Vivian smiled bitterly, "This dress is limited-edition which costs a few thousand. I couldn't afford that."
Finnick nodded as he placed the photos back into the envelope and said to Noah, "Considering it was a limited-edition dress, it shouldn't be hard to find the authentic ones."
Noah nodded and left.
Finnick and Vivian continued eating pizza.
Vivian was unsure if she was overthinking, but she felt that Finnick had lost his appetite ever since Noah left. She glanced at him inadvertently a few times and noticed a blank expression on his face.
Was he....thinking about the kidnap incident ten years ago?
The media did not disclose many details as the Norton family intervened in the kidnapping case. It must have been a horrifying experience; if not, his legs would not have been severely injured.
Vivian was staring at Finnick's handsome side profile. Suddenly, she heard Finnick asked, "Do you like what you see?"
Vivian was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that Finnick was referring to how she was staring at him. She quickly lowered her head as her face became hot. "I'm sorry,"
Finnick let out a small laugh and did not say anything. They finished the pizza and Vivian went to take a shower.
Vivian exited the bathroom while drying her hair after a relaxing shower. Yet, when she walked into the bedroom, she did not see Finnick. Instead, he stood by the balcony of the master bedroom,
staring into something in a daze.
Vivian paused slightly before she took a few steps forward. She noticed Finnick was staring at a pendant.
The pendant was a very delicate crystal necklace. Vivian could instantly tell that the beautiful necklace was designed for women.
Vivian was surprised.
Finnick...was staring at another woman's necklace? Who was the owner of this necklace? Was it the woman that Finnick liked?
