Never Late, Never Away Chapter 260
“A mistake? Hmph! I see that both of you are still unrepentant.” Noah, who had been watching from the side, castigated.
Vivian was at a loss as she could not quite make sense of the exchange. What did Ashley do? Did she upset Finnick? Or does it have something to do with me?
Ashley was in tears as she struggled against her restraints in vain. She was only able to let out muffled cries through her gag.
Fabian’s heart ached to see Ashley in this manner.
He approached Finnick. “Finnick, consider yourself doing me a favor. She’s pregnant! Whatever it was that she did wrong, allow me to make it up to you. Just let her go first.”
Fabian’s words had Finnick incensed.
He said mockingly, “Fabian, aren’t you being selfish! For all the atrocities Ashley had done, you want me to let her off just because she’s carrying your child? Don’t forget that you were her victim as well!”
The color fell from Fabian’s face.
That’s right. How could I not hate Ashley? But she is with my child. What choice do I have? What else can I do? The unborn baby is innocent!
Fabian said, “Let’s just forget it, Finnick. She’s carrying another life inside her! There’s nothing that could be done to undo the past. And isn’t Vivian doing just fine right now?”
Vivian was starting to connect the dots between Ashley’s kidnapping, Finnick’s fury, and Emma and Fabian’s pleas. But did we not agree to steer clear of each other?
What unforgivable thing has Ashley done to have Finnick act this way?
It did not cross Vivian’s mind that all of it had to do with what happened to her two years ago.
