Never Late, Never Away Chapter 564
Looking at Noah, Finnick said, “There's one thing I would like you to look into.”
Noah replied, “What do you need, Mr. Norton?”
"Vivian's back. Look into her relationship with a man called Hunter Yates and report back to me assoon as possible.” Finnick clenched his fists when he was saying his words.
It never crossed his mind that he would have to investigate the relationship between his wife andanother man.
Although they were divorced, he still thought of Vivian as his wife, and no other man could messwith her.
“Mrs. Norton's back?” Noah was shocked, as he never expected Vivian to come back.
Recalling the time he forced an abortion onto Vivian, he started sweating profusely. Drops of sweatwere dripping down from his forehead toward his cheeks.
Did they replace out about this?
Seeing Noah's reaction, Finnick frowned in confusion. “What's wrong with you?”
“Nothing.” Overwhelmed by guilt, Noah wiped off his sweat with the back of his hand. “I was justshocked when I heard Mrs. Norton's back. When did she return? Have you guys... met?”
If they did, will Mrs. Norton speak to Mr. Norton about the abortion? Does Mr. Norton know aboutthat incident? If he does, what should I do? How do I explain it to him?
I had no choice but to obey Evelyn because my parents were held hostage by her. But if I tell thetruth, will Mr. Norton forgive me? Will Mrs. Norton forgive me?
Worry and fear began piling up in Noah's heart when he thought about it. However, he felt relievedafter a different thought came to mind. It seems Mr. Norton didn’t know about it yet. Otherwise, hewouldn't be so calm. But how long can I conceal this from him?
“We met some time ago.” Finnick never doubted Noah's loyalty. “Rest first before you proceed withthe investigation. Also, she’s called Vivian Morrison now. Don’t mess up the names.” With that,Finnick continued reading through the documents.
"Understood. I'll get on with it.” After responding to his boss’ orders, Noah turned around and leftthe office.
His steps were wobbly, but Finnick didn't notice as he was focused on his work.
Exiting the president's office in a daze, Noah felt his legs gave away. All he could think of was howhe should explain the incident to Finnick and Vivian and beg for their forgiveness.
In fact, he was suffering from guilt all these years. It had been five years. However, whenever he sawchildren, the image of Vivian pleading to spare her unborn baby would always surface in his mind,while guilt would come raining down on him and fill his heart with remorse.
Noah had witnessed Finnick's longing and tolerance for Vivian all these years. There were times hewanted to tell Finnick the truth so badly. This was so that the latter could see Evelyn's true colorsand get back together with Vivian.
However, he chickened out every time, as he had his worries.
“Noah!” Noah's train of thoughts was disrupted by an ear-piercing yell. Glancing back, he sawEvelyn wheeling toward him
Disgust settled itself deep in his heart, and he wanted to leave that place as soon as possible. Hehad been evading Evelyn all these years because he didn't wish to see her.
Every time he saw her bringing up her leg injury to convince Finnick into agreeing with herunreasonable requests, he wanted to disclose everything she did so badly.
"Stop right there, Noah!” Evelyn turned her wheelchair quickly and blocked his path. “What's wrongwith you? Why do you seem so out of it? And you even dare to turn your back on me? Do you wantto get fired?”
Listening to her threats, Noah felt like laughing. She thinks she can order Mr. Norton around? Shehad overestimated herself.
After snapping at Noah, Evelyn felt better. “Come with me. I have something to discuss.”
