Never Late, Never Away Chapter 81

After hearing Finnick’s reassurances, Vivian managed to calm her nerves. She then followed the butler to the study on the second floor.

The elder Mr. Norton’s study was decorated with a lot of antiques. The moment she entered, she could smell the scent of lighted sandalwood and felt as if she had stepped into another world.

He was sitting at his desk dressed in a long robe. From the very first second she entered, his gaze was fixated upon her.

Vivian tried her best to keep her nerves together and walked towards the front of the desk. She greeted politely, “Mr. Norton.”

“What did you just call me?” He questioned her sternly.

Stunned, Vivian was uncertain as to what was going on.

“Since you are now married to Finnick, you should address me as Grandpa, just like how Finnick,” the elder Mr. Norton explained patiently when he realized that she was clueless. Moreover, he didn’t forget to sneer, “You and your sister, Ashley, are two polarizing extremes. One just can’t wait to address me as Great Grandpa while the other doesn’t do so when she should.”

Vivian turned pale when she realized the elder Mr. Norton knew that Ashley and she were sisters.

After giving it some thought, she realized it wasn’t unexpected. After all, she had been married to Finnick for quite a while now so he would definitely have done a background check on her.

Mr. Norton allowed her to address him as Grandpa, it meant that he acknowledged her as his granddaughter-in-law. Realizing that,
