A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 18

Go home?

Vivian stopped struggling and her eyes widened in surprise, but sadness seeped in later on.

Home?l don't have a home anymore...

Although she had moved in with Finnick, she had never taken his villa as her real home. To her, it was just a roof over her head when she had nowhere else to go. It was never her home.

But for the first time, Vivian felt a warm feeling blossoming in her heart like the first spring after a long cold winter. Her startled eyes surveyed Finnick's face as he reciprocated her gaze quietly.

Their marriage had happened out of the blue. Yet looking at him, Vivian thought it was not a bad idea to have someone by her side after all.

Her face relaxed and she finally gave in, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Now that she caved, Finnick's eyes glimmered subtly with joy. His brows curved into a smile and he moved toward the car proudly.

Not long after they got in, the car sped off, moving further away from Yves Mansion.

As the black Bentley gradually went out of sight, a lurking shadow emerged from a dark corner along the empty road.

Under the lonely street light, Fabian stood as he watched the couple depart.

After Vivian left the Miller family, although Fabian did not run after her, he still felt uneasy. The night had fallen and he worried about her safety. So Fabian gave a random reason and excused himself not long after she left alone.

He saw her walking strenuously in the dark but he could not bring himself to send her home after everything that happened between them. So Fabian decided to just watch her from afar—until the man in the wheelchair appeared.

Although Fabian could not see the man clearly from a distance, he knew instantly it was Finnick the very moment he saw his car and his iconic wheelchair.

His fists clenched so tight red marks grew under his pale skin.

Why? Why must it be him?Vivian, you're already married, so why do you have to get involved with this man?

His anger burned within him as he bit his lip.

"Fabes?"

A soft voice echoed carefully from behind.

Fabian suddenly came around and turned toward the voice in alarm. It was Ashley.

"Ashley, you’re here." He moved toward her, then held her cold hands and rubbed them against his as he tried to warm her up. "You need to put on more clothes. Let's go."

"I'm worried, so I came to check on you," Ashley said tenderly as Fabian held her in his arms.

But her shaky voice betrayed her.

Ashley had seen everything earlier on. She saw someone picked Vivian up, and she saw the hatred and fury in Fabian's eyes.

Vivian William, why can't he just get overyou?l've taken your place, but why does he still only have eyes for you?

She bit her lip and her face turned pale in bitter jealousy.

Vivian William, you'd better stay away from Fabes. Don't forget I still have some dirt on you. I can make you lose everything you have overnight!

By the time Vivian got home, her body was already shivering uncontrollably. She had been out in the cold for too long and it was not helping her health.

She dashed to the bathroom and took a hot shower to warm herself up. When she came out of the bathroom, Finnick was already done showering and was blow-drying his hair.
