Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 204

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 204

Raising his paddle, Finnick was aiming to crush Fabian’s desire for the amulet.

“Ten million!” Finnick exclaimed.

The crowd gasped as Finnick’s action thrilled the whole auction house. Ten million just for an amulet! Even if it were made of diamonds, it still wouldn’t be worth that much.

The host spoke with a trembling voice, “T-Ten million… Ten million, does anyone want to bid higher than this?”

Fabian tightened his grip on the paddle with a look filled with exasperation.

No, I can still continue!

At that moment, Ashley had enough of Fabian’s behavior. Since when did Vivian’s amulet become so important to him that he is willing to sacrifice everything he has for it?

Fabian, am I nothing to you? You’re going to lose everything you have! I won’t allow this to happen!

Ashley quickly reached out and stop Fabian from raising his hand. She murmured, “Fabian, have you lost your mind? What do you take me as? Ten million is a huge sum of money. Even if you asked your father for it, he is not going to give it to you.”

Ashley’s words made perfect sense. Even if he won the bid for the amulet, Fabian’s father would have gone ballistic. Even he may not be able to gather so much money on such short notice. Fabian realized then that he had no choice but to give up.

Finnick, you’re just too ruthless!

Vivian, I’m sorry.

In his trembling voice, the host called out, “Ten million, going once! Ten million, going twice! Ten million, sold!”

Finnick finally won the bid for the amulet.

The host waved his hand and declared, “Congratulations, Mr. Norton!”

Devastated, Fabian was filled with disappointment in himself. Having lost all interest in what was going on around him, he slumped in his seat just like a deflated balloon.

He had failed and lost to Finnick again.

Filled with gratitude, Vivian said to Finnick, “Thank you.”

Finnick held up her hand and placed it in his left palm. At that moment, neither of them needed to say much as they already understood where their hearts lay. They had the same goal, which was to always shower each other with love and happiness.
