Never Late, Never Away

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 25

Vivian was concerned that Fabian would be annoyed by her sudden departure from Q City, therefore she was surprised when all she heard from him was radio silence.

Soon, the weekend came.

That day, Vivian dressed herself in a wine-red gown that Finnick had prepared for her. She proceeded to put on a diamond necklace and a pair of high-heel shoes to her outfit before walking downstairs slowly.

Finnick had already been waiting for her downstairs, and the sound of her high-heels clicking against the wood of the stairs made him look up. His eyes widened the very next second.

Vivian was prettier than the average girl, but she was never the type to put much effort into dressing up. In fact, she was used to hiding her beauty rather than flaunting it.

As a result, she looked like a shimmering diamond in light makeup and the dress he picked out for her.

Vivian walked over to Finnick and stared at him, wondering why he was being so silent. “What’s wrong? Do I look weird?” she asked bashfully, running a hand through her hair.

That was the first time she wore something like that, and checking its price online did nothing to help with her anxiety.

“No, you don’t,” Finnick said, snapping out of his daze. “You look beautiful.”

Finnick was not one to be stingy with praises, particularly when the receiver was his wife.

Vivian froze.
