Never Late, Never Away Chapter 126
“Errr… When we found the handkerchief, I’ve already tried contacting Mr. Jackson, but he’s currently attending a design conference overseas and his phone has been switched off. As such, we haven’t been able to reach him.”
“Then think of a way to contact him!” Finnick roared. “Ask him to come here immediately after you manage to reach him!”
“Understood, Mr. Norton,” Noah answered, his face as pale as sheet.
Finnick was no longer able to focus on the endowment model displayed on his computer screen. Instead, he proceeded to wheel himself out of the room swiftly.
Noah followed behind hurriedly as he heard his boss ask, “Has Vivian gotten back home?”
“Molly had just called to inform that Mrs. Norton is already at home.”
Only then did Finnick’s tensed expression soften. Just then, he suddenly noticed that he was still holding onto that handkerchief and threw it towards Noah with a look of disgust. “Throw this thing away. Also, acquire the factory which manufactured this handkerchief and shut it down. I don’t ever want to see a similar handkerchief appearing anywhere in this world again.”
Noah felt like he was being placed in a tough spot as he asked, “But how about Mr. Jackson… “
“Just do as I say!” Finnick yelled before Noah was able to complete his sentence.
Vivian was already asleep when Finnick reached home.
She did not sleep well last night while sharing a bed with Finnick. As such, she had been feeling exhausted the whole day and went to bed immediately after finishing dinner and washing up.
The moment Finnick entered the room, he saw Vivian curled up on the bed. She was hugging the blanket tightly and wearing the silk camisole nightgown which Molly had bought for her. Her delicate shoulders and bony back were all exposed.
Finnick couldn’t help but frown at the sight.
Vivian had a sleeping habit of hugging the blanket instead of covering it over her properly. Often, the man would wake up in the middle of the night and place the blanket over her, for fear that she might catch a cold.
Why did Molly buy her such a thin nightgown? Is she not aware that it’s easier to catch a cold that way?
After Finnick shut the door, he stood up from his wheelchair and walked to Vivian’s bedside, wanting to cover her with the blanket. However, right when he stood by the bed, the woman turned around and the blanket slipped off her body completely.
