A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 519

"Finnick, I really love you. Even though I'm crippled because of you, I've never blamed you. Over the years, you've seen how I-"

As Evelyn was talking about her grievances and feelings for Finnick, the latter interrupted her, "Evelyn Morrison, I think there's been a misunderstanding."

Evelyn was a little stunned when she heard Finnick call her full name and say something like this.

"What do you mean by misunderstanding?"

Taking a deep breath, Finnick thought of the doctor's advice and hesitated for a moment, but he knew that he could not let the misunderstanding go on.

He squatted down and looked into Evelyn's eyes, saying seriously, "Evelyn, I know that you become like this because of me. I'll be responsible for you and take good care of you, but," Finnick emphasized, "you're not my girlfriend. I don't have feelings for you either."

"That's impossible!" Evelyn screamed in distress. Then, she grabbed Finnick's hand tightly. "Finnick, you promised me five years ago that you will stay with me forever. You can't break your promise!"

"Five years ago, I did promise to stay with you and take care of you, but I did not promise to be in a relationship with you. Evelyn, what happened between us had already passed. Don't live in the past anymore, okay?" Finnick patiently persuaded Evelyn. He wanted to free his hand from her grip, but it was too tight.

"Impossible! You're lying!" Evelyn bawled, "For the past five years, you've been taking care of me, doing whatever I say, and agreeing to all my requests. I don't believe that you don't love me!"

"I take care of you because I'm the reason for your injury. It's because of guilt and not love. Do you understand?"
