care of Grandpa. Mommy and I are leaving now.” Finnick stepped in just when Vivian couldn’t endure it any longer.

Although Larry was upset, he knew that a boy had to be strong, just as Finnick had said.

“Alright. I’ll be good and wait for both of you.” Compared to Vivian losing her composure, Larry was a lot calmer.

He was aware that it must have been agonizing for Vivian to leave him. Hence, he had to put up a brave front so as to not make things any worse for her.

However, the reality was the exact opposite of what Larry thought. It was precisely because he was mature for his age that made Vivian feel sorry for him.

“Goodbye, Daddy, Mommy.” Larry closed the door right after he bid them farewell. Leaving Vivian and Finnick standing outside.

Vivian squatted down at the door and took a while to recover her composure. After that, she held Finnick’s hand and headed home together.

When they arrived home after a long day, they were greeted by an empty house. After laying down on the bed for a while, both of them quickly fell asleep.

In her dreams, Vivian saw Larry smiling happily at her and calling her Mommy.

After that, his expression changed drastically, and started bawling. He began accusing Vivian of resenting him and not loving him.

Finally, Vivian was jolted awake by the nightmare.

When she woke up, she realized that Finnick was no longer beside her.
