Warren nodded. Even though Luca said so, his gaze followed her as she went.
Gordan stood at the entrance. He saw Luca getting out of the car and came closer to her. Then, he said, “It seems
like Luke treats you well. He even got a driver for you."
Luca nodded and replied, "I've gotten into some trouble. That's why he got me a driver. Aren't you cold standing
here?"
Gordan's gaze shifted away from her as he shot a meaningful glance at the neighborhood.
Luca waited for his reply patiently and said, "It's going to be cold when the snow melts. The weather forecast said
there's going to be a cold snap tonight. You won't be able to stand the cold with the layers you have on now."
Luca noticed that Gordan was not wearing enough layers to keep himself warm. It matched his personality too.
Gordan was good-looking. He was particular about dressing himself up too. He was someone who would rather be
fashionable than be comfortable.
Even though he was standing here waiting for Vivian, he was as outstanding as ever and attracted a lot of attention.
Some of the people even made a wild guess, wondering if he was one of those people getting ready to debut in the
entertainment industry.
"I'm not afraid of the cold. Go home. Luke will blame me for it if you catch a cold." Gordan refused to say anything
more.
Even Luke refused to help him, so he did not expect Luca to help.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuca was close with Vivian. Hence, she would only side with Vivian. Besides, what he had done in the past few years
was unforgivable to them.
"You can't meet the person you want to see even though you stand here. Mr. Norton, why are you being stubborn?"
Luca had been secretly suspecting if Gordan's persistence was because of his affection for Vivian.
Although Vivian did not look appealing, she had many strengths that made her personality shine despite her ugly
appearance.
No matter how much Gordan hated her, after years of living together, he should have noticed Vivian's strengths.
Her strengths were enough to make up for her imperfect appearance.
"This is a public street. I'm standing here enjoying the scenery." Even though they both knew what each other was
thinking, Gordan insisted on coming up with an excuse.
Luca shook her head. What a stubborn man.
Sometimes, Luca thought the two of them should clear the air between them. However, Vivian was sure that she
had made herself pretty clear in the agreement. There was no need to see each other and talk about it anymore.
That was why the two of them ended up like this.
Luca said, “Yes. This is a public street, and no one will care about how long you've been standing here. Besides, you
don't look like a bad guy either. Even the security guards won't drive you out. But will you be able to meet the
person you've been longing for by standing at the entrance like this? Mr. Norton, there are many exits in this
neighborhood.”
Then, Luca turned around and climbed into the car. She only said that to tell Gordan that he would not run into
Vivian by standing there.
Furthermore, what he did would not touch Vivian either.
Vivian would only feel troubled if she found out about it.
Gordan watched Luca get into the car from behind. He could not help but feel irritated. He felt like his secret had
been found out by Luca, and it seemed like it was hard to keep certain things a secret.
Gordan was startled for a moment as he watched Luca leave. However, was there anything he had to hide?
It seemed like... there was none...
Gordan took a cigarette out of his pocket. He lit the cigarette and took a puff of it. Then, he frowned in disgust.
The cigarette he used to smoke was bought in the Nordic countries of Europe. Vivian was the one who sent
someone to get them for him. The smell of those cigarettes was pungent, and Gordan enjoyed them.
The cigarettes he smoked now were no longer the ones Vivian bought for him. Gordan stubbed out the cigarette
and threw it into the trash bin.
He did not enjoy the cigarette, so he might as well not smoke it.
“What cigarettes did that woman buy for me?!” Gordan said in a depressed tone. Vivian would always keep the
cigarettes in a delicate cigarette case when she bought them for him. That was why Gordan had no idea which
cigarettes they were.
However, he enjoyed smoking the cigarettes, and he had always stuck to the same brand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVivian was willing to prepare those for him. Gordan did not have to worry that he would run out of cigarettes.
When he finished all the cigarettes in the cigarette case, he would always see a few new cigarette cases in his
drawer when he opened it.
Luca returned to the villa.
The three kids immediately came forward and surrounded her, talking excitedly.
Most of them were about how much they had missed her.
Luca felt glad that the kids loved clinging to her, but she felt sorry for them at the same time.
After Luca spent some time with the kids, she realized she could not see Vivian anywhere in the house. Hence, she
asked, "Where's Ms. Vivian?"
“Ms. Vivian is in the kitchen. She said she'd like to learn how to cook from Aunt Neile," answered Rainie.
Luca smiled. After she put down her briefcase, she let the kids watch a television show while she headed to the
kitchen. Vivian was helping Aunt Neile out.
“Vivian, you don't have to do this," said Luca. Vivian was Ray's elder sister, and she was Luke's honorable guest.
How could she let the guest cook?
“Come on. The semester hasn't started yet. I was bored after finishing my online course, so I came here to learn
some cooking skills with Aunt Neile. Aunt Neile, I'm quite talented in cooking, right?" Vivian spoke in ineloquent
English.
