《Mommy I Found You A Hot Daddy (Vivianna)》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 It was hot... She felt as if she was being roasted on a fire. Vivianna Carlewood was groggy and drowsy. Her vision was blurry as she grabbed a person''s arm. She wanted to ask for help, but a strong masculine scent overwhelmed her. Her slightly open lips were blocked by force. She tried to resist, but the man did not give her any chance. He went ahead and devoured her lips. She should be repelled by this strange man''s kiss... However, why was she excited? The next second, she felt a sense of pain at the lower part of her body... This forceful sensation of pain overwhelmed her... Early in the morning. The golden sunlight shone through the luxurious curtains, illuminating all the ornaments in this ptial room. Messy clothes were thrown everywhere on the white carpet. The faint scent of lovemaking was lingering in the air. On the bed, a girl''s slender figure could be partially seen under a quilt with golden trimmings. She had a tiny oval face. Her facial features were delicate and beautiful. Her skin was as fair as snow. Her ck hair covered her shoulder des, and one could vaguely see the red marks left on them. It was as if cherry blossoms were blooming all over her body. In her deep sleep, she suddenly heard the sound of the door being mmed open. Although she did not want to open her eyes, she still forced herself to wake up. She opened her eyes. Just outside the magnificent door, she saw her husband Xenophilius Lambert''s ferocious face, and the shocked expression of her mother-inw and sister-inw. "Xenophilius..." Vivianna rubbed her eyes. When her gaze fell on the bed sheet, the quilt, the floor, the decor, and the whole room, her mind went nk for a moment. This was not her room, so where was this? "Xenophilius... Where am I?" She asked the man with a gloomy expression at the door. Xenophilius sneered, and his handsome face was full of spite. He shouted, "How dare you ask me where you are? Tell me, which b*stard did you spend the night with!" "B*stard?" Vivianna narrowed her eyes and tried to recall what had happenedst night, but she couldn''t. She remembered that she was drinking some wine with Jessamyn Sway in the cafe. Her sister-inw, Ysabel Lambert, and her mother-inw, Xymeria Cabidis, entered the room. Xymeria said to her daughter next to her, "Ysabel, take a good picture of your sister-inw after she slept with another man." "Slept with another man?" Vivianna''s brain exploded. "I... I didn''t..." Vivianna shook her head and tried to exin this situation. At this time, her mother-inw, Xymeria, walked to the front of the bed and pulled up her long hair. It was so painful that she straightened her neck, revealing her chest and neck. There were more than a dozen ring kiss marks, and this was shocking. "Take the pictures clearly," Xymeria said to her daughter. Ysabel took the pictures in high spirits while sneering, "Sister-inw, you had a good timest night!" Vivianna lowered her head in pain. Looking at the marks on her chest, some shameful scenes appeared in her mind. She thought it was a dream... Obviously, it was not! She looked in panic at Xenophilius''s attractive face, only to find that his expression was terribly cold. His sharp eyes were staring coldly at her, as if he was staring at a piece of garbage. "Very good, Vivianna. You dare to cheat within half a year of our marriage. I don''t care who you were withst night... Get ready for a divorce!" After saying this, he strode away without looking at her. Vivianna''s face suddenly became pale and colorless. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. A divorce? "No, Xenophilius, listen to me... It''s not like that..." Vivianna pleaded. She was naked, so she held onto the quilt tightly and wanted to chase after him. Someone pushed her roughly down on the bed. It was her mother-inw, Xymeria. She looked at her in shock and said, "Mother..." "You don''t have the right to speak to me, you shameless woman. How dare you cheat behind my son''s back? You bring shame to my family. Let me tell you, the Lambert family absolutely will not tolerate a sl*tty woman like you," Xymeria chided her. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 "Mom, it''s done," Ysabel Lambert said proudly, as she held her cell phone in her hand. "Vivianna, there is evidence of your affair now. If you know what''s good for you, divorce Xenophilius immediately or else I''ll send these photos to awyer and sue you for a divorce," Xymeria Cabidis said. Xenophilius Lambert got in his Porsche and saw a sexy figure sitting in the passenger seat. When the girl saw himing in, her red lips curved into a smile. "Xenophilius! Did the n seed?" Xenophilius stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms. He grabbed the back of the girl''s head and kissed her wildly. The girl put her hands around his neck and kissed him hard. After a long and fiery kiss, Xenophilius smiled as he leaned against her delicate forehead. "Jessamyn, I''ll be able to marry you soon," he promised. "Well, I have been waiting for you to say this for a long time now," she said. After that, Jessamyn Sway held his handsome face and took the initiative to kiss his thin lips. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. On the bed, Vivianna''s face was pale, and tears welled up in her eyes. The kiss marks on her body and the pain of her lower body caused her to panic and to feel uneasy. She had no memory at all in regards to the events that had transpiredst night. She picked up the clothes on the floor and rushed into the bathroom. As she cried in pain, she scrubbed her body violently. It seemed as though a strange man had contaminated her. In the afternoon, Vivianna returned to her wedding vi in a daze. In the bright hall, Xenophilius sat there, looking like a demon. In his dark eyes, there was a raging storm. He stared at her, as if he would strangle her to death at the very next second. Everything she had encountered this morning was a fatal and heavy blow to Vivianna. She knew it would be useless to exin anything to him. Vivianna looked at her husband who was on the sofa. She took a deep breath and said, "Xenophilius, I agree to a divorce, but I want 10% of my father''s shares back. The other 5% is my compensation to you." Hearing this, Xenophilius''s expression changed instantly. He had just consolidated his position as the president of Lambert Enterprise. If she took away 10% of the shares, his prestige and authority would be jeopardized, and he might even be demoted from his position as the president. He stepped forward coldly and sneered, "Vivianna, what qualifications do you have to ask me for shares? You betrayed me and cheated on me. You want to get rid of me with 5% of the shares?" "5% of the shares is still worth over 500 million dors. Do you think a 500 millionpensation is not enough?" Vivianna argued in a reasonable manner. These shares were owned by her father in Lambert Enterprise before his death. She couldn''t give them to the Lambert Family for free. Xenophilius''s eyes shed with viciousness. He stepped forward and grabbed her by the neck. "Vivianna, listen to me. You can''t take back your shares. You''ll have to divorce me anyway. If you want to go to court, you will suffer an even worse fate than death." Vivianna widened her eyes and her breathing was shallow, but her heart was in pain because of the man in front of her. His former gentleness and tenderness were gone. All that was left was his selfish desires and ambitious pursuits. However, her father''s shares... "Xenophilius... These shares belong to my father... Give them back to me," She cried hoarsely. "Now, they are mine. You can''t take them from me. Vivianna, either sign and get out, or... I will make you disappear from this world." Xenophilius threw her onto the floor fiercely. With a stone-cold expression, he threw down a divorce agreement. "Sign it!" he said. "I won''t sign it..." Vivianna bit her lips, not wanting to leave her marriage with nothing. "If you don''t sign it, you will not only lose the shares, but also your reputation and even your life," he threatened her. Vivianna trembled with fear. She raised her head and looked at the man who had promised to love her. At this moment, he was only ruthless, cruel, and vicious. She almost suffocated. Vivianna was in utter despair. She looked at the man who was driven by greed. He seemed like an evil demon. She knew that if she wanted to take back the shares of her father, she would lose her life. "Okay, I''ll sign it." She bit her lips hard and signed the agreement. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Xenophilius took the divorce agreement as if he had obtained lifelong wealth. He coldly announced to her, "The agreement states that you can''t get anything, and you have to move out tomorrow. Except for your belongings, you are not allowed to take away anything else."

She contacted her aunt in Country R, who advised her toe and live with her. Vivianna was also tired of the people and things here, but she discovered that her passport was still at the Lambert family residence. She had to take a cab back there. As she walked past the garden, she heard someone chatting in the bush. It was her mother-inw, Xymeria Cabidis. She seemed to be smiling as she said, "Now, are you satisfied? Xenophilius is single now, and you don''t have to feel wronged anymore." Vivianna''s heart was pounding, and she couldn''t help walking closer to the bushes. She saw the girl in front of her mother-inw. It was Jessamyn Sway. She was nodding shyly in a contented manner. "Well, Auntie, my father has decided to invest in Lambert Enterprise." "That''s great. With your father''s investment, it''s like the icing on the cake for Xenophilius. You will be my favorite daughter-inw," Xymeria said. "Auntie, thank you," Jessamyn said. "Why are you still addressing me as Auntie?" Xymeria asked. "Mother..." Jessamyn called her sweetly. "You''re such a good daughter-inw. I like you from the bottom of my heart," Xymeria said. Vivianna''s face instantly turned as white as a sheet. Her heart felt as if it was being pierced by a knife, and a surge of anger almost overwhelmed her. Many things seemed to be linked. Jessamyn had taken her to the coffee shop! She was disorientated after two drinks. When she woke up, she was at the hotel. All of this... was Jessamyn and her mother-inw''s plot. They wanted Xenophilius to divorce her. It turned out that Jessamyn''s father intended to invest in Lambert Enterprise. Her mother-inw wanted to kick her out and give Jessamyn a spot. Vivianna''s resentful face suddenly appeared in front of them. Xymeria was shocked, and so was Jessamyn. However, looking at Vivianna''s pale face, they knew that she overheard their conversation, so they showed their true colors. "Why do you have the nerve toe back?" Xymeria looked at her in disgust. "You... you all framed me. Why did you do this?" Vivianna questioned them in a hoarse voice with red eyes. Xymeria looked at her without any sense of guilt. "Vivianna, don''t go crazy here." Jessamyn crossed her arms and sneered, "Vivianna, you are so stupid. Do you really think that Xenophilius likes you? You still don''t see the truth. You are just a stepping stone for Xenophilius to be the president of Lambert Enterprise. He loves me." "Vivianna, you are divorced. The Lambert family doesn''t wee you here. Get out." Xymeria drove her away. "I''m here for my passport. Give it back to me." Vivianna red at her vicious former mother-inw. Xymeria also remembered that her passport was here. She snorted and said, "Wait, I''m going to get it now. Go away as far as you can!" Of course, she would not hold her back from going abroad. Now, the Lambert Family didn''t want to see Vivianna any longer. Of course, the farther she went, the better. As soon as Xymeria left, Jessamyn narrowed her eyes and walked up to Vivianna. "Xenophilius married you because of your father''s shares in Lambert Enterprise. To be honest, you don''t deserve him at all." Vivianna looked at the woman who used to be her best friend. Now, she saw hypocrisy, disgust, and hatred in her. She raised her hand to p her, but Jessamyn reacted quickly and grabbed her hand. "You are not qualified to hit me. Now, I''m just reiming my happiness and my rightful position. I''m destined to be Mrs. Lambert." "So, you guys set up the trapst...st night? All of you... including Xenophilius?" Vivianna burst into tears, and her heart was once again pricked until it seemed to bleed. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 "That''s right. Xenophilius and I have been in love with each other for a long time. His car ident was fake. I am the person who satisfies his physical needs every day. You have signed the contract. What can you do now even if you know the truth?" Jessamyn said. Vivianna stumbled two steps backward. Although her face was pale, blood seemed to course through her entire body. Her husband slept with Jessamyn every night? All those days when Xenophilius was away on his business trips, all those excuses to not return home, were all because of this woman? She was gripped by an intense sensation of pain and she felt a sense of suffocation.- "Who was that man? Who was that b*stard whom you arranged for mest night?" Vivianna red at her with tears in her eyes as she bellowed at her. Jessamyn looked at her and she was irritated. "It doesn''t matter who the manst night was. Most importantly, you did sleep with that man." "Tell me who it was! Tell me who it was..." Vivianna questioned her loudly as if she was going mad. Jessamyn turned her face away in annoyance. "Last night, we arranged a gigolo for you. He said that another man had gone into your room first. He wasn''t interested in a threesome, so he returned home. Whether the man was ugly or old, no one knows who he was." "I don''t believe this. I can check the surveince footage." Vivianna was trembling with anger. "What a coincidence. The surveince cameras from the hotel yesterday were broken." Jessamyn smiled smugly. That hotel belonged to the Lambert family. Vivianna''s face was as white as a sheet. Their plot was absolutely wless.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. At this time, Xymeria came over with her passport and threw it in front of her. "Take it and leave quickly." Vivianna held her passport. She stared at these people''s faces. No matter how enraged and hurt she was, she only felt a sense of utter disgust. She hated them so much. If she stayed for another second longer, she would suffocate to death. "I hate you. I hate all of you." With tears streaming down her face, Vivianna turned around and she left in despair. Looking at Vivianna''s slender figure departing, Xymeria and Jessamyn looked at each other. Finally, they had chased away this redundant person. Four yearster, at the airport. A young girl was holding a wee card at the airport. The sign read, "Chief Designer, Vivianna Carlewood." The girl''s eyes searched the crowd frantically for the person she was waiting for. Her eyes were focused on those elegant and dignified women. At this time, someone who seemed casual and rxed was pushing a cart out. There were two large suitcases on the cart. A little boy in a denim shirt, grey shorts, and beige sneakers was sitting on the cart. Among the people in the crowd, the girl''s figure stood out, as she was beautiful and slender. Her hair was casually tied in a bun. Her outfit was simple and neat. Her face was clear, and her facial features were exquisite. Her skin was smooth and supple, which caused others to feel envious of her. Looking at the little boy who was sitting on the luggage, his good looks were apparent, even though he was only three or four years old. His short ck hair and thin bangs covered his forehead. Under his eyebrows, there was a pair of lively obsidian-like eyes. With his shapely nose, thin pinkish mouth, and pale tender skin, he looked like a young model straight out of a magazine cover. The girls passing by looked at the little boy and eximed. He was such a good-looking child. They really wanted to kidnap him as their own! "Mommy, that auntie is here to pick us up," he said. Vivianna pursed her lips and smiled. Although her son was young, he knew a lot of words. She took a slight breath. She didn''t expect to return to this city again after four years. Back then, she had departed the city full of resentment, but now, she had returned with a calm heart. She was the only person who knew what she had gone through in the past four years. In four years, she had transformed and became strong. Moreover, she was a single mother now. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Fortunately, she had found a wonderful job with her talent at art. Through hard work, she had be the chief designer. Three years ago, after she had given birth to her baby, she began a career as a jewelry designer. Her work won several international awards multiple times. As thepany''s headquarters was relocated, she was also transferred to the new workce. She didn''t expect that herpany would finally decide to be based in this city. This city had brought heavy emotional damage to her. She did think about resigning and choosing another job. However, it had been four years, and her resentment had dissipated. She thought to herself, "Why would I give up my job, which I worked hard for three years, because of those horrible people?" She had already lost everything once because of them, and she didn''t want to start from scratch again. Therefore, she returned. "Where is designer Carlewood? Is this the wrong flight?" The female assistant muttered to herself. At this time, a clear voice came from beside her. "I am the person you''re here to pick up." As soon as the girl turned her head, she saw a girl around the same age as herself looking at her. She immediately looked at her with her mouth agape. "Are you Miss Vivianna Carlewood?" "What''s wrong? I don''t look the part?" Vivianna smiled. It was hard for people to believe that she could be a chief designer at the age of 24 years old. However, age was not a determinant for excelling at this job. She had gotten the job due to her capabilities. "Pardon me, my name is Winslow Tallman. I''m here to pick you up." After saying that, a pair of bright and clear eyes caught her attention. She was surprised for a few seconds and then she laughed. "Designer Carlewood, this is your brother, isn''t he? He''s so cute!" The little boy immediately pouted and retorted, "I''m not mommy''s brother! I''m mommy''s baby." Mommy? Winslow was shocked again. Vivianna was about the same age as her, which was surprising enough. Now, there was a little boy who was around four years old, saying that he was her son? Winslow was really stunned. "This is my son, Zeph," Vivianna said. "My name is Zephaniah Carlewood." The little boy introduced himself. "It''s such a nice name!" Winslow praised with a smile. In the car back to the apartment, Winslow kept teasing Zeph, because he was so adorable. His cuteness made him irresistible, anyone who saw him would want to tease and y with him. Vivianna looked out the window. The city was familiar, yet strange. The memories from four years ago appeared in her mind clearly. Here, she had loved and then hated a man. In the past four years, she had never inquired about news within the country. Therefore, she knew nothing about the current situation of Lambert Enterprise. Of course, she didn''t want to know either. Her son''s birth was also unusual. She had been very careless, and she didn''t even know that she was pregnant, even when she was five months along. When she felt the fetus moving, she went to the hospital and asked for an abortion. The doctors in the hospital refused her request. She asked many hospitals, but none of them would operate on her. The fetus was healthy and had already grown into a baby. She was angry and disgusted at first, butter, the child grew in her belly and he was tossing and turning every day. He was a naughty troublemaker and she felt her resentment dissipating. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. When she tried her best to give birth to the baby, she was drowsy. She heard the nurse whispering in her ear, "Your baby is healthy and beautiful." She didn''t believe this until the nurse had washed the child and ced him in her arms. Her heart felt as if it was glowing. A little angel had flown to her side all of a sudden. She didn''t expect the child who was left behind by this man to be so precious and lovely. Since then, her life changed tremendously. She escaped from the bleak present and she put aside her resentment against the Lambert family. She began to work hard to raise her child. She managed to make a sessful application and she became a jewelry designer. She had gone through a long journey till today. She had seeded. Her child had be her whole life. When the car passed through a busy street, Vivianna looked up and saw the golden signboard of Lambert Enterprise gleaming in the sunshine. It was brilliant and magnificent. Vivianna''s heart was pricked once again. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 She had once cursed Lambert Enterprise, hoping that they would be bankrupt, but her curse didn''t work. Lambert Enterprise had developed so swiftly and established such arge office building. Thinking of Xenophilius and Jessamyn, as well as the fact that they were living a carefree life with her father''s shares, the resentment she had suppressed for four years surged within her like a raging tide. If there ever came a day where she had the ability to do something, she would reim her father''s shares. She secretly made this vow in her heart. Thepany''s arranged apartment was nice. It was at a high-end residential area, and there was a bilingual kindergarten in it, which was very suitable for residents who had children. Thepany gave her a week off to rest before returning to work. Vivianna was ready to bring her son around this city and rx for a week. However, after two days, an important client came to herpany. Her boss called her and said that a richdy had asked for her to design a diamond ring as her wedding anniversary gift one monthter. Vivianna was famous, and she was a designer who was very popr among the rich and powerful families. When the phone call ended, the client was waiting for her in thepany. However, the little fellow had not signed up for kindergarten yet, so she could only bring him to thepany. "Zeph, listen to Mommy''s words. I''ll meet a clientter, and you will stay in Mommy''s office. Don''t run around, okay?" Vivianna warned the little fellow. "Mommy, don''t worry. I will be obedient." The little fellow blinked hisrge eyes in a serious manner and nodded. Vivianna looked at her son''s beautiful eyes, as well as his delicate face. People who had seen him all said that he didn''t look like her, except for his fair skin. Vivianna felt bitter. He probably looked like his father. She couldn''t remember the appearance of the man from that night. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. It didn''t matter whether he was ugly or short or tall. She looked at her son, who was taller than an average three-year-old child. He was close to the height of a five-year-old child. He was unbelievably handsome, and she really felt that God had blessed her with his presence. Moreover, the most important thing was his IQ. Her son''s IQ was close to that of a genius. At such a young age, he was good at everything. He could speak both English and Chinese. Also, her aunt''s grandson was in the third grade of primary school, and the little fellow could actually do his homework. His IQ was unbelievable. "Mommy, you are staring at me again. Am I that good looking?" The little fellow joked. Vivianna kissed him hard on the forehead. "I gave birth to you. Of course, you''re good looking." "Mommy, others say that I don''t look like you. Then, I must look like daddy," Zephaniah said. Vivianna''s heart skipped a beat. She felt absolutely guilty as hecked a father''s love. "Maybe!" she said. "So, as long as a man looks like me, he might be my daddy?" He said excitedly. His daddy was probably an erged version of himself. Vivianna pursed her lips into a smile and she lowered her head to look at her watch. "Alright, I''m almostte. Let''s go!" They took a cab to thepany. The fact that thepany could afford such an office in the city meant that it was doing well. Vivianna walked all the way to the central section of the road. When she looked up, she saw a magnificent building in the center. The unique aspect of this building was the three connected skyscrapers. It was like a huge pyramid, outshining the surrounding buildings. Vivianna nced at Lambert Enterprise, which was not far away. It was considered punypared to this building. Whichpany was this? It was astounding. "Wow! It''s so beautiful!" Zephaniah eximed in admiration. After all, the little fellow had already developed his own taste in regards to aesthetic values and appreciation of beauty. Vivianna''spany was in a small building next to this building. However, it was located in the central area of the city, where every inch ofnd was worth a fortune. Even if it was just a small high-rise building, it still needed funds and proper maintenance. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Vivianna brought her son into the hall and got into the elevator. Her assistant, Winslow, was waiting for her. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "I''ll leave Zeph with you now. I am going to meet a client. Watch over him and don''t let him run around," she said. "Okay, Miss Carlewood." Winslow epted this job cheerfully. Winslow was delighted to be with Zeph. "Zeph, do you want candy? I can give you some." Winslow took two lollipops from her desk to tempt him. However, Zephaniah''s little face twitched. "I am no longer a child. I don''t want candy." "Not a child?" Winslow suppressed the urge tough and looked at this little boy. He was clearly a lovely child! Vivianna went to her superior''s office first. Her superior was a capable and strong woman in her forties. She was of mixed heritage, and her name was Linda. She was also a single mother who was divorced. Hence, she helped Vivianna a lot at the workce and in life. Vivianna admired her and also respected her. As soon as Linda saw hering in, she looked at her with a serious expression and said, "Vivianna, I have seen this customer. She''s a picky and wealthy woman. She is quite difficult to deal with. Moreover, her requirements are also very high. The price that she paid for our services exceeded our expectations. You should be cautious. Thepany values this client very much." "Don''t worry! Leave it to me. I promise that I willplete the task well," Vivianna said confidently. She was confident about her job because she loved it very much. "Alright, I''ll leave it to you. She is waiting for you in room six," Linda said. "How should I address this customer?" she asked. "Mrs. Lambert," Linda said. The words "Mrs. Lambert" caused Vivianna''s chest to be tense instantly. Her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "This Mrs. Lambert must not be the person I am thinking about!" No, please don''t be her. She still didn''t want to see anyone from the Lambert family. Vivianna prayed in her heart and reached the meeting room. There was an assistant who was tasked with serving tea at the door. When the assistant saw her coming over, she opened the door for her. Vivianna bit her lips, took a deep breath and stepped into the room. When she looked up at the elegant woman sitting on the sofa, her heart stopped for a few seconds. However, the person she didn''t want to see the most was still in front of her. She really couldn''t escape. It was Jessamyn Sway! When she spotted Vivianna, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Her red lips were raised, and she had an arrogant and mocking smile. "It''s really you. I thought I saw the name wrongly." Looking at Jessamyn''s face, the events that happened four years ago shed across her mind again. She was humiliated, insulted, driven away, and framed. Vivianna clenched her fists tightly. She tried her best to forget about the past and suppress her resentment. She thought of her son. Now, she had no support or grounds to fight this group of people. Her current desire was to live a good life with her son. Vivianna loosened her fists and walked calmly toward Jessamyn. "Hello, Mrs. Lambert. My name is Vivianna Carlewood. I''m the jewelry designer you appointed. What I can do for you?" Jessamyn was startled when she noticed her calm expression. She stared at Vivianna in a piercing manner with her delicate eyes, as she tried to discern from her tranquil expression whether she was frustrated or embarrassed. "Hmph, you''re the former Mrs. Lambert, and you''re now my jewelry designer. Do you know what asion I hired you to design for? Xenophilius and I will be celebrating our fourth wedding anniversary. Two months after you left, I married him. Are you surprised?" she said. "Mrs. Lambert, do you have any special requirements? Or do you want to fully hand over the draft of the design to me?" Vivianna ignored her words and asked her in a professional manner. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Jessamyn''s facial expression changed. She chose this jewelry designpany to order a set of jewelry, but when she browsed the magazine, she was surprised to see that Vivianna was the chief designer. Therefore, she immediately chose her as her designer. She had been eager to show off her current glorious position to Vivianna, and she wanted to see the angry look on Vivianna''s face. However, what she saw after a few days was Vivianna''s nonchnt expression. How could she be willing to ept that? "Vivianna, don''t you want to talk to me about the past? How have you been?" Jessamyn asked. "Mrs. Lambert, if you are just curious about my personal life, please go back now! If you want me to work for you, please make your request," she said. Although Vivianna hated this woman so much that she wanted to kick her into hell, she could endure anything for her son. Jessamyn looked at her from head to toe. Her face was ruddy and shiny, and she was wearing a gray suit. The suit was appropriate for this setting, and she looked capable in it. She felt unhappy, as to how could Vivianna be the chief designer? She did have some talent in drawing and painting, but that was only a hobby. Unexpectedly, after four years, she had be this capable. It really shouldn''t be like this. Vivianna should be in a state of distress and helplessness. She should be living a miserable life. Jessamyn saw that she did not want to talk about the past, so she stood up and said, "I''ll give you three days to hand over a design draft that satisfies me. If you can''t do this, don''t me me for not caring about our old friendship. I''llin to your boss that you''re ipetent. I''ll see how long you can stay in this position as chief designer." After that, she walked arrogantly to the door. When she reached the door, she turned her head and raised her eyebrows proudly. "Vivianna, this is my territory. It won''t be easy for you if you continue to remain here." Outside the window of the conference room, a pair ofrge obsidian-like eyes were staring at the scene inside. There was clearly a trace of anger in his eyes. D*mn, how dare this woman threaten and bully his mommy. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Vivianna clenched her hands into fists again. Jessamyn''s threat did provoke her, but she would not let her win so easily. She looked calm and fearless. Vivianna didn''t seem to be intimidated by her, and Jessamyn''s expression became unpleasant. "Vivianna, I am very happy with Xenophilius now. I''m warning you, you are not allowed to appear in front of him. He feels disgusted when he sees you." The corners of Vivianna''s mouth lifted slightly. She turned and said, "I don''t have time for that." Jessamyn saw that she couldn''t irritate her. She felt that this was strange. Did this woman lose her memories? Didn''t she remember what happened four years ago? She should be furious after being provoked! "Goodbye, Mrs. Lambert." After saying that, Vivianna opened the door first and went out. Vivianna didn''t walk to her office, but to the bathroom. Her eyes were sore, and her emotions were surging. She didn''t want to face her son looking like this, so she had to collect herself before going out. However, she did not know that Zephaniah was looking at her from behind with a pained expression. He clenched his little fists. "Mommy must be angry!" bethought to himself. Jessamyn left, with several assistants seeing her off. Vivianna walked over from the bathroom and she noticed her son standing in the corridor all of a sudden. She was shocked and quickly smiled at him. "Zeph, why are you here? Didn''t I ask you to go y with Miss Winslow?" The little fellow looked at her with hisrge and bright eyes. Looking at her red eyes, he reached out and hugged her. "Mommy..." "What''s wrong?" she asked. The little fellow shook his head and he was discouraged. He was still young. He couldn''t protect his mommy from being bullied by bad guys. It would be great if his daddy was here. "Mommy, if daddy was here, you won''t have to work so hard," he said. Vivianna was shocked. Why did the little fellow suddenly think of this? "Mommy really likes this job! I don''t think it''s tough." Vivianna persuaded him with a smile. However, the little fellow had overheard the conversation just now. The woman who was dressed well had bullied his mommy, and this angered him. "But, but it would be great if daddy was here. He could be with you and protect you," he said. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Vivianna stroked her son''s tiny head and smiled. "Well, didn''t I tell you? Mommy didn''t know who your daddy was back then, so we won''t be looking for him, okay?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "Mommy, I heard that godfathers are popr nowadays. Wait and see. I''ll get someone to back you up the next time." Zephaniah put his hands on his waist and said this. Vivianna heard his words and she was amused. She looked at the little fellow and said, "No, mommy doesn''t need you to look for a godfather! I can protect myself, and I can protect you." The little fellow pursed his lips, as if he wasn''t giving up on the idea he had just thought of. "Mommy still has some work to do. I''ll ask Miss Winslow to bring you to buy some food, okay?" Vivianna brought her son to her office. She spoke to Winslow, "Zeph didn''t eat anything at noon time. Can you bring him to a snack? He likes bread." "Sure! Leave that to me! There is a bakery who sells really delicious bread nearby!" Winslow said as she smiled at the little fellow. "Go ahead! I might have to workte. Have more food, don''t get hungry!" Vivianna pushed him gently. The little fellow nodded and said, "Okay, mommy, I''ll bring you some cakes." "Okay, I will wait for you to bring them to me." Vivianna smiled and stroked his little head. Winslow took his hand and left. Vivianna reminded them to be careful on the road. Linda walked in from behind and asked her, "How was it, Vivianna?" "I know Mrs. Lambert, but she didn''te with good intentions. She came here specifically to confront me," Vivianna said frankly. "What do you mean by that? Why was she here to confront you?" Linda was puzzled. Vivianna exhaled some air. "She is the woman from my past who plotted with my ex-husband to drive me away. Now, she is the current Mrs. Lambert." "What? It''s her? Vivianna, I feel sorry for you. Do you want to face the members of the Lambert family so soon? Did she make things difficult for you?" Linda asked. "I returned to this city, knowing that I''ll meet them sooner orter. I''ll have to face them eventually. I''m prepared for it," she said. "You are doing this for Zeph?" Linda asked. "Yes. Right now, I only care about my son. As long as I think of Zeph, I don''t care about any past resentments," she said. "You''re a strong mother. I''m thinking whether I should arrange for another designer to serve her instead," Linda said. "She won''t agree to it. She wanted me because she wanted to make things difficult for me. She didn''t mention any requirements, which means that she wants me to design everything. Anyway, no matter what, I will do my best," Vivianna said calmly. Her face looked youthful as if she was fresh out of school. However, her calm temperament was not in line with her current age. "Okay, prepare the draft. I''ll have a look at it. At the same time, I''ll show it to Mrs. Lambert. If she has any opinions, you can change it then," Linda said. "Alright!" Vivianna nodded and said. "Do try your best," Linda said. "Yes, I will do so." Vivianna pursed her lips and smiled. After Linda had left, she still couldn''t focus on her work and design jewelry for the woman whom she absolutely despised. For the first time, all her inspirations seemed to vanish, due to this resentment. All she thought of was Jessamyn''s evil face. Winslow was leading the little fellow. He didn''t run around like other children. Even when they were crossing the road, he was well-behaved and he followed the rules. This surprised Winslow. She thought of her three-year-old nephew. His whole family would need to follow him around all day. They had to help him to clean up any mess he created. When her nephew was on the road, he simply ran around. He wasn''t as obedient and sensible as this little guy. Zephaniah saw the pyramid-like building again. He looked curiously at it and asked, "Miss Winslow, whose house is that?" A reverent expression was disyed on Winslow''s face. "That''s the house that belongs to the richest person in our city." "What does such a richest person look like?" The little fellow asked curiously. Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Winslow said with a smile, "Do you really want to know?" "Yes!" N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. "Okay, I''ll tell you when we get to the bakery." Winslow held his hand as they crossed the road. Then, they arrived at the bakery across the street. There was also an area for resting, and Winslow decided to bring him there to have their food. After ordering the cakes and sitting down, the little fellow did not forget the matter just now. "Auntie, tell me quickly! What does the richest person in the country look like?" Zephaniah asked. "Why are you so curious to know?" she asked. "I want to be the richest person in the future," The little fellow said with an ambitious expression. Winslow really wanted to hold back herughter, but she still chuckled, "You are still a little boy!" "Are you looking down on me? I''m telling the truth. I will make a lot of money in the future. Mommy won''t have to work hard," he said. "I believe in you. I believe that you will definitely be the richest person in the country." Winslow took him seriously, because this little boy was one of the few intelligent kids she had met. "Well, let me tell you, what does the wealthiest person look like? In fact, he looks quite simr to you!" she said. "Really? Let me have a look." The little fellow immediately became interested in this person. Winslow searched online and found a photo. She zoomed in the photo before handing her phone to him. The picture had a dark background. Azy figure was sitting on the sofa. The man in the photo was mature, elegant and charming. He seemed dignified, cultured, and his good looks were unrivaled. His eyes were staring at the camera lens, and they were as dark as the night. They were piercing and intimidating, gleaming with wisdom and a sense of shrewdness. The little fellow''srge eyes became wide. This... Wasn''t this what his father looked like in his imagination? Winslow looked at Zephaniah carefully and murmured, "You really look like each other! Little Zephy, where is your daddy?" The little boy stared at the man in the photo and pouted. "I don''t have a daddy." Winslow''s heart could not help but skip a beat. How could such a lovely child not have a daddy? Does that mean that designer Carlewood had raised the child by herself? "Miss Winslow, is this man married?" he asked. "Um... ording to my knowledge, I don''t think so," she said. "Does he have a girlfriend?" "I don''t think so!" Winslow knew this answer from reading some tabloids. "Is it okay for my mommy to be his girlfriend?" he asked. "Ah!" Winslow couldn''t keep up with his thinking. "My mommy is so beautiful and he is so handsome. I think they should get married," he said. "Well... Zephy, it''s better for you not to think about these things," she said. "Why? Do you think that my mommy doesn''t deserve him?" he questioned. "No, no, no... I don''t mean that. I mean, we are from a different world than he is," she said. "Which world is he from? Mars?" he asked. Winslow was amused and she exined to him, "The world we live in is divided into the rich and the poor. At the same time, there is the upper ss society and the ordinary social ss. He belongs to the pinnacle of the upper ss society, and we are just ordinary people. Do you understand this?" The little fellow blinked hisrge eyes. He did not understand the caste system of society. However, he only knew that he was very interested in this man in the photo. "Miss Winslow, what''s his name?" he asked. "His name is Augustine Giltstone," she replied. "Augustine Giltstone..." The little fellow enunciated the words carefully. Then, he concluded confidently, "I think he can be mommy''s boyfriend." Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Winslow did not know whether tough or cry. She looked at him and said, "Zephy, you''d better not make trouble for your mommy. We can''t afford to offend such a man." "Miss Winslow, you also think that I look like him, don''t you?" Zephaniah stared at the man in the photo and he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. "Yes, you two really look alike. Your facial features are simr to his, especially your nose and mouth. You guys are identical! I think your daddy must be very handsome, otherwise, how can he have such a good-looking son like you?" Winslow said enviously. The little fellow looked at the man in the photo and tried to verify this from Winslow. "Are you sure that Augustine Giltstone lives in that building?" "That''s hispany, and he should be working there." Winslow couldn''t guarantee this. After all, Augustine Giltstone was the richest man in the world now. Who could be sure where he was right now? However, the little fellow took her words seriously andmitted them to his memory. He thought that he would make a brief resume of his mommy, and then hand it to this man. Then, this man will hire his mommy to be his girlfriend. Half an hourter, Winslow took the little fellow back to thepany. Vivianna had calmed down for half an hour and she began to design for Jessamyn Sway. When she was in her third year of university, Jessamyn had approached her and assisted her with all kinds of things. They met frequently and they became best friends. However, she knew now that Jessamyn was such a hypocrite. She was pretending to be friends with her while having a secret affair with Xenophilius. While Vivianna was having a headache, a childish voice came from behind her. Her son called out, "Mommy, Mommy... we''re back!" In that instant, Vivianna''s nerves became rxed. She watched as her handsome son ran into her arms. She held him like a cherished treasure. Yes, for the sake of this child, she could ept any grievances, resentments, and any form of sufferings. "Mommy, I chose this for you. See if you like it or not?" he said. "Mommy likes everything that my baby Zeph chooses!" Vivianna kissed him. "Okay, Mommy, you can go back to work after you finish eating! I''m going to y with Miss Winslow." "Okay, go ahead!" Vivianna smiled and she took the cake from his hand. Looking at the little figure running around in a joyful manner, her eyes were full of tenderness and love. Vivianna had an independent office. At this moment, it was time to get off work, so most of her colleagues had left. Winslow took the initiative to stay behind to apany the little fellow, so that Vivianna could work at ease. "Miss Winslow, can you print a resume for me?" he asked. "What do you want a resume for?" she inquired. "It''s useful for me. Print me a copy! Please," He disyed an absolutely cute expression and the pair ofrge watery eyes he had reminded Winslow of a kitten. Winslow couldn''t resist his charm. She immediately stroked his little head and said, "Okay. I''ll print a copy for you now." Winslow did print him a copy of a resume. She thought to herself, "Zephy doesn''t know many words at this young age. What does he want to do with a resume?" Vivianna worked overtime until eight o''clock in the evening. She couldn''t bear to let her son apany her. She nned to continue her work at home and cook dinner for him. She wanted to coax him to sleep first, and then she could burn the midnight oil! Linda was also working overtime. She lived at the same residence, which was arranged for the company''s employees. She sent the mother and son back home. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Their little family, with an adorable child, and a loving woman... it would always be warm and cosy. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Vivianna prepared some macaroni and cheese for him, and the little fellow finished eating his meal obediently. After drinking some milk, Vivianna helped him to take a bath and sent him to his room. Zephaniah said good night to her, "Mommy, don''t work toote! I read in a book that you can''t stay upte, or you will grow old." "Mommy knows this." Vivianna was touched. Although her son was young, he started to learn to take care of her. After Vivianna closed the door, the little fellow immediately got off the bed, went and sat by his own small table, and took out the resume that Winslow had printed for him. And after taking out his colored pencils, he started to study the resume on the table carefully. His cognitive andprehension abilities were very strong, and he had arge vocabry since he was two years old. Now, he was three and a half years old, and his knowledge wasparable to that of a year five primary school student. However, the writing was his weakness. His handwriting was crooked, however, it was still legible. He wrote down his mommy''s name, age, hobbies, and upation on the resume. He expressed all his ideas, writing down all the words that could praise his mommy, such as beautiful, capable, a good cook, and so on. After he finished writing this resume, he picked it up and checked it thoroughly. He took out a small photo album from his bag, which contained a printed selfie of Vivianna. Then, he pasted it on the resume using some glue. Now, the resume in his hand wasplete. It actually looked like a proper resume, ready to be submitted for a job application!N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. He kept the resume in a safe ce. He thought that he would bring this resume tomorrow to Augustine Giltstone. He could introduce his mommy to this man and ask him to be mommy''s boyfriend. With imagining this pleasant situation, the little fellow gradually fell asleep. Vivianna worked until the wee hours. She opened the door and observed the little fellow sleeping soundly under the quilt. She walked over and kissed his forehead gently. Then, she went out of the door to wash up and prepare to sleep. She was also exhausted. She fell asleep as soon as sheid on the bed. Early the next morning. Linda called Vivianna, saying that she would pick them up. Vivianna brought her son to work. Although it was not appropriate to do so, it was the summer break and he did not have to attend school. Hence, she wanted to sign up her son for some extracurricr interest sses, for example, art ss or maybe robotics, but she had to check them out in person. However, she really couldn''t spare the time to do that presently. Winslow''s workload was currently less, and Linda had assigned her to take care of Zeph. After all, if Vivianna were to sessfullyplete this design project, the benefits would be considerable indeed. Today, the little fellow was carrying a cool little backpack. He was dressed up and he looked fashionable. His hair was neatlybed. "Wow, you are even more handsome today." Winslow was fascinated by his appearance. Seeing him, she felt as if she had seen a mini version of Augustine. Oh god! He was like Prince Charming in the eyes of all women! "Mommy is impressed by my good looks, and it helps her to wake up every day." Zephaniah was very confident. After all, he had such an aesthetically pleasing face. Winslow covered her mouth andughed. If another child had uttered this, she would probably find fault with the child. However, when this little guy said this, he was absolutely right! At this time, Winslow''s cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and answered the call. It was her father. "Hello, dad? What''s wrong with you? Are you hurt? Okay, I''lle over right now." After saying that, Winslow was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly said to the little fellow, "I''ll go to your mommy to ask for a leave. Don''t run around." "Miss Winslow, if you have something urgent to deal with, you should go quickly! I won''t run around," The little fellow said in a sensible manner, and he followed her to his Mommy''s office. In the office, Vivianna was carefullypleting her designs on the drafting papers. Suddenly, Winslow pushed the door open and came in with tears in her eyes. "Miss Carlewood, my father just had a car ident. I need to go to the hospital right now. Can I ask for a leave?" Vivianna was shocked and she nodded quickly. "Okay! Go quickly!" Winslow returned to her position, picked up her bag, and rushed to the elevator. Vivianna looked at the little guy in the office and said softly, "Miss Winslow left because of urgent matters. Be a good boy, okay?" Chapter 13 Chapter 13 "Well, Mommy, don''t worry, I will behave myself and be a good boy! Can I go to the lounge to y?" Zephaniah asked. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Vivianna needed to focus when she made her designs. Jessamyn wanted the design draft in a short time, and she really needed to focus right now. She nodded, but she also warned him sternly, "You can y by yourself, but you are not allowed to go out of thepany. You aren''t allowed to cause any trouble, understand?" "Got it, mommy," The little guy answered quickly. Vivianna didn''t worry about her son because she trusted her son. Since he was born, she never had to worry about him. "Go!" Vivianna watched him go out with a smile. As soon as the little fellow went out, he looked around with hisrge eyes. He looked at the pyramidlike building through the French windows, and he seemed resolute and determined. Now, it was the best chance for him to go out. He had to seize this opportunity. Zephy was rather small in size. No one saw him when he sneaked out. As soon as he went out, he ran quickly. Despite running quickly, when crossing the road, he still followed the traffic rules and slowed down to look left and right before crossing. It took him 15 minutes to arrive at Giltstone Enterprise. He stood in front of the building, as it towered over his small body. He looked rtively tinypared to the gigantic building, and he could easily be ignored by all passersby. When he thought of the fact that Augustine was sitting somewhere in this magnificent skyscraper, his little heart started to beat with excitement. He could not help but let out a quiet ''Wow!'', as he marveled at the sight of the building. Like a fearless young calf, he rushed forward bravely. He walked into the hall carrying his small backpack. The little fellow was courageous and he had a n. He looked left and right, and then he thought of the fastest way to meet Augustine. Zephy blinked hisrge, adorable eyes as he walked towards the pretty receptionist. He raised his tiny face, and hemenced with his ''face-scanning'' n. Several staff members at the front desks saw him and they looked at each other in amazement. Where did this cute little boye from? "Is there anything I can help you with?" someone asked. "I''m here to see my uncle," he said. "Your uncle? What is your uncle''s name?" "His name is Augustine Giltstone. Can you bring me to meet him?" The little guy looked at the group ofdies with a pleading expression. "Oh my god! This little kid looks identical to President Giltstone!" They eximed. "Are you the young master of the Giltstone family? Why don''t you have bodyguards with you?" the lady at the front desk asked in puzzlement. "I don''t like them following me, so I asked them to wait outside. I want to see my uncle. Please bring me upstairs!" After the little fellow finished saying this, he raised his face again. It was so simr to Augustine''s, and hisrge watery eyes were charming indeed. One of the receptionists seized this golden opportunity to meet the President and walked out from behind the counter. "Okay, I''ll take you there." After all, it was a great honor to serve President Giltstone''s rtives. Moreover, she might even have the opportunity to see the President himself! The little fellow took her hand cheerfully and walked to the elevator. Zephy followed the receptionist into the elevator. Hisrge eyes were clearly filled with excitement, as his n had seeded. "Kid, what''s your name?" The receptionist bent down and looked at him carefully. "My name is Zephaniah Giltstone." The little fellow made up a lie. Now, he only needed to meet Augustine and give him his Mommy''s resume. "It''s such a nice name!" The receptionist did not doubt him, as the little boy looked very much like the members of the Giltstone family. The elevator went all the way up. When it reached the 60th floor, it stopped. Zephy immediately took note to remember the floor number, and then followed the receptionist as she walked ahead. Walking down the corridor, a woman in a dark suit stopped them. She looked very smart, capable and professional. "What''s the matter?" the woman asked. "Hi, Assistant Yallop, this is President Giltstone''s nephew. I''ve sent him up," The receptionist said with a smile. Assistant Yallop was stunned. She lowered her head and looked at the little boy. She frowned and said, "Are you President Giltstone''s nephew?" Chapter 14 Chapter 14 He didn''t expect to meet another person who would be blocking his way. He immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Yes! My uncle''s name is Augustine. Can you bring me to see him?" "I remember that there isn''t a child of your age in the Giltstone family. Did you make a mistake?" Assistant Yallop knelt down and looked at him. The little guy blinked a few times. He spoke firmly with a loud voice, "I didn''t make a mistake. My uncle is Augustine Giltstone. If you don''t believe me, you can bring me to see him." N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "What''s in your backpack?" Assistant Yallop was still vignt. "Nothing much! I have my snacks. Do you want to see them?" After saying that, the little guy opened the small backpack and showed its contents to her. Assistant Yallop reached out and took out two small cakes, a pack of tissues and a small bottle of mosquito repellent. The receptionist at the side covered her mouth andughed. This child was too adorable! The little guy was also smart. The resume he brought was hidden in the small slot inside his bag! After checking his backpack carefully, Assistant Yallop continued to look at the boy with his face filled with confusion. "I remember that there is indeed no child around your age in the Giltstone family!" "I want to see my uncle. I want to see my uncle. Since you don''t know me, then take me to my uncle..." The little boy pouted and said this angrily. Assistant Yallop looked at his face carefully, and she was utterly shocked. It was not just his features, but even the arrogant expression on his face was the same as President Giltstone''s! "You... Are you sure that you''re a child of the Giltstone family?" Assistant Yallop asked. She still did not dare to send him to her boss. "If you don''t take me to see my uncle, I will get angry! The consequences of my anger are very serious!" The little guy threatened her, and his act of raising his eyebrows startled her. She had been with the boss for three years and she was familiar with his expressions. This act of raising his eyebrows was exactly the same as that of her boss. "Okay, I''ll take you to see him." Assistant Yallop didn''t dare to confirm whether he was a child of the Giltstone family. However, the boss must know whether this was true or not. Moreover, she had checked his small backpack carefully just now, and there was nothing dangerous in it. As Assistant Yallop would be bringing the little boy in, the receptionist felt it was a pity. She had missed the chance to meet President Giltstone. The little guy had seeded in his act. There was only one door between his goal and himself. He was so excited that hisrge eyes lit up. He blinked, and his eyes were like the bright stars in the sky. As he approached the door, he wasn''t nervous at all. He only knew that he was going to see Augustine, and he would introduce his Mommy to be Augustine''s girlfriend. Assistant Yallop knocked on the door, and then she pushed the door open and walked in. When the little guy saw therge office inside, he eximed discreetly, "Wow! It''s so luxurious!" He followed Assistant Yallop and he did not notice there was a slender figure on the sofa next to him. The slender man on the sofa was dressed in a ck suit. He was well proportioned, attractive, and extraordinary in terms of looks. His dark hair wasbed neatly to the back of his head, revealing his symmetrical and wless facial features. Under his two perfectly-arched eyebrows, his enigmatic gaze exuded an indescribable elegance, charm, and even a sense of danger. Although he was just sitting quietly on the sofa, his calm yet dominant aura was apparent. His air was noble and dignified, and he seemed like an ancient emperor, with hismanding and oppressive presence. He squinted at the assistant who was approaching, and then he spotted a small figure following her. His thick eyebrows were instantly furrowed. "President Giltstone, your nephew wants to see you." Assistant Yallop really believed that the little boy was the President''s nephew. P Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Zephaniah immediately stopped looking around the room. He noticed the tall man on the sofa who seemed intimidating. Normally, if a young child were to meet a man like Augustine, he would definitely tremble in fright at the man''s cold aura. However, to Zephaniah, this man was approachable. In Zephaniah''s eyes, Augustine was the image of his daddy. Hence, he waved his little hand and put on an adorable smile. Augustine was instantly shocked when he saw the child''s appearance. His calm expression was significantly rattled. This child bore a striking resemnce to him. He looked exactly the same as his childhood self. He had a delicate face and hisplexion was porcin-like. His features were well-defined and they had the perfect contour. Even though he was still young and his face had yet to mature into its full glory, he recognized himself in this child. His facial features and demeanor reminded him of himself. While he was still in shock, the little guy spoke in a serious manner to the assistant, "Can you go out first? I want to talk to my uncle about some private matters." Assistant Yallop was startled. She looked into the boss''s eyes and she wanted to confirm whether this child was his nephew. Augustine waved his hand and signalled for her to leave. Assistant Yallop was astounded. Was this child really the boss''s nephew? Hearing the door close behind him, Zephaniah stared at the man in front of him and he apologized sincerely. "I''m sorry, Mr. Giltstone. I wanted to meet you, so I lied to them, saying that I am your nephew. You won''t me me for this, right?" "Why do you want to see me?" Augustine''s handsome face was tense, and there was a hint of urgency in his low and hoarse voice. "I came to see you because I wanted to give you my mommy''s resume." After that, the little guy took out a folded resume from his backpack, and handed it to him. Augustine didn''t know why he was being so patient. He reached out and took the paper. When he looked at the resume, which couldn''t be considered a real resume, with a photo of a woman on it, his eyebrows were knitted instantly. "Your mommy wants to apply for a job in thispany?" The little guy immediately raised his eyebrows and nodded seriously. "Yes! My mommy wants to apply to be your girlfriend." "Your mommy?" Augustine suppressed hisughter. Looking at this audacious little guy, Augustine felt a sense of incredulity. The handwriting was probably the kid''s handwriting, and it was considerably neat. "Kid, I''m not interested in your mommy, but I''m very interested in you. Tell me, what''s your name? How old are you?" Inexplicably, Augustine felt like getting to know the little boy. This was the first time in his life that he was so curious about something. Where did this little guy come from? Zephaniah pouted and looked at him in disappointment. "Why aren''t you interested in my mommy? She''s very beautiful." "You came looking for me just to hand me this resume?" Augustine raised his eyebrows and laughed. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. "Yes!" The little guy nodded seriously. "My mommy is pitiful. She works overtime every day and also needs to take care of me. I want to find her an excellent boyfriend. I think you are very suitable to be my mommy''s boyfriend." Augustine sneered in his heart. Women nowadays could do anything to get close to him. Just because this child looked like him, she made use of him? "Kid, I''m not interested in being your mommy''s boyfriend. Go back and tell your mommy not to use you to approach me next time. It''s useless," Augustine warned him patiently. Zephaniah blinked a few times and he pursed his lips. "My mommy didn''t ask me toe here! I wanted toe here personally. I wanted to meet you." Augustine raised his eyebrows curiously. "Why do you want to meet me?" "I think that you look like my daddy!" Zephaniah pressed his lips together, and hisrge eyes were watery. The little boy looked at Augustine in a pitiful manner, as if he was about to cry. Augustine''s eyes widened. He asked as gently as possible, "You don''t have a daddy?" Chapter 16 Chapter 16 "Mommy and I are the only ones in my family. My mommy said that she doesn''t know who my daddy is. Ady said that I am very simr to you, so I''m wondering if you might be my daddy?" The little guy looked at him innocently and asked. In this world, the purest thing was the innocent eyes of a child. Under the gaze of these eyes, Augustine''s inner defense was cracking inch by inch. He had this inexplicably strong conviction that it would be amazing if this child was his child. Zephaniah bit his lower lip in disappointment. Obviously, he had failed in his mission. However, he was unwilling to give up. He pulled out some hair with his small hand and put the strands of hair on the resume. "Uncle, this is my hair. My DNA is in it. If you have the time, can you test it? Maybe we are father and son! I have to go back now. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Otherwise, my mommy will be worried if she can''t find me." "Where is your home? I''ll ask someone to send you back," Augustine said kindly. "Just over there. The building opposite is my mommy''s workce. It''s very close, so there''s no need for someone to send me," Zephaniah said. Then, he looked at the resume and continued to say, "Uncle, you have to think about it. My mommy is really beautiful and capable! If you don''t marry her, you''ll regret it." After that, he ran to the door, before Augustine could react. He stood on tiptoes to open the door and left the room. Augustine''s long eyebrows were tightly knitted together. Looking at the few short dark strands of hair on the white A4 paper, he fell into deep contemtion. He never wasted any time doing meaningless things. For example, he could almost be sure that he had nothing to do with this child. Therefore, looking at these strands of hair, he wondered if he should just throw all of this along with the resume into the trash can, or waste some time sending them for a DNA analysis. At this moment, Assistant Yallop knocked on the door, and she entered the room with a few documents in her hand. "Mr. Giltstone, these are some urgent documents. Please sign them." After she spoke, Assistant Yallop was very self-aware of the situation and turned to leave. "Wait a minute." Behind her, a deep and maic voice stopped her from departing. Assistant Yallop immediately turned around and looked at him. "Mr. Giltstone, do you have any other instructions?" Augustine pulled out four or five strands of hair from his sideburns. He took a tissue on the table, wrapped his hair and Zephaniah''s hair separately, and handed them to her. "Take them to the hospital for a DNA analysis, and give me a detailed report." Assistant Yallop was shocked as she took the items over, but she still nodded and said, "Okay, I''ll go right now." Zephaniah returned to his mommy''spany as fast as he could. When he opened the door, he heard someone whispering. "Designer Carlewood''s child has gone missing. Did you see him? She was looking for him anxiously just now!" "I didn''t! Where would a child go? It would be very dangerous for him to go anywhere else!" Hearing this, Zephaniah immediately ran to the two female employees. "Is my mommy looking for me?" "Oh, my god! Little guy, you''re here! Hurry up and find your mommy. She is panicking." The woman immediately led the boy to Vivianna''s office. Vivianna was so anxious that she was about to call the police when she heard a child''s voice calling her cheerfully, "Mommy, I''m here, I''m here." Vivianna looked back at him, and her pale face immediately became stern. "Zeph, where have you been? Didn''t I tell you not to run around? Are you going to scare mommy to death?" She was on the brink of tears. "Mommy, I''m sorry! I won''t dare walk away on my own again." The little guy was sincerely apologetic, and tears flowed out from his eyes. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Vivianna hugged him tightly. Only God knew how frightened she was just now. Linda sighed as she stood beside them. "It''s not easy to raise a child alone. Zeph, look at your mommy. She was so scared that she almost called the police. Don''t simply leave and run around the next time." "I''m sorry, mommy. I''m sorry. I won''t run around again." Zephaniah was also frightened. He didn''t expect that mommy would be so worried. Linda stepped forward and patted Vivianna gently. "Alright, you can rx now. The child is back." Vivianna was still traumatized, and she needed a few seconds to recover. Then, she stretched out her hand to push the little guy out from her embrace and she looked at him in a stern manner. "Where have you been?" she questioned him. "Mommy, I... I didn''t go anywhere! I only went to have a look at that building opposite!" After saying that, he pointed to the majestic pyramid-shaped building. Vivianna was scared out of her wits. She scolded him, "How can you run so far away? There are so many cars and people on the streets. What if someone kidnaps you?" Although the little guy had his reasons, he didn''t dare to tell her, out of fear that his mommy would be angry again. He raised his little hand and promised her, "I won''t go again in the future, Mommy." Vivianna sighed, but she still held him tightly in her arms again. He was more precious to her than her own life. If she hit him or scolded him, her heart would hurt even more. This false rm caused Vivianna''s heart to palpitate, as she felt a sense of fear and dread for the next few hours. She banned him from going anywhere. She asked the little guy to draw, write and most importantly, remain in her office. The little guy was obedient and he drew something quietly in her office. He had probably inherited his mother''s talent. His drawings were excellent for such a young age. Vivianna had many old drafts that were not used previously, and her designs were crafted with profound meaning. Therefore, she chose a few of them and modified them, perfecting them into proper designs. That night, she handed these designs over to Linda. Linda was very satisfied with them. Now, she had to wait for Jessamyn''s inspection. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. In the evening, Vivianna returned home with her son, and she lectured him again. The little guy felt aggrieved, but he did not dare to tell her the truth. Vivianna could not bear to reprimand him so harshly. After saying a few stern words, she cooked pasta for him to eat. After dinner, the little guy fell asleep in her arms. Vivianna brought him to bed and covered him with the quilt. Looking at this pinkish and adorable face, she was absolutely contented. When she returned to the living room, she didn''t feel sleepy at all. She sat on the sofa and she thought about her design drafts. Maybe Jessamyn would simply use an excuse to make things difficult for her. In fact, no matter how perfect her design was, Jessamyn could still find many excuses if she was not satisfied. Perhaps her purpose was to make her lose this job. Vivianna was a little distressed. She couldn''t lose her current job as she still had a son to raise. Although she had some savings from the past two years, it was far from enough. She wanted to provide her son with afortable life. In the hospital. In the afternoon, Assistant Yallop had sent the strands of hair to the hospital. There was an urgent matter to tend to, and she returned to thepany to settle it. When she was about to go to the hospital to collect the report, she was told that the doctor had got off work, and the report was locked in the room. She had no choice but to pick it up early the next morning. Early in the morning. Vivianna woke up on time. When she woke up, she brushed her teeth quickly, washed her face and made breakfast for her son. In the past few years, her culinary skills had improved greatly. In order to prepare nutritious meals for her son, she had also participated in some training courses abroad. She learned a lot from these courses. Zephaniah also got up on his own. He dressed up, washed his face, and brushed his teeth. There was no need for Vivianna to worry about him. "Wow, mommy, it smells so good!" Zephaniah eximed. "Then we''ll finish all of the food. Don''t waste anything." Vivianna kissed his hair with a smile. Chapter 18 Chapter 18 "Well, I must finish the breakfast that mommy made so lovingly!" Zephaniah picked up his cutlery and began to eat. Vivianna received a phone call from Linda. It turned out that Jessamyn had asked Vivianna to take the design drafts to her at Lambert Enterprise. She had to go there in person and show her the drafts. Vivianna was furious. Jessamyn had gone too far. She was deliberately making things difficult for her. "There is no other way. I tried tomunicate with her as well. She just didn''tpromise. You have to go over there. Otherwise, she will cancel this order. You know, if this order is sessful, she will pay several million dors. Thepany values this client," Linda said. Vivianna took a deep breath and exhaled. She released the resentment in her heart. She bit her lips and said, "Okay, I''ll go." "Leave your son at home! I will ask Winslow to go to your house to take care of him. She is a good girl, and she will take good care of Zeph." "Okay," Vivianna replied. She thought to herself, "It''s better for Zeph to stay home than to be at the "Vivianna, try your best! If you really can''t satisfy Jessamyn, and she cancels her order, I''ll help you rify the situation to the superiors." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Thank you, Linda." A warm feeling rose from the bottom of Vivianna''s heart. "You''re wee." Linda hung up at the other end of the phone. Vivianna could not calm down. Going to Lambert Enterprise meant that Jessamyn was ready to humiliate her. Maybe she would meet Xenophilius again. Vivianna bit her lips and struggled internally for a while. She turned her head and looked at the little guy who was eating pasta quietly on the table. The anger in her heart was immediately gone. Vivianna would endure anything for her son. Half an hourter, Winslow Tallman came over. She also brought a lot of toys. Vivianna liked this assistant very much, although she was only three months older than her. "Miss Carlewood, don''t worry, leave Zeph to me!" Winslow adored him very much. "Okay, then I''ll leave him to you. I have to go to thepany now. I maye backte today. If I haven''te back at night, you can just cook him some pasta." Vivianna made some ns. "Don''t worry, I will take good care of him," Winslow promised. "Mommy, don''t worry about me. I won''t cause any trouble. I will listen to Miss Winslow," The little guy also promised. Vivianna came over with a smile, held his little head, and kissed his hair. "Wait for mommy toe back." "Okay! See you, mommy." Vivianna closed the door and went downstairs. Linda was waiting for her. They went back to the office to get the design drafts. After a short period of time, Linda would be apanying her to Lambert Enterprise. In the hospital, Yazlynn Yallop was walking in the corridor of the hospital. She was wearing a formfitting gray suit. Her professional and efficient air attracted many men''s attention. She walked to the doctor''s office. She had handed over the strands of hair yesterday to this doctor. She said with a smile, "Dr. Wace, is the DNA report out?" The doctor took out a sealed file from the drawer and handed it to her. "Yes, it is." "May I ask what are the results?" Yazlynn asked curiously. She guessed that one hair sample belonged to the boss, and the other sample belonged to the little guy who had appeared in the boss''s office yesterday. She was curious about their rtionship. Chapter 19 Chapter 19 "Do you know the owners of the two hair samples that you sent me?" Dr. Wace asked. "Yes! These samples belong to my friends!" Yazlynn lied in a hurry. Of course, she couldn''t say that they belonged to her boss. She must keep this matter confidential. "Oh yes, the DNA report shows that they are father and son," the doctor answered casually. Yazlynn''s eyes became wide. What? The little guy yesterday and the boss were... Father and son? Oh my! When did the boss have a son? This was some earth-shattering news! "Dr. Wace, are you sure this is the correct report? Did you take the wrong one?" Yazlynn questioned him in detail. