Although his expression seemed no different from usual, there was a peculiar depth in his eyes as he looked at her. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists...Was he nervous? Vivienne suddenly speculated. Although she rarely saw him nervous about anything, rare did not mean nonexistent. But why would he be nervous now? However, his next action provided an explanation.Suddenly, he knelt on one knee in front of her and pulled out a beautifully packaged box from his pocket. Such a box usually contained a ring.Sure enough, when Asher opened the box, Vivienne saw a beautifully crafted diamond ring inside. It had a large pink diamond with small diamonds encrusted around it.Even if Vivienne knew little about such things, she could tell that a pink diamond was much more expensive than an ordinary diamond, especially one of this size."This is the ring I want to give you, Vivi. Will you... accept it?" He held up the ring, his voice hesitant.

Julian nodded.Ezra suddenly smiled, but there was something off about that smile, no matter how Julian looked at it."That's right, I know Vivienne, and... I knew her before anyone else!" Ezra exclaimed."She's getting married... she's actually getting married..."Suddenly, Ezra turned and rushed outside."Mr. Donovan, my leave application..." Julian's words were interrupted as Ezra disappeared from her sight. Confused, she scratched her head, feeling like what just happened was a foggy haze.Mr. Donovan... knows Vivienne? And his reaction when he heard that Vivienne is getting married was as if he wanted to intervene in the wedding!Intervene in the wedding? Julian was startled by the sudden thought that popped into her mind. She quickly took out her phone and dialed Vivienne's number, wanting to tell her friend about what had just happened. But no matter how many times she dialed, there was no answer.Julian had no choice but to send a text message and then walked back to her offic

"You're getting married?" Ezra's gaze fixed on Vivienne as he asked.Vivienne pursed her lips, turned around, and headed back towards the staircase on the second floor. This version of Ezra, filled with a dangerous aura she had never seen before, was completely unfamiliar to her.Ezra rushed a few steps and grabbed Vivienne at the staircase. "I'll ask you again, are you getting married?"Her arm hurt from his grip, and she frowned, staring back at him. "Mr. Donovan, this is my personal matter, I don't need to report it to you.""Personal matter?" He suddenly sneered. "Vivienne, how can you say this is your personal matter? What am I to you?!"She took a deep breath, realizing that he wouldn't let it go until he got an answer today. "We broke up three years ago, so my affairs have nothing to do with you anymore. We have a boss-subordinate relationship, and you have the right to inquire about my work, but you have no right to interfere in my personal life!"He pursed his lips, his gaze

"You told that boy that being a bastard wasn't something to be ashamed of, that even without a father, he still had a mother and that we were all our mothers' treasures. You said that you were also a bastard, but if anyone dared to mock him, you would beat that person up with all your might. So if someone dares to mock that boy again, you will help him beat the other person. You even drew a picture in the sandbox for that boy, saying it was your dream home."His voice echoed clearly in the night breeze, every word reaching Vivienne's ears. She looked at him in astonishment, unable to believe what she was hearing. She had mentioned to him that she grew up with her mother and didn't have a father, but she had never used the term "bastard." In this context, besides being a bastard, it could also imply that her father had died early or her parents were divorced.But now, he was clearly saying the word "bastard" in front of her. Moreover, the things he was saying were things she had indeed

When Vivienne returned, it was already past 4 a.m. The security guard downstairs seemed surprised to see her at this hour."Miss Sullivan, you're back," he greeted with a smile.Vivienne nodded absentmindedly and entered the elevator. Pressing the familiar number, she watched as the floor numbers changed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...When the elevator doors opened, Vivienne stepped out and arrived in front of her apartment door. However, as she reached for the keypad lock, she suddenly hesitated. Should she open the door? Asher must be waiting for her inside! When she came, her mind was filled with various questions, and she was eager to see him and find out the truth.But now, as she stood before the door, she hesitated. Her gaze fell on her right wrist, where he had personally woven a bracelet for her, and in her bag, there was the unfinished bracelet she had been making for him.Should she ask? Should she inquire about the truth? Should she ask if he remembered the scene when she and Ezra met
