Never Late, Never Away Chapter 515

Willed, Vivian raised her head and lifted her chin, staring square into Finnick's eyes. “What do youwant?” she questioned coolly.

Seeing Vivian's defense and indifference towards himself, Finnick felt a pang in his heart. He saw herleaving the stage just now the moment the auction ended and hurried towards her to catch up.Never did he expect her to react as if she saw something disgusting emerging from the sewers.Finnick took two steps forward, backing Vivian towards the wall behind her. With visible angerbehind his eyes, he interrogated Vivian, “Why did you give up our wedding ring for the auction?”Despite her anger, Vivian almost laughed. How dare he? What? Did he expect me to keep the ring"till death do us part?” Why should I when we're no longer married?

“Because I feel like it,” mocked Vivian, twisting her body away from Finnick, wanting to get out ofthis situation.

However, Finnick was not going to let her go so easily. He shoved her towards the wall, pressingboth of his palms by her side, locking her in that position.

"Feel like it?” Finnick sneered, a dry laugh escaping his lips. “Did you also feel like leaving me whenyou did all those years ago? Without a single word too, mind you. Have you ever considered how Iwould feel, Vivian Will—no—Morrison? Huh?"

“Excuse me?” Vivian snapped in disbelief, her anger flared up once more. Is he saying that I'm thebad guy? How dare he twist the story!

The gap between the two closed as Vivian straightened her spine, locking her gaze with Finnick's.Finnick could feel her hot breath on his skin with every word she spat out. Towering above her, hecould see clearly the slight increase in her height, fueled by rage. He was supposed to be furious. Hehad intended to confront her, replace out the reason why she left him. Seeing her like this, however, hefelt a wave of mixed emotions hit him.

Speechless, Finnick continued glaring at her. Five years. For five long years, he had not seen thisface. This face that he fell in love with—the one that had him smitten.

Finnick's gaze traveled down her face. Eyes, nose, lips— features he had once kissed and caressedlooked so familiar, yet so foreign. The Vivian he knew would never put on such bold makeup. Evenso, one thought rang clear amidst the rest. This is the woman I love. It doesn’t matter how muchshe’s changed, or how different she looks, she’s mine to hold forever and always.

Finnick's heart ached as his eyes began to glaze. With a step forward, Finnick planted a passionatekiss on her lips, no longer able to suppress his longing for her.

Shocked, Vivian froze, but after a second, she regained her composure and shoved Finnick awayfrom herself. Uncaring that she might smudge her makeup, Vivian wiped her lips harshly with theback of her hand and hollered at Finnick, “What do you think you're doing?”

The two of them had not seen each other for five years. Moreover, they're divorced—no longerhusband and wife. Ashamed, Finnick stepped back, knowing he had overstepped the boundary. Butseeing the one who had stolen his heart standing in front of him in person— knowing that theimage was no longer a figment of his imagination, how could he not pull her into a deep embrace?“Vivian, I...” Finnick softened his tone and relaxed his posture. He took another step towards Vivian,only to see her body stiffened and her guard raised.

Lowering his gaze, his eyes flickered across her tightly clenched fists. A wave of sorrow washed overhim. Does she really hate me that much? All these years... I've been a lovesick fool, and she hasnever been far from my thoughts. What about her? Did I ever cross her mind? Even once?Swallowing the pain he felt in his heart, Finnick gathered his courage and asked the question he hadpondered over for the past five years. “Why did you divorce me, Vivian? Why did you run awaywithout any warning?” Finnick asked as he felt the old wounds reopening.

Seeing the anguish on Finnick's face, Vivian's lips curled up into a sneer. This man sure deserves anOscar for this act he's putting on. Nevertheless, her heart clenched in sorrow. Despite everything,they had once been helplessly in love with each other, sharing so many lovely memories together.Yet, he still tries to pretend as though he had done absolutely nothing!

Where was he when Noah ordered them to strap me onto the operating table, forcing me toundergo an abortion? Oh, that's right, making love with his dear Evelyn Morrison without a care inthe world... All the painful memories resurfaced in her mind, chipping away the pieces of her heartshe thought had healed. The sneer turned into a bitter smile. Looks like I never did forget thosemoments, even after so long. It's as if it all happened just yesterday.
