Never Late, Never Away Chapter 216

Vivian fled, only to intrigue her colleagues further.

Why is Vivian so secretive about her husband? Why does she refuse to introduce him all the time?When Vivian exited the company, she received a call from Harvey. “Vivian, I heard that your motherhas woken up. How is she? Was she hospitalized again?” Harvey asked.

“Mom has woken up, and she’s doing fine now. She needs to rest,” Vivian replied.

Harvey started reminiscing about the past, how he had fallen in love with Rachel at first sight atthose long black hair that cascaded down her shoulders and that pair of beautiful red lips.Unfortunately, he had to give up on her as he had to rely on Emma’s family's help to deal with thecrisis that the Miller family’s company was facing at that time. For many years, Vivian had held agrudge against him for his own perfidy, and Emma had not given Rachel a break, never letting himget closer to her.

Now that Rachel had woken up, he simply wanted to give her a call and listen to her voice and askfor her forgiveness. Just as Harvey was lost for words, Emma, who came out of nowhere, snatchedthe phone from him. “Hello? Vivian, is that you? It's me, Emma. We're having dinner together thisweekend and you have to join us.” Upon hearing Emma's voice, Vivian's hatred for her obsequiousfather deepened.

How did he even fall in love with such a violent woman?

Vivian didn't want to go back when she recalled how she was treated the last time she went back.She had had enough, and she wanted to avoid them as much as she could, so she said, “I'm sorry.I'll be working overtime on Sunday.”

"Overtime? That's not a problem,” Emma laughed dryly.

“Isn't Fabian your supervisor? I'll just ask him to give you a day off on that day. I don't care. Youmust come this Sunday.”

Why is she insisting on me going over this Sunday? She's not the kind of person who wouldgraciously extent an invitation.

Unable to turn her down, Vivian had no choice but to agree. Emma hung up in satisfaction and gaveHarvey a dirty look. “Don't look for Rachel ever again. Just pretend she didn't wake up.”

Harvey had wanted to ask more about Rachel's condition. But seeing that Emma had hung up thephone, he lowered his head in silence.

I guess I can only try to ask Vivian when she comes back this Sunday.

Finnick knew at once that it wasn't a pleasant phone call from the frown on Vivian's face. He asked,"How about I go with you?”

After a moment of hesitation, she said, “It's fine. Ill go on my own.”

Knowing the situation at home and the despicable attitude of those people, she didn't want him toget involved in such a problematic household. At the same time, she wanted to have a little moredignity in front of Finnick. Sunday soon arrived, and Vivian turned up at the Miller family’s doorstepas promised.

After knocking on the door, the housemaid ushered her inside. Emma was sitting on the sofa,drinking tea, and sitting opposite her were Ashley and Fabian. Seeing that Vivian had arrived, Emmagot up with a smug look on her face, saying, “What took you so long? The whole family is waitingfor you.”

When Fabian looked back and saw that it was Vivian, his heart lurched. “I'm sorry. I was caught in atraffic jam,” Vivian explained.

Fabian quickly eased the situation. “Oh, it's all right. We've just arrived as well.”

Ashley put on a placid look, not wanting to acknowledge her or spare her a glance. “Tell Sir to getready for dinner,” Emma said to the housemaid. “He's in his study tinkering with something.”Emma seems exceptionally happy today. Did something good happen?
