Chapter 422 Every Man Has a Fool in His Sleeve.
Joe was speechless. He was just worried. Every man has a fool in his sleeve. He needed to sort it out
in 3 days. If anything went wrong, the merciless and impartial William would not let him go easily. But
now, he knew how to do it.
“I will send someone to watch closely on Alan. There’s no way that Six-ears just disappeared into
nowhere.” Joe said angrily.
James rolled his eyes at him, “Don’t forget you are the one to blame. Idiot.”
“Screw you!” Joe was irritated and punched James, paying no attention to the people hidden around.
The next morning, Vivian woke up among fragrance in the house delicately prepared by John. She was
kind of lost at first but when she saw the different ceiling and the soft and blue background, she felt
refreshed. She was in the house that John had specially decorated for them. It was not that big as
William’s manor or even the luxuriant place where she had spent four years with William. But this was
not small either, which had been decorated according to her taste and the style she loved. It was warm
and cozy with light blue color in the Mediterranean Style. How comfortable it was as if she could feel
the sunshine on the seashore. She only mentioned it once to John accidentally. She was surprised he
took it seriously and accomplished it perfectly in such a short time.
Knock! Knock!
Here comes the knock in a perfect volume.
Vivian quickly came to open the door.
“Good morning! Breakfast is served. May you a great day!” John said with a smile which was way
warmer than sunshine.
Vivian had managed to forget William and anything else and only cared about the tasty breakfast, the
good smell in the air and the considerate person in front of her. She finally had a break to let go all her
pressure, which had been on her for so long.
She stretched and washed up. Then she sniffed and asked, “Muffin?”
“You’ve got a good nose!” John looked up in surprise while placing the fried eggs and bacon in place
on the table. He said, “It’s my first time baking muffins. I only saw my family did it before. Have a try
and enjoy them if they taste good. If not, then forget about them.”
Vivian smiled and came over to the oven immediately, “They must taste delicious with the good smell. I
don’t buy that it’s your first time baking.”
“Is it a compliment?” John laughed.
“I should be more straightforward.” Vivian sniggered.
They smiled at each other. How harmonious and comfortable they were together. But it was soon
interrupted. John took the muffins out of the oven and came over to sit beside Vivian when the phone
rang. John was stunned for a second. He had turned off the phone so as to enjoy a great morning with
Vivian without calls from his parents. Why did the phone ring?
“It seems to be the telephone!” Vivian looked towards the sofa.
“Enjoy your breakfast. I will go and check who it is.” John laid down his chopsticks.
Vivian felt kind of frustrated. It should be from John’s parents calling so early in the morning.
The delicious muffins were tasteless now. Vivian signed.
It was indeed from Mrs. Reina as John and Vivian had thought.
Mrs. Reina said sincerely and earnestly instead of being harsh, “Hi, John. I have talked with your Dad.
If you really like Vivian, why not bring her home?”
“Hi Mom” John was kind of surprised. His parents strongly opposed them last night. He didn’t expect
them to change their minds so quickly. He nearly failed to respond.
Mrs. Reina seemed to sense his doubt and signed, “You are independent from us. Your Dad has
criticized me. It’s not a big deal that she has a son. Anyone could have made mistakes when they were
young. I’m Ok with her as long as she behaves herself. But as the old saying goes, love is in the eye of
the beholder. We have to see her in person no matter how good you think she is.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
John thought if his parents could be nice to Vivian, he would like to bring her home. After all, they
would be family in the future. He nodded and answered, “All right. When?”
Mrs. Reina was so happy. She said immediately, “Tonight. I have asked the servants to prepare more
dishes tonight. Remember to bring Vivian home tonight.”
John frowned and asked, “Isn’t it too soon?”
“The sooner, the better. Aren’t you eager for your marriage? Vivian will need to see us sooner or later if
she’s gonna be your wife. You have known each other for a long time, haven’t you?” Mrs. Reina tried to
persuade John.
John glanced towards Vivian subconsciously. He’d love to call Vivian his wife.
Suddenly the doorbell rang. Vivian looked at John who was still talking quietly over the phone, so she
stood up and went out to answer the door.
“Hello! Are you Miss Vivian?” asked the gentleman.
Vivian felt suspicious. She just moved in last night. How would anyone know her new address in such a
short time?
She smiled, being polite and asked, “Yes! What’s the matter?”
“This is your parcel. Please sign here.” He said with a relief.
Vivian nodded and signed, but suddenly she stopped and asked, “Are you couriers delivering so early
nowadays?”
The man looked awkward, which made Vivian more suspected. Usually couriers wouldn’t be delivering
goods so early in the morning. What was more, this man was more of a professional manager rather
than a courier.
Vivian looked at him with doubt and stopped signing her name. She asked seriously, “Who are you?
What’s in it?” She was not being overreacted. It was because of so many things happened recently that
she had to be cautious.
The man didn’t know how to answer, scratching his head. Then he went for broke and said, “Miss
Vivian, I worked for a law firm. This is the urgent documents from William, which he required to be
signed by you in person. Don’t worry. I don’t mean anything evil.” It turned out he was merely delivering
a parcel.
