Lanie added, “If Ms. Luca finds out that you were just exaggerating, be careful as you might get beaten up."
"What are you talking about, Lanie? Ms. Luca isn't going to beat me up! No, Ms. Luca will never beat us!" Tommy
swung his little fists and said. He had never been beaten by their mother before since he was young.
It was the same for Lanie and Rainie.
Her mother treated them like treasure. How could she beat them?
Lanie shook his head helplessly when he looked at the smug look on Tommy's face.
People always said that Lanie resembled their father while Rainie resembled their mother. What about Tommy?
His smugness did not resemble either of their parents.
If it were not for Lanie seeing their mother get pregnant and give birth to Tommy, he would have suspected his
younger brother was adopted and he had nothing to do with them.
Upstairs.
Luca came to the guest room. Vivian did not lock the door. She peeped through the door and saw Vivian packing
her stuff.
"Vivian, why are you packing?" Luca immediately entered the room.
Vivian stopped and smiled at Luca. "I've been disturbing you for too long. Besides, isn't the school semester starting
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsoon? It'll be more convenient for me to move back."
"Vivian..." Luca could see that the smile on Vivian's face was slightly reluctant. She could not help but frown.
"Hey, I've settled the matter. He's not going to disturb me anymore once I go back there. Besides, it's an hour's
drive from here to the college. I wouldn't want to waste most of my time in the car." Vivian forced a smile as she
did not want Luca to worry about her.
"Have you really let it go?" Luca's brows furrowed even deeper. The brighter the smile on Vivian's face, the more
upset her heart would be.
"To be honest, I haven't, but it's over." Women knew each other the most. Vivian knew she could not conceal her
feelings from Luca.
"Then." Luca paused for a moment.
“After I left T Corporation today, I went to the courier express store and mailed the signed agreement back to
Russia. I even contacted my lawyer and told him to handle the procedure of auctioning the villa and the donation
after he receives the agreement," said Vivian.
Her family was wealthy. Hence, Vivian was not planning to take the money gained from auctioning the villa.
Vivian did not want to keep the things that Gordan refused to keep. After all, it would remind her how much Gordan,
the man she fell in love with, despised her.
After Vivian placed the last shirt into the suitcase, she smiled and said to Luca, "Luca, I'm officially starting a new
life. Wish me luck."
"I wish you live a life without worries one that's filled with happiness," replied Luca. What Vivian needed the most
was happiness now.
A sentence came across Luca's mind. When all the wrong people left one's life, the right things would start to
happen and a better life would be waiting for one.
Vivian was about to start her new chapter of life.
"Thank you." Vivian gave Luca a hug.
Luca had helped her a lot the entire time. Vivian was truly grateful for everything she had done for her.
"Okay. Don't get all mushy on me. You're just going back to your apartment. You're not leaving A City." Luca patted
Vivian's shoulder and looked at the packed suitcase. Then, she said, "Spend another night here. You can go back
tomorrow. I'll let Warren send you back when he sends me to work tomorrow."
"That's not a good idea. It's going to trouble you." Vivian shook her head.
"Tommy doesn't want you to leave. He might be upset all night if you leave tonight." Luca recalled how anxious
Tommy looked just now. He was not putting on a show.
He probably thought Vivian was upset, which was why she was in a hurry to leave. That was why Tommy was like a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcat on hot bricks.
Tommy was attentive, and he was sensitive to the adults' emotions. However, he was still young, and he would not
know what to do in some situations. That was why he eagerly asked for help when Luca came back.
"I see..." Vivian was slightly wavering. She thought of Tommy's cute little face, and she was reluctant to upset him.
"I have no idea how Tommy found out that you met that person today. He's worried that you got bullied. He thought
you were in a bad mood, and that's why you want to move out. The kid is still young, so he didn't know what to do
either. There was nothing he could do but feel anxious as he waited downstairs. Maybe you should stay another
night and talk to him. Tell him that you're fine. Then, let me give you a lift back to your apartment tomorrow
morning. The semester hasn't started yet. There's no need to hurry, right?" Luca convinced her.
"Okay." Vivian did not want to see Tommy upset either. She was touched to know from Luca that the child cared so
much about her.
Luca smiled as she had successfully convinced Vivian. Then, she said, "Come on, let's go down. Dinner will be ready
soon."
"Oh my, it's late. I was planning to help Aunt Neile in the kitchen after packing!" Vivian exclaimed. She glanced at
the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening.
