Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 118

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 118

Vivian’s heart softened, and she was touched.

She closed her eyes so that her emotion could not be read.

Finnick…

Why are you so nice to me?

I’m afraid…I might end up falling for you…

After her shower, Vivian and Finnick returned to the living room. Feeling bad that Finnick was soaked from head to toe, she went to her closet and picked out some larger-sized sports clothes for him. But before she gave him the clothes she cautiously asked again, “Are you sure you want to stay here with me?”

“Of course,” Finnick replied casually and took the clothes from Vivian’s hands, “Don’t you have to take care of your mother? How are you supposed to do that when you are injured? Given so, I think I should stay here to take care of both of you.”

“You don’t have to do that,” Vivian insisted as she did not want him to stay. “I can do it alone.”

“You can do it alone?” Finnick raised his brows. “You needed my help to bathe. Are you sure you can do it alone?”

His words only made Vivian think about the incident in the bathroom. Instantly, she turned red and forgot to rebut his words.

Soon after, she heard Finnick’s soft chuckle as he headed to the bathroom with her clothes.

Vivian suddenly grew frustrated. She felt like he had led her on, and that she seemed to have given him her silent consent to stay for the night.

Before stepping into the bathroom, Finnick suddenly thought of an idea and said, “If you don’t want me to stay here, you can simply follow me home instead.”

With that, he went in.

Finnick had to take a cold bath to overcome the urge burning within him.

When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Vivian lying on the bed.

It was small, and she was curled up in a corner. After entering the bedroom, Finnick could not stand it anymore and hugged Vivian by wrapping his arm around her waist.

“Why are you hiding?” he whispered beside her ear, “Isn’t it more spacious this way?”

Not long after, he turned the lights off and closed his eyes to sleep. After being tortured for an entire day, he was exhausted. The fragrance of Vivian’s hair gave him an inexplicable sense of comfort.
