Never Late, Never Away Chapter 292
Vivian was reluctant to tell Rachel about Evelyn’s death. Maybe her mother already knew. Whatever the case, she did not want to continue this topic further lest she caused her mother more grief.
Chatting a while longer, Vivian finally left. She had only just turned the corner of the street when she spotted a tall figure.
Benedict was leaning against his Range Rover. Upon noticing Vivian, he called out, “Get in. I’ll send you back.”
Although she knew she should not be too friendly with Finnick’s enemy, she found that she did not actually hate Benedict. Strangely enough, she even felt a sort of kinship with him.
She had a lot of questions that she hoped he might be able to answer.
That was why she nodded in agreement. He swiftly opened the car door for her, gesturing her to step inside like a gentleman.
Sitting down in the driver’s seat, he started up the engines.
Benedict broke the silence first, “I never thought you would be Ms. Rachel’s daughter, Vivian.”
Vivian bobbed her head, replying, “Yeah. I never expected my Mom to know you either.”
“Seems like we’re fated to meet.”
Benedict glanced at her, discovering that she looked even prettier from the side.
Focusing his attention back on the road, he stopped the car at a red light.
He spoke up again, “Ms. Rachel was very nice to me when I was young. Unfortunately, things happened and she left my life. I honestly never thought I would get to see her again today.”
“My Mom told me about you, about all the things you did when you were a little boy.”
“Did she tell you I was a naughty one?”
“No. She actually kept praising you, saying how you were very smart and understanding. She liked you a lot. You and… Evelyn.”
She had thought that by mentioning Evelyn, he would talk a little bit more about his sister. To her disappointment, he did not.
Instead, he seemed much more interested in her. “Where were you when Ms. Rachel was working for us? I’ve never seen you even once.”
