Vivian turned as white as a sheet. She bit her lip instead of affirming her best friend.“He came to see me the next day after I took the documents,” Renne continued. “As you told me, I passed the documents to him, and that was when he told me you’re expecting.”Vivian had deliberately suppressed the news from reaching Renne ever since it was confirmed despite the latter being her most cherished friend. It wasn’t because she distrusted her. No, it was because Vivian was ashamed. She was ashamed
The phone was picked up almost immediately. However, there was nothing but only silence from the other side of the line. Vivian was so nervous that her voice sounded high and strident. Her throat felt raw as the word slowly wrung out of her, “Hello?” “Viv!” Liam’s anxious voice cut through the line into her ear.Before she made the call, Vivian had commanded herself so many times that she must keep calm and that she must not cry. However, all the mental preparation seemed useless and her ment
In the next second, Edward opened the door. Standing at the door, he sighed and said, “Why didn’t you give me a response? You scared the hell out of me, you know?”Vivian was so nervous that her hands were shaking. She tried to make herself as calm as possible and glared at him. “Are you nuts, Edward? Can’t you see that I'm using the toilet? Get out now and close the door!” Edward was stunned for a moment, and only then he realized that she was using the toilet. It was such an embarrassing mo
“It’s very urgent to me,” he interjected with a smile. Then, he said again to emphasize, “It’s very urgent to me, Vee.” She raised her head to look at him. After a while, only then she nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do that if you wish. So, you go and pick a good day from the almanac, then we’ll go on that day to get the marriage certificate.” He did not know how to read the almanac, but he would not say no to everything she said. Besides, he also wanted both of them to get off on a good sta
After that, as if she feared that Renne could not understand what she was trying to say, she added, “Even if my parents were to ask me out for a meal, I might not go, let alone you.” “Quit being so dramatic. I just asked you out for a meal. I’m not asking you to come out and do hard work or whatnot,” Renne refuted. She behaved just like her usual self, and Vivian didn’t notice any weirdness in her. “I had a tutor that was very close to me when I was studying in the States. She’s getting marrie
It was an international call from Spain. The person on the phone was polite as he reported his findings to Edward, “Mr. Levin, I just got in touch with Miss Cassie. According to her, she and Mr. Fairdew broke up not long after they left Alicante. She has no idea where he is right now.” The dots were connecting, and soon enough a picture formed in his head. At long last, he saw the light why Vivian would have rushed into the bathroom and soak herself in her tears after meeting Renne. His counte
It went without saying that he knew what she was talking about. However, he didn’t expect her to confess everything to him, and her sudden frankness took him by complete surprise that his brain went blank. He did not know how to react, and it took him quite a while to come around. Lifting his hand, he collected her hair behind her ears as the question rolled off his tongue in a deep, hoary voice, “What are you up to again, Vee?” She smacked his hand away, lowered her head, and said, “Don’t tou
Vivian was truly touched by how much her friend was willing to do for her, but at the same time, she hated her boldness and recklessness. She grabbed Renne's hand and snarled coldly, “Can you stop sticking your nose into my affair already? It’s very dangerous. Edward Levin is a killer. He’ll kill you if he finds out that you’re helping me again! Renne, you’re not a heroine, and this isn’t something that you should involve yourself in. You can’t save me. You will only be a drag!” Renne was take
