Never Late, Never Away Chapter 115
Rachel heard noises in the living room and frowned. “Who’s here?”
Vivian replied in an awkward manner, “Finnick’s here.”
“Your husband?” Rachel’s expression changed. “He came here to look for you? What is he doing outside?”
Vivian did not know how to answer her. “He is cleaning the house for me.”
Rachel was dumbfounded.
Her eyes glistened for a second, and then whispered, “I don’t want to nag anymore, but you’d better make sure you know what you’re doing.”
Of course, Vivian knew what Rachel was talking about. She inched closer and held her hands. “Don’t worry, Mom. I know what I’m doing.”
She did not just say that to appease Rachel. She said that as a reminder for herself.
I cannot fall in love with him. I won’t allow that to happen.
Rachel gazed into her eyes and said sincerely, “I believe you.”
Vivian responded with a grin and left the room.
She noticed Finnick had finished cleaning the house. He stood there with a wet cloth in his hand and a smug smile on his face. “What do you think? Not bad, huh?”
Vivian could not help but chuckle at how confident he was.
Who would expect Mr. Finnick Norton to be so proud of his little achievement here? He was the same man who would not even bother to celebrate after closing the business deal of the year!
“You did great,” she praised, “Thank you.”
While they were having this conversation, Noah arrived. Vivian then opened the door for him to come in.
Noah got the shock of his life when he saw Finnick holding a wet cloth in his hand. Instead of making any remarks that might offend him, he decided to keep mum and place the food on the table.
After helping Rachel finish her dinner, Vivian also ate something simple to stop her hunger pangs. It was already 11 p.m.
Vivian looked at Finnick and Noah after she cleaned up the table. “Thank you so much for today. It’s getting late now. Drive safe.”
“You’re welcome,” Noah responded with a smile and was ready to leave.
