When they arrived at the restaurant, Vivian helped Finnick to get out of the car. The usher outside the door welcomed them warmly as soon as he saw them.
"Mr. Norton, are you coming for a meal with Mrs. Norton? We have a private room upstairs." The usher quickly asked when he saw Finnick's wheelchair, "Do you need help? I'll get someone right away."
Upon speaking, the usher tried to push his wheelchair.
"It's fine. I'll take care of it." Vivian tilted her body to avoid the action.
The other guests couldn't help but sigh as they saw the way those ushers treated Finnick and Vivian. They had never experienced such warm reception before. However, those ushers didn't care about how they thought.
After all, he was Finnick Norton. If he were happy, the revenue of the restaurant would be a few times higher. Thus, their pay would definitely be a few times higher as well. So, how could they not be friendly towards Finnick?
"It's alright. We'll just stay on the first floor for a while," Finnick answered calmly.
"Sure, sure! This way, please." The usher bowed politely and welcomed them.
Vivian wheeled Finnick into the restaurant. In fact, she still didn't quite understand the reason for being there. They didn't come here for a meal often. Furthermore, it wasn't mealtime then.
But she was feeling a little bit hungry. Perhaps... I've used up all my energy back in the office.
Vivian's face blushed at the thought. It reminded Finnick what happened earlier as well when he looked up and saw the red blush on Vivian's face. His lips curled into a smirk.
Finnick told Vivian to push him to a table at the corner of the restaurant. It was a quiet and private area with a partition screen there.
"Finnick, why are we here?"
"You'll find out soon." He looked at the other side with his dark eyes.
Vivian was confused. She followed his gaze and saw the people on the other side. Instantly, the anger in her chest started burning.
Mark, Fabian, and Ashley were sitting somewhere not far from them and eating.
Vivian wanted to step forward and question them at that moment. She desperately wanted to know why they did such a thing. I don't understand. After all, we are a family. How could they be so heartless? Did they have to drive Finnick up to the wall?
