From what Adrian had said, she now understood that he wanted to surprise his girlfriend as well — and it seemed she didn’t know about his coming. “So, what’s her favorite color?” Emily asked, rubbing her chin thoughtfully while waiting for his reply. But none came. “Wait… you really are that clueless about her favorite color? Huh?” she asked in a loud tone that made even the passersby turn to look in their direction. Some laughed amusingly as they caught her words. “Actually…” Adrian was about to make up an excuse, but she interrupted him. “No need to explain, I get it. It must be some online relationship and you just didn’t remember to ask the right questions, right?” she said, her voice half teasing, half certain of her own conclusion. She seemed quite young in the way she thought — a teenage girl with boldness unfiltered by the fear o

“So, because Tom sold the property here, and the Lancaster family business that’s in Mr. Alex’s hands has suddenly crumbled, they’ve had no choice but to return to this place — even though they have to bear the insults and gossip of the people around here. Not everyone really understands their situation, but still, some judge them as if it’s their carelessness that caused them to lose everything. And now, Vivienne won’t stop blaming herself — saying it was all because of her in the first place that their family business fell so badly,” Emily explained to Adrian, who seemed to be paying more attention than ever, as if he didn’t want a single word to slip through his ears. “But if you really claim she’s your girlfriend, don’t you know about her family company that suddenly crashed? I heard it was a rival who sabotaged her image and forced her to quit her business. But she never talks about it herself,” she added. Adrian remained silent for a while, saying nothing. Not because he di

“Vivienne,” Adrian called out her name in a soft tone. Even though his voice was low, Vivienne felt as if something had pulled her back from the depths of her thoughts.She knew she had heard a voice—one that wasn’t part of her imagination. It sounded so familiar that her heart skipped a beat.Her eyebrows raised slightly in suspicion as she turned to the side, wanting to confirm if her mind was trying to play another cruel trick on her.But what she saw next was what she least expected—even in her wildest imagination. She had only seen it as fantasy: Adrian, standing there.“Adrian Foster?” Vivienne muttered, her tone shaky as her voice cracked through the sentence.The next moment, tears streamed down her cheeks as though she were mimicking the river’s gentle flow.Seeing her reaction, Adrian stepped closer, and before he could say another word, she reached for him and pulled him into a warm embrace.“Did you

Adrian was quite amused by the smile he now saw on Vivienne’s face. Before now, she had worn an almost sad expression, as if tears would drop at any moment, but suddenly her face lit up.“I just can’t follow you to the city—I mean Vereluxe City—but I can go to any other city with you if you want us to live together…” Vivienne said. She didn’t even seem shy to say the words, but she ended her sentence and let her smile do the rest of the communication.Adrian felt like she was now flirting with him on purpose.It was almost strange to him that she was actually acting this way. In truth, he had expected so many other outcomes in this conversation—not a teasing mood like this. But he was still stunned about his own heartbeat that had gone wild earlier.He deliberately tried to calm himself down and not lose his composure again like he just did. He had anticipated so much—how Vivienne might confronting, how he’d explain things. Especially si

“Welcome to our humble home, son,” Emily’s father said as welcoming smiles filled his face. Looking at Adrian, he could tell he’s a young man and perhaps a wealthy one with his sharp black suit, neatly combed hair, and together with the shoes he’s on.Although the old man doesn’t know much about fashion, he’d bet that it must cost a lot to afford this kind of dress.Emily’s mother followed behind her husband as she also couldn’t help the smiles on her face, seeing that Adrian and Vivienne were walking side by side as they entered the house.“Isn’t this beautiful,” she said with pure excitement in her tone.Quickly after welcoming Adrian, she returned to the kitchen to prepare the meal for dinner.Adrian was discussing with Emily’s dad as the two men seemed to smoothly relate so well.“I really like that you two are getting along well, and I hope that this would last forever,” Emily’s father said sincerely as he looked at Vivienne.Ff ro Vivienne knew she really couldn’t try to protes