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. "Yes, this is the correct report," the doctor replied. Yazlynn took the report quickly and held it tightly in her arms. She walked swiftly in her high-heeled sandals. She was eager to depart from the hospital. Yazlynn went out of the door with the report. She walked to her car and drove to thepany quickly. She was utterly dumbfounded for a period of time. All the women in the country wanted to have children with her boss. Yazlynn didn''t know who the little guy''s mother was, however, this woman had secretly given birth to a son, and the baby was now already a little boy! Yazlynn was really curious, but on second thought, did the woman already know that the child''s father was her boss? In that case, did the woman deliberately allow the child to stage an appearance in thepany? Did she ask him on purpose to pull out his hair and ask her boss to conduct a DNA test? If this was the case, this woman was quite scheming. If her son was indeed her boss''s son, she would undoubtedly emerge victorious in life. Yazlynn was quite impressed by this woman''s schemes! After Yazlynn''s car stopped in the garage, she rushed to the elevator and pressed the button to her boss''s office. She looked at the report in her hand. She began to wonder what her boss''s expression would be when he found out about thister. She thought that the boss''s usual poker face and aloof demeanor would definitely be shaken! She was looking forward to his reaction! Stepping down from the elevator, Yazlynn bumped into another assistant. Yazlynn asked, "Where is our boss right now?" "Our boss is having a meeting in the conference room." Yazlynn pondered if she should tell him the shocking news, or wait for him in the office. Yazlynn was aware of Augustine''s rules. It was better for her to put the report on his desk first, and wait for the meeting to end, rather than interrupting it. It was eleven o''clock when she finally saw Augustine walking down the corridor. He had a commanding air and noble demeanor. All his movements were authoritative and dignified. He was intimidating indeed. Yazlynn immediately got up and stood in front of him. "Boss, I''ve carried out the task that you instructed me toplete yesterday." Augustine frowned as if he had forgotten about this matter. He asked in a low voice, "What was the matter about?" "The DNA test you asked me to send for testing, Sir. Have you forgotten about this?" she said. Augustine recalled this matter and he raised his sword-shaped eyebrows. It seemed that he already knew the answer, but he had no expectations. "Oh! How are the results?" "I... I didn''t inquire about it. Please have a look at the report yourself!" After saying that, she handed the documents to Augustine with both hands. Augustine stretched out his hand and took the file. He strode directly into his office. Yazlynn wanted to follow him, but she stopped in her tracks. After all, no matter how curious she was, she could not inquire about the boss''s private matters. At this time, a female assistant next to her asked curiously, "What documents did you just give to the boss?" "Nothing. Just an urgent document," Yazlynn didn''t dare to tell the truth. Augustine walked into his office and sat on the leather sofa. His long legs were crossed and his handsome eyebrows were knitted together tightly. Looking at the file, heughed derisively. Unexpectedly, Augustine had actually executed such an unnecessary matter. He was certain that this little guy wasn''t his son, but he still sent the hair to be tested anyway. Now that the report was out, he would at least have to take a look at it before throwing it away. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Augustine tore away the tape with his slender fingers, revealing the documents inside. He took them out and stared at them. There were three sheets of paper. The first piece of paper contained the doctor''s conclusions. He gazed deeply at the first report. When he saw a certain sentence, he immediately brought the report close to his eyes. At the same time, his brown eyes lit up and they became wide. He felt a sense of incredulity. It was written clearly, "Based on our analysis of the DNA samples, it is proven that these two are biological father and son." In the quiet room, the man''s breath instantly became heavy. Augustine''s seductive thin lips were parted, and he had to use his mouth to inhale deeper breaths. He took the piece of paper and read it over and over again. After reading it several times, he suddenlyughed out loud. After that, he stood up and walked back and forth in the office. He tried to recall some old memories. How could this be possible? How could there be a woman who was pregnant with his child? Also, how could this child be born? In the past few years, he had not touched any women at all. How could it be possible for him to have a child? Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Could it be that someone robbed his sperm from the sperm bank? Did someone steal his sperm on purpose? No, he was wrong. He did, in fact, touch a woman in recent years. Augustine recalled a previous incident uncertainly. Four years ago, there was a night when he had been drugged. At that time, he had frantically rushed into a hotel to hide, and while he was in a daze, he pushed open the door to a random room. There was a woman lying on the hotel bed. When he touched the woman, she grabbed on to him and did not let go. Therefore, what happened next followed thews of nature. Augustine left in the middle of the night. When he departed the scene, he had a splitting headache. In the dark room, he didn''t remember the woman''s appearance at all. He only knew that she was a drunk woman. There were many drunk women like her in the hotel. When his bodyguards brought him away, he ignored the events of that night and forgot about them. Could it be that the woman from that time was pregnant with his son? Augustine bit his thin lips. Whether it was the result of that night or not, the child hade to him now. This brought him absolute joy. Even at the first nce, Augustine knew that the child was his son. Augustine was very sure about it. He narrowed his eyes, looking at the building opposite his office. His expression was ecstatic yet determined. If the child was his, Augustine had to bring the child back to his side and raise him. At this moment, Augustine cast aside all matters that he was tending to, and he was going to pick up his son. Augustine pushed open the door of his office, and Yazlynn was standing by the corridor making a phone call. Seeing the boss''s imposing manner andmanding air, as well as the expression of unconcealed joy on his face, she was really happy for him deep down. The boss already had such a grown up son. "Yazlynn,e with me," Augustine called for her. "Yes," Yazlynn immediately followed him and asked curiously, "Boss, where are we going?" "We are going to the opposite building" he replied. Yazlynn was surprised. Why was the boss going to the opposite building? Was his son in that building? At the main entrance of Diane''s Angel Jewelry... Several girls at the front desk were chatting in an idle manner. Among them, a receptionist was cradling her face in her hands, her face filled with hope. "Even Anna can marry a rich guy. When can I meet my Prince Charming!" "Who do you want to meet?" "I want to meet Augustine Giltstone!" "In your dreams! Looking at your status, would you ever have the opportunity to meet a man like Augustine?" another receptionist chimed in. "The opposite building is his headquarters. If I wait for him at the door of hispany every day, maybe I''ll encounter him?" "That''s right. Who doesn''t want to meet a man like Augustine? If I could meet him, I''m willing to die." Chapter 21 Chapter 21 The zing midday sun shone through the ss door. The tall and muscr man walked forward in the golden sunlight. His footsteps were firm and steady. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. He had an extraordinary disposition that seemed regal and noble. No one dared to look directly at him. All the receptionists were gawking at him. "Oh my God! Are we dreaming?" Augustine Giltstone... The man who walked through the door was really him. As the world''s most eligible bachelor stood in front of them, the receptionists felt a sense of incredulity. "I am looking for a woman who brings her child to work here." They heard his low and seductive voice ask. The receptionists were almost fainting from being mesmerized, and they almost forgot to answer him. Augustine narrowed his eyes and he knocked the counter violently with his slender fingers in a dissatisfied manner. It was obvious that he was feeling impatient. One of the receptionists immediately came to her senses and said, "Mr. Giltstone, you may be looking for Miss Vivianna Carlewood, our chief designer. She is the only one who brings her child here to work." "Is she not at thepany right now?" Augustine narrowed his eyes and asked in his deep voice. Was this woman so irresponsible while raising Augustine''s child? How could she allow him to run around on his own while she worked? D*mn it, this woman didn''t deserve to bear his child at all. "Are you looking for Designer Carlewood? I''m sorry, she''s not at thepany right now. She has gone out to attend to some business today." "What about her child?" Augustine''s eyebrows were furrowed. "I heard that he''s at home today!" One of the receptionists answered quickly. "Give me her address!" He ordered. It was against thepany policy to reveal the residential addresses of the employees. The receptionists were not allowed to do so. However, this man was Augustine Giltstone after all! Any woman couldn''t refuse any of his orders, as they would not be able to resist his maic charm. At this time, a receptionist bent over quickly and wrote down Vivianna''s address and her unit number on a piece of paper. "This is Designer Carlewood''s address." Augustine took a look at it and he replied politely, "Thank you." In this instant, the four receptionists were huddled together. They were so thrilled by the incident that they were at a loss. Not only did they see Augustine in person, but he also thanked them with his low and maic voice. How could they not be excited? Augustine left the jewelry design office with Yazlynn in tow. Augustine walked to his car. It was a limited edition sports car. Yazlynn was lucky enough to get to sit in the passenger seat. "Boss, are you really going to meet this child? What''s the rtionship between this child and yourself?" Yazlynn lied. Although she knew the answer to this question, she could not reveal her knowledge. "He is my son." Augustine told her the truth. "Oh my God! Is he your son, Sir? No wonder he looks so simr to you. He''s a chip off the old block," she said. Augustine was pleased at Yazlynn''sment. He smiled and he stepped on the gas pedal fiercely. He was so eager to see his child. His excitement was beyond words. In Vivianna''s house, Winslow and Zephaniah were attempting toplete some jigsaw puzzles. It was a pity that a twenty-four-year-old woman like her could not win a three-year-old child at such a game! What a joke! "I''m done with my puzzle. Miss Winslow, why haven''t youpleted yours?" The little guy asked in surprise. "Zeph, you must be a genius! How can you be so smart? This is unfair!" Winslow was astounded, and she felt like crying in exasperation. "Miss Winslow, you can do it! I''m sure you can finish the puzzle. Do you want me to teach you?" Zephaniah suggested. Winslow shook her head and said, "Forget it, let''s y chequers." The little guy became excited and said, "Okay! I like to y chequers very much." In the parking lot of the residential area, an expensive sports car pulled over. Yazlynn had the address of the location in her hand. She had a good sense of direction, so she walked to one side and said to Augustine, "Boss, it''s right here." Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Augustine strode forward in a determined manner with his slender legs. He walked to the elevator door, and they got in. Vivianna lived on the 15th floor, and the elevator arrived there in a few seconds. After getting out of the elevator, Yazlynn Yallop saw the door number and pointed toward the unit at the interior of the apartments. "This is the ce. Should we knock on the door?" "Yes, knock on the door," Hemanded in a resolute manner. Yazlynn knocked. In the room, the two people who were ying immediately looked at each other. Winslow Tallman said, "Is your mommy back? She''s back this early? Let me go and have a look." Zephaniah quickly followed her and went to the door. Winslow looked out of the peep hole and saw that Vivianna was not outside the door. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. It was a well-dressed woman, and the vague outline of a man could be seen behind her. "Zeph, I''ll hold you up. Have a look, and see if you know her." Winslow thought that maybe these were Zeph''s rtives. The little guy was picked up. He looked into the peep hole with hisrge eyes and spotted Yazlynn''s face. He was surprised. "Miss Winslow, I know her." Winslow put him down, looked at him and asked, "Can I open the door now?" "Yes! Hurry up!" Zephaniah was very excited. Wasn''t the woman outside the door Augustine''s assistant? The door was opened. Winslow spotted Yazlynn, and also a man... And this man was... Winslow''s eyes became wide. Looking at this man''s unrivaled handsome face andmanding air, she was about to faint. Augustine Giltstone?! Why was this legendary man here? The little guy was also ecstatic. Looking at the tall man standing outside the door, he raised his tiny face and asked with a smile, "Uncle Giltstone, are you looking for me?" Augustine''s eyes were full of tenderness. He knelt down and looked at his little son. His smile curved into the most gentle smile. "Yes, I came for you." "Uncle Giltstone, what can I do for you?" The little guy asked curiously. "Don''t call me uncle. I''m not your uncle," he corrected him. The little guy blinked hisrge eyes and asked, "Then, what should I call you?" "You should call me Daddy," The man said in a low voice. The little guy''s eyes became wide due to his surprise. "Are you my Daddy? Are you really my Daddy?" Augustine stared at the little guy with his deep eyes and answered with absolute certainty, "Yes, I am your Daddy and you are my son." Winslow, who was standing aside, was about to faint. "Oh my god! Is Zeph Augustine''s son? No wonder he has such a high IQ." Augustine stretched out his arms and held the little guy in his arms. He stared at Winslow with his captivating eyes. "When Zeph''s motheres back, ask her toe to my office. I''m leaving with him now." Augustine finished speaking. Before Winslow could react, he turned around and left with Zeph in his arms. Yazlynn was afraid that Winslow couldn''t understand this, so she smiled and said, "President Giltstone means that he wants to see Miss Carlewood. When she returns home, please ask her to go to Giltstone Enterprise to find him. I think you should know my boss''s name!" "I... I know, he''s Mr. Augustine Giltstone," Winslow stammered. "That''s right," Yazlynn smiled and, then she quickly walked forwards to catch up with Augustine. Winslow was stunned, as she stood at the door, and her mind went nk. Oh God! This was big news, super explosive news! The legendary Mr. Giltstone had a son and the child was Vivianna''s?! How could she exin this to Vivianna? Vivianna was meeting an important client right now. "Should she make the phone call now?" Winslow thought to herself and she hesitated. No matter how silly Winslow was, she knew what her priorities were. This phone call had to be made! What if Augustine had kidnapped Zephaniah? God, what was she thinking? Chapter 23 Chapter 23 However, this little guy was indeed adorable. Everyone wanted to bring him away at first nce. Winslow picked up her cell phone and dialled Vivianna''s number. Vivianna seemed to lower her voice as she answered, "Hello, Winslow, what''s the matter?" "Miss Carlewood, there is something I have to tell you. A man took your son away," Winslow said in an anxious tone. Vivianna''s voice was trembling due to the shock. "What?" "Miss Carlewood, don''t panic. I know who took your son away. Are you done with work? If you are done, go to Giltstone Enterprise to ask Augustine Giltstone for your son!" In a cafe next to Lambert Enterprise, Vivianna was holding her bag, rushing out of the private room quickly. She asked Winslow loudly, "Who is Augustine Giltstone? Why did he take my son away?" "Augustine said that your son is his son, and he asked you to go see him!" Winslow was confused. At this moment, Vivianna rushed out. She was so anxious, she was almost going crazy. "Where is this Augustine?" "Hispany is the pyramid-shaped building opposite our office," she said. Vivianna thought of something. "That building?" She hailed a cab outside the cafe and said to the driver, "Go to Giltstone Enterprise. Quick!" The driver immediately stepped on the gas pedal and rushed forward. Vivianna hung up the phone and called Linda. "Linda, please go up and wait for Jessamyn. I need to leave right now." "Okay." Linda answered without further question.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. After hanging up the phone, Vivianna''s mind was full of the images of her son. D*mn it, who was this Augustine? Why did he take her son away? Since when did Zephaniah be so gullible? When she finds Zephaniah, she would give him a good beating as punishment. Vivianna had waited at the cafe for more than an hour. Jessamyn still had not arrived, so Vivianna had asked her assistant to deal with her first. She knew that Jessamyn waste on purpose, but she had to leave right now. She was thinking about Winslow''s words just now. Augustine had said that her son was his son. D*mn it, where was this man from, and why did he snatch her son? Lambert Enterprise was not far from Giltstone Enterprise, and she arrived there in 20 minutes. Vivianna paid the driver and she opened the door in a hurry. She got off without taking the change. She rushed to the lobby of the building and she looked up at the tall massive building in the sky. Without thinking, she rushed in wearing her high heels. She walked into the lobby and immediately ran to the front desk. With a tense expression, she said to the receptionist flusteredly, "My name is Vivianna Carlewood. I''m looking for Augustine Giltstone." This sentence caused the eight receptionists to stare at Vivianna. However, one of the receptionists, who had received the order from her superiors previously, came out of the counter with a smile. "Miss Carlewood, pleasee with me." Vivianna hurried to follow her into the elevator which was beside them. The elevator opened and the two of them stepped inside. Vivianna could not conceal her panic. Along the way, she only thought of her son, and she completely forgot about Augustine. She asked the receptionist next to her, "May I ask who Augustine Giltstone is?" The receptionist looked at her in surprise. "Mr. Giltstone is the big boss of ourpany!" Vivianna was astounded, and she couldn''t react for a few seconds. Augustine was the owner of this building? Then what was the rtionship between him and her son? In the president''s office. There was a pile of snacks in front of the little boy, and Augustine was sitting next to him. The father and son had been talking for almost 45 minutes, and they began to build a sense of warmth between them. Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Within a short period of time, Augustine had found out all about Vivianna from his conversation with Zephaniah. Of course, Augustine was not interested in her. No matter who this woman was or what she looked like, he had made up his mind to take Zephaniah away from her. If that night had been a mistake, then the mistake would need to end here. He would deal with this matter in the best possible way. Vivianna folded her arms, bit her lips, and nibbled her fingers. She was absolutely anxious. Even if it was only a dozen seconds in the elevator, it was enough to cause her to lose her patience. When Yazlynn received a call from the front desk, she waited at the elevator door. As soon as the elevator door opened, she felt a sense of curiosity in regards to the appearance of the president''s son''s mother. Thus, she took a quick look at the elevator. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. She noticed a young woman in a gray suit next to the receptionist. This woman stepped out of the elevator in a hurry. When she caught a clear glimpse of the woman''s appearance from a close distance, Yazlynn marveled at her good looks secretly. Thisdy was able to give birth to such an adorable kid. In addition to inheriting the good genes of his father, the kid''s mother must also be a stunning beauty. This was expected. "Assistant Yallop, this is Miss Vivianna Carlewood," the receptionist said to Yazlynn. "Miss Carlewood, pleasee with me." Yazlynn did not dare to dy this matter. "Is my son here?" Vivianna asked quickly. "Yes, the young master is in the president''s office with Mr. Giltstone," she replied. Although Vivianna hadn''t met Augustine before, she didn''t have a good impression of him at this moment. No, in her eyes, this man was a jerk. Why did he kidnap her son for no reason? When they arrived at the door of the president''s office, Yazlynn knocked on the door. Then, she opened the door and let Vivianna in. Vivianna hurried into the office. As soon as she entered the door, she heard her son''sughter and the sound of his giggles. Obviously, he was not hurt. On the contrary, he seemed overjoyed. "Zephaniah Carlewood..." Vivianna''s exasperated cry could be heard as she strode toward the screen divider. Behind the screen, a small figure ran out immediately and shouted in excitement, "Mommy, Mommy, you are here." Vivianna pulled the little guy tightly into her embrace to make sure that he was fine. At the mean time, she felt an oppressive energy from behind the screen. Then, a tall man walked out from behind the screen slowly. He had one hand in his pocket. When Vivianna''s eyes moved away from her son''s face, she was already furious. She red at the man who hade out. However, when she saw the man''s face... She suddenly had the illusion that this man''s face was identical to her son''s? The perfect contour of the man''s face, the symmetrical facial features, the bone structure, his demeanor, and his eyebrows was surprisingly simr to that of Zephaniah''s! Vivianna waspletely shocked. Her mind went nk and she felt a little dizzy. When she looked at him from head to toe, the man also looked down at her in a condescending manner. He had an imposing disposition, and he was arrogant and haughty. Augustine thought that the woman who had given birth to his son was just somemon woman. This was out of his expectation. She was young and beautiful. Of course, he wasn''t concerned about this. The little guy was amused by Vivianna''s dumbfounded expression. He chuckled and spoke to her in a tender voice, "Mommy, are you surprised? Do you know who he is?" However, before she could guess, the little guy eximed, "He is my daddy!" Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Vivianna forced herself to ignore this imposing man. She red at Zephaniah fiercely and scolded him, "You can''t simply follow a stranger and say that he is your father. What did I teach you? There are many swindlers in society now. Think before you act." After saying that, Vivianna picked up the little guy. She raised her head to look into the man''s eyes. She spoke in anger, "Why did you bring my son here? Do you know that I can sue you for kidnapping my child?" Augustine raised his eyebrows. This woman dared to sue him. Was she really capable of that? "Mommy..." The little guy looked at her with hisrge eyes and he wanted to exin to her about this matter. "Keep quiet. I''ll teach you a lesson when we get back." Vivianna interrupted him before the little guy could finish his words. Augustine frowned. "Did this woman usually use such overbearing and tough methods to educate his son?" he thought to himself. "Mommy, you''re making a mistake! He is my daddy," The little guy insisted. Then, he puffed out his cheeks and said, "Don''t you think that I look like daddy?" Vivianna was speechless when it came to this matter. She was shocked by their simrities just now. It seemed that her son was being naive. Just because they looked simr didn''t mean that they were father and son! "Zeph, let''s go home now, alright? Mommy will buy you something delicious to eat, and you are not allowed to simply look for your father anymore. Do you understand?" she said. Seeing that his mommy refused to believe him, the little guy was so angry that his face became red. "Mommy, it''s true. He is my daddy!" Looking at his son''s frantic look, Augustine''s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He was silent this whole time. At this moment, he had toe to his son''s rescue. He stepped forward with his slender legs and he came to Vivianna''s side swiftly. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Before Vivianna could react, he took away the little guy in her arms quickly. Vivianna was so enraged that her eyes became wide open. In an instant, she saw two simr faces staring at her at the same time. She was startled for a few seconds and bellowed, "Give my son back to me." "Who said that Zephaniah is yours?" Augustine said coldly. "I gave birth to him. Of course, he''s my son," Vivianna said angrily. This man held her son in his arms and dared to speak to her in such a tone. He was such a b*stard. "Then tell me, how did you give birth to your son on your own?" The man asked with a sneer. "I..." Vivianna''s pretty face turned crimson. "What does this man mean by this?" she thought to herself. Augustine walked to his desk, and Vivianna followed him. He took out a piece of paper from the first drawer. Vivianna was half a meter away from him. He threw the paper into her arms coldly. "Lady, when did you steal my semen?" Vivianna held the paper steadily. Looking at the lines of words on it, she was utterly bbergasted. It was a DNA test report. She skipped to the doctor''s conclusion. "It is proven that these two people are biological father and son." "Without the semen I left in your body, do you think you can give birth to a baby on your own?" She heard a low male voice mocking her. Vivianna''s heart pounded violently. She breathed rapidly, and her heart raced due to her anger. She raised her head and red at the man without flinching. "That night, four years ago... was it you?" Augustine narrowed his eyes and stared at her pale face. He opened his thin lips to say, "The test concluded that your child and myself are son and father, so who else could it be?" Vivianna felt as if she was going insane. Was he the mysterious b*stard who slept with her four years ago? Why was it him? Vivianna held her head and she felt dizzy. At this time, a worried and soft voice asked her, "Mommy, are you okay?" Vivianna gritted her teeth. Four years ago, even if it was not him, it would still be a gigolo that Jessamyn had sent. It didn''t matter anyhow. Regardless of all of this, the tragedy would still happen that night. Now, the most important thing she faced was the fact that her son was being taken away. Vivianna took a deep breath and she suppressed all of her emotions. She smiled gently at the little guy in his arms and said, "Zeph, be a good boy and go home with me." Chapter 26 Chapter 26 "What about daddy? Will hee home with us?" Zephaniah asked as he pouted. The little kid''s expression was pitiful. Vivianna red at the handsome and authoritative man in front of her with resentment. However, she didn''t want to act like a difficult woman in front of her son. She pursed her lips, smiled, and coaxed her son, saying, "He is very busy. He manages such a bigpany. He doesn''t have the time toe home with us." "Mommy, don''t worry. I''ve checked him out. Daddy is the richest man on earth, and he is capable of anything. No one will dare to bully you again in the future," The little guy said with a bright smile. Vivianna was speechless. "Son, can you leave us for a minute and y with Miss Yallop first? Daddy wants to talk with your mommy." Augustine said this gently. He intended to send the little guy away for a moment. After all, the following topic was not appropriate for his ears. The little guy was smart and discerning. It seemed that daddy and mommy were going to talk about love, so he, the little third wheel, had to leave as soon as possible! "Well, daddy, mommy, don''t quarrel! Both of you need to love each other, okay?" The little guy came down from his father''s arms and said this. Both of the two adults froze for a few seconds, and the little guy pranced out. At the door, Yazlynn spotted Zephaniah exiting the room. She knew that the president had to settle some matters. She quickly took the little guy to her office and brought some toys for him to y with. As soon as the little guy left, the atmosphere immediately became tense, depressing, dangerous, and even oppressive. Vivianna clenched her fists involuntarily and raised her head. Looking at the terrifying and threatening man in front of her, she tried to muster up the courage to speak to him. She said, "What do you want to talk about?" Augustine was rxed. He crossed his arms and looked at her in a condescending manner, as if he was an emperor on a pedestal speaking to his subjects. "Of course, we will be talking about our son." This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Zeph is not your son. He is my son. He belongs to me," Vivianna immediately retorted. Four years ago, this b*stard had slept with her. Now, he wanted to snatch her son from her. This was impossible. Augustine sneered. "Then tell me, how did you give birth to a child alone? Four years ago, if not for my sperm, how could you have a son?" Vivianna bristled with anger. Her pretty face was red, and she waspletely infuriated. She was like a lioness that was provoked, and she wanted to kill him. She bellowed, "How dare you mention the events of four years ago, you b*stard, you hypocrite..." Augustine''s face fell instantly. He red at her in an unrelenting manner and said, "Woman, please mind your words. I didn''t forget what happened four years ago. Do you think I was the one who took the initiative? It was you obviously. You were a willing partner. If someone hadn''t manipted me, do you think I could have slept with someone like you?" Vivianna was taken aback in an instant. "How could this man have his cake and eat it too?! How dare he feel disgusted with me? How could there be such a b*stard in the world?" She could not help thinking this to herself. "You did it anyway!" Vivianna barked in fury. Augustine was livid. He snorted coldly and said, "I don''t want to investigate the events from four years ago, but my son will belong to me from now on." Vivianna was boiling with anger again. She shouted without thinking, "Don''t even think about it. I gave birth to my son. I brought him up. He''s mine. You can''t take him away from me." "Do you think that we''ll allow a mother like you to raise and educate a child of the Giltstone family?" Augustine just learned a lesson. This woman was wild and rude. She was not gracious with her words. Thinking back to the night four years ago, he felt his impression of her taking a turn for the worse. She had a casual one night stand with a man. Such a woman did not deserve to have his son. "It has nothing to do with you. What''s more, my son''s surname is Carlewood. His name is Zephaniah Carlewood. He has nothing to do with you or the Giltstone family." Vivianna refused to compromise or yield to Augustine''s demands. Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Augustine nibbled his seductive thin lips while staring at her coldly. He tried to negotiate with her, saying, "What do you want? How much do you want? Name me a price, and I will satisfy your demands." Money? D*mn it, this man thought that he could disrespect others just because he was rich? "I don''t want anything except my son. You''d better stay away from my son." Vivianna warned him. Augustine narrowed his eyes, and they shed dangerously. This woman was really stubborn. He snorted lightly and said, "If necessary, we will go to court. I believe that mywyers will let you know who is qualified to raise this child." This was a threat. Moreover, it was not an ordinary threat. Her eyes widened slightly. Over the years, she wasn''t idle in thepany. People who had a high status like him would not lose in court. In this case, he was trying to pressure her with his wealth and power. "Let''s meet in court then. I''m not afraid of you." Vivianna refused to be intimidated, and she refused to back down. "Alright, we will proceed as per your wishes. Please wait for a court summons! Also, I will be bringing my son home tonight," Augustine said with a resolute expression. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Vivianna bit her red lips. She was absolutely enraged. She really wanted to p him in the face. She had lost everything because of that night four years ago. Now, he was going to take her son away? "That will be impossible. He will never be with anyone else except for me." Vivianna''s pretty almond-shaped eyes were red and they were filled with resentment. Augustine stared at her impatiently. He hated women''s tears the most. Zephaniah was ying in Yazlynn''s office. He was still worried about his daddy and his mommy. Zephaniah thought, since his parents were meeting for the first time in four years, he wasn''t sure if they would quarrel or not. Therefore, he wanted toe and have a look. While Yazlynn was washing fruits, he sneaked out of the office and ran to Augustine''s office. He pushed the door open without thinking. Augustine was facing the door, so when he heard the sound of the door opening, he instantly knew that the little guy had entered the room. Looking at the angry woman in front of him who was in tears, Augustine instinctively made a move. He jerked his strong arm and he pulled the tearful woman in front of him forcefully into his embrace. Vivianna was startled and she looked up. Tears were still in her eyes. Before she could react, she heard a surprised voice. "Wow! Daddy and Mommy are hugging each other!" Augustine smiled in a low voice. "Yes, your mommy is too excited. She''s crying." Vivianna glowered at him. This man was spouting nonsense. It was clear that he had caused her to be angry, but he still dared to say this. "Mommy, you must be very happy to see daddy, aren''t you? Don''t cry. Be brave and strong like me." The little guy consoled his mother with the words she had taught him. Vivianna was exhausted, and she felt that she was breaking down inside. She struggled to escape from Augustine''s arms, and a trace of disgust shed across her face. She resisted the touch of this man who hade to take her child away from her. "Well, that''s it. We have a deal tonight. We will have dinner at my house tonight," Augustine suddenly announced in a low voice. Vivianna raised her head and red at him, protesting with her eyes. The little guy was already jumping with joy. "Really? Mommy, can we really go to daddy''s house for dinner? Yeah! I finally have a daddy! From now on, Fatty can''t say that I don''t have a daddy." Vivianna was about to reject his offer, but when she heard her son''s excited voice at this moment, she couldn''t bring herself to do so. When they were abroad, other children had bullied him because he didn''t have a daddy. Therefore, Zephaniah had been traumatized. This caused her the most guilt and pain. At this moment, how could she be cruel and shatter her son''s dream? Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Augustine''s long and narrow eyes swept over Vivianna''s face. It was obvious that she would give in and agree to his request. "Daddy, is your house big? Is it nice? Are there any toys?" Zephaniah was already excited as he looked forward to seeing his house. "Have you seen a castle before?" Augustine asked. "I''ve seen one before! It''s huge," Zephaniah answered. "Daddy lives in a castle," he stated. "Wow! Daddy is indeed super rich," the little guy eximed. Then, he turned around to look at Vivianna and said, "Mommy, I didn''t lie to you! Daddy is wealthy." Vivianna was speechless. Does his wealth have anything to do with her? "Daddy, let me tell you something! A bad woman bullied mommy the other day. Daddy, you must back her up. Don''t let her be bullied again," he continued. Augustine immediately fixed his eyes on Vivianna. His gaze was deep and enigmatic, and no one could discern his thoughts. Vivianna blushed in embarrassment. She nced at the little guy sternly and said, "Don''t talk nonsense about me, I wasn''t bullied." The little guy blinked hisrge eyes and he was obviously disappointed. At this time, Augustine smiled suddenly and said, "Well, I''ll support your mommy. Tell me, who''s that bad woman?" Vivianna was astounded. Was this man telling the truth? Or was he lying to her son? "Mommy, what''s the name of that bad woman? You can tell daddy!" Zephaniah urged her. "I can deal with most people, and I don''t need any help," Vivianna said in a stiff tone. She just wanted to keep a distance from this man, so why would she ask for his help? Besides, wasn''t he going to bring her to court? If it weren''t for her son''s excitement, she wouldn''t have agreed to have dinner at his house tonight. Of course, she didn''t need to go. She could just find an excuse to decline the invitation. However, she could not just watch this man take away her son. What if he used some disingenuous means to win over her son, and cause him to prefer hispany? No, she had to follow them. She knew that if she wanted to win thiswsuit, her son had to stand by her side. At this moment, her cell phone rang. She picked it up from her bag and found that Linda was calling her. She nced at her son and said, "Mommy is heading out to answer this call." Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. After that, she walked out of the office quickly while answering the call. "Hi, Linda," she said. "Vivianna, I have no choice. Mrs. Lambert insists on meeting with you. Do you have time toe over now?" Linda asked. "I... I have some..." Before she could finish her words, Linda''s phone was snatched away. "Let me talk to her!" It was Jessamyn''s voice. Vivianna tensed up immediately. She heard Jessamyn''s angry voice. "Vivianna, is this how you deal with work matters? Have you heard of the saying, "the customer is king"? Do you know how much I''m willing to pay for your designs? Regardless of what you are doing now, show up in front of me quickly, or I''ll make aint about you." Vivianna bit her lips and said, "Okay, I''lle over now." "Yes, It will be good for you toe over. I just discovered that your boss is connected to Lambert Enterprise. If I want you fired, it will happen in a minute." After saying that, Jessamyn sneered and hung up the phone. Vivianna''s nostrils red due to her anger. Jessamyn was crossing the line. She had endured her actions four years ago. After four years, would she still be tortured by her? However, she needed this job. If she lost her job, how could she win thewsuit against Augustine? Would the court allow her to raise her son without a job? Therefore, this job became even more meaningful and important to Vivianna. Vivianna turned around and pushed open the door of the luxurious office. Inside the office, Augustine was chatting with the boy. Vivianna walked over, nced at the man, and then looked at her son. "Zeph, I''ll take you home now to y with Miss Winslow, alright?" "Aren''t we having dinner at daddy''s house tonight?" The little guy said expectantly. "I know. Mommy will take you there after I get off work, okay?" she said. Augustine raised his perfectly arched eyebrows and he smirked. "Why bother? Leave Zeph to me. I don''t feel at ease, leaving him with outsiders." Chapter 29 Chapter 29 "She is my assistant. She will be responsible for taking care of Zeph," Vivianna retorted. She just did not like to sumb to the man''s demands. "Anyway, from now on, I will take responsibility for my son''s well-being. If you want to go to work, please go. You can leave him with me," Augustine spoke with a tense expression. "Mommy, go to work! I''ll just follow Daddy. I still have a lot of things to discuss with Daddy!" Zephaniah did not want to leave his Daddy''s side. Vivianna had an impulse to drag him away, but Jessamyn was waiting for her. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I''ll pick you up after work." "I''ll bring him home, and my chauffeur will pick you up to go to my house." Augustine didn''t want to separate from the little guy at all. Vivianna was infuriated, but she would not show her anger and difort in front of her son. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "Alright!" Vivianna had topromise. Then, she stared at this imposing and dignified man and said, "You are not allowed to simply give Zeph any food. Also, it''s too cold here. Please turn the heat up." Augustine frowned. This woman actually dared to order him. "I definitely have the ability to take care of my son," Augustine said unhappily. How could this woman be so annoying? "Hopefully." After saying that, Vivianna left. Before she walked off, she gave Zeph a gentle and loving smile. "See youter." The little boy blew her a kiss. "Mommy, be careful." Vivianna nodded and she went out quickly. "Daddy, can you ask your driver to send Mommy to work?" The little guy felt sorry for his mom, who had to take a cab to work. He pleaded with his dad. Augustine would not refuse any of his son''s requests right now. He needed to win him over in the shortest time. "Okay." Augustine smirked and he took out his cell phone to dial his driver''s number. "Go to the main entrance and pick up a woman in a gray suit. Her name is Vivianna Carlewood. Wait for her to finish her work and send her to my house at night." When Vivianna came out of Giltstone Enterprise, she saw a middle-aged man smiling at her. "Are you Miss Vivianna Carlewood? I''m Mr. Giltstone''s driver. He asked me to send you to your workce." Vivianna was shocked and she looked up at the majestic building towering over her. "Was this man being kind?" she thought to herself. It was not easy to hail a cab right now, so she nodded and said, "Yes, please. Sorry for the trouble." Why would she refuse a ride from his driver? They reached the destination quickly. When she got out of the car, the driver said to her, "Miss Carlewood, I will wait for you here. Mr. Giltstone asked me to send you to his house in the evening." Vivianna despised Augustine, that arrogant, rude, and condescending man. However, she was polite to other people. She nodded and smiled. "Alright then, thank you." Vivianna strode into the cafe. When she arrived at the designated room, she saw Linda sitting on the sofa. Next to her, Jessamyn was in a fancy red dress. She was crossing her legs and holding a ss of red wine in her hand. "You''re finally here!" Jessamyn sneered. After saying that, she turned to Linda and said, "I want to talk to Designer Carlewood. Could you all please leave first?" Linda nodded. She gave Vivianna an encouraging look, and she left with her assistant. As soon as she closed the door, Jessamynughed. Looking at Vivianna, who looked tired, she said gleefully, "Vivianna, look at you now. I really pity you!" Vivianna said with a serious expression, "May I ask what are your opinions on my designs?" Jessamyn snorted and said, "What kind of designs are these? I think that students from primary schools cane up with better designs than you. Do you think that I will spend millions to purchase such designs?" Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Vivianna was waiting for Jessamyn to say this. She walked over and kept her design draft. She nced at her coldly and said, "It''s good that you don''t like my design. I can''t do anything about that. You should spend your money on other designers!" "What do you mean by this? You don''t want to take my order?" Jessamyn''s expression changed. In fact, she had looked thoroughly at her design just now, and she found that Vivianna''s design was detailed and unique. "Since you don''t like the design, I''m afraid that I can''t meet your requirements. In that case, please find another designer that you like!" After saying this, Vivianna took the design draft and she was about to leave. "Stop right there. I want you to be the designer. Now, I want to point out the problems with your design. Sit down." Jessamyn suppressed her anger and said this. If Vivianna just left in this manner, how could she continue to make things difficult for her in the future? Vivianna sat down and unfolded the design draft in front of her. "What''s wrong with it? Please point out the ws." Jessamyn looked at the perfect design draft and she didn''t know how to alter it. She smiled and she pointed at the gem in the middle. "This is too small. You know that Xenophilius is willing to give me everything. Even if I want the biggest and brightest diamond in the world, he will give it to me. You probably don''t know Xenophilius''s worth right now! He is ranked 21 st on the world''s billionaires list. I bet you can''t imagine his wealth." Vivianna sneered in her heart. She had just seen the richest man, but what did their wealth had to do with her? Jessamyn clearly didn''t have a clue when it came to designs. Vivianna said in a mocking tone, "If I putrge gems there, you will find it tough to wear. After all, when ites to gems, it doesn''t necessarily mean that the bigger it is, the better it is." "You... I want arge gem. Make this at least twice the size. Also, add some melee diamonds to the corners here. I want my diamond ring to be unique," Jessamyn said. "Are you sure you want to add this?" Vivianna stared at her and questioned her. Jessamyn looked up with her delicate eyes. "Yes. What''s wrong with this?" Vivianna shook her head. "Nothing. If you like this design, I''ll add in some melee diamonds ording to your request, and the size of the gems will be increased twofold. Are you satisfied?" "Vivianna, know your ce. I am the customer, and you are just an unimportant designer," Jessamyn snapped. "Yes, Mrs. Lambert, I will do as you asked. If there is nothing else, I will go back and alter the design." After saying this, Vivianna put away the design draft and she was about to leave. After all, her son was still at Augustine''s ce, so she was worried. Jessamyn was irritated and her face fell. She wanted to make things difficult for her. No matter how hard she tried to attack her, Vivianna was like an imprable fortress. She could not find her weakness. She stood up and she thought of the sports car that she had just bought. She couldn''t help but desire to show this off in front of her. She smiled and said, "Vivianna, do you want me to send you back? I will be passing by yourpany." "No need for that. I have transport," she replied. When Jessamyn heard this, she couldn''t help sneering. She was sure that it was a low-end car assigned by thepany, and she was even more eager to brag about her wealth. She went down with Vivianna, and her car was parked at the door of the cafe. Once she pressed the button to unlock her car, Vivianna would notice her beautiful car. As expected, when they walked out of the cafe, Jessamyn took out the car key and unlocked the red sports car worth 5 million dors at the door. She looked at Vivianna in an arrogant manner, only to find that she had walked to a Rolls-Royce Phantom. It was the best car in the world. Jessamyn''s eyes widened as she watched Vivianna get in the car and close the door. After a while, the car left slowly. It was a car worth tens of millions of dors. Jessamyn didn''te to her senses until she saw the car entering the traffic flow. God! How could Vivianna be sitting in such an exquisite car? She had been interested in cars in recent years, and the price of this car was absolutely astronomical. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. It felt like a p in the face. She sat in her sports car, and her face turned red with anger. She didn''t expect that her first disy of wealth would fail so badly. Could it be that Vivianna was with some wealthy man in the past few years? Jessamyn sneered. No matter who she was with, her past was a shadow that she could not eradicate. As long as she investigated this matter, she would let the man supporting Vivianna know how filthy her past was. Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Vivianna was in the car. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Vivianna certainly knew that Jessamyn was trying to show off her car. If Augustine''s driver had not been waiting for her, Jessamyn would have been gleeful. Vivianna was happy. She thought that Jessamyn was probably furious! Vivianna felt vindicated. For a vain woman like Jessamyn, the only way to humiliate her was to be richer than her. "Miss Carlewood, we''re heading to Mr. Giltstone''s castle now," the driver said calmly Vivianna took a look at the time. It was almost five o''clock in the afternoon. She nodded and said, "Okay." The car drove out of the city center and went forward on a wide road. There were almost no vehicles on this road, which seemed to be exclusively paved for Augustine. Sure enough, this road led to Augustine''s castle, which was hidden in a forest. Deep in the forest, huge sharp edges which were gray and white appeared vaguely in the distance, and the castle seemed like a giant creature which was hidden in the depths of the forest. When the car arrived at the gate of the castle garden, Vivianna was astounded and her eyes were wide. When she saw the gigantic castle at close range, she couldn''t help but stare at it for a while. "This man actually owns a castle in a forest not far away from the center of the city?" How rich would he be to be able to do such a thing? She gulped nervously, but she felt sad. The richer this man was, the greater his chance was to steal her son from her. As Vivianna stood at the door, the iron gate opened slowly, as if it was weing her. Vivianna eximed discreetly while walking through the magnificent gate of the castle. A few marble stairs led into a spacious and luxurious hall. The castle was already grand and spectacr, and the ornaments and interior design of the hall were even more extravagant and dazzling. At this time, a middle-aged man came over and smiled at her. "Miss Carlewood, right?" "Yes, is Augustine back?" she asked. "Master Giltstone and the young master are watching a movie in the movie room on the third floor," the housekeeper said. Vivianna looked at the winding stairs and she walked over without hesitation. Behind her, the housekeeper wanted to say something, but he swallowed them. Master Giltstone had ordered him not to stop Miss Carlewood, no matter what she wanted. Vivianna strode to the third floor. It was a floor catered for entertainment. It had a well-equipped gym, a billiards room, and a bar! Finally, she stood in front of a closed door. She thought, "This must be the home cinema." She reached out and pushed the door open. Augustine was sitting on the dark-colored spacious sofa. However, just as she was about to say something, he signaled for her to be quiet. He then looked down at the little guy in his arms who was fast asleep. Vivianna immediately felt a sense of jealousy. This little guy couldn''t sleep with anyone around except for her. She didn''t expect Zephaniah to fall asleep in his arms. Vivianna walked over and came to their side. Her face was close to her son''s tiny face, and she whispered, "Zeph, it''s Mommy." After that, she picked up the little guy from Augustine''s arms and cradled him as she did when he was a baby.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. The little boy pursed his lips and struggled to open his eyes briefly. He seemed to feel his Mommy''s presence, but he did not wake up. He continued to sleep. "Bring him to my room!" Augustine said in a low voice. In fact, Vivianna wanted to hug her son as he slept. However, it was too dark there, so she didn''t want to stay there. She took her son out of the room. Augustine looked at her slender and petite figure. Although the little guy was only three years old, he was more than a meter tall. Therefore, it was obvious that Vivianna was struggling to hold him. "I''ll do it." Augustine was afraid that she would fall with his son. Vivianna held her son tightly in her arms and she looked at him with vignce. "No, you can lead the way." Augustine walked to the elevator and reached out his hand to press the button. Then, they went up to the fourth floor. Chapter 32 Chapter 32 In the elevator, Vivianna looked at the little boy''s tender face and she couldn''t help kissing him a few times. Augustine was watching her with narrowed eyes and the coldness in his eyes dissipated a little. A woman was the most beautiful when she was full of maternal love. They reached Augustine''s master bedroom, and he pushed the door open. When Vivianna saw the large and opulent room, she was slightly stunned. Augustine lifted a corner of the quilt. Vivianna sat on the bed. She took off her son''s shoes and ced the little guy gently on the bed. Zephaniah whimpered, curled up, and fell into a deep sleep. Looking at his angelic and innocent little face, the man and woman in front of the bed held their breaths slightly for a moment, for fear of disturbing him. As Vivianna looked at her son, she felt an intimidating and cold gaze which was fixed on her face. Her heart was in a turmoil at that instant. Of course, she knew who was staring at her. It could only be Augustine. There was no one else in the room, not a single soul. Vivianna frowned and she noticed the maning from behind her. She stood up nervously, turned her head, and red at the tall imposing man. "What are you doing?" Vivianna looked at him warily. Augustine''s handsome face was expressionless. He reached out and he wanted to hold her hand. "Come with me. We need to talk." Since the trauma four years ago, Vivianna resisted the touch of any men. When she saw the man''s handing over, she retreated instinctively. The bed was right behind her. Her legs tripped and she lost her bnce. She was about to fall and crush the little boy on the bed. Seeing this, Augustine stretched out his arm and held her. Vivianna''s helpless hands were waving in the air, and she finally had something to hold on to. Her two slender arms were hooked around the man''s neck, just like the posture at the end of a dance. He bent down, and Vivianna was halfway in his arms. In an instant, their faces were very close to each other and their breathing was intertwined with each other. Vivianna was about to cry out due to this close distance. When she took a deep breath instinctively and was ready to call out, the man noticed this. He stretched out his hand to cover her mouth. It was going to be toote. In this case, he could only use the fastest way to stop her from calling out. He kissed her red lips hard. He stopped her from screaming loudly. He was afraid that she would awaken the little guy who had just fallen asleep. At this moment, Vivianna''s brain seemed to explode. The man held her waist with hisrge hands. As for her lips, the man was kissing them violently. The atmosphere became steamy, and the heat of the air seemed to rise. She was going crazy. Her heart was beating so quickly in a wild manner that it almost leaped out of her chest. What was this man doing? Her head was buzzing and her face was blood red. Augustine squinted slightly. The soft sweet breath on his lips caused him to be dumbfounded for a few seconds. He didn''t expect this woman to taste so sweet. He lost focus on what he was doing. He was dissatisfied with a simple kiss, and he wanted to explore the sweetness of her mouth Thus, out of instinct, he put his other hand into her hair, holding the back of her head, and he gave her a powerful kiss. Their lips were sealed together tightly. Vivianna was already in a state ofplete mindlessness. Her mind was nk and she couldn''t react. She could only watch as the kiss became deeper. His tongue pried open her teeth easily, slipped into her mouth, and caught her tongue yfully. B*stard! How dare this man take advantage of her in front of her son? "Oh God! What if Zeph wakes up and sees this? What should I do?" she thought to herself. She finally released his neck and pushed against his chest with much force, trying to stop him. Augustine smirked and helped her to stand up properly. At the same time, he did not forget to suck on her delicate lips in a tender manner before releasing her. He thought that this woman would be happy and grateful. She would probably fall in love with him and be submissive to him. However, he didn''t expect this. "p." Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. The sound of a p reverberated in the room. Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Vivianna acted out of instinct. After he took advantage of her, she reacted reflexively. The faint marks of 5 fingers appeared on Augustine''s handsome face. Vivianna stared at her hand and she was also shocked. Oh God! Did she hit him? Just as she was in a daze, he bent over suddenly, and his bewitching face approached her closely. She held her breath and stepped back. "You pped me?" The man said in a low and husky voice. He seemed intimidating and dangerous. Since he was a child, no one had scolded him or hit him. However, this woman dared toy hands on him? Vivianna felt a sense of panic and fright, but she still retorted, "Yes. You were being a jerk just now..." The man''s expression darkened. "I will remember this. When the timees, you will pay the price." N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. After that, he turned around and left. Vivianna let out a long sigh of relief. She was scared out of her wits. The burning sensation on her palm showed that she had pped him hard. "He deserves this," She snorted secretly. When she returned to the bed, she lowered her head and looked at her son''s lovely expression as he slept. She sighed. Why was Zephaniah the son of this man? Also, how did her son recognize this man and find him? As the little guy had fallen asleep, the Giltstone family''s dinner was postponed. Vivianna sat on the carpet and sheid there on the edge of the bed. Her face was leaning against her arms and she fell asleep without realizing it. Half an hourter, Augustine entered the room. His body was slender yet muscr. When he looked at the dark room where both mother and son were asleep, he was taken aback. He turned on the wallmp. He approached them. Under the dim and soft light, the lovely pair of mother and son rested there in a charming manner. Augustine''s eyebrows were tightly knitted. What was wrong with him? Did someone cast a spell on him? How could he not punish a woman who had pped him in the face? Also... He had a strong reaction to the kiss just now. He waspletely taken aback by this. D*mn it, where did this woman''s charme from? How could she cause him to be addicted, just with one kiss? Probably due to the light, the little guy stretched out his arms suddenly. His long and thick eyshes started to flutter, revealing a pair ofrge dark eyes, which were obsidian-like. The little boy was drowsy and he spotted Augustine''s face. He smiled cheerfully and called out sweetly, "Daddy." Hearing the boy''s tender voice calling ''Daddy'', Augustine''s heart, which was as hard as steel, melted instantly. At this time, the woman who was lying by the bed also woke up. Since giving birth to her son, Vivianna had been unusually alert. As long as she heard some sounds from her son, she would wake up immediately. Vivianna opened her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a strong sense of oppression. She raised her eyebrows and saw the man sitting next to her. His cold gaze fell on her face. Vivianna immediately made a gesture to wipe her saliva in embarrassment. Oh god! How long had Augustine been watching her? Did she drool? Augustine looked at her expression and he wanted tough, but he fought back hisughter as he remembered his noble and authoritative identity. He stretched out his hand and took the little guy who was beside him into his arms. When the little guy saw his parents, his expression was contented and joyful. "I''ll clean your face." Vivianna got up and said. She walked in the direction of the bathroom, only to find that the spacious bathroom was full of the masculine scent of this man. She held her breath, picked up a gray towel, and dipped it in the water. Then, she came out and wiped the little guy''s face. Augustine picked up the little guy and left the room. He spoke in a low voice to the woman who was putting the towel back in the bathroom, "It''s time for dinner." Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Vivianna put down the towel and she went out, but she was still feeling resentful deep down. Why did shee here? If she didn''te here, the events just now wouldn''t have taken ce. The dining hall downstairs was magnificent and ornate. The decorations werevish and luxurious, and one had the impression of being a distinguished guest who was there to enjoy the wonderful meal. Zephaniah was excited. Daddy''s house was huge and absolutely beautiful! On the golden table cloth, there were eight special dishes. The scrumptious dishes were well- matched, and the aroma was fragrant, which whetted everyone''s appetite. Augustine sat at the head of the table with his son in his arms. In order to take care of her son for dinner, Vivianna had to sit next to Augustine. "Zeph, what do you want to eat? Daddy will feed you." Augustine held the little guy in one hand and he was about to serve him. "Let him eat by himself. Don''t spoil him," Vivianna said. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Augustine was slightly stunned, and the little guy in his arms immediately climbed down obediently. "Daddy, I''ll help myself." Vivianna changed her seat and allowed her son to sit between them. She ced the food served by a servant in front of him. Augustine wanted to spoil their son, but he didn''t get the chance to do this. There was a spoon beside the little guy and his chubby little hand was holding a fork. Vivianna put some vegetables on his te. The little guy started to eat. "Mommy, Daddy''s house is so big! Shall we sleep with daddy tonight?" The little guy raised his tiny face and looked at her eagerly. Vivianna didn''t have much appetite. She was drinking soup. Her son''s words surprised her and she choked. "Ahem! Ahem!" She covered her mouth in a hurry and she coughed a few times. "Mommy, are you okay? Are you feeling ufortable?" The little guy patted her back quickly in an anxious manner. Vivianna pulled out a piece of tissue paper and she covered her mouth. She couldn''t say anything at that moment. The handsome face of the man at the head of the table became gloomy. Vivianna finally calmed down. She snorted and said, "Son, hurry up and eat. Let''s go home after dinner." "No! Can we sleep with daddy tonight? Fatty sleeps with his dad and mom too!" The little guy refused to go home, and he wanted to experience the feeling of sleeping with his parents. Vivianna blushed. She nced at the man and she noticed that he was eating from his te in a elegant manner. He seemed calm and unperturbed. The little guy immediately pleaded with her while pouting, "Mommy, please!" Vivianna was at a loss, and she didn''t know what to do. At this time, a low and maic male voice interrupted her. "Just agree to his request." Vivianna was frightened. She raised her head and red at the man. "No." She could agree to any request of her son, but she couldn''t force herself to sleep with this man. Zephaniah was smart and conniving. In fact, the little guy knew that his Daddy and Mommy were not as loving as he imagined them to be. He wanted to get them to be close through his efforts. "Boohoo..." The little guy stopped eating, and his hands were curled up on his knees. He felt aggrieved. Tears streamed down his cheeks, and he cried miserably. Vivianna was shocked. What happened to her son today? Why did he be so disobedient? He even cried when he couldn''t get his way. She couldn''t even remember when was thest time her son had cried so sadly. "I want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy! I want you both!" The little guy continued to say this and he burst into tears. "Zephaniah, we are having dinner, eat properly. Why are you crying?" Vivianna scolded the boy, and she did not want to give in to him. "If Mommy doesn''t agree to sleep with Daddy, I won''t eat," The little guy retorted. Augustine narrowed his eyes. He was shrewd and intelligent. He was aware of the truth. His son''s acting was not bad. In order to get his parents to sleep together, he put forth his best efforts. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 "Zephaniah, stop crying. If you continue to cry, we''ll go home now," Vivianna said. The little guy cried even more sadly. "Boohoo... No, Mommy, I have never slept with both Daddy and Mommy before. I just really want to sleep with both of you." Seeing this, Augustine immediately coaxed him and said, "Alright, I''ll sleep with you and Mommy tonight. Stop crying." "Hey... you..." Vivianna''s eyes became wide. "What was he talking about? When did she agree to this?" she thought to herself. Augustine looked at her coldly. "Your son is crying so hard, and you dare to refuse him? If you can''t even love your son, what right do you have to raise him?" Vivianna was about to go crazy. How could this man threaten her with the matter of child custody? "I love my son very much," Vivianna retorted. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Augustine snorted lightly and said, "Since you love him, you should respect his request. Besides, I didn''t take care of him before, so he needs a father''s love. It''s not too much for him to ask to sleep with us!" Vivianna... couldn''t refute this. Oh God! Deep down, she didn''t want to do this. The little guy didn''t understand the conversation just now. When he saw that his Mommy was silent, he thought that she had tacitly approved his request. He immediately held Vivianna''s waist and eximed, "Thank you, Mommy!" His tears and snot were not even dried up yet, and he was excited already. Vivianna looked at her son''s excited face. How could she refuse him in such a cruel manner? "Okay! Mommy agrees to your request, but you have to finish dinner." Vivianna had to take a deep breath. She thought that she would definitely get out of the bed when her son fell asleep. "Yes! I''ll definitely finish my food," The little guy promised. Looking at the mother and son, Augustine picked up the wine ss with his slender fingers. With a sip of the deep red liquid, it stained his seductive thin lips. With his ck shirt, it gave people an illusion that he was a vampire. Vivianna gulped involuntarily. How could there be such a man in this world? After dinner, it was still early. Besides, the little guy had just woken up, so he was in good spirits. Augustine nned to take him to a park nearby for a walk. Of course, the little guy invited Vivianna in an enthusiastic manner. She was also worried about her son going off with Augustine, so she went with them. On the way to the park, Vivianna looked at the little guy who was hopping around like a cheerful rabbit. She was moved, and she felt her heart softening. It was probably due to the man beside her! It seemed that the little guy felt that he was supported by a strong presence. What happened today was like a roller coaster, and her heart could not bear the ups and downs anymore. Her son suddenly had a father who was the world''s richest man? This was something that had never crossed her mind. "I have a suggestion," Augustine''s deep voice rang in her ears. Vivianna turned around and looked at him in surprise. "No matter who gets the rights to raise Zephaniah, we must keep this a secret from him, and live together for more than two years," he said. Vivianna was startled. What kind of suggestion was this? This wasn''t fair. "My son belongs to me. He won''t live with anyone except myself," Vivianna said confidently. However, the next second, an imposing and tall figure blocked her way. The man narrowed his cold eyes and stared into her eyes. "In that case... starting tomorrow, you have to move into my house and stay here." Vivianna was dumbfounded once again. She red at him and said, "I don''t want to." "You have no choice!" He threatened her, and the man saw that the little guy was about to turn the corner. He immediately caught up to him with his long legs. Behind him, Vivianna''s pretty face was flushed with anger. What did he mean by this? Why was he forcing her to move in with him and stay with him? So that he could establish a close rtionship with his son? Was he crazy? Chapter 36 Chapter 36 In the following days, Vivianna watched how the man in front of her coaxed her son to make him giggle. She felt a little bitter as this man forcefully intervened in the rtionship between her son and her. After walking around the garden, it was already eight-thirty in the evening. When Augustine came back, he carried the little guy on his neck. The little boy''sughter broke through the sky. Vivianna was behind the two when she heard her sonugh with such glee, the corners of her mouth couldn''t help but curved into a smile unconsciously. As a mother, her son''s happiness was her joy. She couldn''t suppress this kind of feeling even if she wanted to. When he returned to the living room, the little guy was already so out of breath, Augustine had to hold him in his arms. The handsome Augustine could not help but approach the boy, kissing him repeatedly, making the little guy so itchy that he couldn''t stop giggling. The smile on Augustine''s charming face was full of affection and love from the bottom of his heart. Vivianna noticed it when she entered. She was stunned for a few seconds as the way this man spoke to her just now was simply devilish. However, in this moment, he had be an angel. Looking at her son on the sofa, she spoke, "Zeph, time for your bath." "Mommy, can Daddy help me tonight?" The little guy replied instantly. Vivianna was furious. It was not a good thing for her son to get so close to Augustine. Upon hearing it, Augustine cast a gaze at her with his deep and charming eyes, Vivianna red at him grumpily. "All right, Daddy will bathe you. Let''s go! From now on, Daddy will bathe you every day." Augustine was really enjoying little Zeph''s reliance on him! "Yes!" The little fellow nodded excitedly. When they went upstairs, Vivianna found out that all the servants in the castle were gone. She couldn''t help but follow them upstairs. She remembered that there seemed to have an abundance of guest rooms on the fourth floor. She thought, "After I coax Zeph to sleep, I''d head back to the guest room to sleep." In the bathroom, Augustine bathed the chubby little guy for the first time. The little guy''s looked fair and healthy, and his ck hair was stained with water. Under the bright light, he seemed handsome yet adorable. His big watery eyes made Augustine think of Vivianna in an instant. Zeph''s facial features were identical to Augustine''s, but the boy''s eyes were clear and pure, just like his mother''s. "Daddy, where are my grandparents?" The little guy asked curiously, blinking his huge eyes in the process. Augustine''s alluring face twitched slightly, but he gently smiled. "They are living abroad right now, I will arrange for you to meet them soon." "Okay!" The little guy seemed like he couldn''t wait to meet his grandparents. Vivianna entered the master bedroom. When she did so, she noticed that the cooly-styled and spacious room was oozing with the host''s picky personality. She couldn''t help but walk towards the balcony. Augustine carried the little guy out of the bathroom, but the little fellow had no clothes to wear.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Augustine remembered that when the castle was first built, the room next to his bedroom was designed to be a child''s room. He should have spare clothes for his son in that room. He wrapped the little guy using a quilt and told him not to get out of the bed while he pushed the door and went to the next room. Then he came back with a set of pyjamas and put it on him. Vivianna leaned against the railing at the balcony, gazing at the man who was dressing his son on the bed. She couldn''t believe it. This man gave off an impression that he was cold, noble and arrogant. At this moment, he looked like a real dad in front of his son. Actually, it didn''t seem like a bad thing for Zeph to have such a father. Vivianna pondered. Vivian couldn''t help but shook her head. What was she thinking about? Did she mellow out just because he treated her son well? Vivianna opened the door and headed back into the room. Augustine''s eyes swept over, "It''s your turn to bathe." Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Vivianna''s gaze faltered faintly, "I... I don''t have any clothes, I''m not going to bathe." "Mommy, that''s unhygienic. You must bathe!" The little boy immediately started to lecture. "I''ll get it for you." A wicked smile appeared on Augustine''s lips. He got up and went out. Since there were clothes for a child, naturally, there''d be women''s as well. Vivianna frowned. Where would he get clothes? After a short while, he came back with three sets of pajamas in different styles. However, the pajamas all shared the same characteristic. They were all very revealing. He threw them on the bed and spoke, "You can choose it yourself." Vivianna''s face flushed red when she saw how sexy the pajamas were. She gritted her teeth and turned her head, "I don''t want to wear it." "You''re not allowed to get on my bed without taking a bath." "If it weren''t for my son, who would want to sleep on your bed?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "It''s every woman''s dream to sleep with me!" Augustine sneered. Vivianna seized his words and taught her son immediately, "Zeph, look at your father''s private life. It''s too messy. You should never learn this from him." Augustine''s appealing face dropped. He looked at the little guy and corrected, "Don''t listen to your mom''s nonsense. I have only slept with one woman so far. And she''s your Mommy." Vivianna''s expression froze. How could that be possible? The little guy blinked and blinked, "Really? Daddy, you only sleep with Mommy?" "Yes, she''s the only one I have slept with." Augustine confirmed. Vivianna was going crazy. Could he not talk about such grown-up topic with her son? Sooner or later, he''s going to bring up Zeph in the wrong way. "Stop, stop talking about this. Don''t mention it again." Vivianna stopped him in an instant. If they kept talking, she would have to dig a hole and jump in. Of course, she was not as easily-deceived as her son. In all these years, how could Augustine have slept with only Vivianna? For a man of his status, even if he did not take the initiative to look for them, there would have countless desperate women who would want to sleep with him. All men had sexual desires, there was no way Augustine did not sleep with those women! "Mommy, hurry up and take your bath! Well be sleeping on daddy''s huge bed after that!" The little guy started jumping on the bed enthusiastically as if that massive bed was a trampoline bed. Vivianna looked at thedies'' pajamas. She frowned and uttered with dislike, "I will not wear clothes worn by other women." Augustine frowned and stated, "These clothes haven''t been worn by anyone." "I still won''t wear it." Vivianna''s petite face crumpled. Why should she wear pajamas this sexy for him to look at? The man smirked. "Are you afraid? I''m afraid that you won''t be able to pull it off with what you have." "I''m in good shape!" "Then wear it and show me." "I..." Vivianna realised that she had been tricked. As soon as she looked up, her gaze met his dark eyes, which were filled with despicable mockery. Well, Vivianna was not an eighteen-year-old girl anymore, she had even had a baby As she had to breastfeed her baby in public previously, she had long gotten rid of the bashfulness a young girl would have when it came to revealing her body. At this moment, Augustine was really agitating her, so Vivianna lowered her head, looked at the pajamas and chose the wine-red set, "I''ll wear it. Game on." The man raised his sharp brow and his sexy lips raised with a hint of victory. He could not wait for what she had in store for him. Vivianna took the pajamas into the bathroom, not forgetting to close the door. Zeph''s tiny arms hugged Augustine''s neck from behind. He pouted, "Daddy, can you stop fighting with Mommy? Can''t you give in to Mommy?" Augustine turned his head and noticed that the Zeph''s eyes were full of heartfelt love for this woman. He couldn''t help but soften his demeanour. He raised his brows in agreement. "Fair enough, I''ll give in next time." "Promise me that you will love her like I do!" Zeph demanded. Augustine frowned faintly. This little guy definitely got his intelligence from Augustine. Zeph was so wise at such a young age. "I promise." Augustine nodded. Q Chapter 38 Chapter 38 "Well! I believe Daddy will love Mommy as much as I do." After the little guy finished, he kissed Augustine on his cheek. Augustine hugged him as he couldn''t help but kissed Zeph''s cheek repeatedly. This was his son! He felt proud and contented. After Vivianna took a shower, she changed into the wine-red pajamas. When she wore it, the set fit her 1,65m physique so perfectly it felt as if they were customized solely for her. However, this was just too revealing. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. She tried to cover up with her hands. The deep V cor did nothing but perfectly showing off her beautiful figure. "Oh my god!" Vivianna felt deted. She really didn''t want to wear the pajamas. However, if she went back on her words, he would definitely mock her. She didn''t want to be a coward in front of this man. She had an inner battle with herself. After a while, she tried tofort herself before she dared to head out. Think about it, this kind of clothes were for celebrities and nobledies to wear in public! She only needed to wear it in front of this man, what''s wrong with that? Besides, didn''t he say, that with her figure like that, he wouldn''t even do anything to her. Humph! He was not up to her standard! Vivianna opened the bathroom door and walked out confidently. Her long hair, which was originally curled up at the back of her head, now cascaded naturally in front of her chest with a hint of curl. She did it on purpose just to cover her the glorious view of her breasts. As for the man who was ying with the kid on the bed, when he heard the door of the bathroom was pushed open, straightened himself and sat up in no time. Those mysterious eyes darkened enigmatically the moment he saw hering out of the bathroom. D*mn it, he didn''t expect that the woman in the pajamas would be as gorgeous as the sexydy from the painting. Even if her breasts were not so impressed with her suit. With this pajamas, her figure was lined out. Moreover, her petite oval face looked even more delicate and elegant beneath the light. The wine-red pajamas entuated her bare skin so much they appear to be so pale. She looked as if she was glowing. Her body proportion was evenly spread that you could see her curves at the right ces. Even her posture seemed to so graceful. She made his throat dry, he was enchanted. "Wow, Mommy! You look so beautiful in this dress!" The little guy and his father were both awestruck by her. Under the gaze of his beast-like eyes, Vivianna instinctively covered her chest. For no reason at all, her heart rate elerated. She red at him, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a woman before!" The man on the bed exuded a frosty breath, and his obsidian-like narrow eyes cooled down immediately. He hummed, "Nothing." Upon hearing this, Vivianna was unconvinced. "If there is nothing worth seeing then don''t look at all." "Daddy, Mommy already took her bath. Is it your turn now?" Zeph urged. He wanted to snuggle between his parents so that he could indulge in the blissful feeling as a family of three. Augustine smirked, "All right, Daddy is going to take a bath now." When Vivianna saw him walking into the bathroom, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to the little fellow, "Stop jumping and lie down now." Zephy in the arms of his mother obediently while rolling into the golden-rimmed grey quilt. His eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, Vivianna adored them very much. She kissed his face a few times with her rouge lips. He snuggled up to his mother, feeling happy and warm. Vivianna was wrapped in the quilt, which eased some of her bashfulness. However, the scent of male hormones that drifted out of the quilt made her breathing a little ragged. In her breath, it was filled with the crisp scent that only Augustine had. She couldn''t escape it even if she wanted to. Shortly after, there was a sound from the bathroom. Vivianna knew that the man hade out from the bathroom, her body tightened up all of a sudden followed by an inexplicable tension. Although they were separated by Zeph, she could still feel a dangerous aura wafting towards her. "Oh, my God!" How did she end up giving herself to him in his bed within a day? At this time, the other end of the bed weighed down. Vivianna saw the many down. He was not wearing a shirt. He turned around and faced her. Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Suddenly, a perfectly sculpted face that was both sublime and icy came face-to-face with hers, Vivianna''s heart was beating fast it was about to jump out of its cage. This man was undeniably the most attractive man she had ever seen. In the past, she used to think that Xenophilius was considered quite handsome. However, when Vivianna saw the man now, only did she know what it took to be the epitome of outstanding. Zeph was tossing around with excitement. He stared at Daddy for a while, then turned his gaze to Mommy. He was as happy as a puppy, kissing both of them here and there. Vivianna couldn''t help but hold Zeph''s tiny body which was rolling over repeatedly. "Alright, don''t move. Go to sleep." Only then did the little guyy t on his back. As Zeph''s adorable head was so small it would not block her view, Vivianna''s gaze identally fell upon Augustine''s sharp eyes. His eyes were dark and deep, exuding an extreme danger like two drifting abysses. Moreover, it was not as cold and sharp as usual, as if there was a dim fire burning inside. It was like his eyes could swallow This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. her at once. Vivianna quickly closed her eyes. She didn''t want to look at him anymore. Although Zeph had taken a nap in the afternoon, he was still exhausted. It was almost ten in the evening, so he turned around and held Vivianna''s face with his two chubby little hands. This was a habit he had since young. Whenever he slept with Vivianna, his little hands would reach over instinctively. Augustine felt a little strange. Why was the little guy sleeping with his back facing him? He couldn''t help have a peek. He propped up with his slender arms. When he leaned over, he found out that Zeph was holding his mother''s face while he slept! This scene stunned him. It seemed like it was difficult to let the little guy leave his mother. After all, Zeph had lived with Vivianna ever since he was born. If Augustine forcefully took his son back, Zeph would certainly felt devastated as he would lose his mother. Therefore, it seemed like Augustine needed to spend more time with Vivianna in order to make Zeph like him. Zeph hugged Vivianna for a while, and he was not yet asleep. He turned around all of a sudden. His little hand touched Augustine''s good-looking face, and Augustine''s mouth curved into a smile. Zeph''s blinked at him, and Augustine let him hold his face to sleep. In fact, Vivianna didn''t fall asleep at all. She felt a little jealous after seeing her son leaving her to hug Augustine. All of a sudden, a long limb poked at Vivianna''s legs under the quilt. Her eyes shot open to re at the man in front of her. However, the man opposite her was already asleep with her son''s forehead against his! And under the quilt, that long limb rested on her thin legs daringly. The man''s burning temperature made Vivianna''s face flush in embarrassment. This man was so shameless. She gently pulled her legs away from his thighs and turned her back to face them. She also moved her body to the farthest edge of the bed, giving him no chance of repeating his rogue behavior. Augustine closed his eyes and pretended to sleep with his son, but there was an inexplicable fire burning in his heart, which made his mind feel wide awake. Since young, Augustine had never thought about taking advantage of women or had any lewd intentions. However, the woman who slept in his bed today gave him a mischievous idea. When his limb pressed on her thin legs just now, the touch was so smooth and soft, it was irresistible! When Augustine apanied the little guy to sleep, he had pretended to be asleep. Otherwise, if Zeph felt that the adults were not asleep, he would not sleep as well. At this moment, Augustine heard his son''s steady breath. He leaned back slightly and squinted at the little guy''s sleeping face. The corners of Augustine''s mouth curved into a gentle smile, oozing with a father''s love, and he ced a kiss on Zeph''s little forehead. Vivianna listened carefully to her son''s movements as well. Seeing that the little guy did not move, she guessed that he must have fallen asleep. She flipped the quilt over and got out of bed silently. All of a sudden, she heard a hoarse and low voice asking her, "Where are you going?" Vivianna turned her head and looked at her son''s sleeping figure. She lowered her voice and said, "I''m going to sleep next door. You can sleep with Zeph!" When the man heard that she was going to leave, he looked at her with a gloomy face and stated, "No, we must sleep together." Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Vivianna could not care less about Augustine''s words. Since her son was already asleep. She could sleep wherever she wanted. After that, she put on her shoes and strode out of the master bedroom. She pushed open the door of the guest room andid down to sleep casually, and she did not forget to lock the door. After all, this was Augustine''s home, she had to take precaution. The night ended with Augustine sleeping with the little guy, while Vivianna slept in the guest room. In the end, the man couldn''t sleep at all. He now had his son in his house and a seductive woman. How could Augustine fall asleep? Nevertheless, Vivianna was sound asleep all the way until dawn. Early in the morning. Vivianna was roused by the sound of Zeph''sughtering from the window. When she opened the window, she saw Zeph and Augustine ying with a ball. The little boy jumped with the ball as if he knew what he was doing. Augustine was in a casual ck suit. While teaching Zeph, Augustine would pick Zeph up from time to time. He even taught the little boy how to do sit-ups. When he did so, he would press Zeph''s legs and observe Zeph try very hard to do his sit-ups. After doing it for nearly eight times, the little guy was exhausted. Augustine lifted him up andy on the grass while holding Zeph in his arms, and they giggled loudly. The father and son duo sure looked lovely. Leaning on the windowsill, Vivianna sighed. This kind of happiness was what her son never got to experience since he was a child. In the past, she would take his son to a nearby court. Seeing those fathers ying football with their sons made the little guy reluctant to leave. He would look at them with his twinkling big eyes which were full of envy. At that time, she wanted to cry when she looked at her son. Now, she thought, his son no longer need to feel jealous of other children, because he had an amazing father. Vivianna had to work today. She took a look at the time, and it was almost half-past eight. She was runningte! She opened the wardrobe subconsciously and saw that there were plenty of women''s clothes inside. They were all new, and there was a row of pajamas as well. D*mned Augustine! The previous night, he had purposely chosen the sexy pajamas even though there were many other pajamas. Vivianna had a feeling that she had been tricked! N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. She chose an elegant outfit. The top was snowywhite and it was matched with a tight pencil skirt, showing off her curves perfectly. When Vivianna went downstairs, she happened to see Augustineing in with the little guy. Vivianna took the bag and spoke to Zeph, "Zeph, you''ll be ying here today. Mommy is going to work. You have to be a good boy, alright?" "Okay! Mommy, don''t worry! I''ll be very obedient." After saying that, Vivianna realised that no taxi would be around this area. So she said to Augustine, "Hey, can you lend me a car?" "The car is in the underground garage. You can pick it by yourself." Augustine replied. The butler, Damian, came over and uttered, "Miss Carlewood, I''ll take you there." After that, he went to the elevator and pressed the button. She followed the housekeeper into the elevator. The little guy was still waving to her happily. Vivianna couldn''t help but give him a flying kiss with a smile before the elevator door shut. After arriving directly at the basement garage, Vivianna thought that she would be given just any ordinary car. To her surprise, there were more than 50 cars lined up neatly in the garage and all of them were top-grade luxury cars worth tens of millions of dors. Vivianna was dumbfounded. "Miss Carlewood, please pick one! The keys are all in the cars!" Damian said. Vivianna took a deep breath and walked in front of these cars. She was having problems deciding. "Well, which car is the cheapest?" Vivianna asked feverishly. Chapter 41 Chapter 41 "Miss Carlewood, Master Giltstone does not have any inexpensive cars. They are all about the same price," the butler chuckled. Vivianna swallowed nervously and made her choice. She pointed to a white sports car and said, "This one will do!" "Okay, you can sit inside. I will teach you if you are unsure about anything," Damian said with a smile. Vivianna opened the door and got in. A sense of nobility engulfed her when she did so. She adjusted her seat and held the steering wheel while Damian guided her. Vivianna soon mastered the basics. She used to drive to work every day when she was abroad, so driving was not unfamiliar for her. However, she had never driven such an expensive sports car. She drove out of the garage. Then, she navigated her way to her office. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Although Jessamyn''s request the previous day was very unreasonable, since she insisted to change it, Vivianna did not have any opinion. Anyway, it was Jessamyn''s own money that would be wasted. If the diamond ring turned out to be too heavy of a ring, it''d be Jessamyn''s problem. Thus, Vivianna''s only needed to modify it ording to Jessamyn''s opinion. She parked the sports car in thepany''s underground parking lot. Vivianna locked the car and took the elevator to her office. As soon as she opened the door, she felt that there were strange gazes shooting towards her from all directions. She looked at these employees strangely. She walked to her seat with a confused look. Before she could sit down, Linda''s assistant came. "Designer Carlewood, Linda is looking for you." Vivianna got up and walked towards Linda''s office. When she pushed the door open, Vivianna realized that the way Linda looked at her was odd as well. "What''s wrong? Is there anything on my face today?" Vivianna was amused by the atmosphere. "Vivianna, please tell the truth, are you acquainted with Augustine Giltstone?" Vivianna looked at her in shock and thought to herself. "God, how does Linda know about this? Did Winslow say it?" "How did you know?" "I''m not the only one who knows, everyone in thepany knows now, because Augustine came to thepany early in the morning looking for you." "Ah? Winslow wasn''t the one who told you?" "This news came from the front desk." Vivianna really had no idea that Augustine came to look for her at thepany the previous morning. She blinked her eyes at Linda, not wanting to hide the truth. "Augustine is Zeph''s father." Linda instantly felt excited for Vivianna. "What? Really? God! Do you know who he is?" "Yes, my son told me that he is the richest man in the world." "Vivianna, you''re so lucky. Back then, you actually slept with such an attractive and outstanding man. You don''t need to worry anymore!" Linda spoke enviously. Vivianna gave her a wry smile. "Why don''t I have to worry? He''s here to steal my son away from me. I won''t give him my son!" "Why should you give him your son? Just marry him!" Linda said absentmindedly. Vivianna opened her eyes wide, her face flushed. "How could that be possible? Why would I marry him? I''m not interested in men." "You can''t stay single for the rest of your life because of what happened in the past, can you?" "I hate men so much that I won''t get married even if threatened with death!" Vivianna replied firmly. Linda looked at her speechlessly, "Alright, you make your choice! Did Jessamyn say anything to you yesterday?" "Yes, I''ve agreed to change the design ording to what she wanted. She wants to embed a diamond twice as big with miniature diamonds surrounding it. It''s a very nonsensical design. However, since she likes it, I''ll do it for her." "Didn''t you tell her that the design does not make sense?" "Yes, she said that she was determined to change it like this. What else could I say?" Vivianna replied with an icy look. Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Linda could only sigh, "Okay! Let me take a look after you have changed it. It seems like Jessamyn doesn''t know anything about jewelry design." "She has been Mrs. Lambert for a long time. Other than giving orders and being demanding, there''s nothing else for her to do," Vivianna muttered indifferently. "It''s tough on you," Linda replied. When Vivianna returned to the office, Winslow came over and asked her with a smile, "Miss Carlewood, where is Zeph?" "He is at the Giltstone residence." "Is Augustine really his father?" Winslow asked. "Yes! Please don''t spread the news. It''s not safe for Zeph," Vivianna raised her head and reminded Winslow. "Don''t worry, I promise I won''t tell anyone. However, the news about you and Augustine is all over the ce." "What is it about?" "It''s said that Augustine is pursuing you." Vivianna''s pen slipped and fell out of her grip, her pretty face instantly flushing a bright red, "Who said that?" "I don''t know! That is what everyone has been saying. Miss Carlewood, don''t you know that every woman in thepany is envious of you?" Vivianna was speechless. Augustine was pursuing her? Everyone would die fromughter when they found out the truth. Vivianna took a deep breath and walked out of the office. She addressed those who were still whispering with a stern face, "You don''t have to guess anymore. There is nothing going on between Augustine and me. How can a powerful man like him take a fancy to me? "But Miss Carlewood,st night, Augustine requested to see you!" "He just wanted to ask me something." "Then Miss Carlewood, do you like him? It is such a good opportunity, you have to seize it!" "I''m not interested in him." All the girls were stunned. s, they finally found a woman who was not interested in the mighty Augustine Giltstone! "Is that true? Miss Carlewood, even a fine man like him is not within your league?" "I''m not interested in any man." After saying that, Vivianna entered her own office. While holding her head, she began to think about ways to change Jessamyn''s design n. In the Giltstone family''s castle. Augustine had obtained detailed information about Vivianna. He sent his men to find out earlier that day. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. When he saw the information showing that she had been married four years ago, his sharp eyebrows scrunched together. "This woman has been married?" Inexplicably, Augustine thought about her sexy appearance in her pajamas the previous night. Her lovely body had been touched by other men before... His chest felt a sense of madness. "Xenophilius Lambert?!" Augustine silently whispered the name when he saw the name of her ex- husband. He didn''t expect that her ex-husband was Xenophilius Lambert, the current president of Lambert Enterprise. Augustine''s face darkened. They were married for half a year, this meant that Xenophilius and Vivianna must have made love before... This woman had been touched by someone else. Augustine put the documents aside with displeasure. He no longer had the mood to read it. His mood felt like it was bitten by a dog. He was very anxious and depressed. "Daddy... can we go now?" Zeph''s voice suddenly came out of nowhere. The little guy went downstairs with a hat on his head. He wanted to buy toys with daddy. Augustine had also decided to build a huge yground for Zeph in the castle''s garden. Augustine stared at this little guy softly. Fortunately, Zephaniah inherited all of Augustine''s genes, and he was a pure offspring of Augustine''s. He reached out to hug Zeph before giving him a kiss. "Let''s go!" "Yay! We are going to buy toys!" The little guy turned in a circle a few times excitedly. Augustine smiled and went up to hold his tiny hand. Damian had already prepared a grey sports car for Augustine. Zeph hollered in amazement. Augustine opened the door for Zeph and even fastened the seat belt for him. n Chapter 43 Chapter 43 In the afternoon, Vivianna was still altering the design sketch to the extent that she felt dizzy. After all, the design proposed by Jessamyn did not meet the usual standards. Thus, Vivianna needed to make many adjustments. Around 12 o''clock, Linda knocked on the door of her office and spoke to her, "Vivianna, let''s go. Let''s have lunch together." "I''ll just eat in the cafeteria," Vivianna looked up and replied. Linda looked at her with some distress, "No, I haven''t treated you to a meal since you''vee back. Let''s go! I''ll treat you to a big meal." Vivianna then got up enthusiastically, picked up her purse on the table, and followed Linda. In the past four years, while Vivianna had been away, the economy in this city developed fast and changed so much. Linda suddenly remembered while walking to the parking lot. "Oops! I left my car keys on my desk." As it was lunch break, it would be a hassle to wait for the elevator. Vivianna smiled and offered, "I drove to work today, why don''t I drive?" Linda was surprised, "You bought a car!" Vivianna could not help but feel a little embarrassed, so she exined, "A friend lent it to me for the time being." "Alright, you drive then!" Linda replied. When she walked to the parking lot, she saw Vivianna took out the key and pressed the open button followed by two crisp beeps. Linda looked up and saw the lights of the white Bugatti sports car shing. "This one?" Linda was stunned while gazing at her. Vivianna pursed her lips and exined, "Yes! My friend is quite wealthy." "The person must be extremely rich to lend you a sports car!" Linda clicked her tongue while opening the door of the co-pilot seat to get in. Vivianna started the engine of the sports car and drove out of the parking lot. Linda, who was sitting by the side, sat cheerfully and shrieked. "So shy!" Vivianna smiled awkwardly as she was a little embarrassed because it was Augustine''s carthat she was driving. Under Linda''s navigation, they arrived at an expensive restaurant. Vivianna''s car was immediately weed to the VIP parking lot. It was probably because of the shy car that they received special treatment. Linda felt really shy. After Vivianna got out of the car, the two of them headed into the restaurant. The environment was elegant as it was a ce for the rich and famous. Vivianna and Linda ordered a meal and talked about thepany''s affairs. Time passed in the blink of an eye. Around 1:30 p.m., both of them had already finished eating and were ready to leave. "Linda, please wait for me for a moment. I''m going to the washroom to wash my hands. I''ve gotten some grease on it," Vivianna handed her bag to Linda. After Linda took it, Vivianna went straight to the washroom. When she finished washing and drying her hands, she lowered her head and headed out. At the same time, a man also exited the washroom. Vivianna almost bumped into him. "I''m sorry," Vivianna instinctively apologised and looked up at the man she almost bumped. The man also bowed his head to look at her. Their eyes locked into each other. All of a sudden, Vivianna''s face drastically changed. This man turned out to be Xenophilius. Xenophilius was dumbfounded. He didn''t expect to meet Vivianna in the restaurant. Four years had passed, and he had long forgotten the existence of this woman. He didn''t expect that he would meet her again! At this moment, Vivianna was dressed in an elegant and professional-looking outfit. Her hair was styled neatly at the back of her head, which revealed her fair and delicate face. Her calm eyes were no longer like the weak girl he knew four years ago. She had transcended into an enchanting young lady. Xenophilius''s eyes widened slightly. Vivianna wanted to leave anxiously, but Xenophilius had other thoughts. He sped her arm and murmured, "Vivianna." "Let go of me," Vivianna''s voice was cold and hurried. Xenophilius then questioned, "How have you been in the past few years?" She looked back at him and replied mockingly, "I''m fine. Are you satisfied?" She used to love this man. Vivianna devoted her everything to him and even saw him as her lifetime partner, but who knew, Xenophilius had hurt her ruthlessly in the end, leaving her wounded. At this moment, there were no feelings for him in Vivianna''s heart apart from hatred. To her, Xenophilius was even more distant than a stranger. Xenophilius looked her up and down. Vivianna at present was like a blooming flower. She was pure, wless, and elegant. It was breathtaking! "Xenophilius, let go!" Vivianna sounded icy. She pulled her arm away from hisrge palm and then left the corridor instantly, but Xenophilius easily followed her in huge strides. In four years'' time, Xenophilius had be wiser and more appealing. The Xenophilius now was extremely wealthy with apletely different vibe than before. He stared at Vivianna''s retreating figure as they headed downstairs back to the restaurant. Vivianna took her bag from Linda and said, "Let''s get out of here, quick!" Linda was surprised. Vivianna looked like she was running away from a disaster. "What''s wrong?" Linda asked. Vivianna replied hurriedly, "There is someone that I don''t want to see here." In the end, she was still a little panicked. Vivianna thought that she could face this man calmly, but his sudden appearance still manage to rile up her emotions. Xenophilius followed her downstairs and was only a few steps behind. He looked at the slender figure in front of him and was startled by what he saw. When Vivianna left back then, with nothing in hand, he assumed that her life would be difficult from then on. However, the present Vivianna exuded a sense of confident elegance. In the past few years, Xenophilius did not dare to think about her as he felt ashamed when thinking about Vivianna. As he rose in rank and nobility, he was gradually reminded of his shameful past. He had thought ofpensating Vivianna for hurting her. However, he didn''t do it because he couldn''t put down his ego. Now that they''d met again, and he knew that she had returned to City A, his intention to compensate Vivianna once again strengthened. Linda looked back and noticed a tall man in a grey suit tailing her. His nce was fixated on Vivianna, and she instantly knew who he was. "Could it be... It''s her ex-husband?" Xenophilius''s car happened to be in the direction Vivianna was walking to. Vivianna was eager to leave him, so she swiftly took out her car key and unlocked the car. The white luxury sports car beeped in response. When Xenophilius saw Vivianna opening the door of the driver''s seat, his handsome face went into a momentary shock. How could Vivianna drive such a high-end sports car? Vivianna drove out of the carpark. When she passed by Xenophilius, his shocked expression reflected onto the car window. When he saw her looking so sensual and sessful in a sportscar, his heart was so bewitched that it went offbeat. After they drove a few hundred meters away, Linda asked, "Was that your ex-husband?" N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. "Yes," Vivianna chuckled wryly. "He looked like a well-dressed dog, acting like he''s human and all that!" Linda scoffed. Vivianna sniped. She would never forget the way he looted her father''s shares from her and forced her to sign it four years ago. She would never forget how malicious he looked then. "However, Vivianna, you have quite a good friend here! Your ex-husband must be startled to see this sports car! You''re not doing so bad at all, driving such an expensive sports car." Vivianna gave a wry smile. Augustine''s icy face shed across her mind. Indeed, thanks to him, she could now behave smugly in front of Jessamyn. However, this man wanted to steal her son! Chapter 44 Chapter 44 In the afternoon, Vivianna felt sick after meeting Xenophilius. Moreover, she had to design Jessamyn''s diamond ring, which made her feel really ironic. Around six o''clock in the evening, she drove the sports car back to the pce. To be honest, she had no intention to be there, but her son was here. Where could she go? She would go wherever her son was! The castle of the Giltstone family was in the forest, which was like a magnificent pce with golden walls. It was lit brightly, the whole forest was full of the aura of nobility. When Vivianna stepped in, a little figure rushed over. The next second, the little guy hugged her waist and addressed her sweetly, "Mommy, Mommy, you''re back!" Vivianna lowered her body and held him in her arms. Her cherry-red lips kissed his little face. Seeing the mother and the son bonding from the stairs of the second floor, Augustine had an unreadable expression. He stared at the woman who just came back withplicated feelings. He never thought that he would''ve slept with a married woman. After he came back from his bonding trip with Zeph, he read the documents again. It turned out that on the night when he slept with her, she wasn''t divorced yet. The divorce happened a weekter. That made him wonder if her divorce had anything to do with him. "Zeph, go to y with your toys on the second floor. Your mommy and I have something to talk about." Augustine''s voice was low, his eyes stared deeply at the woman who was looking at him. Vivianna raised her head and gazed at the man who was so handsome that he seemed like he was something out of aic book. She frowned and thought, ''Is he going to talk to about the custody of Zeph again?'' "Mommy, daddy bought me many toys today! There''re robots, radio-controlled nes and tanks that I like!" Zeph said excitedly. Vivianna merely showed him a sullen face. Zeph quickly shut his mouth and looked at her with innocent eyes. He puffed out his cheeks and muttered, "I did not buy it. Daddy bought it for me. Mommy, please don''t be angry!" Vivianna raised her head and red at the man who was walking toward her. "You shouldn''t spoil a child. You shouldn''t be buying whatever he wants. Even if you have money, it isn''t the right way to teach my son." Augustine raised his eyebrows, ''Why is this woman fussing with me?'' "Can''t I spoil my son?" Augustine retorted. "Our values of education must be consistent. Otherwise, my education throughout these years will be in vain." Vivianna huffed. Augustine bit his sexy thin lips and spoke to Zeph, "Go up and have fun! I will talk about your education with your mommy." "Daddy, mommy, you are not allowed to quarrel! Also, I will be very well-behaved!" Zeph spoke with concern as he was afraid that they would argue because of him. "Don''t worry. I''ll talk with your mommy nicely. We won''t quarrel." "Daddy, you promised me that you would love mommy. You must give in." Zeph brought out his promise in an instant. Augustine''s captivating face became stiff. It was supposed to stay between them. He didn''t really want to let that woman know. Vivianna''s ears were sharp. Was that so? He actually promised his son that he would love her? That man was so shameless. How long had he known her? He had already threatened her several times and even threatened to sue her. Was that his way of loving her? After Zeph went upstairs, Augustine looked at Vivianna with a tense face, "I''ve promised my son to treat you well, but the precondition is that you must listen to me and not provoke me." She taunted, "Who needs your love? I don''t need men''s love." Her words made the man''s face darken a couple of shades. He jeered, "Of course, seeing how you had been married and still sleeping around. You''re living a carefree life." Vivianna looked at him with eyes widely open, "You investigated me?" "Is Xenophilius Lambert your ex-husband?" Augustine squinted and asked. Xenophilius was thest person Vivianna wanted to mention. As soon as Augustine mentioned him, she felt disgusted. She gritted her teeth, "What if he is? What if he isn''t? It has nothing to do with you!" Augustine frowned and mocked, "Really? Then why did you divorce him a week after you slept with me? Did it really have nothing to do with me?" Vivianna''s heart skipped a beat. He even found out that? Did that man intend to find out all of her painful past? "Don''t worry. You have nothing to do with the divorce between Xenophilius and I." Vivianna gritted her teeth and retorted. Augustine stared at her withplicated eyes. He didn''t believe her words, but it didn''t matter. He sneered sarcastically, "Did you have an affair before your marriage and was caught by your ex- husband? Is that why you left with nothing and even gave away Lambert Enterprise''s 15% shares under your father''s name to Xenophilius?" Vivianna was about to go crazy. That man really found out everything about her past. D*mn it, it in fact had something to do with him, but she didn''t want to talk about it. She turned her face away, "I don''t want to talk about me. Please don''t investigate me anymore." Augustine narrowed his eyes and felt upset. At the same time, he also felt a strong sense of dreary. