Never Late, Never Away Chapter 279

At the sight of Vivian’s hesitation, Finnick could tell that she must have misunderstood him and chose to give him the cold shoulder.

If this went on unresolved, Vivian’s anger would boil over sooner or later.

“Vivian, I—” Finnick wanted to explain everything to Vivian, but the moment he opened his mouth, he realized he couldn’t exactly tell her everything now. It was still a secret, after all. He couldn’t just ruin the surprise.

He was forced to change the subject. “I was just settling some company stuff.”

After he finished his sentence, the two of them fell into an uncomfortable silence.

The air simmered with reproach.

Vivian started flipping the pages of a magazine, but it felt like she was reading a foreign language.

Deep down, she firmly believed that Finnick was calling to help Ashley and the Miller family. He had once promised to protect her and always stand up for her. What is this all about, then? How could he break his promise?

Finnick was thinking of telling Vivian about how Ashley had saved him when they were younger. After all, the misunderstanding was caused by a lack of communication.

Besides that, he also wanted to apologize to Vivian. He had to admit that it was unfair to her.
