A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 765

Finnick's face was stained with soot from the smoke and only his eyes were visible while his hair looked like a bird's nest.

Knitting her eyebrows together, Vivian took the pieces of wood from him.

"Let me try," she said lightly. She wasn't sure how to react or treat Finnick when he looked this strange.

Staring at her, he handed the wood to her and stood over her to see what she was going to do.

He didn't know how, but Vivian quickly started a fire without much difficulty.

This made Finnick feel somewhat inferior. He was a grown man, yet he was beaten by a woman at a simple survival skill.

But the truth was that Vivian was simply better at him at this sort of thing. And when he remembered that technically, he had only been beaten by his wife, he didn't feel too bad anymore.

Vivian started to busy herself in the kitchen, and Finnick once again recalled their life together five years ago.

Back then, the sight of her in the kitchen had been a common one that greeted him every day he came home from work.

Getting to see that sight again now was like deja vu.

Before Finnick realized it, Vivian had already finished cooking dinner.

He stepped up and helped serve the food, placing the dishes on the table.

Using his utensils, he cut out a large piece of the omelet and set it on Vivian's plate. She didn't refuse, nearly inhaling the food.

"Vivian." Finnick tried to start a conversation, but she stayed quiet, and only the sounds of them eating filled the room.

"Don't you think that this situation is just like before, when you used to cook for me?"

Her hands froze mid-air before she slowly lifted her head to look up at him. "Even if it was just like before, we can never return to what we were in the past."

Her tone was flat and completely devoid of any emotion.

"Please don't be like that. Come back to me, please?" Finnick pleaded even when he knew that this was not the best time to be having this

conversation.