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. A lot of things happened between her and Xenophilius during their marriage. Perhaps, if those things really had nothing to do with him, why would the Lambert family drive her out? Did she really have several affairs, not just with him? Augustine''s mind was churning. Augustine''s eyes became sharp, showing anger. His tone was as cold as ice, "Vivianna Carlewood, I am warning you, now that my son is born, you''d better keep your private life simple." Vivianna was tense beforeing out of her trance. Her pretty face flushed red. She said back angrily, "It''s you who has a messy life." "I don''t want my son to have a mother who doesn''t behave. That would affect his life." The cold and mocking tone once again came from Augustine. Vivianna''s pretty face was so red, she was about to go crazy. What right did that man have to judge her? Even if she didn''t reflect on her actions, it was none of his business. "My life means I get to make my own decisions. You have no rights to intervene." Vivianna didn''t want to refute, so she had to say so. Although her chest was very stuffy that she couldn''t breathe. In an instant, the man was furious. She had seeded in pissing Augustine off. "Try hooking up with other men if you dare." A warning voice boomed. She was so frightened that she hastily took a few steps back. Looking at the man who had gone mad for no reason, she didn''t want entertain him anymore. She scoffed, "I don''t want to talk to you, I''m going to see my son." Looking at the woman walking upstairs, Augustine pulled the button on his shirt fiercely. His whole body was ming hot and ufortable. He was enraged. When he realized why he got angry, he was a little shocked. D*mn it, why was he be easily irritated after meeting that woman? Chapter 45 Chapter 45 In the toy room on the second floor. Zeph was testing a small helicopter. When he saw Vivianna, he grinned, "Mommy, look at my helicopter." She studied the gigantic room full of expensive mechanical toys. She was speechless, ''That man was pampering the son!'' "Mommy, daddy promised me to make me a huge park with toys behind the yard." Zeph brought up exciting news again. Vivianna was even more speechless. She squatted down and looked at Zeph, "Son, even if your daddy is rich, you shouldn''t ask for everything. You should treasure what you have, you can''t have whatever you want." "Mommy, I know. I won''t do it in the future." Zeph obviously realized that he was wrong. "Okay, since he already bought it, go and y! Mommy will be here." Vivianna caressed his little head andforted him. Perhaps men pampered their children in a different way. Vivianna was apanying her son on the second floor, but when she thought of what Augustine had said, she felt furious for no reason. How could that man say that to her? She did not even hook up. Even if she were to hook up with someone, what did it have to do with him? Half an hourter, the butler went upstairs to ask them to have dinner together. Vivianna took her son downstairs to wash their hands. Augustine was already sitting at the golden dining table. He looked at the woman, who was holding her son''s hand, with aplicated expression. "Daddy." Zeph called out sweetly and sat beside him. Augustine stretched out his hand and stroked his little head affectionately, his eyes soft and oozing with a father''s love. Vivianna sat down and handed Zeph a bowl of rice to let him eat by himself. Zeph had developed a good habit of eating since he was young. He held a spoon in his chubby little hand and ate it with relish. Vivianna didn''t have any appetite, so she kept her head down and ate silently. While Augustine was eating elegantly, he nced at Vivianna and Zeph from time to time. It was inevitable for Vivianna to meet his eyes. She stared at him with a trace of resentment, while Augustine looked away expressionlessly as if he didn''t see. After dinner, Vivianna was going to take Zeph to bath. He sweated a lot in the afternoon so he was smelling. However, Zeph wanted his father''s help. Augustine looked at the angry woman smugly and took his son upstairs. She sighed and sat on the sofa. A servant served her a te of fruits and drink. "Miss Carlewood, please have some fruits." "Thank you." Vivianna replied politely. Other than Augustine, everyone in the castle was very polite to her. In the bathroom, Zeph was ying with water and singing. He was as happy as ark. Augustine took the shower gel and put it on Zeph. He then asked in a natural tone, "Zeph, when you were abroad, did your mommy have an uncle by her side?" The little fellow blinked and guessed the meaning of Dad''s question immediately. He giggled and said, "Daddy, are you saying that when we were abroad, did any uncle court mommy?" Augustine was slightly stunned. He underestimated Zeph. He replied, "Was there any?" "Yes! It''s just that mommy didn''t like those uncles." "Those? So there were more than one?" Augustine''s face gloomed. Sure enough, that woman was very attractive. Zeph had no idea his answer would affect his mommy. "Are you sure your mommy wasn''t seeing those uncles?" Augustine tried to get more information about Vivianna from his son. Zeph tilted her head and thought for a moment. Since he was still young, his memory was limited. He shook his little head and continued, "I''m not sure either. Daddy, you''d better go and ask Mommy." Augustine ended the topic and started to talk about building an amusement park. However, in his heart, his impression of Vivianna became worse. Vivianna was innocent, she was framed by her son. She was sitting on the sofa downstairs eating fruits. She couldn''t help but think about the incident of bumping into Xenophilius that day. He had the audacity to ask her if she was well! When she was driven out with nothing, why didn''t he think about how she was going to live? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She only hoped that she would never run into that scumbag again in the future. In the elevator, a little boy who was scrubbed pristine clean ran out and shrieked, "Mommy, do I smell nice?" Vivianna hugged and sniffed him. She said, "Yes, you smell good." Augustine stepped out and looked at her gloomily, as if she had done something wrong to him. Vivianna held her son in her arms and stared at him. Despite sharing the same features, her son looked handsome and charming whereas that man simply looked cold. "Mommy, we have to sleep with daddy tonight!" Zeph said. Vivianna instinctively resisted. She gave a bright smile and tried to persuade him, "Zeph, mommy is exhausted and want to sleep alone today. You can sleep with your father!" "No, no! I want to sleep with Mommy. You slept in another roomst night. I didn''t see you when I woke up in the morning!" Zeph pouted grumpily. "Ugh! The bed was too small for three person. Mommy can''t sleep well." Vivianna replied hastily. She felt a mocking gaze from the wine bar. The little guy pleaded pitifully, "Then... can mommy sleep with me? You can leave when I fall asleep. I want to sleep with daddy and mommy. Please, mommy, please." Vivianna couldn''t refuse her son''s request so she nodded her head, "Okay, mommy will sleep with you." She uttered to Zeph, "Stay here for a while. Mommy is gong to take a bath." "Okay!" Zeph nodded. Vivianna looked at the man who was busy mixing a drink with two bottles of wine. Knowing that he would look after Zeph, she went upstairs to the room where she slept on the previous night to take a bath. Augustine took a sip of his mixed drink. Upon tasting it, he realised the taste felt rather off, it must be because he had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Zeph and Vivianna. He took two sips before disposing of the wine. He watched Zeph jumping on the sofa alone, so he stepped forward and lifted him into his arms, "Let''s go, daddy will y with you." "Daddy, are you going to take a bath too?" "Yes." He nodded. They went to the room together. Vivianna had note yet so Augustine handed his son a storybook. He then went into the bathroom to take a bath. After taking a shower in the guest room, Vivianna put on a conservative pajamas with short sleeves and knee-length shorts. The cotton fabric was veryfortable. She stayed in the room until 9:30 p.m., only then she walked to the master bedroom. She was thinking if Augustine had brought her son upstairs. She did not knock on the door and entered. However, the scene in front of her was somewhat eye-smothering. Augustine was only wearing an inner-wear while doing push-ups on the bed. His son was riding on his back giggling. Seeing his mommy entering, Zeph became more excited, "Daddy, I still want to y. I still want to y." Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Vivianna looked at the bed. The man''s body was well-sculpted and broad. As he was doing push- ups, she could see the bulging veins on his arms. He exuded the masculine strength of a male. What was even more abominable was that he was only wearing an underwear, it was even a tight- fitting one? Augustine didn''t stop. Zeph was riding on his waist while he was doing push-ups effortlessly. Zeph was so busyughing he was drooling. "I... I''ll be back in a minute." Vivianna''s eyes avoided the man''s body, she felt lost. Augustine took his son into his arms and chuckled, "Well, next time we will y again. Now, just lie down and sleep." "Daddy, are you going to sleep too?" "Yes!" "Mommy,e here. We''re going to bed!" Zeph hollered. Augustineid on his arms and fell asleep. In the wide bed, his lean physique showed an attractive arc in the quilt. Vivianna swallowed her saliva. When she thought of the man''s body under the nket wearing only underwear, her heart went on a wild gallop. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Vivianna bit her lip and walked toward the bed. As she nced at Augustine''s sleeping posture, his arms on his back, she identally met his eyes. Augustine looked at the pajamas that she was wearing. The milky white colour made her fair skin stand out. Her ck hair lying on her back. No matter how conservative her pajamas was, a sexy appearance was more than enough to make a mann unsettled. Augustine couldn''t help but feel a little upset. How many men had fantasized over that woman? The more he thought about it, the more his eyes was mocking. Even the wrinkles on his face had creased. Zeph had been waiting for his mommy to bed, so he didn''t notice that Augustine''s face had clouded. Vivianna didn''t bother looking at Augustine. Shey down next to her son and pulled him into her arms. She tried to stay as far away as possible from Augustine so that his legs couldn''t reach her under the nket. Zeph was so excited that he didn''t take a nap in the afternoon. He snuggled up in her mommy''s hug while Vivianna patted him gently on the back of his head. He blinked his big eyes, showing a tired face. Augustine turned sideways. He propped up one side of his head with one hand while staring at Vivianna with his usual attractive look. Vivianna was startled. However, Zeph was about to sleep so she couldn''t say anything. She could only let Augustine shamelessly looked at her as he pleased. Augustine''s eyes gradually smothered. Looking at how she gently was coaxing their son, as well as the nervous fleeting nces, Augustine was intrigued. He felt an inexplicable sense of aplishment as he managed to put her in such a state that she didn''t know how to react. Vivianna was a little annoyed and angry. Why was he staring at her when he should be sleeping? Was there a flower on her face or something? However, as Zeph was asleep, she couldn''t make any noise. What if she woke him up? When Augustine supported half of his body with his hand, the slippery nket was slipping down to his waist. His sturdy upper body was exposed and his firm muscles could be seen, as if he was trying to allure someone. No matter how hard Vivianna tried, she couldn''t avoid looking at his muscr body. She felt her face burning, even her eyshes were twitching furiously. Hence, she shut her eyes. She felt that the bed was shaking slightly. She slightly opened her eyes and saw Augustine getting out of bed. Where was he going? Vivianna thought, ''Was he going to sleep in another room?'' If so, she could sleep with her son. However, she found that Augustine walking toward her. "You may fall down if you sleep like this. You should get inside." A low and hoarse male voice. She thought that he was going to another room to sleep. Instead, he came over to let her sleep closer so that she would not fall down in the middle of the night. At that time, Zeph turned and rolled over to the middle of the bed. Vivianna got into the nket instantly. There was still a space for a person to lie on. Vivianna thought he was going to leave. However, much to her surprise, Augustine lifted the nket andy beside her. Vivianna''s body tensed. She held her breath and shouted in a whisper, "What are you doing?" Augustine hadid down, with his firm chest sticking closely to her back. His breath brushed over her ear gently with the crisp fragrance of an after-shower emanating from his body. God! Vivianna was going crazy. She was sandwiched tightly between Augustine and Zeph. She couldn''t even move her body. Suddenly, a domineeringly strong arm grabbed her and she was instantly trapped in the man''s chest. Vivianna only sensed danger. In the limited space, she tried to turn around to warn him not to do anything funny. Zeph seemed to feel packed in like sardines so he turned again, moving himself further away. Even if Vivianna had the opportunity to turn her body, Augustine was holding too tight. "You..." Vivianna opened her mouth. She wanted to ask Augustine what he was doing. The man''s eyes gleamed maliciously, his sexy thin lips kissed her red lips, not giving her any chance to speak. Vivianna''s slender body shuddered fiercely in his arms, her brain wentpletely nk with a "buzz..." sound. She instinctively put her hands on his chest, she tried to push him harder... The man aggressively sucked on her petite lips, prying her neatly squishy teeth. Instantly, she was conquered. Vivianna was going crazy. She used all her strength to push Augustine away. Rather than letting go, he tightened his arms around her and kissed her harder... What was worse, with him hugging her tightly, their bodies were snugged so intimate to each other there was no room left for anything else. Both of them were wearing little clothes, any reactions from either side would trigger a dangerous reaction. Vivianna was about to go insane. That man was aplete b*stard. How dare he ravished her so frivolously in front of her son? Even so, the man pressed his body on hers forcefully, iming ownership. Vivianna''s eyes were closed. It was hard to tell if she was enjoying or sizzling with anger. There was already ayer of sweat on her smooth forehead. Even the tip of her nose was lined with sweat. However, she was not made of stone. How could she not have any response under the attack of that man? Although her brain was saying, "No, no. Don''t do it, don''t do it.", her body instinctively surrendered. Subconsciously, the man''s arm softened. Although she didn''t take the initiative to hug the man, she was no longer resisting him as much as earlier. At that moment, Vivianna felt all her energy was leaving her body. She was trembling under the man''s body, looking like a fragile little beast being bullied. She couldn''t even resist. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Although Augustine had thoroughly bullied her, he did not do across the line. When he let go of her, she was feeling dizzy as if she was in a state of unconsciousness. Augustine let go and tucked her under the nket. He took a bathrobe and put it on and went out. Vivianna only returned to senses after a long moment. When she thought of what that man had done to her, she was angry and annoyed. She was furious because he acted like a godd*mn b*stard but she was annoyed because she was feeling something too. D*mn it, she was almost crazy. Vivianna bit her rouge lips. Although that man had left, the hot breath had been circling around her, eliciting a fiery burn on her body. Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Her heart was still pounding as if it was out of control. She got out of bed, closed and locked the door. She didn''t want to be bullied by that man in the middle of the night again. Augustine did note back that night. He went into another room. In order to be able to sleep that night, he had to put out the excitement pumping in his body. Early in the morning. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Vivianna was in a daze when she saw a pair of beautiful big eyes. It turned out that Zeph had woken up. He was smiling at her with his chin propped up. "Zeph, you''re up." Vivianna sat up and rubbed his little head. "Mommy, where is daddy? Where has daddy been?" Zeph asked curiously. Vivianna blushed as she thought of what happened on the previous night but she answered her son calmly, "I don''t know." "Why didn''t you sleep on the bedst night and why didn''t daddy sleep on the bed today? Did you quarrel?" Zeph questioned sensitively. "No!" Viviannaughed. It was really hard for her to smile. "Oh! Mommy, get up. Let''s have breakfast. Dad said he would take me to hispany today!" "What are you going to do in hispany?" She was confused. "Daddy''spany is gigantic and domineering. I want to y there." Zeph fancied all powerful things, which meant that he had Augustine''s gantry. Vivianna was a little speechless so she touched his head and spoke, "Okay! You go ahead! Mommy has some work to do." "Mommy, don''t worry. I''ll listen to daddy." Vivianna and Zeph brushed their teeth, washed their faces and then went downstairs. Vivianna picked a printed shirt and a high-waist skirt from the closet in the guest room. Her figure was pin- point perfect, everything would look good on her. When they went downstairs, Augustine was reading newspaper on the sofa. Vivianna was holding her son''s hand and ring at the man with fiery anger in her eyes. She hadn''t settled the matter with him on the previous night! When the man noticed her anger, he raised his eyebrows and smiled devilishly. "Daddy, where did you gost night?" "Daddy suddenly realized that there was some work needed to be done, so I went to work." Augustine chuckled. "Oh! Daddy, let''s have breakfast! After we have finished eating, let''s go out together. You can take mommy to work." "I... I don''t need to be sent off." Vivianna didn''t want to stay with him. He had already given her trauma on the previous night. "Are you sure? I''m not going to borrow you any car today." "I will call the taxi!" Vivianna didn''t want to be threatened by him. "There are security guards at the entrance, you won''t be able to get any taxi here without my permission." She stared at him and was instantly speechless. It would be exhausting if she walked as she would need to walk for half an hour in high heels. "Mommy, take daddy''s car!" Even Zeph looked worried. "Zeph, can you eat your breakfast first? I have something to talk to your father." Vivianna bent down and said to Zeph. Zeph frowned and pouted reluctantly, "Daddy, mommy, why do you whisper so much every day? Can''t you say it in front of me?" "Whispered?" Vivianna''s face was stunned slightly. "I''m having a romantic talk with your mommy. You don''t understand." Augustine raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "Romantic talk?" Vivianna sneered. "It''s more like threatening me." "Really? When are daddy and mommy going to give me a baby sister?" Zeph questioned excitedly. He wanted a sister so badly. A faint red flushed colored Vivianna''s cheeks. She replied, "It isn''t going to happen, I am not going to." "Son, have your breakfast. I''ll talk to your mommy about having a younger sister." Augustine sent Zeph away. If he went on like that, Zeph would be crazy! "Okay! Don''t forget!" After saying that, Zeph ran towards the dining area. Vivianna took a deep breath and gestured at the dignified man, "Come with me to the garden. I need to talk to you." Augustine was curious about what she wanted to say. He stood up and followed her to the garden. To ensure his son wouldn''t overhear, Vivianna deliberately walked further away. When she turned around, she did not know that the man was so close to her that she almost fell into his arms. She hastily took three steps back for safety measures. "Augustine, if you want us to live here, three rules." Vivianna raised her head and straightened her neck. Augustine raised his sharp eyebrows and replied in a low and sexy voice, "What are the three rules?" She gnashed her teeth and announced, "First of all, things likest night can''t happen again. From now on, you are not allowed to have physical contact with me. Secondly, I will persuade my son to sleep in a separate room. He will decide whether to sleep with you or me. I won''t interfere. Thirdly, I don''t want to have any rtionship with you." "Any rtionship? Having a son doesn''t mean anything?" Augustine pretended to be puzzled and asked with a gentle smile. Seeing that he wasn''t listening carefully at all, Vivianna flushed red with anger. "Okay, I''ll take my son back to my house today. Don''t ever think of seeing him again." "We can only meet in court then." Augustine murmured in a deep voice with a hint of defiance. "Up to you. Even if you forcefully take my son away, without me, my son will not want to live with you." Vivianna was very confident. Augustine''s eyebrows tightened, "You mean that you''re taking your son home to sleep tonight?" "Yes!" Vivianna said firmly. "Well! Come and pick him up after work!" Augustine stated with a clear voice, "I''m hungry. I''m going to have breakfast." Vivianna looked at his charming figure under the sun in utter shock. Wasn''t that man very concerned about his son? Why was he willing to let her take him away all of a sudden? Vivianna couldn''t figure it out. In other words, her three rules weren''t useful at all. Deal! She would take her son home so she wouldn''t have to deal with his attitude and he wouldn''t be able to take advantage of her. Thinking of that, Vivianna returned to the dining area to have breakfast. Even the food tasted more delicious. She nced at the man in front of her secretly. However, he was also looking at her while chewing his food gracefully. Two pairs of eyes collided in the air. Nevertheless, it was Vivianna who lost her guts and lowered her head first. Why? Even Augustine''s eyes were bigger, Vivianna didn''t think her eyes were small either! Why did she give in first? After breakfast, Augustine drove a low-key ck sports car, which was obviously still very pricy. The engine sounded like a roaring beast, wild and dominating, just like the owner. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Zeph swiftly sat at the back of the sports car. It was just enough to fit in his small body, leaving Vivianna to sit in the passenger seat. Zeph was excited, "Yeah, let''s go!" The way Augustine drove was very gentleman and alluring. He had stable yet elegant control. Vivianna subconsciously nced at him a few times, with her heart thumping wildly. The scene of being kissed by him on the previous night popped out on her mind involuntarily, which made her turn her face to the window. She didn''t want him to catch the bewitched look in her eyes. Augustine''s car stopped at the gate of herpany. It was working hours. Many of the employees went to work by taxi. How Augustine parked his car at the gate looked just like a gangster''s barbaric way, which attracted a lot of sights. When Vivianna got off the car, there were various gawking eyes from her colleagues, causing her pretty face to heat up. She quickly took her bag and rushed in. She even forgot to say goodbye to Zeph. Augustine took Zeph to hispany. That whole zone was a new city area. It had just been for less than three years. Lambert Enterprise also upied a piece ofnd in that area. However, if we were referring to the extent of being majestic and magnificent, nobody could overpower the Giltstone Enterprise. That day, Xenophilius Lambert was driving to work with Jessamyn Sway beside. She wore a luxurious dress, which looked elegant yet sexy. Along the whole journey, Xenophilius was surprisingly quiet. That made Jessamyn feel a little strange, "Xenophilius, what''s wrong? What happened?" Xenophilius was looking ahead, seemingly considering if he should talk it out. "Jessamyn, I''ll talk to you about itter. I hope you won''t be angry." "Tell me, there''s no way I would be angry!" Jessamyn looked at him sweetly. Xenophilius pulled over to the side and turned to face Jessamyn. "I met Vivianna at a restaurant yesterday." Jessamyn''s eyes widened. She pretended to be surprised, "Vivianna Carlewood? Why was she there?" "I''m sure it''s her. She''s back." Xenophilius nodded solemnly. "What does it have to do with us if she came back?" Jessamyn asked nonchntly. Xenophilius fell into silence for a moment before continuing, "Back in those days, I obtained the position of President because of the 15% of the shares I got from her father. Because of that 15% she''d contributed, I was able to bring up the middlesized enterprise to the own a market value of nearly 30 billion dors today." Jessamyn sensed a hint of guilt in his voice, her face sank, "Xenophilius, what do you mean? Are you nning to return that 15% of shares to her?" Xenophilius''s face changed slightly. He shook his head and spoke, "The 15% of stock are no longer as worthy as much as it was. However, I''d like to give her somepensation." "Xenophilius, do you think she will forgive us for what we did? Even if you did give her, she may not want it. Why would you do so?" Jessamyn persuaded. She, of course, knew that Vivianna had returned, she also knew where she was! Even so, she didn''t expect that her husband to bump into Vivianna. Did she do that on purpose? Did she deliberately make her husband feel guilty for her? Did Viviannae back for revenge? A hint of viciousness shed across Jessamyn''s eyes. "But I could at least give her somepensation. For example, I could give her a sum of money that would spare her whole life." Xenophilius sighed. His mind was filled with the shocking appearance of Vivianna on the previous day. He didn''t expect that she would change so much in four years that he couldn''t recognise her. "No, if youpensate her, it would mean that we admit what we''d done. She deserved it anyway. We must hold onto the fact that she''d cheated. Xenophilius, don''t worry about her anymore, okay?" Jessamyn held his hand, her beautiful eyes were begging expectantly. "The problem is that I don''t even know where she is now." Xenophilius seemed to be frustrated about the fact that he didn''t ask for her number on the previous day. Jessamyn felt her heart froze. She scoffed, "It''s better if you don''t know. Save yourself some trouble. You should go to thepany! I''ll be shopping nearby." Jessamyn pushed the door open and got off the car. Xenophilius continued to drive forward. Jessamyn''s eyes fell on the office building not far away. It was where Vivianna''spany was located. She gritted her teeth and huffed with resentment, "Vivianna, I don''t care what you came back for. I won''t let you ruin my family." After that, Jessamyn called a taxi. She was going to meet that woman again. At that moment, Vivianna was starting to do the sketching of another design. She was serious and attentive to details when it came to work, so her products were very well praised and weed. However, there were rumors about her in thepany that day. Winslow bore the responsibility in updating her. After hearing that, Vivianna merely gave a wry smile. She didn''t care about those gossips. Meanwhile, in the Giltstone Enterprise, Zeph was following his father. Augustine had an early meeting and brought Zeph with him. Zeph sat next to him. All the seniors at presence were amazed as Zeph looked exactly like his father. Zeph didn''t throw a tantrum or whatsoever. He just looked at how his father handled hispany affairs expertly. His face was full of worship, ''Daddy is so amazing! I want to manage a bigpany like daddy.'' Zeph thought. Twenty minutester, Jessamyn stood in front of Viviannna''s office building. She walked in with an arrogant face. Everyone in thepany knew who she was so no one stopped her when she was barging in. Vivianna was drawing in the office. Winslow knocked on her door and came in, "Miss Carlewood, Mrs. Lambert is here." Vivianna frowned, ''What is Jessamyn here for? Did she want to change the design again?'' Linda, who had received the news, greeted Jessamyn. However, Jessamyn wasing for Vivianna. She said to Linda, "Ms. Carlewood will serve me. I''ll wait for her in the meeting room. Bring me a cup of coffee." After Jessamyn obtained the title as Mrs. Lambert, she had gotten more familiar in giving out orders. Just like how in that moment, even Linda, the manager, was treated like a maid. Vivianna came out of the office and looked at Jessamyn coolly, "Mrs. Lambert, is there anything else that you want to change?" "Let''s talk." Jessamyn looked at her with a sneer. "If it''s a personal matter, I have no time. If it''s something business-rted, I can tend to you." "Business." Jessamyn, of course, did not want to talk to her there. She strode toward the conference N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. room. Vivianna frowned and followed behind. When they arrived at the meeting room, the assistant brought two cups of coffee in, closed the door and left. Jessamyn crossed her arms and turned to warn Vivianna coldly, "Vivianna Carlewood, stay away from Xenophilius." Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Vivianna''s face fell slightly. She looked coldly at Jessamyn, who was warning her, and said, "Mrs. Lambert, what do you mean by that?" This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Jessamyn folded her arms and sneered, "What do I mean? Don''t you know that? Today, Xenophilius told me that he met you in the restaurant. Tell me, how did you meet him in such an enormous A city? Did you deliberately create an opportunity to get close to him?" After hearing that, Vivianna jeered, "Why should I create an opportunity to approach a man who''d abandoned me?" The anger on Jessamyn''s face did not diminish. She snapped sharply, "Why? Of course that is because Xenophilius is rich. You''re ying the martyr so that he would pity you. In doing so, you can get some benefits from him." "Mrs. Lambert, please mind your words. No matter how poor and broke I am, I will never ask for Xenophilius''s mercy and charity. If I really want it, I would take back the 15% of Lambert family''s shares from him." Vivianna sounded loud and clear. Upon hearing that, Jessamyn''s eyes widened, "You''re still thinking of iming that 15% of shares?" "Of course I am, it belonged to me originally. Back then, you guys plotted against me and took it away from me. Is there anything wrong with wanting back what''s mine?" Vivianna said frostily. Jessamyn sneered as if she had heard a joke, "Vivianna, the divorce agreement clearly stated that you were willing to give up the 15% shares and handed it over to Xenophilius. Now you want it back? In your dreams!" Although Vivianna felt ufortable as if her heart was stabbed by needles, she raised her head and replied wittingly, "We still have a long way to go. Who knows if I have such ability?" "So you didn''t n the meeting at the hotel on purpose?" Jessamyn narrowed her eyes and asked. Vivianna understood that Jessamyn wanted to get some sort of reassurance from her response, so she said icily, "If there''s nothing important, I''ll get back to work." Jessamyn noticed that she was being vague in her response, so she stopped her instantaneously, "Tell me clearly. Did you purposely meet Xenophilius in the restaurant?" "So what if I did? What if I did not? I''m free to do whatever I desire." Vivianna didn''t want her to have a good time. After that, she opened the door and left. Jessamyn was so enraged that she bit her red lip, looking broody. If she thought about it carefully, there was an answer in Vivianna''s words. However, Jessamyn did not dare to rx, because Xenophilius had started to showpassion for her. Vivianna was like a bomb that would explode at any time beside Xenophilius. Just like she did in the past, attcking Xenophilius at anytime. Jessamyn dared not to be careless. Moreover, there were some things that only Jessamyn knew. She thought that Xenophilius would love her for the rest of his life. However, what she''d realized during those four years was that Xenophilius did not love her as much as she thought. Jessamyn pushed the door open and walked out of the conference room. She didn''t want to pick on Vivianna anymore. She was going shopping to buy some new clothes. As long as she dressed herself up, Xenophilius would not look at other women. She wanted to touch up her makeup, so she went inside the washroom with her purse. She entered apartment and sat inside. At that time, several female staff members filed in and started chatting. "Have you heard? Designer Carlewood came to work by a sports car worth tens of millions of dors in the morning." "I knew! We''ve already guessed who that person was." A girl who had just arrived asked puzzledly, "Who is it?" "That''s Augustine, the male owner of the majestic building across us. The president of Giltstone Enterprise!" "Do you think that she is dating Augustine? If they are, don''t you think that there''s no need for her to be working here?" "Women must be independent. Even if her boyfriend is the richest man in the world, it does not mean that she has to be an idling rich wife? I really admire Designer Carlewood." "She''s too powerful. She''s a mother of a child, but she managed to catch Augustine''s attention." Several girls were talking in the toilet. After a while, they left again. In one of thepartments, there was a shocked silhouette. Jessamyn sat on the toiler bowl in shock and disbelief. "What? Vivianna is a single mother? Augustine is courting her?" Jessamyn always got hold of the rich, how could she not know Augustine? It was said that that man was ruthless and decisive. Four years ago, he was only a young master of Giltstone family. There was rumours that there was an inner war on the inheritance of Giltstone family. In the end, Augustine won against his two uncles and steadily nabbed the position as the president of Giltstone Enterprise. In three years, his market value had reached the top worldwide. That man was actually courting Vivianna Carlewood? Jessamyn remembered at the entrance of the cafe the other day, she was picked up by a ten-million-dor car. She thought, ''Was that true?'' ''Wait, Vivianna had a child?'' Jessamyn got too much information in one go, making it hard for her to digest. ''Where did Vivianna get a child? How old was the child?'' Jessamyn came out of the bathroom. She thought that she would find out if she inquired the front desk. She put away her pride and walked to the front desk. The front deskdy greeted her right away, thinking that she was about to leave. She noticed Jessamyn smiling curiously at her, "I heard that Vivianna is a single mother. Is that true? She does not look like a mother!" "Yes! It''s true. Ms. Carlewood is only 24 years old, but she has a three years old child." The receptionist was a busybody. Furthermore, Jessamyn was a noble woman, she felt honored to be able to talk to her. There''s no reason not to go all out on that. A sh of surprise shot across Jessamyn''s eyes. The kid was already three years old? Where did Vivianna get a three-year-old child? "A boy or a girl!" "It''s a handsome little boy. The child is very beautiful! He''s the most handsome and the most good- looking child I''ve ever seen." When Jessamyn heard that, she couldn''t take in anymore. She sneered, turned her head and left. Aftering out of thepany, Jessamyn jeered, ''Did Vivianna get pregnant by a man after she went abroad three years ago? I must tell Xenophilius about that and let him know how filthy Vivianna was.'' At noon, Vivianna was busy designing a new order when her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. She picked it up and greeted, "Hello!" "Mommy, it''s me!" Zeph''s voice came from the other end of the line. Vivianna frowned, "Zeph, whose phone is this?" "It''s daddy''s!" Zeph said naturally. Chapter 50 Chapter 50 "Are you having fun?" Vivianna asked Zeph. "Yes! I joined a meeting with daddy. Daddy is amazing." "Good. Mommy will pick you up in the afternoon. Shall we go home today?" N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. "Yes, okay!" Zeph agreed without hesitating. Vivianna was a little confused. At that time, she heard Zeph asking, "Mommy, do you have time to have lunch together? Daddy wants to treat you to a meal." Vivianna''s