Vivian stood for a while before she sat down once again. Even though she did not comment, one could see the unpleasantness of her expression. The housekeeper presented a few dishes that she cooked up in succession. Those were all simple dishes, but they were scrumptious in every way. Edward ate a few mouthfuls of rice and looked up to see Vivian sitting there without doing anything. He picked up a piece of fish with the chopsticks and placed it in her bowl. “Eat more. Look at you. You’ve only
She was stunned for a moment and gazed at him dubiously. Edward’s lips cracked into a faint smile as he said, “I don’t own the hospital anyway. In addition to that, even if I do own the hospital, the doctor won’t have the authority to simply perform an abortion.”’While she refused to believe him, there was nothing else she could do either. Vivian sized up him for a moment before concluding, “Let go of me and I shall follow you to a hospital.”He let go of her and instructed the housekeepe
Edward lowered his head and took out a booth of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket. He knocked on the booth skillfully and procured a stick to bring to his mouth before lighting it up. He took a deep drag, then only raised his head to look at Vivian. He cracked into a smile and said, “I’m sorry, Vivian.”Vivian’s hands that were placed on the table were clenched tightly into fists. Still, this action of hers did not stop her body from shaking profusely. Her jaw was tightly clenched such t
The man’s lips cracked into a faint smile as he answered, “I’m feeling much better.”The video clip came to a complete halt at his point. The screen was paused on the man’s gentle smile. Vivian stood over there with her entire body frozen into a stone statue, leaving only tears pouring from her eyes akin to a collapsed dam. As she looked up at Edward, she spoke in a raspy voice, “Are you going to use him to coerce me again?”The cigarette burned to its end between Edward’s fingers, yet he beha
Her gaze chilled Edward’s heart. He looked at her in a daze and clenched his teeth a moment later. He leaned forward and carried her from the bed while saying, “Viv, let’s go home.”Vivian did not speak or resist. She lay there quietly for him to carry. Then, she closed her eyes slowly. Edward did not send her to the villa. Instead, he took her back to the condo that he lived in on the usual days. He carried her to the second floor and placed her on the bed in the bedroom. She remained silent
Feelings? Had there ever been any kind of feelings between him and Vivian? Edward smirked mockingly and said in a nonchalant tone, “Shut up. You can either drink obediently or you can leave as well.”Jake laughed and shut his mouth obediently. There was a saying that went ‘you get drunk easily if you drink in anger’. Moreover, Edward had not eaten anything at all throughout the day, so he had only consumed a little more than a half bottle when he became tipsy. However, he was still a fine gentl
Jake was pinning Edward down strenuously at all times, and he shielded them with the car. He waited until the car left before he loosened his grip on Edward and said anxiously, “Edward, are you alright?”Edward’s arm was grazed by a bullet, but he had completely sobered up from his inebriation. He answered coldly, “I’m fine.”Jake acknowledged that with an ‘oh’. He could not refrain from hissing in pain and drawing in cold breath right after that. Edward turned around to look at him upon heari
Vivian didn't stay to watch. She turned away and vanished into the bedroom.Dr. Wright arrived promptly. The first person he raced to check on immediately was Edward, but the latter held up a hand and stopped him. “Inspect Jake first,” he said calmly.The agony of his wound was so overwhelming that it had utterly contorted the man’s features. Dr. Wright rushed forward and began inspecting it, ending his examination with a “thank God!” on Jake’s behalf. The bullet had burst through Jake’s shoulde
