Chapter 87


    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 87


    Compared with the peaceful silence in Vivian’s room, the atmosphere on the other side of the Norton


    family’s old mansion was much palpably tense.


    Fabian walked into the room with a grim look. Ashley, who had already changed into her nightgown,


    went up to him in a hurry and hugged his arm. “Fabian, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for


    you for a long time after taking my shower.”


    She was d specially in her silkcy gown. Under the dim light, she appeared to be even more


    sensually seductive as she brushed her chest against his arm constantly.


    Even with a beauty in his arms, Fabian stood there stoically unmoving as he stared at her gloomily,


    “Ashley, do you have anything you want to exin to me?”


    Blinking with feigned innocence, she was perturbed by his straightforwardness. “Exin what? What’s


    up with you, Fabian?”


    “Those photos today.” Seeing her pretending not to know what he was referring to, Fabian began to


    lose his patience. “Who allowed you to release thosepromising photos of Vivian?”


    Ashley turned pale immediately.


    Does he know that I’m the culprit?


    “Fabian… You… Perhaps you have misunderstood something?” She started to panic as she


    bbered, “I don’t know how those indecent photos of my sister suddenlye about, but you must


    believe…”


    “Ashley Miler! How dare you! Still pretending at a time like this?” Cutting her off, Fabian could feel


    nothing but annoyance at the person currently in front of him. As his anger burned, he shoved her away


    and revealed, “Great Grandpa has already found out the truth! What do you think Great Grandpa would


    think about me after causing such a fiasco?”


    What?


    Even elder Mr. Norton knows?


    Ashley’s expression turned deathly pale.


    She did not anticipate that in her fervor to frame Vivian, she had instead shot herself in the foot.


    Gazing at Fabian in front of her, she knew then that he was her only bargaining chip. Her eyes quickly


    reddened as she pitifully tugged at his sleeves. “Fabian, I’m sorry. I truly am. I’ve been blinded by my


    own emotions, which led me tomit such an act. You won’t leave me because of this, will you?”


    As she pleaded, she let loose a few tears.


    Undeniably, Ashley was indeed beautiful. The sight of her sobbing in sorrow, albeit feigned, was


    enough to invoke sympathy. In the end, she was still his girlfriend. Fabian felt his heart softened at the


    sight and toned down his anger. “Ashley, tell me. Why did you feel the need to do what you just did?”


    Continuing with her act, she bit her lips and whispered, “Because I’m so afraid…”


    “Afraid of what?”


    “I’m afraid that you still have feelings for my sister. I’m afraid that you’ll rekindle your rtionship with


    her, and then… You’ll abandon me…”


    Fabian did not expect such a reply from her. Stunned for a while, he was at a loss. However, upon


    looking at her tear-stained smiling face, his heart ached. He reached out his arms and caught her in a


    tight embrace.


    “What a fool,” whispered Fabian to her ears. “After Vivian’s repugnant scandal two years ago, do you


    think I’ll still have anything to do with her?”


    Upon hearing that, Ashley still felt conflicted, perhaps it was due to the many unsatisfactory things that


    had happened that day, even hearing Fabian’s promise did not make her feel relieved, instead, it only


    aggravated what was within her heart.


    “Fabian.” Nestling in his arms, she could not help but asked, “If you had known that two years earlier…


    My sister… She did not actually do those things. Would you have reconciled with her?


    Deep inside her heart, this issue had always been the thorn in her flesh.


    She had expected that as long as Fabian and Vivian were separated, the two of them would have


    nothing to do with one another and would move on as strangers. Life, after all, was not some TV drama

    where the protagonists would still long for one another.


    However, that thought no longer gave her the confidence it used to.


    She had not expected that Fabian would end up as Vivian’s workce superior. In some sort of twisted


    fate, Vivian ended up bing Finnick’s wife, making her Fabian’s aunt.


    Since discovering that Vivian was working under Fabian, she had been worried that Vivian would take


    the initiative to rify what had actually transpired back then. Yet for some unknown reason, Vivian


    never made the move to exin. As puzzled as she was, Ashley was relieved as well.


    However, this matter still nagged her so much that she was still worried.


    Witnessing Fabian’s attitude towards Vivian recently, Ashley could not shake the feeling that she had


    underestimated the rtionship between those two. She was struck with panic, wondering if Fabian


    would seek to reunite with Vivian once more if he had learned of the truth about that particr incident


    years ago.
