Never Late, Never Away Chapter 280

Vivian’s eyes were reddened and her tone had already softened, but she still wouldn’t meet Finnick’s gaze. “Let’s go downstairs. We shouldn’t keep Grandpa and the others waiting.”

Finnick felt bad seeing Vivian’s sorrow written all over her face.

Still, it wasn’t the time to talk about such things. They had to go downstairs since everyone was waiting for them.

Once they got downstairs, Vivian noticed the sheer number of guests.

News of elder Mr. Norton’s birthday celebration had gotten out, and plenty of people had arrived to give their blessings.

Everyone who was anyone in Sunshine City had made an appearance, much to Vivian’s surprise.

The crowd was full of smiles as they exchanged glasses of wine and chatted with each other.

The Norton Residence, which had always been rather quiet, was bustling with life after the arrival of these guests.

Vivian wasn’t that used to such a lively atmosphere. Having to constantly put on a bright smile despite her bitter mood drained her immensely.

As she watched Ashley chat happily with other guests, she felt even worse.

Occasionally, Ashley would glance at Vivian with eyes full of mockery and self-satisfaction.
