Never Late, Never Away Chapter 682

Years ago, he got together with Evelyn. That time, we hadn't even gotten a divorce yet, so I can see why he kept it a secret from me, but we aren't together anymore. He can be with anyone he wants to be, and I won't stop him anyway, so why is he still lying to me?

Thinking about that past prompted Vivian to scoff. Maybe he's just used to lying. Ah, to think that his lies, which should've only worked on young, immature ladies, had touched me. That is so naive of me! When Charlotte saw Vivian's grouchy expression and noted how the latter never said a word, the former thought that the latter was going to deny the request. Charlotte stepped up and hugged Vivian's arm to request coquettishly, "Come on, Vivian. Didn't you say that you're no longer interested in Mr. Norton? If so, why won't you help me?"

Vivian turned to Charlotte and advised seriously, "Charlotte, I think you should just forget about him. Listen to me, he is not a good man, and you will just end up getting hurt."

Hah! Is that so? Or are you just saying all that because you regret divorcing such an amazing man? Despite Charlotte's thoughts, she continued wearing a sincere and hopeful expression.

"Vivian, I truly love Finnick. I love him so, so much that I don't care if I get hurt in the future. Please, just help me out once more and let us have some time together. I'm begging you, Vivian. Please help me. I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't go all out."

Love him so, so much, huh? thought Vivian. Bitterness spread across her heart.

She used to love Finnick that much as well and thought that meeting Finnick was the luckiest feat in her life. But look at how everything ended. The so-called luckiest feat is nothing but the biggest heartache of my life.

Unfortunately, Charlotte had lowered her stance to the point where Vivian didn't feel right to keep turning down her request, so Vivian promised, "Okay, I will help you out later if I have the chance." Everyone has the right to choose their own destiny. If she is so stubborn about being with Finnick, then who am I to stop her? Besides, she might put all the blame on me if I refuse to help her. "Really?" blurted Charlotte, who couldn't hide her excitement, "Thank you, Vivian. Thank you so much. If I end up being a couple with Mr. Norton, you will be the matchmaker that made everything possible. I will definitely give you a great gift then."

Hearing Charlotte's words made Vivian feel a little weird. All the latter could do was force a grin on her face. Dang, even I can tell that my grin has got to be ridiculously ugly now. Naturally, Charlotte noticed how forced Vivian's grin was, but the former was too happy to care about how Vivian felt.

"I'll be counting on you later, Vivian. I better return to my camp and touch up my make-up so that I am on my best look when I hang out with Finnick. Please remember to help give us some alone time!" "Sure," replied Vivian exasperatedly while nodding. After that, Vivian watched as Charlotte left happily.

Seeing how gleeful the young lady was got Vivian to feel blue. Problem was, she had no idea where that feeling stemmed from.

Is it because of Finnick? Am I upset because he is hanging out with a young lady? Vivian shook her head quickly and denied those thoughts immediately.

Perverts who love anyone they come across are not worthy of my time or my feelings. I will not allow myself to be sad!

Everyone was hungry after the camps were set up, so they started preparing for barbeque. Soon, the barbeque grill was set up, and a fire was lit. Someone suggested that they send two representatives to go get some clean water so that they could wash the utensils.

"Are there even any clean water sources on the island? We're not going to get the water from the spring, are we?" asked someone suspiciously.

The tour guide answered, "This island was renovated to accommodate campers and travelers, so there is a designated place for getting clean water. You will replace the place if you keep walking down this route." As the tour guide spoke, he pointed down a road.
