As Finnick looked up, he was dazed upon seeing her look. His smile disappeared as he pursed his lips, his eyes full of disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Vivian was confused by his reaction.
Finnick soon came back to his senses. He asked faintly, "You've bought new clothes today?"
"Yes." Inexplicably, Vivian felt nervous when the man asked her about the dress. "I went shopping with Elaine today, and I bought it since it suits me.
Does it not look nice?"
Finnick paused for a while before he answered, "The style of the dress doesn't suit you. Listen to me, go get changed."
Hearing that, Vivian uttered a response before she went upstairs, downhearted.
In the bedroom, she had changed into her usual clothes. She was now staring at the white dress that was lying on the bed.
Her eyes prickled with tears when she recalled how she dressed up for him, waiting for his return anticipatingly. She felt suffocated, feeling like her heart was being tied into a knot.
Vivian William, don't weep like a baby! She took a few deep breaths and fanned her eyes, blinking back her tears.
At night, Vivian got up to use the bathroom. When she climbed back into the bed, she suddenly heard Finnich calling the name "Evelyn".
She turned around to face Finnick. In his sleep, the man's brows knitted, and the veins on his temple throbbed as if he was having a bad dream.
Evelyn? Is it Evelyn Morrison? Finnick is dreaming about her? Tears rolled down her cheeks at the thought of her husband calling another woman's name in his dream, especially when she recalled him saying coldly that the dress didn't suit her.
She turned her back to him. Biting her finger, she let her tears surge out, wetting the pillowcase.
