A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 476

When she heard the trembling in his inflection, it wrenched her own heart. Was he frightened by what she said? She realized then how much he did not want to part from her.

"Okay." Vivian nodded as he held her in his arms. Her tears left a stain upon his shirt. Vivian felt the sense of bliss that she had been missing for a while.

"Today, I..." Vivian nudged and created some space with the intention of telling Finnick about her parentage, but the anguish on his face led her to pause.

"What is it?" he asked.

"It's nothing." She shook her head before she pulled him back in.

She expected that Finnick may not be able to accept that Evelyn had set her up at the moment, and it might be difficult to predict how he might take it.

It was hard enough for them to arrive at this point, so she did not want to get into another quarrel with him because of Evelyn. She supposed that this could wait.

Finnick did not press her on it either. He merely held her close and quietly basked in the tenderness that had eluded them for the longest time.

A few days had slipped by since.

Finnick and Vivian were able to get on amicably during this period. Even though he did not seem completely himself, he had not mentioned anything about aborting the baby, nor had they any further disagreements over that issue.

Vivian was moved by his steadfast acceptance. It also bolstered her resolve. She was committed to vindicating herself, as this was the only way Finnick would be able to fully accept and love this child.

This baby was what the both of them longed for, and deserved the best of everything. There was no way Vivian was going to let the child be born into this world deprived of fatherly love.
