A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 846

How could he feel good when his original plans were laid to waste, just like that?

Vivian had only intended to borrow a little but she ended up taking the entire sum tabled as Benedict could not be persuaded otherwise.

She was determined to return the money she borrowed someday.

Vivian held the check tightly in her hands. After she purchased her groceries, she hurried on home and got busy.

Anything too complicated was beyond her, but she could manage a simple leek soup well enough.

Before she was done, she felt a hand slid in from behind and wrapped itself around her waist. She giggled and leaned her head into Finnick's chest.

"Alright, alright. It's almost ready. Go wash up and prepare to eat.” When she turned, she saw that he seemed to be in better spirits than earlier.

That was a huge weight off her chest.

"Okay. Thank you, Honey." Finnick let his hand run teasingly off her before he departed.

Vivian chuckled before she turned her attention back to the pot.

The soup needed to be cooked at low heat over an extended period of time. Vivian was not sure how to control the temperature well so she dared not leave the kitchen.

She was worried the contents of the pot might burn if she did.

As it was not a demanding recipe, the soup was brought before Finnick in short order.

Finnick got a serving for himself and helped himself to it.

The result confounded Vivian's expectations and turned out rather decent.

After hearing Finnick's praise, she too got herself a bowl and sampled it very carefully.

He was not humoring her. Though not comparable to that prepared by professional chefs, it really was quite savory.

"It's good. And filled to the brim with my wife's love."

Finnick looked Vivian in the eye as he said this before he proceeded to tuck in.

With breakfast settled promptly, Finnick went right back to work.

"Alright, you go ahead. I'll go check on him." "Hey little pumpkin, it's time for school."

The boy was nowhere in sight when Vivian pushed open the door. That got her worried.

Where could Larry have gone this early in the day?

When Vivian walked into the washroom, there he was, brushing his teeth on his own.
