Vivian turned around and saw that Finnick had returned.

Finnick was standing there. His figure was lean and his legs were long and slender. His light blue shirt outlined his perfectly sculpted body.

A solemn look flashed across Vivian’s eyes.

He’s such an exceptional man, but he’s forced to sit in a wheelchair. How does that even feel like?

“I’m telling Vivian that I’ve fallen in love with her at first sight and is planning to steal her away from you.” The moment Xavier saw Finnick, a frivolous smile appeared on his lips again. “Finnick, you know how charming I am. I’ve got so many women fawning over me. You must be careful!”

“Don’t think that Vivian’s the same as those women around you,” rebuked Finnick calmly. He walked to the dining table and opened the bottle of red wine. “She won’t ever like you.”

“Hmph! How confident!” Xavier snorted in disdain.

With the lively Xavier around, there was not a single moment of boredom during the meal. Vivian was laughing from start to finish because of him. Only after they finished dessert did Xavier wipe his mouth and reluctantly stand up.

“Alright, Vivian. I have a date today, so I won’t disturb you and Finnick anymore. I’ll visit you again.”

Vivian stood up with Finnick to send Xavier off. They only returned to the dining room after Xavier’s ostentatiously red sports car sped away.

Finnick was bringing the plates on the dining table back to the kitchen.

“Let me do it,” offered Vivian immediately, wanting to take the plates away from Finnick’s hands. However, he raised his hand and stopped her.

“I can do simple things like this,” replied Finnick in a deep voice.

Left with no choice, Vivian could only clear the table with him.

As Finnick placed the plates in the dishwasher, he abruptly asked, “What did Xavier tell you just now?”

Vivian was taken aback. However, she still replied honestly, “He told me why you’re pretending to be crippled.”

“I see.” Finnick nodded, not surprised at all.

Vivian expected it too. Since Finnick and Xavier shared so many years of friendship, Finnick definitely could guess what Xavier told her.

“Do you blame me?” Finnick suddenly asked again as he shot a brooding glance at Vivian.
