A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1184

"Yup, that's me. How can I help you?" Xavier got a little excited when he received her call. To him, getting Helen's approval would be his first step to winning Hannah's heart.

"I can't have dinner with you tonight, I'm sorry. Something caught up," Helen said apologetically.

"Oh. Don't worry about it. I'll see you next time then." Xavier could only suppress his dissatisfaction because he could not offend Helen. Fabian and Hannah seem close to one another, so I must gain Helen's favor.

At that point, Xavier did not know Helen had officially joined Team Fabian now.

"If I may ask... Do you have feelings for Hannah?"

Helen asked.

"I'm sorry?" Xavier was surprised by her question. What sort of a question is that?

"I think you like my sister. I can tell." Helen paused for a bit and continued. "You've been nice to me all this while, so I have decided to lend you a hand in order to repay your kindness."

Lend me a hand? Does she want to help me? Xavier was at a loss for words for a moment. She wants to help me even when I've not actually done anything for her? I guess luck is on my side?

Upon realizing Xavier's hesitation, Helen explained, "All right, all right. I'll let you know why I'm doing this. So you see, I had dinner with Mr. Norton earlier, and I can't stand his snobbish attitude. That's why I trying to keep my sister away from him."

Helen continued putting on a show. "Well, it's fine if you don't need my help. I thought you'd be a nicer man than that arrogant Mr. Norton. Mmm, never mind then!"

Xavier instantly believed her and was glad that Fabian had dug his own grave. "Hey Helen, that's not what I meant. I'm so happy that you're willing to help me out."

Helen let out a cold snort and kept mum.

"I shouldn't have doubted you. Please forgive me, okay?" Xavier tried to salvage the situation.

"Fine. I'll be the bigger person and forgive you," Helen said.
