A surge of exhilaration filled her and her eyes shone brightly. She quickly lowered her head to prevent Edward from seeing her current expression. She took a short while to calm herself down only then she said, “If possible, don’t deal with Chief Duy anymore, Edward.” He was still a little angry with her. The moment he heard her remark, he flattened his lips and asked, “Why?” Biting her lower lip, it took her quite some strength to continue what she was about to say, “He’s a drug lord. Anyon
The plane flew straight to Mali. There was someone waiting to pick them up when they arrived at the airport, then they drove to Alicante at full speed. Vivian knew that it was a city located in the southeast of Spain. It was a tourist spot and a sunny place with pleasant weather. She also knew that the surgeon responsible for Edward’s plastic surgery, Dr. Roberto Aderman, was in this very city.She had been extremely quiet throughout the journey because she couldn’t figure out Edward’s feelings
Vivian slept all the way through the day before waking up. She heard him calling out to her from the balcony when she woke up, “Vee, come out here.”She was still in a blur. She sat up on the bed for a while before wrapping herself in her nightgown and walking towards the balcony facing the street. It was already bright and sunny outside, and there was a fine and soft-looking sandy beach across the road. The wind blew from the azure waters of the ocean, sending them a slightly damp but refreshi
She slowly released her jaws and weakly leaned into his shoulder. After a while, she spoke exhaustedly, “You’ve won, Edward. I want to go home. I don’t want to see Liam anymore. I don’t ever want to hear anything about him again.”“Alright,” Edward replied. He paused then said, “Let’s live happily together when we get back.”It would be early spring in the country when they returned. As it happened, the willow trees were just about to bloom. Vivian got down from the plane and followed Edward b
Edward had already left by the time Vivian woke up the next morning. She put on her clothes and went downstairs. She had just had her breakfast when she received a call from him. He sounded like he was in a pretty good mood. “Did you sleep well?” he asked softly.“Not bad,” she casually replied.He chuckled softly on the phone, then lowered his voice and asked, “Did you have any dreams? How was my performance in your dreams?”“What dreams?” she immediately asked, a few seconds too slow before
She had left Golden South City in a hurry at the time and didn’t manage to go back to school to pack up her personal items. Later, when she sent her resignation letter while she was out of the country, she had quickly mailed the key to her office drawer to her colleague, requesting the latter to help pack up her things and take care of them for her temporarily.Edward was aware of this as well, so when she mentioned her intent to pick up her things from school, he wasn’t suspicious at all.Her
Vivian wasn’t too concerned when she found out that this had only happened last year. She absentmindedly glanced at the look on Claude’s face, then realized that this young man had revealed this to her with some hidden intentions in mind. She chuckled and said, “I’ve just returned from abroad. A lot of matters aren’t settled yet. I’ll give you my contact details once I’ve settled everything.”Claude couldn’t help feeling embarrassed after realizing that she saw through his intentions. He let ou
Nevertheless, he didn’t want her to find out about these things. Therefore, Edward simply smiled and reached out to pinch her ear out of habit. “It’s alright,” he replied. However, Vivian saw right through him. She cast him a sidelong glance with a half-smile on her face. Then, as she continued sorting out the items in her cardboard box, she said, “If it’s exhausting, just say so. Why keep it a secret? Even that well-known ‘genius’ couldn’t shoulder both legal and shady matters at the same tim