heart was beating faster. She replied hurriedly, "No, thanks. I still have work to do. You can have lunch with your father!" "Oh! Alright!" Zeph was obviously a little disappointed, but Vivianna hung up the phone. In the building opposite of the pyramid-shaped building, Zeph was holding the phone looking at the tall man beside her, "Daddy, mommy said that she was busy so she can''t eat with us." There was a slight trace of displeasure in the man''s dark eyes, yet he still wore a gentle and charming smile in front of Zeph, "Daddy will bring you out for a big feast then." Zeph''s eyes lit up in an instant when he heard the word "big feast". Vivianna had a simple meal in the cafeteria at noon. After she''d finished eating, she went back to work until around five o''clock in the evening. She wanted to pick up her son, so she was discussing with Linda about following her carter. Linda''s son was abroad. She lived alone and enjoyed hanging out with Vivianna. When Vivianna went out, she dialed the number her son had used earlier. "Hello." A sexy male voice came from the other end. "Augustine, I''m here to pick up my son. Can your assistant bring him down?" Vivianna asked calmly. "Are you sure you are going to sleep at your ce?" The man said charmingly. "Yes. I''m sure. My son will also sleep at my house from today onwards." Vivianna raised her voice on the phone. "Okay! I''ll ask someone to send him down." He hung up after he''d finished speaking. Vivianna looked at the phone and was a little puzzled. Didn''t that man make an oath that he''d steal Zeph from her? Why did he seem like he didn''t care whether his son lived with him? Did he not love his son anymore? As soon as that idea popped out on her mind, Vivianna felt angry. If he did not love her son, why did he show up and had that paternity test done in the first ce? If he ever made her son sad, she would never forgive him. Linda parked in front of the gate of Giltstone Enterprise, while Vivianna waited at the door. A few minutester, a small silhouette was running out excitedly from inside, "Mommy, Mommy..." Vivianna reached out to hold him up into her arms. She couldn''t help but kiss him on his little cheek a few times. Looking at her son''s beautiful face, Vivianna felt contented and was filled with affection. "Let''s go home." After saying that, Vivianna smiled at Yazlynn Yallop and said, "Thank you." "You''re wee. See you, Young Master Giltstone." Yazlynn waved at Zeph. "Goodbye, Auntie Yazlynn." Zeph waved his hand. Vivianna carried him down the steps and got into Linda''s car. Linda took Vivianna and Zeph home. At the gate of themunity, Vivianna nned to buy some food materials for dinner. She wanted to invite Linda over to have dinner with her but Linda had n. "Zeph, how about eating spaghetti for tonight?" "Okay! It''s my favourite." Zeph took her hand, bouncing enthusiastically. She took him to the supermarket to buy some materials. Not too many ingredients were needed for spaghetti. However, since Zeph looked so happy, she brought him around for a little longer. Vivianna was afraid that Zeph would be hungry, so she took him home. It was almost half past six when they got home. They took the elevator all the way to the floor where she stayed. She opened the door to let Zeph go in first. After entering, he stared at the watch on the pointer. He knew how to read the time now. "Zeph, stay in the living room and don''t run around. Mommy is going to make the spaghetti." "Okay! I''ll be good." Zeph promised while watching her went into the kitchen with a bag. He was staring at the ticking clock. A few minutester, he moved a stool inaudibly to the door and then stepped on it, peeking through the peephole. About five minutester, anky figure strode gracefully from the direction of the elevator. Zeph was overjoyed. As expected, his daddy arrived on time. He moved the small stool away and opened the door before his father knocked. Outside the door, Augustine''s broad figure stepped forward. When he saw Zeph, he was startled. He warned him in a low voice, "Zeph, don''t simply open the door in future." Zeph felt wronged and muttered, "I saw daddying so I opened the door." Augustine reached out his hand and ruffled his soft hair. He had misunderstood him. Augustine stepped in and gently locked the door. Thest time he came there he only got to pick up Zeph at the doorstep. Now, he looked into the small ce with two bedrooms and one living room. It was very clean. The woman''s sweet fragrance was fainting in the air. He smiled with contentment. Upon hearing some noises from the kitchen, he narrowed his eyes and hushed at Zeph whilst he strolled towards the kitchen. He squinted at the delicate figure who was washing the ingredients like a satan watching his prey. "Zeph, what are you doing!" Vivianna asked with concern when she didn''t hear any noise from her son in the living room. However, there was no reply from her son. Vivianna could not help but turn her head toward the living room. The scene left her totally bbergasted. Thenky figure was leaning against the door. "When... when did youe in?" Vivianna was so shocked that she was stuttering. "Just now." Ausgustine''s sexy thin lips opened slightly. At that time, Zeph came out and spoke with a smile, "Mommy, I told daddy that we will be having dinner at home tonight." Vivianna felt like she had been tricked. No wonder his son wanted to buy two portion of noodles. It turned out that he had been anticipating for that man''s arrival! Vivianna took a deep breath and said in a rtively calm tone, "I said I was taking my son home! Why did you follow all the way here?" Augustine held up Zeph and stared at her with a smile in the contours of his dark eyes, "From now on, I will be wherever my son is!" "But you clearly promised that I could take him home!" Vivianna felt Augustine was not trustworthy as he didn''t keep his promise. Augustine raised his sharp eyebrows and smiled wickedly, "You misunderstood what I meant. I said that you could take your son back to your house, but I''ll being over to stay with you." Vivianna couldn''t stop her face from burning, "You want to stay in my house?" "Yes, please count me in tonight." Augustine said nturally. "No, I will prepare your dinner but you''d better go back to your home to sleep!" There''s no way Vivianna would let him stay. Her house was tiny. Apart from the child''s bed, she only had one bed. If that man was going to stay, where would he sleep? She would never open the door to a dangerous person. Chapter 51 Chapter 51 "Mommy, please let daddy stay in our house!" Zeph begged for his daddy. "Zeph, our house is too small." Vivianna replied. "No! If you think it will be crowded with me in the middle, I''ll just sleep on my tiny bed tonight. You can sleep with Daddy." Zeph stated, thinking he was smart. Augustine kissed Zeph and praised him, "My son''s arrangement is reasonable." Vivianna was going crazy, "No." "Daddy, can we y with toys? Let''s not disturb mommy!" "Okay!" Augustine agreed brightly. In the kitchen, Vivianna''s gorgeous face was still hot. The thought of Augustine not caring about her son waspletely gone. However, she felt relieved. So long as Augustine cared about her son and giving him his fatherly love, she would endure that man''s presence. Other than crossing the line, she would actually allow him to bond with Zeph. After all, Zeph already knew that his father existed, so she had no reason to prevent them from meeting. Vivianna opened another bag of noodles and soaked them in the water. She nned to cook one more portion. In the hall, Augustine visited the small suite. The decoration was simple, but Vivianna had put in a lot of effort in decorating, which added some warmth to it. "Daddy, this is my room." Zeph pushed open the door to his room. A small toddler bed leaned against the wall with a carpet. There were his toys on the carpet. "Daddy, do you want to have a look at our photo albums? There are photos of me!" Zeph wanted his daddy to know more about his growth. Augustine wanted to make up for the time he wasn''t there for Zeph. He nodded and chuckled, "Yes, hurry and bring it to me." "Okay!" Zeph walked to Vivianna''s room and took out an album from Vivianna''s closet. Augustine took over the album. On the first page, there was a photo of Vivianna holding their newborn son. She was wearing a hospital gown with her eyes staying on the little guy in her arms, wrapped in a white towel. Augustine''s heart sank. Even through the cold hard photo, his heart melted at the sight of his little son who was so delicate. Moreover, there was Vivianna. Although she did not dress up elegantly and her messy hair was down, her face was covered with a layer of blinding light, looking so beautiful and captivating. "That was the time when I was born. Mommy said that she had a difficult time giving birth to me!" Zeph looked at her mommy with teary eyes. It really broke his heart. Augustine flipped through, those photos were his son''s after his birth. Some were him alone in the pictures, some were with Vivianna. Zeph in the photos was dressed up adorably. He was wearing an innocent smile. It was obvious that Vivanna had taken really good care of Zeph. Augustine''s heart could not help but soften. After looking through the photo album, he had a deeper understanding of Vivianna. At least, she was a responsible mother. Closing the photo album, Augustine reached out to ruffle Zeph''s hair, "Don''t worry. From now on, daddy will always be right by your side. I will never leave you." "Okay!" Zeph nodded and put his arms around his neck, giggling. The smell of spaghetti came from the kitchen. Vivianna brought a small bowl and two big bowls and divided the noodles into three portions. Zeph was the first to rush out after smelling the spaghetti. Augustine was beside him. He was looking at the woman who was by the table giving out the cutlery, in a floral blue apron and a loose T-shirt with her hair tied loosely behind her. Under the light, she exuded a kind of virtuous charisma. Vivianna nced at his son and then her eyes fell on the man who was heading toward her. He was too tall, his presence made the whole space seem cramped. "Time to eat." Vivianna greeted. She untied her apron and sat down at the table. Then she pushed the bowl with the biggest portion toward him. Although Augustine hadn''t eaten yet, the smell was enough to make his stomach growl. When he sat down, he noticed Vivianna holding Zeph''s bowl and blowing the spaghetti for him. She was very caring and considerate. "Mommy, I''ll blow it myself. You should eat! You must be hungry too." Zeph took over the bowl. Vivianna warned, "Okay. Be careful. Don''t burn your tongue." "Okay!" Zeph picked up the fork, churning it to make a ball of noodles. He puffed his cheeks and blowed the noodles before putting them into his mouth. Augustineughed silently and nced at his son proudly. Vivianna smiled. She raised her head and met the eyes of the man opposite her. The gentle smile in each other''s eyes remained. The sight of Augustine was quite sexy yet dangerous. Vivianna lowered her eyes in a hurry and did not dare to look straight at him. However, her face was burning like mad. Augustine looked at her calmly and smirked. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. It was her house, so why should she be afraid of him? She lifted her head up and red at him warningly. In doing so, Augustine''s smile widened charmingly. That womna was really interesting. Zeph kept blowing his noodles and did not notice the subtle change between his daddy and mommy. Augustine lowered his head to eat spaghetti. When he had the first bite, Vivianna nced at his expression secretly as if she was afraid that he, as a rich young master, would not like it. However, he did not dislike it at all. Instead, he took another bite. It was obvious that he liked it very much. Vivianna was starving. She lowered her head to eat, but she didn''t forget to check on Zeph''s progress from time to time. In the quiet room, three of them gave off a harmonious atmosphere. When they were done, Vivianna cleaned up the bowls and forks. It was already 8:30 p.m. She wiped her hands and came out, seeing Augustine was ying with her son on the sofa. Zeph looked up and said, "Mommy, I want to build a castle as beautiful as daddy''s." She smiled and said to him, "Go back to your room and y. I''ll have a chat with your father." Zeph noticed that her daddy and mommy were about to whisper again, so he carried his lego bucket and went into his room obediently. Seeing that her son had closed the door, she put her hands on her waist and looked into the man''s flickering eyes. There was an unfathomable emotion in his eyes. He was also looking at her as if he was deep in thought. "Augustine, you have had dinner. Aren''t you supposed to leave now? I don''t want to chase you away in front of my son." Vivianna said. Augustine raised his eyebrows, "Why should I be leaving? I''m staying over here tonight." "There''s no extra room for you." "I don''t mind sleeping in your room." Augustine replied calmly. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "But I don''t like it. I don''t like men sleeping on my bed." "I don''t care. I''m going to sleep in your bed tonight." Augustine was used to being aggressive, he was not one to give in. Vivianna''s pretty face turned livid. At that moment, it was not easy for her to kick him out. She bit her lip, "I will allow you to sleep in for a night. After tomorrow, you are not allowed toe to my house again." Shepromised. She was going to sleep on the sofa. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Zeph had a fix sleeping schedule. However, as he was too excited at Augustine''spany in the afternoon, he forgot to take his usual nap in the afternoon. Therefore, he was already exhausted after nine o''clock at night. After all, he was still young. He rubbed his eyes and came out to look for his mommy. Augustine had been sitting on the sofa ever since Vivianna allowed him to stay. She came out of the room and saw Zeph rubbing his eyes. She picked him up gently and sat on the sofa. She patted his back softly, coaxing him to sleep. Zephidfortably in the arms of his mommy, with his big eyes staring at his daddy next to them. A satisfied and blissful smile appeared on his tiny lips. After blinking his round and big eyes a couple times, his eyes drooped and he fell asleep. Vivianna carried her son for a while after he''d fallen asleep. After making sure that her son was sleeping soundly, she got up and took his son to the room. Augustine followed. Vivianna sat on the edge of the small bed and put Zeph down carefully and gently so that she would not wake him up. Her cheeks were sticking to Zeph''s chubby face, it was one of the ways to make him feel at ease. Under the tender touch of his mother, Zeph curled up in afortable position and fell asleep in an instant. Augustine bent down to look at his son, startling Vivianna. She looked up and their faces were so close to each other. Vivianna was so surprised that she held her breath. Under the light, the man''s eyes were deep like the sea. It would only take him a gaze to drown someone. Vivianna wanted to get up, but the man had one hand on the bed and another on the pole of his son''s bed. She was surrounded by him. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Excuse me." Vivianna mumbled. Her heartbeat was a little out of order. After that incident, she felt that Augustine was dangerous. Even if he didn''t do anything but merely looking at her, she would feel flustered and her mind would go nk. Augustine let go of his hand to let her up. Vivianna rushed past him and murmured in a small voice, "Don''t disturb your son." Augustine nodded his head and sat on the edge of Zeph''s bed. He stared at the little face that looked so simr to his, wanting to continue looking. After going through the photos that day, he knew that he had missed so much of the precious time. He wasn''t there during his son''s growth, so he would not miss any of it in the future. At the same time, he thought that he''d taken Zeph to thepany that day, Giltstone family would find out about the existence of the child sooner orter. Therefore, he had to be ready for Zeph to return to the Giltstone family. The Giltstone family wasplicated. Four years ago, he was drugged and manipted by his uncles. Originally, his uncles intended to ruin his reputation in front of his grandfather, but he managed to escape it. The fight for the inheritance of the Giltstone family had been on the roll since ten years ago. At that time, Master Giltstone already gave up on his three sons. Thus, he nned to cultivate Augustine as the sessor. As Augustine aged, he started to pose as a threat to his uncles who had the power. As a result, a lot of things happened around him, such as attempted murder, violence and danger and so on. He was forced to change from a steady young master to an iron-blooded warrior. He started not to care about family rtions, regardless of the rtionship with his uncle and secretly participated in the battle for inheritance under the secret help of his grandfather. Three years ago, he became the most qualified sessor in the eyes of his grandfather. He''d chased his two uncles and three brothers out of that gruesome battle. In the past three years, he was alone yet powerful. He had removed all his uncles'' supporters along with any unfaithful people. He gradually obtained 70% shares under the Giltstone Enterprise. With the exception of his grandfather, he became the person who was the most powerful in the Giltstone family. In the eyes of an outsider, it was said that Augustine did not admit anything and was ruthless. All kind ofbels had been attached to him. He ignored them but still gave warnings when things got too wild. Gradually, Augustine became a taboo in the media world. Nobody could cross the line to publish any news rted to him without his consent. If they did, their death would not be far away. He was indeed that kind of man. However, at that moment, only warmth and affection could be seen in his eyes while he sat in that small room, looking at the little child on the bed. He knew very well that having a son meant that there was a weakness in his life. During the Giltstone family''s conflict, he sent his parents and sister abroad in order to protect them. He was fighting alone. Since he had a son now, he had to do his best to protect his child. The house was too small, Vivianna was confused and had nowhere else to go to. She could only browse at the photoshoots on her iPad in hopes of finding some inspiration. Usually, she would get focused. However, that night, something else was on her mind so she couldn''t concentrate. In the end, she gave up reluctantly and picked up the earphones to watch a funny movie. Nevertheless, she couldn''t help but stealing gazes at her son''s bedroom door. She thought, ''What was Augustine doing in there?'' ''Was he looking at Zeph sleeping?'' Vivianna understood him. As a mother, she couldn''t even leave her son for two days. What was more, he didn''t know his son''s existence until he was almost three years old, he must have had a lot of regrets. With that man around, she couldn''t do anything. She put away all the personal belongings in her room and ced them in the cab. For example, the bra that she loved taking off whenever she got home as well as her underwear. "Since the bed was ready, let him sleep for a night today!" It''s only a night, there would be no next time in future. Having that in mind, Vivianna saw the bedroom door open and Augustine came out. She looked at his shirt and trousers. Vivianna thought, ''He did not have any pajamas!'' "Well... are you going to take a bath tonight? I don''t have any pajamas." Vivianna asked him. Augustine''s lips curved upwards. He answered in a low voice, "I like sleeping naked." "No, you''re not allowed to sleep on my bed naked." Vivianna stopped him without even thinking about it. She would never sleep on her bed if he was going to sleep naked on her bed. Augustine frowned and said unhappily, "It is my habit." "Since you have such a bad habit, it''s not toote for you to go home now. In short, you are not allowed to sleep naked here." Vivianna stated toughly. "What if I must sleep naked?" Augustine looked at her with amusement. He enjoyed seeing her being annoyed. Chapter 53 Chapter 53 That was because when Vivianna was angry, there was a kind of wilderness that lit up his desire to conquer her. "You..." As expected, Vivianna was speechless. She thought carefully and continued, "Please wait for a while, the supermarket downstairs is still open. They should have pajamas for men. I''ll buy it for you now, okay?" "No, I''m not going to wear it even if you buy. It''s a waste of money." Augustine raised his eyebrows and insisted. She scoffed, "You have to wear it after I buy it." After saying that, she took her bag and headed out. "The supermarket is just downstairs? In themunity?" Augustine raised his eyebrows and asked. He was worried about her safety as it was alreadyte at night. "It''s just downstairs. What''s wrong? Do you want to go there yourself? No, you should look after my son." After saying that, Vivianna opened the door and was about to leave. "Be careful." Augustine said. She closed the door and thought for a few seconds. ''Did he just ask me to be careful? I wasn''t mistaken, was I?'' Fortunately, the supermarket was in themunity as that was argemunity. A rtively large supermarket was quite convenient for the people in themunity. When Vivianna walked into the supermarket, she noticed that the ce was full of ordinary pajamas. There were no high-end pajamas. It was her first time buying men''s pajamas. When she was choosing, a sale person came over, "Miss, how tall is your husband?" She waved her hand immediately and exined with a burning face, "I am not buying for my husband." "Oh! How tall is he?" the salesperson asked. "About one meter... I guess he''s 1.83m!" Vivianna thought carefully. She felt that Augustine was extremely tall. Among the men, he was the kind of person who would stand out from the rest. "Then you should get this one in XXL, Miss! It should fit him." Vivianna felt the material and found it quitefortable. Moreover, it was grey and not too fancy. She nodded with the shirt in her hand, "OK! I''ll take this one." Vivianna went upstairs after she''d made payment. She was still thinking in her heart, "That man ate her food, spent her money and slept at her ce. He is already the richest man in the world. Isn''t it embarrassing?" Vivianna arrived at the door whileining. She opened the door with her key and noticed that Augustine was sitting on the sofa looking at her iPad. The first thought that came to Vivianna''s mind was whether if she had any sexual content on her iPad.. Augustine was smiling. Obviously, he was looking at something funny. She ced the pajamas in front of him and spoke, "Here, it is not bad. Take it and put it on!" Augustine raised his head and stared at her with a pair of beaming eyes, "Do you always watch such a low-level movie when you have nothing to do?" She looked at the screen. It turned out that he was actually watching the funny movie she''d just watched. She huffed, "If you don''t like it then don''t watch!" Augustine put the iPad aside and picked up the pajamas she bought to have a look. He had never worn such bad quality since he was a child. However, he would just wear it for that night! Seeing that she went out of her way to buy for him sote in the night. "Do you want to take a shower first?" Augustine raised his eyebrows and asked. There was only one bathroom in the house. He''d used it and it was so tiny that it was difficult for him to move. He was wondering if he should buy her a bigger house. Vivianna was only a designer in apany. It was good that she got a free condominium. How could she be so picky? "You should take a shower first!" Vivianna was thinking that that she would take a shower when he went into the room to sleep. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. "Where are you going to sleep tonight?" "You can sleep in my bed. I''ll sleep on the sofa." Vivianna answered swiftly. "Are you sure you are not going to sleep with me? You won''t suffer if you sleep with me." Augustine raised his eyebrows and smirked. Vivianna red at him grumpily, "Don''t even think about it. Hurry up and take a shower." Augustine picked up his pajamas and went into the bathroom. Vivianna sat on the sofa and looked as he went. Although Augustine said that the movie was boring, he''d still watched it for more than ten minutes! There was the sound of watering from the bathroom. Vivianna put on the earphones, in case she heard something that she shouldn''t have. About fifteen minutester, the door of the bathroom swung open and a figure came out hotly. Augustine was wearing the grey pajamas she''d bought. His shirt fit just nice, but his pants... were way shorter than it should have been. "He looked ridiculous... That didn''t fit." Vivianna raised her head slowly and looked at the man staring at her with a pair of furious eyes. She took off her earphones and asked in puzzlement, "What''s wrong?" "Is this the pajamas you bought?" Augustine pointed to the exposed part and queried. Vivianna gazed at him and almost burst outughing. She reached out to cover her mouth with her hands quickly, but her eyes were oozing with mirth. "How dare you''reughing!" Augustine felt extremely embarrassed. Vivianna was the first one who dared tough at him so obnoxiously. Vivianna bit her lip and tried to hold herughter. She asked guiltily, "How... how tall are you?" "1.88m." Augustine gnashed his teeth and grumbled. Vivianna looked at him with suspicion, "Are you? I thought you were 1.83 meters tall." The man''s face was livid. He grumbled, "Since you bought the wrong pajamas, you can''t me me." After saying that, he unbuttoned his pajamas with his slender fingers. Vivianna cried out anxiously, "Hey! What are you doing? Can''t you just put up with it? It''s just a night." "Throughout my life, there is no such word as ''put up with''. I always want the best." Augustine continued to unbutton the pyjamas and threw it on the piles of dirty clothes. Before Vivianna could react, he continued to take off the pair of trousers that would stay a trauma in his life. Vivianna thought he waspletely naked, she was so frightened that she covered her eyes and shouted, "Augustine, you are a pervert!" Augustine looked at her covering his eyes, "Don''t worry. You don''t have that luck to see my size." Vivianna was furious and shouted, "Don''t be too confident. Who wants to see yours?" "I am really confident." Augustine smirked with his arms crossed. She did not want to talk about that topic with him, so she quickly made a stopping gesture, "Stop, it is over. It''s my fault for buying the wrong pyjamas. You can sleep in my room tonight! Worsees to worst, I''ll just change the sheets tomorrow." That sentence annoyed him again for no reason. "How dare you dislike the bed that I have slept in?" As soon as she looked up, she saw a pair of eyes as dangerous as a beast''s. She thought, if she dared to say it again, he would definitely tear her apart. "I mean, I haven''t washed my bed for a while now and it''s very dirty. I''m going to wash it tomorrow." Vivianna exined. Even so, that exnation did not satisfy Augustine. Vivianna obviously despised him. Chapter 54 Chapter 54 "It''ste. Aren''t you sleepy?" Vivianna asked Augustine as she was sleepy. She wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep. Augustine jeered and went into her bedroom. Vivianna breathed a sigh of relief. That young master''s temper was really bad. Anyone who had to live with him would be exhausted to death. Vivianna couldn''t help thinking about what he had said to her sonst time. He only slept with one woman in his whole life? She really didn''t believe it! Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Vivianna put her pajamas on the balcony so that she could avoid entering the room. She went to the balcony to take her pajamas and headed to the bathroom for a shower. There was a man in her home so she felt rather ufortable. She took a quick shower and came out. Her pajamas was always simple in nature, so there was no need to avoid anything. Vivianna took a pillow and a tiny nket from Zeph''s room. She was sleepy, but after lying down, she couldn''t sleep. What she wanted to know was whether Augustine was still awake. She felt a little hot while thinking of the way he wouldy on her bed in just a pair of underwear. She''d better stop thinking. In the room, Augustine was lying on his arm. The soft bed exuded a woman''s fragrance, making it hard for him to fall asleep. Instead, he had too many wild thoughts in his mind. When he thought of the kiss he forced on herst time, he felt excited. He hadn''t even touched her, he was merely lying on the bed she had slept in but he could feel that his body was reacting. Moreover, it was not a small reaction. D*mn it, what kind of magic power did Vivianna have? Was it only because she gave birth to his son? It seemed that that reason was irrelevant. What attracted him was the charm Vivianna had. Augustine couldn''t sleep. He was thinking, ''Was Vivianna asleep?'' Thinking of that, he couldn''t help but get up and open the door. Hearing the door opening, Vivianna sat up and turned to look at the man who came out naked, "Hey, what are you doing out here?" "Can''t I drink some water?" After Augustine finished speaking, he looked at a very beautiful ss on the table. He picked it up and took it to the water dispenser. "Hey, that''s my ss." Vivianna shouted in a low voice in an instant. He was not allowed to use her ss. After hearing that, Augustine was determined to use the ss. He poured the water, turned his head and gulped it down right in front of her. Seeing his sexy Adam''s apple, Vivianna couldn''t help but swallow her saliva. ''Why did he have to be so attractive?'' "It seems like you are thirsty too. Do you want to drink as well?" Augustine raised his eyebrows and questioned. "No, I''m not thirsty." Vivianna didn''t want to take the bait. "Your mouth is not thirsty, but your body is. If you want me to quench your thirst, I can meet your needs." Augustine was trying to promote himself. Vivianna red at him sternly after he''d made that kind of indecent joke, "If you say this again, I will chase you out. Not every woman is as desperate for you as a horny wolf. I am not interested in men for the rest of my life." Augustine narrowed his eyes, "Is it because of your ex-husband?" "It''s none of your business." Vivianna said with a cold face. Augustine muttered coldly, "It''s none of my business, but you''d better not treat me like your b*stard ex-husband. He is nothingpared to me." His tone was arrogant and domineering. "All men are the same." Vivianna concluded. Augustine''s face clouded, "You shouldn''t have said that." Vivianna pulled the nket andid down, "If you don''t want to be judged, get back into the room quickly and don''t disturb me." As the nket was small, her long and white legs were not covered at all. They were very well exposed, looking gleaming and appealing. Augustine realized that he was thirsty again. That time, it was not the thirst in his mouth, but his body. "Are you trying to seduce me by dressing like that?" Augustine asked while curling his lips. Vivianna''s pajamas were knee-length and absolutely conservative. She couldn''t help but cover her legs with the nket when hearing what he said. That time, her chest was exposed. She wasn''t wearing a bra... From his height and distance, it was definitely the best angle to admire. She must be big busted even without wearing anything. Augustine was secretly ecstatic as if they had anything to do with him. "Hey! Where are you looking at? Go back to your room quickly or you''ll have to leave my house." Vivianna put her hands on her chest and stated fiercely. "If you continue to make noise, you will wake your son up." Augustine jeered and then walked back to his room. When Vivianna heard the sound of the door closing, she breathed a sigh of relief. Whenever facing that man, she felt like she was being in a war as all her energy would be used up. After lying down sideway, she felt exhausted. Even after closing her eyes, she still kept being aware of Augustine, afraid that he woulde out at any time. Atst, she couldn''t help but fall asleep. She fell asleep, but Augustine in the room couldn''t. He turned on a warm yellow softmp. Under the light, his handsome face was so perfectly sculpted he looked like he came out from an expert painting. He was the perfect masterpiece. Every expression he wore and every look he made was simply captivating. If a woman saw it, she would definitely be attracted. However, the woman outside turned a blind eye to his existence. If she was willing, he would absolutely fulfill every of her desire. Augustine still felt perplexed over the fact that Vivianna once had another man, which made him feel agonizing. Whenever he thought about it, he would feel agitated. It was as if his belongings had been touched by someone else. He was anxious and unhappy. It was already way past one o''clock in the morning without him noticing. However, Augustine was still wide awake, which made him even more irritated. He was like a restless lion. No, he had to find a way to sleep. There were still a fewrge meetings awaiting on the next day! ''What could make him fall asleep?'' Augustine narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. There was a way indeed. He pushed the door open and headed out. The heartless woman must be sleeping. Sure enough, she was already sleeping on the sofa. That made him unhappy. He was having an insomnia because of her yet she was sleeping like a pig- If Vivianna knew that the man described her as a pig, she must be so furious that she would die of anger. Augustine narrowed his eyes and stood next to the sofa. He carefully made sure that Vivianna had fallen asleep. Then, he put his hand through her underarm and circled his other arm around her knee. He lifted her up gently. Vivianna was fast asleep. Augustine''s arms were very strong. He gently held her up so that he wouldn''t wake her. When Augustine put her on the bed, Vivianna had some reaction. She thought that her son was disturbing her with his hands. She couldn''t help but stretch out her arms to the side and mumbled something, "Stop ying around, Zeph..." Zeph? Augustine was taken advantage by her. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Vivianna always had a way to irritate him. Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Just like that, Augustine was trapped in her arms. Heid down on his side and let her arms dangle around his neck. Vivianna''s sweet breath drifted into his nose, causing his eyes to darken. Augustine had just turned the air conditioner to a very low temperature, almost 20 degrees celcius. Therefore, the temperature in the room made the woman lying beside him frown. She instinctively curled up and cuddled deeper into the warmth of the man. Augustine took the nket beside him and wrapped them up. Their bodies were almost stuck together. Vivianna snuggled into his chest, sleeping like a child. Augustine lowered his head and looked at her sleeping face. Surprisingly, those beastly thoughts were suppressed by her sleeping face. He closed his eyes. After staying awake for so long, he finally managed to fall asleep. In the middle of the night, they had been changing several soul-stirring postures. Vivianna turned away from Augustine''s arms. When she changed in a bowlike posture, Augustine mimicked her and wrapped her petite body into him with his arms casually on her waist. They stayed in the same position until early in the morning. At about seven o''clock in the morning, Vivianna woke up. She wanted to make breakfast for her son. Before she woke up, she felt something pressing her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. "What on earth was on her chest?" She opened her sleepy eyes and lowered her head, only to find a big palm on her, and the big palm was right on her bare peaks. Vivianna''s head exploded. Only then did she realize that she was sleeping in her room. She turned her head and saw a handsome sleepy face. Augustine was leaning to one side, sound asleep. Vivianna blushed in an instant. She pushed his hand away rudely from her chest and then examined his body carefully. She wanted to find out if there was anything wrong. Augustine woke up by surprise. He was already awake the moment when she held his hand. He opened his eyes and looked at Vivianna''s heaving chest along with her startled expression. It was very amusing for him and the corner of his mouth curled upward. "Good morning." His deep and hoarse voice was charming. Vivianna red at him and got out of bed hurriedly. She stood by the bed and red at him fiercely, "When did you carry me to bed? Did... did you do anything to mest night?" After that, her face and ears turned red. Augustine ced his handsome face on the palm of his hand. He squinted his eyes and smiled flirtatiously, "What do you want me to do to you?" Vivianna was so furious that she grabbed the pillow and threw it at him, "B*stard..." Augustine caught the pillow without any effort and ced it down. He replied with a serious face, "Can''t you feel it yourself?" Vivianna''s face was as red as a tomato. She frowned and checked her body carefully. Augustine hummed, "If I really did that to you, you wouldn''t have been able to get out of bed for three days." Vivianna was so enraged that she was about to explode. Augustine was so irritating. However, she remembered the time when she slept with him four years ago. She felt extremely sore, but now she did not feel anything. She bit her lips and said, "You are not allowed to stay here tonight." After that, she went to wash up in the bathroom. She was going to make breakfast for Zeph. On the bed, Augustine breathed a sigh of relief. He was still very sleepy. He closed his eyes and continued to breathe in the residual fragrance of Vivianna''s. Zeph also got up. He had just woken up so he looked blurred and couldn''t stop blinking his huge eyes. He put on his tiny slippers and went out. Hearing the sounding from the kitchen, his felt warmed immediately. "Mommy..." Although Vivianna was still raging early in the morning, when she saw her son, her smile was as gentle as spring, "Zeph, good morning." "Hey, where''s daddy?" "He''s still in the room." "Mommy, did you really sleep with daddyst night?" Zeph asked curiously. What could Vivianna say? She did sleep with himst night. Although they did not do anything, she still thought that Augustine had taken advantage of her. She pursed her lips, "Go and find your father." "Okay!" Zeph left cheerfully. Vivianna breathed a sigh of relief and continued to make breakfast for three of them. