A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 269

Everyone is on Vivian's side, no one is willing to stand by me and support me.

Emma suddenly remembered something and asked softly, "Ashley, is your..."

Before she could ask further, however, she heard footsteps.

Emma hinted at Ashley, "You have to protect your baby... The baby's your only leverage against them!"

Before Ashley could assure Emma, the video call was cut off.

I didn't even get to have a good look at Mom's face before it ended abruptly. I wonder when will I see her again...

Ashley sat quietly as she wiped the tears off her face and secretly made a decision.

Finnick arrived moments later, He decided to drop by since it was on his way.

According to Noah's report, Ashley had ended the call with Emma in the house moments ago, and Noah was waiting for Finnick's order on the next course of action.

Finnick thought it was necessary to negotiate terms with Ashley. He planned to repay her kindness and be done with her once and for all.

In the house, Ashley was sitting on a chair, lost in her thoughts as she gazed out the window.

Finnick couldn't help but think to himself, Where did the pure and kind-hearted girl from ten years ago go? How did she become such a vicious woman?Was jealousy such a powerful influence?

Ashley still had tears on her face, but she was calm. She watched as Finnick arrived in his wheelchair.

Finnick asked, "Have you met Emma?"

"Yes, Mr. Norton. But, I don't know if I should thank you or resent you. I'm afraid my mom can't bear such suffering. She had never lived like a peasant before. She won't be able to cope with it."

Finnick thought Ashley was right. My intention wasn't for Emma to live a comfortable life. She will not realize her mistakes if she doesn't suffer.

However, I still believe that my punishment was too lenient on her.

Ashley assumed that Finnick must have made a firm decision to send Emma away. She reckoned that Finnick would despise her if she begged him to let Emma go now. She was not a silly girl, thus, she decided to hold her tongue for now as the

current situation was not in her favor.

She said to Finnick, "You claimed that I have shown you kindness and you intend to repay me. How do you plan to do that?"
