Never Late, Never Away Chapter 689

Finnick frowned when he saw that Charlotte’s hand was about to touch his. He put one bucket on the floor before walking around Charlotte and continued forging ahead.

Charlotte was instantly dumbstruck. She didn’t expect Finnick to do that. In fact, she thought that he would act like a gentleman and insist on carrying the bucket so that Charlotte wouldn’t be worn out. I can’t believe he’s actually making me carry a bucket that heavy.

Charlotte gritted her teeth as she watched Finnick walking further away. She spent all her effort picking up the bucket before she stumbled behind him.

“Mr. Norton, p-please slow down. I… whew, I can’t keep up,” said Charlotte soon after. She was so tired that she was panting at that moment.

Finnick hesitated when he heard the pants behind him. He ultimately slowed down. She may be annoying, but she’s still just a young lady, after all.

Charlotte could help feeling delighted when she saw Finnick slowing down for her. I knew it! He does care about me.

Charlotte suddenly felt energy surging through her veins. She picked up the bucket and rushed to Finnick’s side before she put on a shy expression and said, “Thank you, Mr. Norton.”

Finnick’s eyes glowed with distaste when he heard the woman making that superficial noise. He didn’t look at her or respond to her words. Instead, he kept moving forward.

At this rate, we would reach the camp soon. That thought got Charlotte nervous.

No, I fought so hard to get some alone time with him. I will not go back just like that!

Her mind spun, and she tripped herself.

“Ah!” Finnick heard a loud shriek behind him. When he turned around, he saw that Charlotte had fallen, and the bucket was tossed to the side. Water spilled everywhere.

Annoyance flashed past Finnick’s face, but he turned around and walked to Charlotte, anyway. “Are you hurt? Can you walk?” asked Finnick.

Finnick’s tone was cold, but his words were spoken out of concern, after all, so Charlotte couldn’t help feeling gleeful.

She put on a pitiful expression and pressed on her ankle. Her voice seemed thick with tears when she said, “I think I twisted my ankle. It hurts so much.”

Finnick scanned the surroundings and noted that there was absolutely no one else around to help. He secretly sighed exasperatedly because he had no choice but to help Charlotte up.

Charlotte’s eyes shone with happiness when she saw Finnick helping her up like that. She deliberately acted like she couldn’t stand on her own and flung herself into Finnick’s arms.

“I am so sorry, Mr. Norton,” said Charlotte, but her body never moved away from Finnick. She even tugged her collar a little and rubbed her soft chest on Finnick.

Finnick was instantly infuriated when he saw that Charlotte was obviously trying to seduce him. How dare she still hold such vile thoughts towards me? He didn’t have much time to think before he pushed Charlotte away.

Charlotte instinctively stepped backward and steadied herself when Finnick pushed her away without any prior warning. She didn’t notice what was wrong until she was already standing firmly. At that moment, she was tempted to slap herself across her face.

Finnick couldn’t suppress his anger when he saw that Charlotte wasn’t hurt at all. His tone was freezing when he roared, “I warned you earlier that I will chase you out of Sunshine City if you try anything to get to me again. Looks like you didn’t heed my warning. Pack your things and leave the city on your own accord once this trip is over. Don’t force me to resort to extreme measures.”

What? Charlotte was momentarily stunned after hearing Finnick’s words. Her emotions ran wild when she finally registered what was going on. I worked so hard to create a stable life here in Sunshine City. Am I going to be chased out just like that?

For a moment there, Charlotte couldn’t accept the reality. She couldn’t believe that Finnick would actually do something so cruel to her. She couldn’t control her tears, and as she wept, she demanded, “Why? I am younger and prettier than that old hag, Vivian William. Why must you treat me so cruelly for her sake?”
