Finnick was frustrated, too. "Evelyn, you were the one who insisted on coming to this cruise ship, saying that this is your birthday wish. That's why I brought you here. However, please remember that I'm here as your friend. I'm only here because you need help with walking around. Don't misunderstand our relationship. We're not a couple, and you're not my girlfriend. Please remember who you are."
The ruthless words from him made Evelyn pale. She never thought Finnick would be so straightforward with her.
"But you said you would be responsible for me for the rest of my life!" she cried out in a trembling voice.
"That's what I've said, and I won't go back on my words. I'll take care of your life for the rest of my life, but that doesn't mean I'll use my feelings to repay the debt. Please stop hoping that our relationship will ever be more than this."
With that said, Finnick left Evelyn.
It was not his wish to be so cruel to her, but his recent interaction with her told him to. If he did not do this, Evelyn would not listen to him; she would continue to do as she pleased by telling everyone she was his girlfriend.
Clenching the fork and knife tightly in her hands, an angry fire sparked in Evelyn's eyes.
Finnick, I've poured all my love for you all these years. How can you talk to me like this for that b*tch Vivian?
Evelyn wheeled herself, hoping to follow Finnick out of the dining room. To her surprise, instead of leaving the dining room, Finnick walked toward
Vivian and Hunter's table.
She began trembling all over.
What's Finnick trying to do?
Soon, her question was answered, as Finnick strode toward Vivian.
