A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 761

An endless meadow, dotted with sprigs of brightly colored wildflowers, stretched out before her feet. It was enough to lift Vivian's spirits instantly.

But the gorgeous landscape went unappreciated and unremarked by Vivian, who only had eyes out for her lost child.

"Come on. Let's walk around and see if we can find anything," Finnick pressed. He thought he could say with some confidence that he'd figured out what they were here for.

The person dearest to Vivian's heart had been kidnapped. It must be why she'd come all this way to save him.

Having judged Finnick's proposition to be reasonable, Vivian decided to follow him forward. After all, this was indeed too much of an open

area for the shady exchange that was about to take place.

Besides, with the car right next to them, Vivian and Finnick might easily have gotten away with both the child and the money.

Her mind thus lost in thought, Vivian failed to register the extraordinary warmth that flowed from Finnick's hand to hers.

Suddenly, Vivian patted her pocket and realized that her phone was still with her.

She turned to Finnick and declared, "You may go now."

Finnick gazed at his vacant hand and smiled ruefully, looking at Vivian.

"Don't follow after me," Vivian warned. She was well aware of Finnick's obstinate character.

When she noticed him following behind her, Vivian snapped, "What on earth are you trying to do?"

She was in no mood to engage in a discussion of any sort with him. There was absolutely no way Vivian could allow Finnick to discover Larry's existence.

"I'm coming with you no matter what," Finnick said stubbornly. He met Vivian's gaze steadily.

Vivian knew that it would be impossible to shake Finnick off now. What was of paramount importance, then, was Larry's safety.

She decided not to waste her breath squabbling with Finnick.

After they had traversed a short distance, Vivian's phone rang. It was the kidnapper.

"Hello, where are you? I've brought the money with me," Vivian immediately announced, demanding the kidnapper's precise location.

"There's a little hut up ahead. Bring the money in with you," the voice on the other end instructed.

"OK," Vivian answered. She could not risk defiance now, with Larry's safety still hanging precariously in the balance.

Vivian approached the entrance of the hut with Finnick following close behind. He stuck fast to her, and there was nothing she could say that would effectively deter him.
