A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 196

Ashley prepared a limited edition Hermes bag for the charity auction.

After a thorough authentication process, the staff member said, "Alright, Ms. Miller. I've recorded your auction item. Please take a seat in the hall."

Ashley was still racking her brains on how to sabotage Vivian's auction when the staff finished identifying her designer handbag. Suddenly, a malicious smile flickered across her face as an idea popped into her mind.

She smiled courteously at the staff. "I admire your working attitude! How about we become friends?"

Meanwhile, Xavier was also present at the popular auction event. After greeting Finnick and Vivian, he rushed off to catch up with the others.

Other than Xavier and a few others, the faces in the hall were unfamiliar to Vivian.

On the contrary, most of them knew Finnick well enough to exchange pleasantries with him. Upon knowing that Vivian was his wife, they couldn't help but cast curious glances at her. Every second spent in the hall was getting more unsettling for Vivian. Sensing her anxiety, Finnick patted the back of her hand gently.

Finnick reassured, "You'll get used to these occasions. Don’t worry, I'm here for you."

"Okay." Vivian certainly felt better after Finnick's encouragement.

Fabian hadn't taken his eyes off Vivian from the moment she entered the hall.

While he understood that Vivian was new to grand occasions like the auction event, he couldn't help but feel bitter at the sight of her leaning close to Finnick.

His heart throbbed painfully at the realization that Vivian's heart no longer belonged to him.

Fabian wanted to go forward and greet Vivian, but he couldn't find any excuse to do so as Ashley was keeping an eye on him.

When the auction was about to begin, Vivian rushed off to the toilet again because she was too nervous.
