"Hunter confessed to me, but I rejected him." Vivian summarized what happened earlier in one sentence and briefly explain to him.
However, Finnick wasn't happy to hear about that.
Hunter confessed to Vivian? How can I not know about this?
"Damn it! How dare he confess to you?" Finnick would never allow anyone to have their eyes on his woman.
Therefore, he couldn't help but feel upset when he heard Vivian's words.
"So what? It doesn't matter anymore. Didn't I tell you that I have rejected him? Don't be mad." Vivian didn't want to cause any trouble because of that. So, she was trying to calm Finnick down.
"It matters! He is messing with someone he shouldn't."
Vivian should have remained silent. The more she spoke, the more Finnick became jealous.
However, good always triumphed over evil. There was always going to be a way for Vivian to keep Finnick's cool.
Just as he was about to do something against Hunter, he heard Vivian's voice.
"Finnick, don't be mad. OK?" The best way to deal with an angry man was being whiny and giving him an innocent look.
Technically, the theory worked perfectly well especially on Finnick.
"Look. Since he confessed to me, it indirectly proves that you have a pretty good taste. Other than that, he did not succeed in the end. So, why don't we take the high road and forgive him?"
Vivian said gently while touching Finnick's chest.
"Fine, then. I don't want to be a petty person who holds onto grudges."
Finnick found Vivian's words actually made sense.
"Let bygones be bygones. If that's the case, I'll drop that topic. But if the same thing happens again in the future, I will make him regret his action."
Finnick never liked Hunter ever since he started courting Vivian.
Hunter even confessed his feelings to Vivian after they were officially together. How could he allow Hunter to dothat?
But, since Vivian said so, he decided to let him off once. Hopefully Hunter would behave himself in the future.
