A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 93

Fabian took his lunchbox to the pantry to heat it up. However, he did not expect to bump right into Vivian and was stumped.

Vivian's face turned impassive. She turned around to leave but Fabian called out to her.

"Vivian!"

Vivian did not stop in her tracks and continued to head outside. She felt Fabian clutching her wrist, and she had to halt her steps. Vivian turned around and was greeted by Fabian's exasperated look.

"Vivian." Fabian's face sank. "I was calling you. Didn't you hear me?"

"I did." Her tone was cold. "I just didn't want to answer you."

Vivian's indifference pained Fabian. He unconsciously tightened his grip on her.

"Are you still mad about the thing that happened at the party?" Fabian tried to suppress his frustration. "I'm really sorry about that. I really have no idea about the photos. You have to trust me. I won't resort to such despicable acts."

Vivian did not want to take heed of him. However, when she heard him say "you have to trust me," derision fleeted across her face. "Trust you? Trust you how? Trust that you will destroy my reputation? Or trust that you will stop at nothing to torment me?"

Fabian paled at her lashing out at him. Furious, he demanded, "Vivian, don't you know what kind of person I am, given that we've known each other for so long? I wouldn’t resort to such deplorable acts even if I hate you!"

Fabian's words made her snicker.

Her mocking smile had a hint of helplessness. "Fabian, you asked me to trust you. But have you ever trusted me?"
