A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1430

Heather passed off her response as a joke, but those were exactly what she was thinking. She understood that Fabian had barely gotten over Hannah, and that it was impossible to ask him to find someone to marry and have children so soon. Hence, Heather was prepared to face her son's rebuttal.

“Mom, let's talk about that some other time. I came home today because I have something else to discuss with you,” Fabian told her in a calm and collected manner.

It was not that Fabian did not take the matter to heart. On the contrary, he was aware that if he came off too strongly, his mother would definitely not agree to Hannah's return. Hence, Fabian softened his approach, and opted to discuss with Heather in a much gentler manner.

Oh, what is it? I knew you'd have something to tell me. Otherwise, for a man of your position to come home, it'd take a miracle,” Heather grumbled.

Apparently, she had more than a few complaints against Fabian and his knack for not coming home for long periods of time.

“Mom, before I tell you, you have to promise not to get mad,” Fabian assured his mother cautiously.

“Oh, dear. Fabian, stop beating about the bush, out with it already! As your mother, whatever it is, I'll support you all the way.”

Heather thought that as long as her son admitted his mistakes and agreed to turn his life around, all was well.

Moreover, Heather had seen Fabian lose control of his emotions because of what happened with Vivian. For a long time after that, he had not been himself. As his mother, seeing her son in such a sorry state distressed her just as much.

“Okay then. Here goes nothing.”

Fabian smiled at the notion of finally being able to broach the subject. He said, “Mom, to tell you the truth, the reason I can get over my despair so quickly is, first and foremost, because of one particular individual.”

Fabian's face turned grim, his expression a stern one.

“Who's that? Is it someone I know?” Heather asked repeatedly.
