A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 255

"I've already started looking into what happened two years ago."

Vivian was taken aback but came around when she understood his intentions.

Uncovering the truth would allow them to put the rumors to rest.

She had often thought long and hard about the Incident. But she just could not figure out how it happened.

Vivian was contemplative. "I kept thinking whether it was because I offended someone or I was simply a victim by happenstance. Why else would anyone want to target an unworldly college girl? I had considered the possibility of someone gunning for Fabian, but I don't think that was the case because we had already parted ways before

that."

Finnick initially shared the same thoughts as Vivian until the perpetrator actively sought to destroy evidence pertaining to the incident. That was when he knew that Vivian was not an unfortunate victim of random criminal violence. Whoever was behind it must have been someone close to either Fabian or her.

Vivian too had once cast her suspicions on Ashley and Emma. But she did not feel like they needed to resort to such extremities as they already lorded over her.

Moreover, she hardly crossed paths with Ashley when she was in college and had no quarrel with her then. There was no probable cause for Ashley to hate her enough to do what she might have done.

As a draft blew chillingly into the vehicle, Vivian drew her body closer to Finnick's.

It was a difficult day fraught with emotions, but she felt better now that he was with her.

The corner of her lips finally curled up into a smile. Her fortunes were intertwined with that of this man's, making them inseparable.

Vivian nestled her head onto his shoulders like a kitten and soon fell asleep soundly.

The atmosphere inside the car was peaceful. The tension built up over the course of the day dissipated from the moment Finnick laid eyes on Vivian.

As he lowered his gaze upon the woman's restful face, he felt something tug at his heartstrings. More significantly, he felt a tenderness overcome him.

Some time passed before a call came through to Noah's earpiece.

He hung up after a brief exchange and appeared delighted.

In a barely audible voice, Noah said to Finnick, "We have received a very important lead, Mr. Norton. I believe it would be of tremendous benefit to Mrs.

Norton's case."
