Never Late, Never Away Chapter 774
Ah, little pumpkin must have inherited Finnick’s genes! That’s a good thing. At least, he won’t be dumb like me.
After Vivian had left, only Finnick and Benedict were in the living room, for Noah had already tactfully retreated to the side.
“Finnick,” Benedict called out. Then, he lifted his head and looked at Finnick even as he contemplated how he should begin.
“Let’s have a seat. There’s no hurry.” Finnick knew that Benedict had plenty to tell him, so he sat down and waited for him to initiate the conversation.
“I’m at fault for all those things in the past. I misunderstood you, so I officially apologize to you now. I’m sorry.”
Benedict felt that he had indeed given Finnick attitude too many times in the past. Many a time, I pull a long face with him, yet he never took offense at me. However, my conscience dictates that I must apologize. I didn’t know that he was kept in the dark back then, but now that I do, an apology is imperative.
This was his principle, and it was this character of his that garnered Morrison Group a stellar reputation.
“It’s okay, you didn’t know better. Besides, I was also partly responsible back then.” As Finnick listened to Benedict, he knew that he had already tacitly agreed to Vivian getting back with him.
Since I’ve already gotten my wife back, I don’t care about everything else. Furthermore, if it weren’t for him putting so many obstacles before me back then, I might not cherish Vivian as much as I do today.
Oftentimes, people only appreciated things that didn’t come easy.
Everyone knew the truth of that, and likewise, Finnick would also love Vivian more than ever before.
“Thank you for alleviating my guilt by saying that. But still, my stance remains the same. If you don’t treat Vivian well, there won’t be a third chance for you.”
This time, Benedict had already given Finnick a chance, so if he were to trample on Vivian’s heart again, he would protect her even if it meant sacrificing everything he had.
I’ve never taken care of her since young, so now that she’s by my side now, I’ll protect her forever.
“I’ve got it, Ben.”
Benedict was startled for a moment when Finnick called him “Ben”, but he then flashed him a smile in tacit acquiescence.
“Go on in and look for them.”
