A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 544

In the beginning, Hunter had agreed to help Evelyn on account of their long-time friendship. More importantly, when he first laid eyes on Vivian, he found that her sophisticated air appealed to him greatly. Since the stars have aligned thus perfectly, why not?

When Hunter had really gotten to know Vivian, he felt his curious attraction toward her growing exponentially. No other woman had managed to ignite such a feeling of warmth within him as she did. His attraction to Vivian quickly evolved into affection. Hunter had thus already resolved to be honest with Vivian about his intensifying feelings.

Now that she had found out about it of her own accord, it was a relief for him in some sense. He no longer had to fret over how best to confess his love for her.

"Yes, it was Evelyn who first asked me to pursue you. She wanted to stop you from getting back together with your ex-husband.” Hunter admitted honestly.

"So I reckoned,” Vivian replied coldly.

Vivian knew that Evelyn surely had her own motives for introducing other men to her. And it had turned out to be exactly as Vivian guessed.

"Vivian, are you angry with me?" Hunter asked cautiously. This was why he had agonized over confessing the truth of the entire matter to Vivian. He was terrified that in her fury, she'd cut off all ties with him, and he'd lose her for good.

However, Vivian's sense of fairness prevented her from heaping all the blame on Hunter. He was clearly only a pawn in this entire operation. She shook her head.

"There's no reason for me to be angry with you. You did nothing wrong, after all. This is between Evelyn and me. It has nothing to do with you," Vivian replied shortly.

"As long as you don't blame me," Hunter said, heaving a long sigh of relief. He turned a beaming face towards her. "It would have been most dreadful if you decided to cut off all ties with me because of this. If you did, I'd be crying in a corner right now."

Vivian did not return Hunter's smile. Her face remained blank.

She certainly wasn't planning on doing anything to Hunter, but that didn't mean that she didn't find him despicable. In fact, Vivian had always found playboys like him to be rather loathsome.
