The suit hugged his lean body nicely, outlining the sculptured shape of his figure. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, no one could ignore the intimidating aura he exuded.

“Congratulations, Mr. Norton.” The blonde hostess of the award ceremony excitedly passed the crystal trophy to him.

“Thank you,” rumbled Finnick as he received the trophy. His American accent was impeccable. “I’m very honored to receive this award.”

When he took the trophy, the hostess’ gaze landed on his finger. She instantly exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, “Oh my God! Mr. Norton, is that a wedding ring?”

The camera immediately zoomed in to Finnick’s finger. The diamond ring which Vivian bought was displayed on the big screen.

Vivian’s heart skipped a beat. Sneakily, she hid her finger, which was wearing an identical ring, behind her back.

On the screen, the hostess continued enthusing over it. “Mr. Norton, so you’re really married. I wonder how many women would be heartbroken. However, Mr. Norton, this ring is really economical, huh?”

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing what she said.

Vivian’s face flushed.

Ugh, Finnick. I already said that the ring doesn’t suit his status, but he insists on wearing it.

Despite everyone’s surprise and laughter, Finnick maintained a calm composure. He glanced down at his finger and smiled. “My wife chose it for me. She’s never an advocate for unnecessary waste.”

Although his words were simple, it was somehow filled with an affectionate tone. Everyone instantly fell silent.

Vivian, who was watching him through her computer on the other side of the Earth, felt her heart skip a beat too.

Although she kept convincing himself that Finnick was just saying that for show, a part of her was starting to be charmed by him.
