Ever since Jenny told her about the kidnapping incident that happened years ago, Vivian had always wanted to ask Finnick for more information.
However, since it was a very personal and traumatic incident, she couldn’t bring herself to ask him about it.
She did not expect him to open up about his past on his own accord. Does this mean that he is finally willing to open up to me?
Finnick grabbed Vivian's hand, intertwining his hand with hers as he looked at the tombstone. He blinked and asked, "I believe you know who she is, right?"
Vivian hesitated for a brief moment before nodding. "Yes, I know a bit about her."
"Then I suppose you have also heard quite a bit about the rumors of the kidnapping incident that happened ten years ago," said Finnick indifferently. "Especially about how I abandoned her to save myself..."
Vivian suddenly became nervous and was at a loss for words.
Finnick, on the other hand, remained calmed and even let out a faint smile as he said, "Don't be nervous. You can be honest with me."
After a moment of hesitation, Vivian finally uttered, "Someone did tell me that before, but I don’t believe it."
Finnick's dark eyes flickered as he responded, "Why not?" "I don't think you’re the kind of person who would abandon anyone just like that. Moreover, she was
your girlfriend back then," Vivian explained softly, then she looked at him with uncertainty and added, "Am I right?"
Finnick did not answer her immediately but looked at the tombstone and mumbled to himself instead, "Would I really not abandon anyone? Even I am not sure about it myself..."
Vivian was shocked.
Not sure?What does he mean by he’s not sure?
Finnick changed the topic and said, "Evelyn and I were childhood sweethearts. My family and the Morrison family have shared a good relationship for generations."
Vivian was astonished.
