Never Late, Never Away Chapter 869

This must be what fatherhood means.

Vivian looked on at both father and son in delight.

Ever since the company fell into dire straits, it was rare for them to experience happy moments like this as a family.

"Wait." In the midst of their joy, Finnick's expression suddenly turned wary.

He had noticed a shadow flash by them suddenly.

He figured that they were targeting Larry but decided against making their move due to his presence.

Frightened by that thought, he felt that it wasn't safe for Larry to continue going to school until the issues at the company were resolved. Vivian agreed when he shared his concerns with her. Hence, they took leave from the teachers on Larry's behalf before heading home. Despite seeing Larry smile all the way home, Vivian knew that he really enjoyed going to school and was upset that he now had to stay home.

"Larry, listen to me. Your safety is at risk due to what is going on at the company. There are some bad people who are looking to do us harm. Hence, you have to stay at home to keep yourself safe," Vivian explained in a solemn tone, hoping that he was able to grasp the gravity of the situation.

"Mmm. I'll wait till Daddy's company has stabilized before going back to school."

As Larry was a sensible child, Vivian was confident that he would understand their position after having explained it to him.

Furthermore, they were doing this for his own protection, which Larry understood well.

Vivian looked at him with a relieved expression.

However, it occurred to her that since Noah was in the hospital, they had a dilemma. They couldn't watch over him all the time and she didn't feel secure letting someone else do so. "Finnick, do you think it's a good idea to leave Larry with Grandpa?"

She felt that since Samuel liked Larry a lot, he would likely be willing to watch over him on their behalf.

"Hmm. I suppose so." Finnick wasn't sure if Samuel was willing to do it but it was worth a try.

"Larry, do you want to stay with Grandpa?"

They knew they had to seek Larry's permission before sending him to Samuel. Larry was mature for his age and had a mind of his own. Hence, Vivian wanted him to make his own decision. "Sure," when Vivian heard Larry's soft reply, she glanced at Finnick. As both of them nodded at each other, Finnick turned the car around and drove in the opposite direction. Since they were going to drop him off at Samuel's, they knew they couldn't go empty-handed. Hence, they decided to buy some gifts which would likely make him happy.

"Finnick, what if Grandpa isn't willing to help?" Vivian liked to worry more than the average person. She felt that they would end up in an awkward situation if Samuel declined to do so. "Don't worry, it's not like Grandpa has anything better to do. In fact, he is dying to have Larry over."

After all, Finnick knew Samuel best as he had spent a lot more time with him. Having her concerns addressed, Vivian focused on picking out health supplements as gifts.

Although Grandpa was advanced in age, he was a lot healthier than his peers.

Therefore, he hardly needed any supplements and it became a challenge to pick out what was suitable for him.

Previously, while Vivian was bored at home, she had read about supplements that were good for the elderly. Hence, after picking out some and paying for them, she left the shop.

"What's wrong?" After she got into the car, she saw Finnick staring out the window for a long time.

Curious, she looked in the same trajectory he was watching and saw a group of men in casual clothing, staring in the direction of their car.

Vivian was shocked. Were they following us the whole time?

If we didn't stop to get health supplements, would they have pursued us until Grandpa's house?

Vivian couldn't believe it. What will Grandpa do if they reach his home?

"Don't worry, there are tons of bodyguards at Grandpa's house." Finnick had shifted his gaze away from the rearview mirror. When he saw how worried Vivian looked, he knew what was on her mind at once.
