“Sure, no problem,” Edward replied. He pulled down the duvet covering her face and kissed her cheek before going down. Wade was already on standby in the living room. After he grabbed some simple breakfast, Edward then went out to find Alfred was waiting for him in the car. While they were on their way to the office, Alfred filled him in with his schedule. He had a tight schedule today with several sessions of management meetings and internal meetings to attend. Suddenly, he chimed in, “Can yo
As Vivian snapped out of her trance, she flashed her classmate an apologetic grin and said, “What are you talking about? I asked you out because I want to treat you to a meal.” “Hey, hey! Look at this, this, this, and this. Are these dishes supposed to appear on a table when you are treating somebody to a meal?” Her classmate used her chopsticks to point at the few dishes as she curled her lips in disdain. “If you sincerely want to treat a person to a meal, you should’ve called that person in
Renne was waiting for Vivian to say something, but the latter just kept quiet. The expression on Vivian’s face was getting on her nerves. She threw the chopsticks on the table and said, “Oh, jeez, just spit it out. You know I’m quick-tempered.” After some hesitation, Vivian finally decided and said, “Renne, I need to get away from a particular person. I need to escape from Golden South City and hide someplace else. If possible, could you lend me your identity card for a while? I promise I’ll n
As she chided her inwardly, Renne reminded, “Take care of yourself. Remember to send me your regards once everything has been settled.” After she bade goodbye to Renne, Vivian went to a few luxury stores first before she got the driver to send her back to Edward’s condo. However, Edward did not come back home until she had fallen asleep. After he washed up, he threw himself on the bed and started fooling around with her. It was only after he was satisfied that he shot a question at her, “Tell
After hearing his answer, Vivian nodded slightly before suggesting, “Then, can I go back to my parents' house? It’s too spacious here and I don’t feel comfortable staying alone, so it’s better for me to return to my parents' house. Besides, I can also video call them. Perhaps, my father might relent after seeing me staying alone in their house.” Since it was a reasonable request, he found no reason to object it. When he thought she was going to celebrate the Lunar New Year alone, he felt even
She did not dare to cry for too long for fear that Edward would notice it when he saw her puffy eyes. Vivian wiped the tears away vigorously and knelt down on the floor. She was waiting for her phone to be switched on. Out of caution, she did not call Liam directly. Nevertheless, she connected to the phone internet and wrote an email to him currently on the other side of the world. She was writing it in the tone of an old friend. It appeared like she was just talking about the good old days wi
She could not help but burst into tears again although she was annoyed. “Damn it, Liam! Don’t talk about this kind of thing to me now. If my eyes become puffy because of my tears, that scumbag will realize it.” Liam smiled when he heard that. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Don’t you worry about your parents. I’ll arrange it carefully. Take care and be safe. Wait for my call.”Vivian replied to him with her assurance before telling him, “I’ll switch this phone off for now. I’ll switch
Ignoring him, she slid the gloves back on and put her hands into the pool to catch the fresh fish. Probably because the fish knew its fate, it thrashed about. Water splashed everywhere because of her battle with the fish. Still, she did not manage to catch it to put on the chopping board. At that moment, he could not suppress his laughter as he watched that while standing behind her. Thus, she felt slightly angry. She turned around and shouted at him, “What are you looking at? Come and help me!”
