Never Late, Never Away Chapter 289
The answer Noah got was a huge surprise.
Hanging up, a wide grin spread across Noah’s face. “Congratulations, Mr. Norton! I asked the hospital staff and they told me she had gone to the gynecology clinics. She’s confirmed to be pregnant!”
Silence greeted his words, the only sound being the roaring of the vehicles passing outside the windows. Worried, he twisted around to look at Finnick. “Mr. Norton – ”
When he caught sight of Finnick, he was stunned.
The boss was sitting in his wheelchair limply as a myriad of emotions played across his face. They were all emotions Noah had never seen on him before.
First, it was shock, then a little bit of helplessness. Finally, surprise and elation shone in those dark orbs.
Vivian and I are having a baby? I’m going to be a father!
Noah had been working as Finnick’s personal assistant for a lot of years. This was the first time he had seen his boss losing hold of emotions. He queried, “Mr. Norton, should we still go to the hospital? Mrs. Norton seems to have returned home.”
Finnick snapped out of his stupor and replied, “Then let’s go home.”
…
Back at home, Vivian was still mulling over how she would break the news to Finnick. In the end, she decided she would tell him later when he got home from work. It would be a pleasant surprise for him!
She bustled around in the kitchen, preparing dinner as she waited for him to come back. Much sooner than she had expected, he was home.
Glancing at the clock, she noted he was very early today.
She rushed to his side, exclaiming, “Finnick, I have some great news to tell you – ”
Before she could finish, he tugged her closer to him before wrapping her in a tight hug.
He placed his mouth by her ear and whispered, “Vivian William, this is the best present I’ve ever gotten.”
Finnick’s seemingly random and nonsensical words puzzled Vivian.
Chuckling lowly, he added, “Looks like those supplements really worked!”
Understanding dawned on Vivian. “You already know?”
He nodded.
She searched his expression, taking in the delight on his face. Her heart warmed in bliss.
