Vivian’s body quivered. “The truth?”

Finnick nodded.

With a trembling voice, Vivian asked, “You don’t think that the version you’ve found out is the truth?”

Vivian gazed straight into Finnick’s dark eyes as if she were seeking something in his unreadable gaze.

Finnick also met her gaze. After a while, he said slowly, “I don’t think that you’re a woman who will betray your body for money.”

I don’t think that you’re a woman who’ll betray your body for money.

Those simple words were like a magical spell, causing Vivian to freeze in shock.

Observing Vivian’s reaction, Finnick thought that her dazed look was quite adorable. A smile played on his lips. “What’s wrong?”

Only then did Vivian realize her embarrassing reaction. Averting her gaze quickly, she said, “It’s nothing. I’m just a bit surprised.”

As he stared at her, his voice became a few notches deeper. “So? Are you willing to tell me, Vivian?”

When she recalled what happened that year, Vivian’s face paled.

Noticing her ashen face and trembling eyebrows, Finnick’s heart suddenly ached. He said, “If you don’t want to, it’s okay.”
