A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 391

"I guess the teacher doesn't want to make a big deal out of it since it's just a squabble among kids.But I'll have to teach Evelyn a lesson when we get home.

Benedict was embarrassed to look at Vivian when he made that remark. Evelyn probably did this intentionally so that Finnick would lose faith in Vivian.

Upon hearing that, Vivian was overwhelmed by mixed feelings. I can't believe how conniving Evelyn is. She's still so young!

"So, you're saying Evelyn likes Finnick, and she won't give him up? Does that mean she lied when she promised she would not get between Finnick and me?"

"I'm afraid so," Benedict nodded, "That's why I told you to be mindful of her."

Vivian took a glance at Benedict and asked, "Did you believe me when I told you Evelyn escaped without Finnick during the fire incident ten years ago then?"

"I did," Benedict nodded at first, but he added, "But I believe Evelyn didn't leave Finnick there on purpose.

"She must have panicked since she didn't have the energy to carry him. I guess she was too afraid to tell us the truth since she thought we might reprimand her."

Evelyn was Benedict's sister, after all. Thus, he did not wish to think of her as someone with evil intent.

At that point, Vivian was touched when she heard that Benedict trusted her, but somehow, she was still a little crestfallen. She was upset that Finnick and her Mom chose to believe the rumors on the Internet instead of her explanation. Yet, Evelyn's very own brother believed what I said. What an irony.

"Why do you believe me?" Vivian asked, "For all you know, I could be lying to you too."

"Because I know Evelyn too well," Benedict responded with a wry smile. He looked into her eyes and said, "You might think I'm crazy, but everything you do or say makes me want to believe you." After spending quite some time with you, I believe you're a person with integrity.
