Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 1675

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1675

“Joan, don’t feel embarrassed because of your conflict with Larry and bottle it up without sharing it with us. Sometimes, when you can’t bear it alone, you should tell me and Finnick about it. We’re both your elders, so we understand life better than you do. The two of you should learn from our life experiences so that your life will be better.”

Vivian’s words almost had tears streaming down Joan’s face. It had been a long time since an elder had placed herself into their shoes and looked at the problem from their perspective, let alone given her some many nuggets of wisdom.

Thus, she was undeniably moved. While her expression remained unchanged, she had already hugged Vivian multiple times in her heart.

At times, she found herself to be very selfish as well. Just because she wanted to see Leslie, she proposed sending him to a child care center. She seemed to consider only her gains, yet never once considering things from Finnick and Vivian’s perspective and taking into account their anguish at not getting to see their grandchild in their golden years.

Inwardly, she resolved to pick Leslie up and bring him here for them to take care of him. Then, she wanted to go to the beach and ascertain whether Larry was still there. If he were, she would definitely rush forward and hug him tightly before sincerely declaring, “Let’s make up, Larry!”

Subsequently, she grasped Vivian’s slightly coarse hand, a mark left by time. In the eyes of all children, that was the most beautiful mark that belonged only to their parents.

“Are you sure you want to terminate our contract?” That was the third time the receptionist had asked Joan that particular question. The fees for this child care center were exorbitant, and back then, she had paid a year’s payment for Leslie at one go. But since she had changed her mind, the contract between them should end here.
