Returning his gaze, she flung herself right into his embrace.
A long time had passed since Vivian heard Finnick whisper sweet nothings to her. But, what he had just declared was worth a lifetime of sweet nothings added together.
It was because those words were an accurate reflection of their emotions. Vivian felt that it was the sweetest thing that she had ever heard him say.
“Alright, alright, my silly gal.” Finnick tousled her head with a smile before wiping the tears off the corner of his eye.
Meanwhile, while having lunch with Larry outside, Noah couldn’t help but smile when he reminisced about his chat with Ivana.
Although they had not seen much of each other, Ivana seemed to have slowly grown on him. The moment he closed his eyes, the image of her would fill his mind.
“That’s right. I do like you. I started liking you from the moment you asked my help to massage Vivian’s brows.”
Just when Noah asked Ivana whether she liked him earlier, Ivana’s confession had caused his heart to beat furiously.
Noah had never been in a relationship before and had always maintained a cold demeanor. It was a miracle that he didn’t scare the girls off. And now, someone had fallen for him instead.
With that thought in mind, Noah couldn’t help but smile.
“Noah, why are you smiling?” Larry asked. It was the first time he had seen Noah this happy.
Larry remembered Noah’s expression to have always been cold. Hence, it was very rare to see him smiling as he did today.
“No reason. Quick, finish your meal, I’m dropping you off at school after this.”
There was no way Noah was going to share something like that with Larry. Telling Larry would make him a bad influence on the kid.
Pouting in response, Larry buried his head in his food.
Back at the ward, Finnick and Vivian were both lying in bed.
“Vivian, I’m sorry to have caused you to suffer.” Finnick realized that he owed his freedom to Vivian this time.
Without her, he didn’t even know when he would be released.
“It’s nothing. You’re my husband. Of course I’ll rescue you.” Vivian laughed before looking at the ceiling thoughtfully.
“What did you say I was?” Finnick caught the word amidst her sentence. Looking at her, he wanted her to repeat it again.
“What?” Vivian played dumb as she looked at Finnick.
“That word!” Finnick glared at her as if warning her to repeat it or else.
Left without a choice, Vivian repeated it, “Hubby.”
The moment he heard it, Finnick jumped in joy and hugged Vivian so tightly that he didn’t want to let go.
Ever since they got back together, Vivian rarely addressed him that way. But now that she did, it felt like a treasured moment for him.
“Hehe, alright. Let’s stop fooling around and get down to business.” Vivian suddenly remembered that there were several matters that needed their attention.
Although Finnick had been released, the company was still in turmoil as the dust had yet to settle.
Cognizant of the situation, he then listened in earnest to what Vivian had to say.
“Now that we have determined your innocence, we have proof that Evelyn was behind everything. I sent Noah to the nursing home to search for her but he couldn’t find her. Nevertheless, I still believe that she is definitely there,” Vivian declared. This was the first time she ever asserted something without any evidence.
“Mmm.” Giving it some thought, Finnick felt her assumption made sense and motioned her to continue.
“We have the police to look for Evelyn. As for the company, we have to deal with it ourselves.” Vivian explained to him what the current situation was as he listened intently.
In truth, Finnick already knew everything. But, he didn’t bring it up earlier because he didn’t want Vivian to worry.
“Mmm,” he continued to acknowledge what Vivian said.
“Therefore, I’ll get myself discharged tomorrow so that we can deal with the company’s problems together.”
