Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 397

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 397

Just when Finnick was still figuring out his next move, he heard someone knock on the door. “The noodles’ ready.”

Finnick’s face lit up instantly, but by the time he opened the door, Vivian had left and was walking to the dining table.

He followed her to the dining table and started eating the noodles. Finnick had several times wanted to initiate a conversation with her, but after seeing how focused she was on her food, he did not know what to say.

“Finnick.” While he was still contemplating what to say to her, Vivian suddenly called his name.

“Yes?” Finnick was pleased that she made the first move. He put down his fork and looked at her.

Vivian lowered her head as she did not want to look at him. She asked while twirling the noodles on the plate, “Would you come to Ashley’s funeral with me?”

Believe it or not, Vivian did not know if she should make that request since they were still not on speaking terms. Besides, she did not want to give in first.

But she was afraid to face Harvey alone. After all, she was indirectly related to Ashley’s death and the collapse of the Miller Group. Finnick’s presence at the funeral would make her feel a little less uneasy.

That request put Finnick in a rather awkward position. He was pleased that Vivian took the initiative to make peace with him, but he had to turn her down.

Vivian tilted her head aside to look at Finnick, who did not give her a response. She could see awkwardness on his face. He’s probably worried that his presence might cause a stir at the funeral since everyone knew what happened between him and the Miller Group.

“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to go,” Finnick immediately explained as he did not want to cause further misunderstanding, “But I’ll be meeting Evelyn this Sunday to work out the details of our design. This design will affect the company’s performance for the next two quarters of the year, so I have to be there. I’ll get Noah to drive you to the funeral, okay?”
