Vivienne responded with an indifferent “okay and then left with Percival

Percival looked at her and laughed. “Feeling smitten yet?”

Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, Vivienne’s cheeks flushed a faint pink. She cleared her throat and

mumbled, “Maybe a little

He was handsome, well built, considerate and a great cook

Mr Wolf was indeed perfect, to a fault

Percival sat down and enjoyed the sight of Vivienne eating

Watching her was pleasing to the eve and he felt satisfied even without eating anything

He just wished that time could slow down a bit. He was reluctant to send her home to soon

“Vivienne Percival propped his chin on his hand smiling as he asked. ‘How about staying the night?”

Vivienne looked up at him and saw the burning desire in his eyes. She smirked Mr Wolf, are you trying

to seduce me?

Percival took her free hand in his, and his cool lips moved closer to hers “Yes, Vivienne. I am trying to

seduce you?

Their temperatures gradually rose

Moments later both Percival and Vivienne were struggling to keep their emotions in check. They were

on the verge of crossing a line they shouldn’t

Percival quickly pulled himself together and mached out to gently touch Vivienne’s head “Vivienne, you

need to grow up a bit more

Last time, he almost lost control with Vivienne, which led him to feel guilty for quite a while.

He almost forgot that she was still a nineteen–year–old girl.

Vivienne with her heart fluttering due to his touch, was a bit disappointed when he pulled away. “You’re

doing this on purpose!” She swiftly accused him,

Percival, faced with her seemingly predatory gaze, felt a bit awkward “Sweetie, just wait until you’re a

little older. Wait until we can legally get married”

Vivienne found herself wanting to pounce on him again as she looked at his thin, attractive lips

On second thought, she better not

Mr Wolf was right!

She was still a child

Children shouldn’t do what adults do

Yes! That was how it should be

After dinner

Since it was still early Percival decided to take Vivienne for a stroll in the nearby mall

Vivienne didn’t need anything but Percival was always in the mood to buy her something.

No matter how much he bought, it seemed never enough. Nothing seemed to adequately express his

affection for Vivienne

As they were wandering around the mall, just as they entered a luxury brand store, a surprised voice

called out to her

“Mi Ellington?

Percival and Vivienne turned around to see Mila and Calista. The mother–daughter duo just happened

to be shopping there too, huh?

Calista stared at them. For a moment, she doubted her own eyes

They were only engaged, yet they acted like a newlywed couple while strolling around the mall. How

could she not feel envious?

Mila looked even more upset. Each time she had visited the Brooks Mansion, she had been turned

away. All because of Vivienne

Now seeing Vivienne felt like a bad omen it made her uncomfortable, even at a glance

Percival glanced at them without a second thought and turned back to Vivienne “Vivienne, is there

anything you’d like?

Vivienne glanced at the items on display, but she wasn’t particularly interested in any of them “Nothing

special. They’re all pretty ordinary”

Calista felt awkward when she realized that she was being ignored

When had she ever been treated with such disregard?
