    A strong scent of perfume drifted into his nose and Fabian grimaced unknowingly.


    Ashley was undoubtedly adorable. Which was exactly why he had chosen her among so many other


    women.


    However, since he returned to the country, he had be increasingly irritable with Ashley’s temper


    and it felt as though she had be more overbearing somehow. Even her perfume smelled


    unpleasantly strong.


    Unlike Vivian, regardless of whether it was when we were studying or now, there’s always a faint


    fragrance on her. It was the shower cream she used, indistinctive, but always refreshing…


    D*mn!


    Why am I thinking of this woman again!


    The more he looked at Ashley, the more peeved he got, so he pushed her away directly. “I still have a


    meeting to attend to. If you’re tired, you can rest here for a while. Just remember to close the door


    when you leave.”


    With that, he stood up and left the office,pletely disregarding the pale-faced Ashley.


    Ashley clenched her fist tightly as she watched Fabian walking out of his office, and the fiery red


    fingernails of hers almost poked through her palm.


    Was it an illusion? She felt that ever since Fabian met Vivian, he had be more distant from her.


    Could it be that he isn’tpletely over her?


    No!


    It’s impossible!


    He was even ready to mortify Vivian. How can he still have feelings for her?


    Wait a minute.


    Is it possible that it’s actually Fabian’s n to separate Finnick and Vivian so that she bes single


    again?


    When this thought emerged in Ashley’s mind, her face turned even paler.


    Sh*t!


    No! There’s no way I’m leaving Vivian with any chance of turning around!


    Biting her lips, Ashley came up with a plot in her mind.


    …


    When Ashley left Fabian’s office, the staff in the magazinepany couldn’t help but start another


    round of gossip.


    “Oh my goodness! So that’s the fiancée of our Chief Editor? She looks gorgeous and her fashion sense


    is fantastic as well.” Sarah was astonished and eximed in admiration.


    Vivian sat at her ce; her gaze swept over Ashley and the gleam in her eyes darkened.


    That’s right. Ashley has always been very charming and her presence was just like a princess since


    young. She always looks stunning.


    Comparing to her, I am just a nobody, always buried under her dazzling halo.


    Shannon who was sitting on the side heard Sarah and sneered, “Of course, that’s the distance


    between the legitimate fiancée and the third wheel. If I were you, Vivian, I would definitely back away.”


    Vivian shot a re at Shannon and stood up abruptly.


    Shannon nearly jumped with fright and she took a step back. “Vivian, wha-what are you doing?”


    “Nothing.” Looking at the paper tiger’s frightened expression, the scornful curve on Vivian’s lips


    deepened. “I’m only preparing to clock out.”


    With that, she grabbed her purse on the desk and left the office.


    She was rather fortunate for when she came to the elevator, Ashley had already left, saving them from


    another awkward encounter.


    As soon as she reached home and stepped into the house, she could smell the delicious aroma wafting


    from the kitchen, and she knew at once that Liam and Molly had returned.


    She washed her hands before sitting down to have dinner together with Finnick.


    Not knowing why, Finnick seemed bothered and did not have much of an appetite even being served


    with a table full of Molly’s sumptuous cooking. He took some food for Vivian absentmindedly while


    saying, “I’m free this weekend. Let me apany you to visit your mom at the hospital.”


    Startled, Vivian answered anxiously, “You don’t have to do that.”


    Lifting his eyebrows, Finnick turned to look at Vivian. “Why?”


    Vivian realized that her response was too curt and with embarrassment creeping on her face, she


    exined mindlessly, “My mom has just got a little better so she needs to rest well.”


    “I guess it’s some other reason than that.” It seemed to be crystal clear to Finnick. “It’s because your


    mom doesn’t want to see me.”


    Vivian’s hand which was holding the cutlery paused midair and she moved her lips. “Of course not.”


    “Why not?” Finnick was very calm. “I could feel it. Your mom doesn’t like me.”

    Vivian couldn’t think of anything to refute his statement, so she replied clumsily, “It’s not because of


    you. It’s mom being mom. She doesn’t like wealthy men.”


    Finnick was even more surprised.


    He had certainly run a background check on Vivian’s family and therefore, he was aware of the


    “mistress” or “third wheel” status of Rachel William.


    Finnick did not say anything but Vivian seemed to be able to read his mind. Sheughed bitterly and


    asked, “You know I’m an illegitimate daughter, right? You must be thinking how could my Mom dislike


    wealthy men after getting together with Harvey.”


    Finnick remained silent.


    “The truth is, my Mom has never really been together with Harvey.”
