A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 428

Vivian accepted Finnick's explanation without a trace of doubt in her expression.

Taking his hands into hers, Vivian realized that she did not know what to say or how she could comfort him. She could only grip his hands firmly, hoping that it would give him some strength to pull through it.

Having figured what Vivian was doing, Finnick tapped her hand. "It's alright. I will sort it out, and you don't have to worry. Right now, your health should be your utmost priority."

A wave of emotions surged through Vivian's veins, hearing Finnick's words of concern. Feeling touched and hurt for him, she got up to hug him and whispered, "Of course. Everything will turn out fine."

"Yes, it will." Finnick returned her hug.

In the past two days, he had been out and about, trying to settle the dispute among his clients. He also had to fork out the time to meet with the reporters, and it was physically and mentally draining, to say the least. Being in Vivian's arms made his stress melt away in an instant.

For a long time, the two of them stayed in the same position. At some point, Vivian realised that Finnick was putting more weight on her, as though he was about to crush her.

"Finnick,” she softly called out when she could not hold him up any longer. However, there was no response.

"Finnick?" There was no response again. Raising her head to look in Finnick's direction, Vivian was amused to see the man sleeping.

Cautiously, Vivian leaned back and allowed Finnick to lay on the bed. After she covered him with a blanket, she caressed his face with her heart aching for him. Looking at how he was fast asleep, he was probably tired out from the past two days.

Afraid that she would wake him up, Vivian retracted her hand and quietly stayed beside him.

On the other hand, Evelyn and Mark were meeting at a hidden restaurant.

"Hmph, you gave me your promise at that time, but looking at how things turned out, it seems like you aren't that reliable after all. Vivian still managed to escape," Mark mockingly stated.
