Never Late, Never Away Chapter 996
After hearing what Finnick had to say, he touched his beard jovially. Something occurred to him as he declared, “Since your wife is in this state, you should find another one.”
Finnick was still young, so it must be exhausting for him to take care of his ill wife. It would also affect Finnick’s company and career.
Finnick understood this better than anyone. Yet, he couldn’t bring himself to leave Vivian alone.
He loved her dearly to give her up just because of a minor illness. There was no way he’d find himself another woman.
Vivian was his one and only wife.
“Mr. Lochlan, I won’t do that,” he refuted without hesitation.
If I marry another wife, what will happen to Vivian? I can’t do that.
“Finnick, I know you love her dearly. I feel sorry for her, but there’s no other choice. Don’t tell me you’re not going to bear another child to be your successor?” He continued, “Your grandpa has passed, so it’s up to me to give you a piece of advice. I don’t want to feel guilty when I eventually meet with your grandpa after my passing.”
“Mr. Lochlan, that’s enough. I will apologize to him personally in the future. I won’t be marrying another woman.” Upon recalling his grandfather, Finnick shut his eyes in anguish.
“Mr. Litt’s daughter is a pleasant girl. She has just returned from abroad. I told her about you. If you change your mind, you can marry her,” said Palmer. “I’m too old to interfere in your matters any longer.” With that, he rose to his feet.
Finnick stood up and led Vivian to see Palmer out. When Palmer’s figure was no longer in sight, Vivian spoke. “Finnick, who was that? He’s so scary.”
She fiddled with the plushy in her hands and added, “Look how afraid little pumpkin is.”
Finnick didn’t say a word. Instead, he ruffled her hair adoringly.
