All Chapters of Love's Redemption: A Second Chance Affair: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

After closing the glass door of the room, Vivienne gave a last look to Noah's sleeping figure before decisively turning her head around to leave. She was glad that Noah's bedroom had this separate way out which allowed her to escape without having to find her way out of this mansion. But she still didn't dare wear her heels just yet. Only after going down the stairs did she wear her heels and sighed in relief.The cool morning air brushed against her skin as she made her way down the gravel path towards the road. The sky was the canvas of pink and orange hues, the world still quiet and untouched by the day's hustle. She walked briskly, her mind racing with thoughts of the night before and complicated feelings that now entangled her heart. Suddenly, she felt water droplets falling and raised her head to see if it was raining. That's when she came across a woman who held a water hose and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't see you there."Vivienne wiped the water droplets from her face and sho

The restaurant atop the five-star hotel was a haven of elegance and tranquility, perched high above the bustling city below. As the elevator door slid open, guests were greeted by the breathtaking panorama of twinkling city lights stretching to the horizon.The restaurant itself was an architectural marvel, with sleek glass walls that provided unobstructed views from every angle. Soft, ambient lighting casts a warm glow over the space, highlighting the modern, minimalist decor. Tables were elegantly set with crisp white linens, fine china, and sparkling crystal glassware, each adorned with a simple yet sophisticated floral arrangement.Looking at the serving of Grilled Filet Mignon in front of her, Aurora sniffed the tantalizing aroma and grinned, "Ah! This is what I have been craving."Vivienne's smile was warm when she looked at her best friend's expression. She also picked up her knife and fork to eat the pan-roasted Chilean sea bass that she ordered as her main course. "Stop sniff

Noah was actually quite amused by her denial right now as he could see her eyes rolling around, trying to avoid his gaze. She wasn't that good at lying. What he didn't know was that Vivienne was actually a very good liar and also had complete control over her facial expressions. But as always, she seemed to stumble in front of him.Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Vivienne said to him, "Why don't you sit down? My neck is gonna get a cramp looking up at you like this."Noah also agreed with her words and sat down on the chair which Aurora had been occupying earlier. "Are you gonna tell me now?""What?""Why you left without a word?""Why can't I leave? I had something to do, so I left without waiting for you to wake up. Besides, was there a need for me to stay there? Won't it be awkward?"Noah observed her expression carefully trying to see through her meaning. "Why would it be awkward? Just because we slept together? I think I felt more awkward seeing you after ten long years.""I

Aurora kept silent for a while and just stared at Vivienne's face, trying to decide whether to speak out her thoughts or not. She knew that even if she didn't say it, Vivienne would still be able to understand her thoughts because if she couldn't even do this much, they really would have to re-evaluate this friendship between them."Don't you know already?" Asked Aurora. "Do you want me to spell it out for you now?"Vivienne raised her brow at Aurora, "I just want to understand your thoughts better so I can clear whatever misconceptions you have.""I don't have any misconceptions," was Aurora's answer in a serious voice. She called for the server to bring the bill and faced Vivienne once more as she went on, "I know you changed a lot in these ten years. You are definitely not what you used to be. And yes, I also knew that telling you about Noah's breakup won't make you hopeful to have a chance with him either. But at the same time, I also know Noah means to you. I have seen your strug

"How do you like the interior?" The man settled his glasses on the bridge of his nose as he looked at Vivienne. But when she turned her head to look at him, for some reason, he lowered his eyes, not daring to meet her gaze. There was no other reason except that he always got flustered around this client. He wasn't even an inexperienced young man, he had been working in this society for over six years now. And he had worked for all kinds of people. After all, Los Angeles didn't have a shortage of celebrities or affluent people. However, when he first had a meeting with Vivienne over the video call, he was momentarily lost.And it somehow worsened when he met her in person for the first time. He was even clumsy enough to spill the coffee on his suit. Fortunately, it was cold coffee or he'd have really suffered.Vivienne had looked around the place and she had a satisfied look on her face right now. Just thinking about having her own nest made her feel excited. Although this nest was a
