    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 978


    She had almost forgotten that she had asked Benedict to buy her a car before. She never thought he


    would still remember it.


    Vivian abandoned her own car that still looked brand new and drove the one gifted by Benedict.


    Meanwhile, Paris was quite relieved to see Vivian driving that car. She had almost forgotten about the


    car. Fortunately, Vivian still remembered it.


    “Hop in.” Sitting behind the wheels, Vivian had returned to her calm self. Her impassive expression


    reminded Paris of the time when she first knew her. At that time, Paris was very cautious in case she


    might identally offend Vivian.


    After getting to know her, Paris soon realized that beneath that cold facadey a warm heart. She


    understood Vivian was now acting cold and distant because there was too much happeningtely.


    None of them spoke in the car. Vivian had always been a woman of few words. As for Paris, she


    thought it’d be better if she remained silent, afraid she might say something wrong and unknowingly


    upset Vivian. She decided to only talk to Vivian when they arrived home. Throughout the ride, the


    youngdy was looking at the passing scenery outside the window.


    By the time they reached home, Benedict was already waiting for them at the porch. His heart ached to


    see Vivian losing so much weight, yet he mentioned nothing about it. The purpose of having Vivian


    here was to cheer her up, not to upset her further.


    In a cheerful voice, Benedict eximed, “Vivian, you actually drove the car I gave you!” Initially, he was


    worried that Vivian might not even ept the gift. He was d to see her driving it.


    Vivian nodded. “Thanks for the car, Ben.” Then, she followed Benedict into the house.


    Benedict had had the food ready. In fact, the man’s cooking was much better than Finnick’s. In his time,


    he would search for new recipes and cooking videos to improve his cooking.


    Benedict was the one who prepared thevish spread of food before Vivian. To make thetter feel


    “Come, have a seat.” Benedict knew Vivian had changed a lot, yet he never thought the youngdy


    would distance herself from him.


    Vivian nodded and thenplied. Sitting at the dining table, she watched Benedict and Paris as they


    busied themselves in the kitchen. Initially, she wanted to offer help. Yet, seeing their loving interaction,


    she decided to leave the two lovebirds alone.


    “Paris, grab me the olive oil.”


    “Paris, help me tie my apron. It’s hanging loose.”


    Benedict would call Paris from time to time, asking her to give him a hand. Vivian could sense their

    affection for each other in the air. Soon, Benedict was done with the final dish. The three of them were


    now sitting at the dining table, enjoying their meal.


    “Vivian, try this one; it tastes delicious. You should eat more!” Benedict helped fill Vivian’s bowl with


    food. Then, he would nce in Paris’ direction to make sure thetter had enough food on her te.


    Although it was a subtle act, Vivian didn’t fail to notice it.


    Throughout the meal, Vivian remained silent.


    Knowing that it was not a habit of hers to talk while eating, both Benedict and Paris, too, ate their food


    in silence. They nned to have a heart-to-heart with Vivian after the meal in hopes of making her feel


    better.


    The two were acting in a constrained manner throughout the meal. Yet, Vivian was perceptive enough


    to notice that they were trying hard not to disy affection in front of her.


    Later, in the living room, Vivian listened as Benedict and Paris gave her the pep talk. They didn’t put it


    bluntly nor mention Larry, yet they conveyed their hopes for her to be prepared for the worst that could


    happen and stay strong.


    Vivian simply nodded in response. Soon, she left the Morrison residence. She should be heading home


    now as it was about the time she usually got off work. Anyway, she was d to have spent the time


    with Benedict and Paris, especially seeing them being affectionate to each other.


    On her way back, Vivian’s mind was flooded with loving memories of her with Finnick. We were so


    happy back then… Why would something like this befall our family?


    She wiped her tears and kept her eyes on the road. Everyone had their difficulties and issues in life.


    She needed to stay strong to avoid bing a burden to her family and friends.
