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!”
Vivian was so close that she could not even pretend that she had not heard that, so she feigned being surprised and looked up at him.Edward averted his eyes when they looked at each other. He lowered his eyelids subconsciously and avoided her gaze. He seemed to be slightly regretful about picking up that call in front of her. At the same time, he hated Estelle even more. He thought that her call was rather baffling. Obviously, he could not take that phone from Vivian and go to talk to Estell
She realized that he had no intention to leave, but she did not ask him to leave either. She took a blanket out and gave it to him. Then, she said, “You can just spend the night in my room. I’ll go and sleep in my parents’ room.” Edward was slightly surprised. He grabbed her and asked, “Why?” Clearly, she did not want to sleep with him at home. Nevertheless, she could only reply seriously, “Don’t you have to pay respects to your ancestors during the Lunar New Year? It’s an important ritual.
“It’s six in the morning. We’re too old to sleep much, so we woke up early.” Mrs. Carraway replied. Then, she said, “Isn’t it midnight there? I’m afraid that I’d be mistaken, so I asked someone else yesterday. Did you stay up late for the New Year? Come, wish us Happy Lunar New Year.” Vivian never expected that her mother to call her just for that purpose. She soon broke into laughter. She then immediately wished them and asked, “Are you enjoying yourselves there?” “It’s fine. There was
