Vivian was panting at that time. Finnick was surprised to see her and quickly wheeled himself to her side. He took Vivian's hands and asked, "What are you doing here? Why are you looking so anxious?"
"Have you seen the news this morning?" Vivian asked tentatively as she wasn't sure if Finnick was aware of it.
"Are you referring to the news about you and me?" Only then did Vivian realize Finnick had already seen it. But, he didn't seem to panic at all. It was in contrast to Vivian, who rushed to his office immediately.
"Yes. You don't know this. They..." Seeing that Finnick was calm, Vivian felt sorry for him. How could they spread rumors like that when they knew nothing about the situation?
Finnick was not a cripple at all. He was only pretending to be one. The claim that he was impotent was even ridiculous!
Finnick merely chuckled, as if he wasn't bothered by those rumors at all.
Finnick got up from the chair. He wrapped his arms around Vivian and sat down on the sofa. "It's fine. Don't worry about it. Do you know what the most effective way is to refute rumors?"
Vivian raised her head and looked at him in confusion. What does he mean? Has he thought of a solution already?
"Hmm... Tell me! What is it?" Vivian panicked. She didn't mind about herself, but she couldn't tolerate how they thought of Finnick.
Over the years, he had been living a hard life for acting like a cripple. It killed her to see him being
vilified like that.
Finnick came closer to Vivian. He tucked her hair behind her ears, gently caressing her face with an affectionate look in his eyes.
Initially, Vivian was very worried. However, her face slowly turned red by his touch.
"Didn't you say you've got a plan? What is it?" Vivian asked in an awkward tone. She felt her heart skipped a beat by the way Finnick looked at her.
He noticed that Vivian was shy. Looking at her blushing face, Finnick couldn't help but feel love overflowing from his heart. He kissed Vivian gently on the corner of her lips and held her waist tightly. Then, he put his entire body weight right on top of Vivian and pinned her on the sofa.
"The plan is... You're going to have my baby now." After whispering softly in her ear, Finnick kissed her passionately. At the same time, he ran his hands all over her body and slowly removed her clothes.
