Never Late, Never Away Chapter 265

Vivian kept picking up and putting down her phone many times, wondering if she should callFinnick. She was rather worried about him. It's so late now, did he have his dinner on time? Did heface any danger?

As Vivian was tired, she eventually fell asleep. It was already morning when she opened her eyesagain.

The first thing she did was checking her phone. To her disappointment, there was still no messageor news about Finnick.

Since Finnick wasn't at home that morning, Vivian went to the magazine company early. Besides,she would have a lot of tasks to finish that day because she took a leave on the previous day.Coincidentally, she met Fabian as soon as she arrived at the magazine company. He looked rathertired when he stepped into the building.

When Fabian saw her, he asked, “Are you alright? Did you not sleep well last night?” He couldclearly see that she looked pale with dark circles under her eyes.

Vivian smiled and replied politely, “Well, I could ask the same about you.”

They fell silent for a few seconds before suddenly mentioning different names at the same time.Both of them chuckled awkwardly.

“Finnick...”

“Ashley...”

Seeing that Vivian seemed like she wanted to say something, Fabian said, “Why don’t you come tomy office for a while?”

She agreed and followed him to his office.

When they arrived at his office, he made her a cup of latte, which was her favorite.

He handed the cup of coffee over to her and said, “I remember that you like this type of coffee themost.”

Vivian nodded and answered, “I'm surprised that you still remember about it.”

"Well, I have never forgotten about it.”

Vivian recalled that Fabian used to bring her to a café back then. Since coffee was rather expensivefor them as students, they only ordered a cup of coffee. Nevertheless, Fabian didn't take a sip at allbut only watched her finish the cup of coffee.

He used to say, “Vivian, I will build a large café for you in the future and collect different types ofcoffee around the world so that you'll be able to drink to your heart's content. Do you like my idea?”Back then, she merely thought that the man was joking and wasn't aware that Fabian was actuallycapable of doing it.

To stop herself from reminiscing the sorrowful past, Vivian immediately changed the subject and cutstraight to the point. “By the way, how's Ashley? Where did they go? And where is Finnick?”

Fabian replied calmly, “Why the rush? Enjoy the coffee first, and I'll explain it to you slowly. Besides,since you have a series of questions, which one should I answer first?”

Vivian was actually not in the mood to enjoy the coffee. However, since Fabian offered it to hersincerely, she decided to sit down and take a sip of it.

After a while, Fabian began to explain, “Finnick sent Emma overseas, probably to an underdevelopedand shabby country. Well, this way, she'd be able to stay away from you and she won't be able tohurt you ever again. I think Emma got what she deserves, and all she could now is to pray that shewouldn't have a miserable life ahead! Rest assured that since Finnick sent her overseas, he definitelywon't let her live the rest of her life in peace.”

That being said, Vivian actually didn’t care where Emma was and what she was doing. Instead, sheonly wanted to know what happened to Finnick. She was anxious as to why he didn't come homenor give her a phone call.

She continued to ask, “How about Ashley? Is she alright? Is the child in her belly fine?”

He answered, “Once she left the storage room, Finnick sent her to the hospital for a medical check-up and treatment. She is fine now after taking care of her wounds. For now... Finnick isaccompanying her.”

As soon as Fabian finished, Vivian snapped her head up and thought she misheard him. Finnick istaking care of Ashley? Doesn't he hate her and want to torture her?

Vivian paled and she could feel her mouth began to dry. She lowered her head and continued tolisten to him. Why would the overbearing Finnick take care of Ashley? This is not how he usuallybehaves.

She couldn't help but feel slightly jealous.

On the other hand, Fabian was also clueless about Finnick’s action.

He added, “I don't know the reason behind the dramatic change. But Finnick is treating Ashley withcare and is rather meticulous about it."

How is it possible that Finnick is taking care of Ashley in the hospital? Vivian was completelydumbfounded.

Irritation surged within her whenever she imagined how Finnick was staying by Ashley's side now.Nonetheless, she had faith in Finnick that he wouldn't betray her. However, her heart still wrenchedwhen she thought of how Finnick was being overly nice to Ashley. She recalled that she had asimilar feeling when she was a kid when someone took her favorite doll away forcefully.
