A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 198

Just as they were about to leave, Benedict blurted, "She's your wife, isn't she?"

Vivian and Finnick turned around. Finnick glared at Benedict icily for a moment before replying, "Yes."

As Finnick turned around to leave, Vivian thought she heard Benedict snort. His words, however low, were audible. "She's not even close to Evelyn."

Evelyn ?Evelyn Morrison ?

Vivian froze in her tracks. However, she was pulled away by Finnick before recovering from the shock.

Walking away, Vivian wondered what Finnick’s relationship with Benedict was. How did Benedict know about Evelyn? Were they friends in the past? Did Benedict love Evelyn just as Finnick did?

When Benedict mentioned Evelyn earlier, Vivian glimpsed the hints of sorrow in Finnick's eyes. He must have missed her dearly.

She couldn't help asking, "Finnick, who is Benedict? Why do you dislike him?”

Finnick pretended that he didn't hear her.

Meanwhile, having executed her plan, Ashley went back to the auction hall and sat with Fabian at a few rows in front of Vivian's seat.

With Finnick and Xavier sitting beside her, Vivian could sense the hostility of the neighboring women's glances thrown in her direction.

Vivian allowed her eyes to dart around and noticed Benedict taking up his place at the row in front of her. He noticed her, too, and greeted her politely with a nod. Vivian smiled and nodded back.

Soon, the stage was illuminated by dazzling lights as the auctioneer was welcomed onto the stage.

The auctioneer made an official speech to welcome all the philanthropists and socialites. And with a booming announcement, the auction started. "Let the auction begin!”

Benedict’s donation was the first to be auctioned. It was a fountain pen.

After a brief introduction by the auctioneer, Vivian finally got to know the mysterious man's identity. He was Benedict Morrison, the eldest heir of the Morrison family. Which meant that he was Evelyn Morrison's elder brother-Vivian realized in a shudder.

That explained his wistful tone when he mentioned Evelyn earlier.

The auctioneer continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is not an ordinary fountain pen. Please have a closer look at the diamond embedded in it.
