Vivian’s face turned pale gradually. “Mom, I can’t do that. We already registered our marriage.”
“So what? Maybe he just needs a wife in name.” Rachel might have been in a coma for two years but she was not muddleheaded at all. “Otherwise, why would he marry an ordinary girl like you if he is such an eligible bachelor?”
Vivian was rendered speechless.
Her mother spoke the truth. Upon their marriage, Vivian knew immediately that Finnick only needed a wife in name. However, Rachel was oblivious that she married him to get citizenship in Sunshine City. The marriage was for mutual benefit, and no one had the right to criticize the other for their choices.
“Mom.” She told her the truth. “Finnick treats me well.”
She spoke from her heart. Even though they could not be counted as best friends, but Finnick indeed treated her well. He always appeared whenever she needed help, just like how he stepped in this time when her mother required surgery.
“Vivian, how can you be so foolish! Men only treat you well because they want the fun.” Rachel was obviously very worried for her daughter. “Am I not the living example? I just want you to live an ordinary and happy life… I’m really afraid that you will follow in my footsteps and be abandoned by a man for life.”
She began to sob silently as she spoke.
Vivian felt hurt on behalf of her mother. She pulled her into an embrace and said, “Mom, you just had your surgery and can’t be upset. Let me tell you the truth. I married him to get citizenship and medical insurance. I don’t have any feelings for him.”
“Are you telling the truth?” Rachel stopped sobbing when she heard this and looked at her daughter.
“Of course.” Vivian looked at Rachel and continued, “Mom, don’t you know me? Can’t you tell when I dislike a person?”
Indeed, Rachel brought her up singlehandedly, and they only had each other all this while. Needless to say, she knew her daughter the best. It was obvious if Vivian liked someone, just like when she was together with Fabian.
Finally, Rachel looked less worried. However, she still instructed her daughter, “Alright, but you have to promise that you will get a divorce when there’s an opportunity.”
The truth was, Vivian never once thought of divorcing Finnick. She did not care why they got married, nor was she bothered by his identity. Since they were married now, she would not initiate a divorce unless Finnick wanted it.
