“Of course,” Vivian and Finnick agreed in unison.
Just like that, all of them had dinner before returning home.
When they were leaving, Vivian and Finnick were reluctant to leave Larry and he felt the same way too.
However, they had no choice but to do so as it was more dangerous for him to stay with them.
Furthermore, it would be harder on him as there was no one to look after him.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t their fault at all. Evelyn was the source of all their troubles.
“Don’t worry, we will come and take you home soon enough.” Vivian tousled Larry’s hair as she tried her best to hold back her tears.
Once the tears flowed, all their plans would be for naught.
“Alright Larry, you have to be brave because you’re a boy. Take good care of Grandpa. Mommy and I are leaving now.” Finnick stepped in just when Vivian couldn’t endure it any longer.
Although Larry was upset, he knew that a boy had to be strong, just as Finnick had said.
“Alright. I’ll be good and wait for both of you.” Compared to Vivian losing her composure, Larry was a lot calmer.
He was aware that it must have been agonizing for Vivian to leave him. Hence, he had to put up a brave front so as to not make things any worse for her.
However, the reality was the exact opposite of what Larry thought. It was precisely because he was mature for his age that made Vivian feel sorry for him.
“Goodbye, Daddy, Mommy.” Larry closed the door right after he bid them farewell. Leaving Vivian and Finnick standing outside.
Vivian squatted down at the door and took a while to recover her composure. After that, she held Finnick’s hand and headed home together.
When they arrived home after a long day, they were greeted by an empty house. After laying down on the bed for a while, both of them quickly fell asleep.
In her dreams, Vivian saw Larry smiling happily at her and calling her Mommy.
After that, his expression changed drastically, and started bawling. He began accusing Vivian of resenting him and not loving him.
Finally, Vivian was jolted awake by the nightmare.
When she woke up, she realized that Finnick was no longer beside her.
Checking her phone, she saw that it was only seven-thirty in the morning. She quickly washed up and headed downstairs. There, she saw Finnick busying in the kitchen.
It seems he had woken up early simply because he wanted to make breakfast for me.
Holding that thought, Vivian walked to Finnick’s side and watched him cook.
Half a year ago, he almost burned down the house while cooking. But now, it seemed that his skills had improved a lot.
He must have been practicing in secret all this while.
Thinking to herself, Vivian took a seat by the dining table and waited for Finnick to serve.
“Good morning, Honey.” Holding a plate of fried eggs, Finnick gave Vivian a gentle look.
“Good morning, Hubby,” Vivian replied with a smile.
“Today, I hope we can pull ourselves together as the company’s fate will be decided here.”
Since Finnick’s return yesterday, he had gotten his employees to come back to work.
When he saw that everyone was present, he gave all of them words of encouragement.
As he had thought of a plan last night, his mood was exceptionally good in the morning.
However, it was a dangerous plan and was an all-or-nothing gamble. Nevertheless, he wouldn’t know if he never tried.
With that thought in mind, he led Vivian into the office.
The employees wondered if the lady behind Finnick Mrs. Norton was. However, they soon focused on their work after Finnick pressured them to do so.
As time flew by, it was already evening and time to check whether his plan worked.
However, before he turned on his computer, Finnick received a parcel of documents.
Opening it up to read, he realized it was a takeover agreement by the Neville Group.
Feeling upset, he realized a problem after going through it a few times.
Most of Finnor Group’s shareholders had sold their shares to the Neville Group.
If the president of Neville Group managed to increase his stake further, Finnick would no longer be in charge of Finnor Group. Instead, the president of Neville Group, Chase Neville, being the largest shareholder, would also end up being the Chairperson for Finnor Group.
