A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 228

Thankfully, she could finally rid herself of the influence from the Miller family.

Vivian felt as if a boulder had been lifted off her shoulder. She had no idea she had been bearing countless burdens by herself all this while.

Finnick sat by her side, holding her in his arms silently.

Once Vivian finished crying to her heart's content, he lowered his gaze and asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

After Vivian nodded in return, he asked once more, "Are you willing to tell me about your past yet? I'm all ears for you. I believe this will help to take things off your mind as well."

He kissed her on the cheek once he finished his

sentence.

Vivian wiped her tears dry and started sharing her miserable past with Finnick.

"When I was young, the trio from the Miller family promised to bring me to the beach for a short getaway. I was thrilled because I had never been to a beach before. All I knew was that the ocean was blue with a horizon that would extend beyond the boundary."

Finnick inched over and placed Vivian's head on his lap, instructing her to lie and relax.

"I enjoy being by the beach because it gives me a sense of security. Back then, we dropped by the beach at Mauritius, which was a romantic place that I had been longing to go to for a long time. Mom wasn't able to accompany me for the trip because of her work so she approved of the idea of me tagging along with the Millers. Initially, we had a great time as a family at the stunning beach, enjoying the gentle breeze. However, things took a drastic turn for the worse as soon as Ashley dropped her doll into the bottom of a pit. She threw a tantrum and insisted on retrieving the doll."

Halfway through her orated statement, Vivian heaved a long sigh of despair because the upcoming part of the trip wasn't as pleasing as the first part.

"Until now, I still have no idea if it was a mere accident or if she had deliberately dropped her doll as a way to get the better of me. I'm not accusing her but I could still vividly recall the vicious grin on her face when Emma instructed me to pick it up on her behalf. Emma said I was a skinny girl. Therefore, I was the best candidate available to retrieve the doll from the narrow pit."

Vivian closed her eyes and recalled the entire incident she had gone through in Mauritius.
