"Didn't Bryan say anything strange to you?"Vivi, who was preparing warm water for Darren to soak in the tub, turned her head back when she heard Darren's voice. The man approached her while unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt."Everything he says always sounds strange to me. When has he ever been normal?" Vivi answered Darren's question as she helped the man unbutton his shirt."Yes, he's a very strange man. So just ignore what he says," Darren advised."Have you talked to him? He won't come here anymore, right?" Vivi asked."He's gone, so you don't have to worry about him bothering you again," Darren said."Gone? Gone where?"Darren squared his shoulders. "He can go anywhere and spend his parents' money like he's been doing all this time, and we don't have to think about it."Darren's hand moved to Vivi’s shoulder and lowered the strap of the housedress Vivi was wearing."I've already taken a shower," Vivi said, implying a rejection of what Darren was about to do to her."You can tak
"Ough! It stinks!"Darren walked into one of the rooms in his hotel, covering his nose so as not to smell the unpleasant aroma coming from someone he had left in the room since last night."He must think he's a prince. How could he get drunk until midnight and not wake up until noon. What a useless person!"Darren grumbled in annoyance before using his right foot, still wrapped in shiny loafers, to kick Bryan's body so hard that he immediately woke up with a loud groan as he fell off the high bed and rolled violently on the floor."What?" Bryan glared at Darren, who was arrogantly standing in front of him. "WHAT, HAH?! YOU WANT A– Ah! Ah! Aaaaaaah!"Bryan didn't bother to scold Darren because then he had to scream in pain from the multiple kicks Darren had thrown at his body. He had just woken up from his sleep, his life still not fully collected and his head still very dizzy from the hangover that had not disappeared, and now Darren suddenly attacked him so brutally. The poor man cou
"I want to cancel our marriage contract."Vivi opened her mouth but didn't know what to say because she was confused by what Darren had just told her. She thought she had heard wrong, but seeing how serious Darren's face was at the moment, she didn't dare to ask if he was joking about what he had just said."What does that mean... What do you mean by cancelling the marriage contract?" Vivi finally dared to ask Darren, even though she had to say it very carefully, and her heart was beating fast because she was afraid that if she misspoke, it would make Darren angry."Did I unknowingly do something wrong, and you don't like that you want to end our marriage contract?" asked Vivi.And, realizing this, Darren quickly shook his head to dismiss Vivi's worries. "No, no. I didn't mean an annulment to end our marriage contract. It seems I said it in the wrong way that you misunderstood it like that. About the three years. I want to cancel it," Darren said.This made Vivi blink her eyes in conf
"That woman refused to leave before seeing you. We also didn't dare to force her out because she said she was pregnant with Mr. Hart's child."Vivi walked toward the living room, listening to the words of the maid who walked behind her while her eyes stared intently at the woman who sat arrogantly with her legs crossed."You can go back to your work. I'll take care of this myself," Vivi said, causing the maid to leave her immediately.Vivi continued her steps towards the woman. The woman saw Vivi approaching, but without reducing her arrogant attitude, she stared at Vivi by raising her chin, while her eyes gave Vivi an appraising look that seemed insulting."What's wrong with you coming to my house so early and disturbing my rest?" asked Vivi."Oh, sorry. I didn't recognize you because you look so different from the photos I saw on the Internet," the woman said as she stopped crossing her legs.But it wasn’t because she wanted to disrespect Vivi because then, accompanied by a smile th
"So this is what she does when I'm not home?"Darren still had some work to do in Beijing, but since his longing for Vivi was unbearable, he left it to his secretary and went straight home without any plans during his conversation with Bryan.The sun hadn't even risen when Darren arrived at his house, but the first thing he saw when he entered his room made his heart melt as if very warm sunlight was shining on him.On the bed, which always bears witness to how hot his marriage with Vivi is, Darren sees Vivi sleeping peacefully on her side of the bed - which makes Darren smile unconsciously as he thinks that Vivi must miss him too much to sleep in his place using his pillow.But that wasn’t the only reason for Darren's smile, which grew wider and wider. Another thing that feels sweeter to Darren is the tie wrapped around the wrist of Vivi's left hand that Vivi put to sleep to reduce her longing for Darren.Darren sat on the edge of the bed, close enough to Vivi that he could look at h
"You're alone? Where's Bryan?"Darren, who had been sitting with his arms folded across his chest, raised his head when he heard Vivi's voice and immediately reached out to take the glass of coffee she offered him."He's in the next room," Darren said, which made Vivi look at him in surprise. As far as she knew, the next room was also a medical room. "He fainted after seeing his dad's body. The doctor said he was shocked and exhausted, so he had to be infused."Vivi, who was already sitting next to Darren, let out a long sigh as she looked at Mrs. Walters, who was still in a coma while Darren drank his coffee next to her to help him stay awake. Although the percentage of success was very low, Mrs. Walters could undergo the surgery and pass the critical stage."I didn't think Bryan was that close to his parents," Vivi said, causing Darren to turn to her. "But it seems like he's devastated to be like this. I wasn't like that when my mom died.""What did you do when your mom died?" Darre
"Are you sure you're strong enough? You know you don't have to""I do, Bryan." Mrs. Walters' words interrupted Bryan's speech and instantly silenced her son. She looked at Bryan sadly and added, "I've been with your dad everywhere for decades. He's probably confused now that he has to go alone without me by his side.""No way!" Bryan shook his head with teary eyes, trying hard to keep his tears from falling in front of his mother."This time, you can't go with Dad. You have to stay here with me! I won't let you go with Dad. I won't be able to if you go too," Bryan cried, which made Darren, who had been watching them, decide to move away because if he looked at them any longer, he would cry along with Bryan, who was already sobbing.'I arrived at the funeral home.'Darren read the message that Vivi had sent him. It made his chest tighten because no matter how much he wished that all of this was just a bad dream, Mr Walter's funeral today had become proof that it really happened. Today,
"Why are you still working at this hour?"Darren, who had been very focused on the work on his computer, immediately shifted his attention when he heard Vivi's voice. And a soft smile - Vivi was the only person in the world who could see such a soft smile from the iceberg man- immediately formed on his lips when he saw Vivi walking towards him in her white nightgown."And why are you up at this hour?" Darren turned Vivi's question around as he extended his hand to her.Vivi, who was very used to this, took Darren's hand and let him sit her on his lap, facing Darren's computer."I woke up because I was thirsty," Vivi said. Then she turned to Darren, who held her waist with his left hand while his right hand controlled the mouse on the table. "Did you not sleep at all?""I took a short sleep to get rid of my sleepiness and then got up to work," said Darren, who could still concentrate on his work, although his position with his chin resting on Vivi's shoulder looked very relaxed."You s
