Sneaking a glance at Finnick, Charlotte whispered, "Ms. Morrison, since you're not planning to reconcile your relationship with Mr. Norton, can I ask you a favor?"
"What is it?" Vivian projected a calm facade, suppressing her irritation. She was unwilling to let Finnick affect her emotion.
"Later, we are going to ride the cable car to the camping spot. Could you let him board the same cable car with me? I wished to spend more time with him." Charlotte clasped her hands together as she pleaded.
"Well..." Vivian was stumped by her request. Will it be too intrusive if I make Finnick sit with Charlotte? If Finnick knows about it, he will probably be mad at me.
Charlotte grabbed her arm as she pleaded, "Ms. Morrison, please, help me this time. I really hope Mr. Norton can get to know me. Who knows? Maybe he will like me.”
She lowered her head to hide her face that was flushed scarlet.
Looking at Charlotte's beautiful face, Vivian was not at all surprised that she would think that way. After all, who wouldn't like a beautiful and young woman? Finnick was not an exception, or he wouldn't date Evelyn back then.
If Finnick falls in love with Charlotte, then perhaps he will give up on me. With that in mind, Vivian agreed to Charlotte's request, "Alright. I'll try, but I can't guarantee that he will ride the same cable car with you."
Charlotte beamed. "Thank you so much, Ms.
Morrison. Since you're Mr. Norton's ex-wife, your words definitely carry much more weight. If you help me persuade him, I believe he will agree with sitting with me."
Vivian frowned slightly. For some reason, Charlotte's words made her feel uncomfortable.
Yet, Charlotte didn't realize there was any problem with her words. The young lady was now sneakily observing Finnick, who was sitting in front.