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Zeph pushed open the door of the room and found his daddy on the bed. He climbed onto the bed happily. Augustine stretched out his arm and held Zeph into his arms. Zephid beside Augustine quietly and looked at his handsome face, "Daddy, did you sleep wellst night?" "No!" Augustine replied. "Why didn''t you sleep well?" "Because daddy is not used to this bed." "What does that mean?" "It means daddy can''t sleep in a bed that is not mine. So, Zeph, can you go back to the castle with daddy tonight?" Zeph felt sorry for his daddy! He nodded and said, "Well, I''ll ask mommy to go back with me." Augustine reached out his hand and ruffled Zeph''s little head. He chuckled in a low voice, "Okay!" When breakfast was ready, Augustine got up and went into the bathroom. There were two toothbrushes, one for adults and one for children. There was another new one. He picked up the one for adults and used it. After Vivianna had finished setting up for breakfast, she asked Zeph to sit down. Then, she saw that Augustine had put on the clothes he was wearing on the previous night. There was no wrinkle on high-ended clothes. The white silk and ck suit made him look like a Prince Charming. He was so d*mn attractive. Vivianna suppressed the slight fluctuation in her heart. No matter how handsome and outstanding Augustine was, he was still an a*shole. She thought it over and over. It must be Augustine who''d secretly carried her into the room on the previous night. She didn''t sleepwalk. As she was asleep when he carried her to bed, she didn''t know if he''d sabotaged her. She had to stay away from such a dangerous man. Breakfast was served with milk, poached eggs and scallion noodles. The three of them ate scrumptiously. "Zeph, I''ll register a school for you. School''s starting soon." Vivianna told Zeph. Augustine listened and frowned, "Where are you sending him to?" "It''s a bilingual kindergarten in ourmunity!" Vivianna replied casually. "No, my son must receive the best education." "He is only three years old." Vivianna frowned as he shouldn''t ask too much from a three-year-old. We should just let him enjoy and have fun. However, Augustine replied firmly, "He is my son, I must be the one to decide on his education." Chapter 56 Chapter 56 "Well, which school do you n to send him to?" Vivianna looked at him with her arms crossed. Augustine replied, "Royal noble international school." In that city, there was such a school with superior quality and strict protection, especially with a toplevel security protection system. It''s just that it was expensive, even an ordinary wealthy family couldn''t afford it. "How much is one semester?" Vivianna frowned. She had to pay for her son''s tuition. "I heard from my friendst time that it''s not much. It''s just more than one million dors for one semester." Vivianna almost choked on her saliva. She widened her eyes and looked at Augustine. Her tongue knotted, "More... More than one million dors, so expensive?" "Is it expensive? For me, the safety of my son is the most important. I don''t care about the money." Augustine raised his eyebrows, "Follow me into the room. I have something to talk to you." Zeph was listening. Noticing that his daddy and mommy were about to whisper again, he spoke, "I''ll go back to my room! You can talk here." "Good boy, go ahead!" Augustine smiled and stroked Zeph''s lovely little head. After Zeph had entered and closed the door, Augustine nced at Vivianna with a serious expression, "My family background is quiteplicated. Zeph is my son, which means that there will be some sort of danger around him. Therefore, he can''t go to an ordinary school. He must go to a first-ss school with top-notch security protection." Vivianna blinked. As an ordinary person, she really did not consider that kind of things. "So, my son must go to a noble school? But I... I don''t have enough money." Vivianna was a little helpless. "I''ll take care of the safety and education of my son. Also, the safety measures in your room is too lousy. You should move out." Augustine spoke with a serious look. Vivianna raised her eyebrows and asked, "Move out? To where?" "There are a couple of apartments near yourpany. I will buy one for you and you can live there with Zeph." "How much does it cost?" Vivianna bit her lip. She didn''t want him to pay for the house. She was able to pay for it as she had some savings in her ount. "Two hundred square meters, maybe around ten millions of dors!" Augustine said. Vivianna was once again defeated by money. Ten millions of dors for one apartment? She didn''t even have enough for deposit. "Do I really have to move?" She was also concerned about Zeph''s safety. "You must. If you don''t want, then you should stay in my house to be safe." Augustine narrowed his eyes. He was very relieved to see that Vivianna was nervous about Zeph''s safety. "I don''t want to move to your house. If you buy an apartment, I''ll pay you rental every month. How much will you charge? I''ll pay you." Vivianna didn''t want to have any economic dispute with him. When Augustine heard that she was deliberately trying to draw a clear line, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay! 10,000 dors a month." Vivianna was bedazzled. 10,000 dor a month? How could she afford it? Her sry was not enough for the rental. "Well... I..." Vivianna felt that it was necessary to make it clear that she had no money. "Forget it, just stay there. Anyway, I bought it for my son!" Augustine interrupted her and got up. "I''m going to thepanyter. If you want to go, you can go with me." Vivianna remembered that rumours were spreading all around in thepany when he gave her a lift. She waved her hand and declined, "Uh! No, I''ll take my colleague''s car." Augustine subconsciously frowned, "A man or a woman?" "A woman. What''s wrong?" Vivianna asked. "Nothing! My son and I will go back to the castle in the evening." "No." "Are you sure you want your son to live in the house that''s not safe at all?" After being scared, Vivianna''s mind was full of scenes from police movies. She swallowed and replied, "Okay! Unless you promise me the three rules, I''m not going." Augustine had forgotten her three conditions. He jeered, "I only promised that I will not touch you if you don''t want to." Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. Vivianna asked suspiciously, "Really? You aren''t lying, are you?" Augustine stood up, his broad body was full of oppression, his deep eyes fixed on her, "Unless you take the initiative to climb into my bed, then I will not be polite." "Don''t worry, that will never happen." Vivianna guaranteed. "I don''t believe you." Augustine scoffed as if he was the victim. Vivianna looked at him speechlessly. Augustine then held Zeph in his arms and left. Vivianna called Linda while Linda was about to go out. They were going to meet at the garage. In arge vi of luxuriousmunity not far away from the city center, Jessamyn Sway was enjoying a delicious breakfast. Thenky figure of Xenophilius came down from the second floor, he was about to go to thepany. Jessamyn smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him, "Hubby, go after having breakfast." "No, I''m rushing. I''ll eat at thepany." Xenophilius finished his sentence and pushed her away. Jessamyn looked at his back in disappointment. She followed him out, "Xenophilius, I''ll meet you at thepanyter. Let''s have lunch together!" "We''ll see, I may have to meet my clients." After Xenophilius finished his words, he turned his head andforted her with a smile, "Well, let''s have dinner together!" Jessamyn stepped forward and put her arms around his neck. She kissed him on the cheek, "Xenophilius, you haven''t said that you love me!" "I love you, Wifey." Xenophilius responded with a smile. "I love you, Hubby." Jessamyn giggled happily and kissed his lips. She then let go of him and walked him to his car. Watching Xenophilius left, Jessamyn breathed a sigh of relief and her face became a little lost. They had loved each other very much and had been lingering together every day since they married two years ago. However, as thepany grew bigger, Xenophilius was spending more time in the company. As a result, they were spending less time together. Like now, she had prepared breakfast for him, but he would rather eat at thepany. Moreover, most of the time he would have social activities untilte at night. Although she tried her best to maintain the rtionship, some feelings gradually faded away. Jessamyn bit her red lips and sensed a crisising. She must keep an eye on her husband to so that he wouldn''t be taken away by any woman. The first thing that came to her mind was Vivianna, who had came back out of nowhere. Jessamyn had to admit that Vivianna was no longer the innocent girl she was four years ago. Instead, she had be independent, capable, beautiful and oozing with the seductive aura that would attract every man. Q Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Jessamyn was surprised that she had a child. However, it wasn''t a bad news for Jessamyn. A single woman with a child would be less attractive, judging from a man''s perspective. However, could the rumours in Vivianna''spany be true? Augustine was seeing Vivianna? If it was true, Augustine had such a bad taste. Vivianna must have concealed her secrets too well. Augustine must have been bewitched by her appearance and didn''t know that she even had a child! Jessamyn was even captivated by Augustine. If Vivianna had the slightest chance to win him over, she wouldn''t have let it go. Jessamyn thought. However, it was quite the reverse. Augustine was the one who had been rejected. Jessamyn''s wedding anniversary was at the end of the month. She had handed over her design draft to a foreign diamondpany. Thepany had already stated that it would be sent back in ten days. She was determined to show off that diamond ring, which represented love, and publish it on the headlines of the newspapers. She wanted Vivianna to see how happy she was. Xenophilius drove his car to Lambert Enterprise. Xenophilius received a call from his assistant on the way, "Hello, President Lambert. I have checked all the hotels above three-stars in the city, but I didn''t find any news about Miss Carlewood." Xenophilius''s heart skipped a beat. Could it bethat she couldn''t even afford a above-average hotel? Because of thepassion Xenophilius had toward Vivianna, he subconsciously thought of her difficulty. His thinking changed in the blink of an eye. Last time, she was driving a ten-million-dor sports car. Could it be that she was living in another man''s home? When Xenophilius thought of that, his handsome face couldn''t help but tense. Vivianna was his ex- wife. Although he didn''t touch her, there was still a wedding. She swore to love him for a lifetime. But then, she broke her vow and was going out with another man. Such thought left him in sadness. In fact, Xenophilius was feeling remorseful. He should have owned her when they were married. At least, he wouldn''t have had regrets. "President Lambert, do you still want continue with the investigation?" "No." Xenophilius replied coldly. Hanging up the phone, he was thinking of the encounter with Vivianna in the hotel. She was dressed in a white shirt and a ck skirt, with her hair in a bun, looking attractive. Over the years, he had seen too many women with heavy makeup. He was sick of it. Hence, meeting a woman as pristine and clean as Vivianna felt like a breath of fresh air, he was captivated. Thinking about it, Xenophilius only felt more remorseful. However, he didn''t think that if not for his betrayal, Vivianna wouldn''t have be who she was. Augustine got into the elevator from the parking lot while carrying Zeph. A tall man was carrying a handsome little boy, they posed an adorable scene. Zeph was obedient. When he passed by the staff members, he would show a charming smile. That kind of smile wouldn''t be seen on the president, so it was straight-out ttery to be able to see the handsome mini-master smile so brightly. Augustine opened the door of his office and put Zeph on the sofa. He then asked him, "What would you like to eat? Go and find Auntie Yallop yourself." "I''m not hungry, Daddy. Go ahead and do what you need to do. Just give me your iPad." "Why do you want an iPad?" "I want to learn more words, I realized that there are still a lot of words I can''t read!" Zeph said with an eager expression. Augustine smiled and praised, "Great. That''s my son." Ausgutine handed an iPad to Zeph. Zeph quietly sat on the sofa with an earpiece and started reading. Augustine smiled. At that time, his phone rang. He picked it up and took a look. The name on it made him freeze and his face tensed. He picked it up and greeted, "Grandpa." "Augustine! Bring the child back and show me." On the other end, there was a deep and powerful old man''s voice, which carried a dignified tone. Augustine''s eyes darkened. It seemed that his grandfather had already found out about the child. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "Okay, I''ll take him back to meet youter." Augustine answered in a low voice. Master Giltstone stressed, "Only the child." That meant that he didn''t want to see his mother yet. Augustine answered, "Okay, I''ll only be bringing the child." After hanging up the phone, Augustine looked at Zeph on the sofa, who was staring at the iPad and recognising words. He sighed inaudibly and walked to him. Zeph took off his earpiece and looked up at his daddy. "Zeph, would you like to meet someer?" "Who?" Zeph blinked his eyes and asked curiously. Augustine gave a smile and replied, "Your great grandfather." "Great grandfather? Is he my grandfather?" Zeph didn''t know much about seniority. "No, he is your grandfather''s father, my grandfather." Augustine exined patiently. "Wow! Great-grandpa is very old, isn''t he?" "He''s almost 86." Zeph''s eyes widened. "Is great grandfather... an old man with white beard?" "You will like him. I think he will like you as well." Augustine had confidence that his grandfather would definitely like his lovely son. "Yes! I want to see my great-grandfather." At noon, Vivianna''s work was meticulous. As soon as she started working, she forgot everything and devoted herself to it wholeheartedly. When she finished a sketch of the design draft and nced at the time on the bottom right corner of theputer, she couldn''t help but meddle with her messy hair on her forehead. At 12 o''clock at noon, his son didn''t call, meaning that he must have had lunch with Augustine. However, she did not know that at that moment, her son was sitting in Augustine''s car, heading to the pce. The pce residence was located in a century-old house in the west. It was low-key with the majestic air of an emperor. Even the government had to bypass the possibility of obtaining nning permission in that area. They did not dare to step into that area. Many high-end vis were built around the vicinity instead. Augustine casually drove into the pce. The housekeeper in his sixties had already been there with two servants to wee them. When the door opened, Augustine stepped down. He was holding a small figure in his hand. When the butler saw the child, he was shocked. That was definitely the child of Giltstone family. He looked exactly the same as the young master when he was a child! "Young Master, this way please." The housekeeper made a gesture respectfully. Augustine was afraid that Zeph would be frightened, so he bent down and carried him in his arms. But Zeph was not afraid at all. He looked around eagerly, calmly resting in the strong arms of his father. Chapter 58 Chapter 58 In the living room, Master Giltstone was sitting on a rosewood armchair. He was wearing gold- rimmed reading sses and his beard was nicely trimmed. Even though he was 86 years old, he looked like he was in his early sixties as hisplexion was ruddy and shiny. The eyes behind his pair of sses revealed a kind of deterrent power that came with vigor and vitality. As he saw the two of them walking in, his eyes became as big as saucers. He supported his sses with his hands and carefully examined the little boy who was brought in by his grandson. Was that the child? "Grandpa." Augustine smiled gently and sat beside him. Augustine gently put Zeph down. Zeph raised his father-like face and looked at the Master Giltstone curiously. Augustine looked at his son''s fearless look and couldn''t helpughing in a low voice, "Zeph, say hi to your great grandfather." "Nice to meet you, Great-grandpa." The tender and clear voice was peaceful. Master Giltstone reached out his hand with excitement and pulled Zeph to his front. He held his sses with one hand and studied Zeph carefully. "He looks exactly like Augustine when he was a kid. He is definitely the child of the Giltstone family." Master Giltstone chuckled and looked at Augustine with a sullen face, "Augustine, how do you exin this? Why was the child of the Giltstone family dawdling outside?" Zeph blinked his eyes. He felt that his greatgrandfather was telling off his daddy. He couldn''t help saying, "Great-grandpa, please don''t scold daddy!" "I''m not scolding him. I''m ming him. How could he leave you outside?" Master Giltstone exined with a gentle face. Zeph was still young! English was an extensive and profoundnguage, it was difficult for him to understand what his great-grandpa was saying. He questioned with a confused face, "Why did great grandfather say that I was left outside? Greatgrandfather, I am not an object, how could I be left somewhere?" The serious atmosphere was instantly smouldered by Zeph. Even Master Gilstone burst into laughter, Augustine also smiled. Seeing that his great-grandfather and daddy wereughing, Zeph giggled. Then, he threw himself into Master Giltstone''s arms and raised his head to look at his white beard, "Great-grandpa, your beard is so long! Can I touch it?" Master Gilstone hadn''t held such a little child for a long time. He reached out and held him up. Augustine, who was beside him, couldn''t help but worry, "Grandpa, you shouldn''t carry him." "What? My Great-grandson, are you afraid that I can''t hold him?" After that, Master Gilstone looked at the little baby in his arms lovingly. He had doted on Augustine since he was a child. Therefore, his affection toward children passed on to his great-grandson. Augustine let him bond with Zeph. He had rxed a littlepared to when he was on his way. It seemed that Zeph had a way of captivating people and was loved by everyone. "Tell me, have you been well all these years? Have you been wronged?" Master Gilstone looked at his great-grandson and asked. Zeph blinked a few times and then nodded, "Mommy is very good to me." There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of Master Gilstone, ''Does this child like his mother that much?'' "Zeph, let the butler tour you around. I have to talk to your great grandfather." Zeph hopped down from Master Giltstone''s legs obediently. Master Giltstone looked at the lively kid, he liked him very much. Master Giltstone reached out to help him up as he was afraid that Zeph would fall. Zeph held the butler''s hand and went toward the garden. There was stern atmosphere in the quiet living room once again. Master Giltstone''s gaze fell on Augustine, "The mother was once married to someone else, wasn''t she? When you had a rtionship with her, was she divorced yet?" That look was full of reproach. Augustine didn''t expect that Grandpa had done an investigation Vivianna thoroughly. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "I was drugged when I met her at a hotel. That''s why we had Zeph." Augustine exined calmly. He believed that his grandfather knew who the person behind all of it. "How did you meet Zeph?" Master Giltstone was as curious as a cat. The world was so big, it was such a coincidence to meet his son. To be honest, Augustine initially thought that Zeph was deliberately schemed by Vivianna so that he would''ve met him. Maybe she''d remembered him since four years ago and wanted to bring the child closer to him to get benefits and wealth. But when they were getting along, that idea waspletely gone. He could only say it was fate. The little guy not only pulled his hair to let him do a DNA test, but also introduced his mummy to Augustine without fear or whatsoever. Augustine was scared. If he gave up on the DNA test, he would be separated from his son for the rest of his life. Fortunately, he made the right decision. Hearing that, Master Gilstone praised Zeph, "I didn''t expect that the child of Giltstone family to be so smart. He is only three years old yet is so intelligent." After that, he frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Does the child rely on this mother?" "Zeph is brought up by Vivianna. Of course, he relies on her." "If we send the child back to the pce to raise him, what would she think?" Master Giltstone asked calmly. Augustine certainly knew his grandfather''s n. That was also his n when he knew about the child''s existence. He wanted to bring the child back to Giltstone family and cut off the rtionship with Vivianna. But at that moment, he had changed a lot. He looked serious, "Grandpa, Zeph is still too young to live away from his mother. Can you wait for a couple years?" "It''ll be easier to separate them when he is still young. It will be more difficult when he grows up." Master Giltstone sighed, "Please tell the child''s mother that since she gave birth to a Giltstone kid, we will never treat her wrongly." Augustine couldn''t tell Grandpa that Vivianna did not want any money. He was afraid that his grandpa would do soemthing ruthless and mean, Vivianna might not be able to handle it. Augustine thought for a moment and begged, "Grandpa, please let Zeph and his mother live with me for a year. I want to divert his dependence on me. Then, it would be easier for him to return to the Giltstone family in the future. Although he is only three years old, he is more sensible and smarter than any other children. If he finds out that we cut off the rtionship between his mother and him, I am afraid that he will be traumatized and will hate us." Master Giltstone squinted for a moment and nodded to show that he agreed, "Alright, but there is one thing you have to remember, don''t be entangled with the child''s mother. After a year, give the child''s mother a sum of money to shut her out of his life. The custody of Zeph will not belong to the child''s mother!" Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Augustine gritted his teeth. Looking from Giltstone family''s perspective, his grandfather wasn''t being too over. However, from Vivianna''s point of view, it would be mean and heartless. "Augustine, you are now the Master of the Giltstone family. The future hostess of the Giltstone family must not be someone out of nowhere, especially a woman who was divorced. What''s worse, her ex-husband''s was from the Lambert family." When he heard the name, Lambert family, Master Giltstone gritted his teeth. "Grandpa, your feud with the Lambert Family was over half a century ago. Why are you still holding onto it?" Augustine persuaded his grandfather. Although he didn''t really know about his grandfather''s past, it seemed like his grandfather did not have a good impression of the Lambert Family. "Humph. I hate the Lambert family. Zeph''s mother was married to someone from the Lambert Family, so I don''t like her either. I know you are close to Zeph''s mother now. You''d better not cross the line." Master Giltstone warned stubbornly. Augustine''s face was calm, without any emotion. He nodded, "I will bear it in mind." "I like Zeph. He looks like a copy-version of you, like he''s a clone." When Master Giltstone mentioned Zeph, he looked gentle and kind. He didn''t look so stubborn. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. "But he has his mother''s eyes." Augustine retorted. Master Giltstone red at him. He took his crutch and stood up, "I''m going to see Zeph. Please go order the kitchen to prepare what Zeph likes to eat." "Grandpa, if you want to see him, ask the housekeeper to bring him here." Augustine got up and to help him. "No, it''s alright. I''ll go by myself." After saying that, Master Giltstone walked out in high spirits with his one hand on his back, and the other one on the crutch. Behind him, Augustine stepped into the kitchen and ordered some mild-voured dishes. After giving the order, he sat on the sofa. He fell into a deep thought. In the garden, Zeph found a beautiful Japanese dog, the pet of the Master Giltstone. Unexpectedly, the dog was humane and seemingly knew that Zeph was a member of the Giltstone family upon first sight. It not only followed Zeph but also yed with him on the grass. "So energetic. He is having so much fun with Shiba." Master Giltstone praised him. "Old Master, this child is really good-looking. He is going to be an excellent young master when he grows up!" The butler eximed. Master Giltstone felt sad, he certainly wouldn''t get to witness Zeph''s growth. However, he was pleased at the mere thought of having such a smart and adorable great-grandson. After lunch, Vivianna stood in front of the window in thepany with a cup of coffee in hand. She was looking at the towering building opposite, thinking that her son was there. She pursed her lips and smiled with a soft gleam in her eyes. She had considered Augustine''s suggestion. As a matter of fact, living in his castle would be the best for Zeph''s safety. They should leave the house as her son was more important than her life. How could she ignore the safety of her son solely because she hated Augustine? Having thought of that, Vivianna sat down in front of theputer, tapping the keyboard with her slender fingers trying to look into the Giltstone family. The information of the Giltstone family was pitifully scarce. After searching on the Inte, there were only two pages of information about the Giltstone family. Vivianna was bbergasted. She clicked into one of the information released about three or four years ago. On it was a brief description of the inheritance war of the Giltstone family. It only mentioned that there was going to be a sessor war within the Giltstone family and nothing more. Vivianna clicked onto another page. An estimated of Augustine''s worth was shown, it was indefinite. Vivianna opened the first few articles and then closed them in disappointment. It turned out that the Giltstone family had so much control over the news, which was somewhat in line with Augustine''s domineering character. At that time, Linda knocked on her door and came in happily, "Vivianna, I did you a favour." "What''s that?" "Haven''t you always been interested in Leonardo Freeman''s paintings? His painting is avable at the high-level art exhibition dinner in the city tonight. Coincidentally, I was invited but I didn''t have time, so I changed the name on invitation card to yours." Vivianna gazed at her surprisingly, "Why aren''t you going? It is a great opportunity." "I''ve been in the industry for 20 years. I''m no longer interested in that kind of banquet but it''d be good for you to attend more exhibitions." Vivianna was eager to go as she was too young and her designs were often limited. Therefore, she needed to expand the source of her inspiration. "Thanks so much, Linda." Vivianna held the invitation card and thanked her with enthusiasm. "You''re wee. You can have a great night for yourself after you''ve arranged a babysitter for your son!" Linda reminded her with a gentle smile. Vivianna took a nce at the invitation card, it was quite arge-scale exhibition. What was more, the works disyed were absolutely top-notch both domestically and internationally. Vivianna was looking forward to the event. She looked at the time. It was over three o''clock in the afternoon. She should call Augustine in advance and asked him to take care of her son tonight. If it waste, she would go straight back to her own house. She called Augustine on the phone. "Hello!" There was a deep and charming male. "Augustine, is Zeph with you?" Vivianna questioned. "Yes. What''s wrong?" Augustine obviously sounded a little bit nervous. Vivianna didn''t ask but begged in a pleading tone, "Can you keep Zephpany tonight? I have something personal to do, I might not be going to your house." "Personal matter? What''s it?" The man''s voice instantly became cold. "I''m attending an art exhibition dinner. It might endte, so I won''t be going back to your house. I''ll stay in my own house." She exined. The man was silent before he said, "Okay!" Vivianna was stunned as he hung up the phone right after he finished his sentence. Did Augustine agree? D*mn it, she hadn''t said a word to Zeph yet! How could he end the call? She put her phone away and was already missing her son. In the hall of the Giltstone family, Augustine dialed a number, "Help me find out where the art exhibition will be held. I want an invitation card." Soon, Yazlynn came back, "It will be held at six o''clock tonight in San Marco za. However, it is just a small social art dinner. It is not appropriate for you to attend. "When is it starting?" "It is starting at six o''clock." "Give me an invitation card and wait for me at the gate of the banquet at half past six in the evening." After giving the order, Augustine hung up the phone. Chapter 60 Chapter 60 A small shadow and a dog ran in from the outside. The boy and the dog pounced on Augustine. He held Zeph in his arms while Shiba leaped on the sofa by itself, nuzzling Augustine''s shoulder. Augustine stretched out his hand and patted Shiba. Looking at Zeph who was perspiring, he obviously had a great time. "Daddy, Shiba is so cute! I love Shiba." Shiba barked happily. At that time, the housekeeper outside the door came in with Master Giltstone. Shiba jumped off the sofa again to wee the Master Giltstone. "Zeph is extremely energetic. I am too old to keep up with him." Master Giltstone just realised that he was too old to take care of Zeph. "Zeph, would you like to have dinner with your greatgrandpa tonight? Daddy has something to do, I will pick you upter." Augustine discussed with his son. Zeph blinked his big eyes and nodded obediently. "Okay, daddy. You have to take mommy home with you, okay?" Augustine pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay!" Master Giltstone frowned as it seemed like the child was clingy to his mother. Master Giltstone took a nap while Augustine took Zeph to the yground nearby. Since that area was part of the noblemunity, he also brought his bodyguards along. He had a good time with Zeph. Zeph was only three years old. Looking at how he was ying the slide with some other kids, Zeph must have had so much energy. Vivianna had been busy in the office. When she looked up, it was already five o''clock in the evening. The banquet was going to start at six o''clock. She had to prepare for it so she walked to Linda''s office and knocked on the door, "Linda, can I get off work early?" "Are you heading there?" "Yes! I''ll go now." "Are you going to attend the banquet like this?" "Uh? Yeah!" "If you go like that, you would be mistakenly treated as a waiter! Let''s go. I know the owner of a boutique. We''ll rent a dress from there!" Linda stated kindly. Vivianna rarely participated in such activities so she didn''t know the dress code very well. When Linda came out, Vivianna hugged her and showed her a gentle smile, "Linda, you''re so amiable. How should I repay you?" "Give me the best design, that''s the best reward." Lindaughed and got out of thepany with her. The boutique that Linda mentioned was located in a shopping mall nearby. Although the store was not big, the gowns were chic and fabulous. It costed more than 1,000 dors for a night. However, Vivianna thought it was worth it as the dinner that night was important to her, it could not be measured by money. For someone who needed inspiration to make ends meet, even a tad bit of inspiration would be very precious. Who knew, that inspiration might cultivate a masterpiece. Linda chose a strapped royal blue gown for Vivianna. It was rare for Vivianna to wear such a revealing gown, so she was feeling a little embarrassed. However, she was also amazed when she put the gown on. "Wow! Miss, you have nice figure and your skin is really fair. Ordinary people can''t pull it off if their waists aren''t tiny enough." The female boss praised Vivianna. There was a V-cut in the chest, but it was not too revealing. Her concern was at the back of the gown, which was tied with a few thin ovepping ribbons, exposing her skin to the bottom of the corset belt. "Let the boss make a hairdo for youter, you should let your hair down tonight. I''m sure it will be perfect." Linda was envious, it was so good to be young! "Yes, we will also put on makeup for you. Since you are a frequent customer, we will give you extra service." The female owner was also a temperamental person. Vivianna agreed in an instant. The owner of the shop styled her long ck hair into wavy big curls with two strands of hair cascading down from her forehead. The elegant and sexy bangs perfectly outlined her oval face. After styling her hair and applying makeup, the female boss couldn''t help but genuinely praise her, "Miss, you are more gorgeous than the celebrities that I''ve ever seen!" That made Vivianna shy. She had never cared about her appearance in the past few years. She had been very contented being with her son. "Well, I''ll take you to the banquet. You can return the dress in three days. My friends will be sending you back." Linda said. Vivianna was so grateful that she shed tears of gratitude.N?velDrama.Org owns all content. About 5:50 p.m., Vivianna arrived at the banquet. In the eyes of Augustine, it was a small banquet, but for an ordinary people like Vivianna, it was a super luxurious and sumptuous banquet. After scanning the invitation card at the door, Vivianna slowly stepped into the magnificent hall. The hall was surrounded by golden glorious walls. She saw hundreds of works decorating the massive hall. Vivianna nced at the waiter''s clothes, which was a white shirt and ck trousers. Every female guest was wearing charming and elegant gowns, each with a ss of champagne in their hands. They were indulging in the paintings. She really had to thank Linda. If she came in her office attire, wouldn''t she be a waiter? "Miss, what would you like to drink?" A young waitress came forward and asked. "A ss of champagne will be great, thank you!" Vivianna pursed her lips and smiled. Holding a ss of champagne in her hand, Vivianna began indulging in a painting. That was rxing and enjoyable, she could also feel an endless inspiration from the painting. Vivianna was in front of a painting. She didn''t know that her figure had be a scenery in the eyes of the men at present. Some photographers pointed the camera at her and took pictures of her beautiful and elegant back. Naturally, even the young men wanted to seize the opportunity to get to know her. An exhibition was an artistic indulgence. For artists, beautiful things were meant to be indulged. Therefore, Vivianna''s beauty greatly attracted them. She was looking at a painting. A tall and handsome young man came over andmented on the painting that Vivianna was looking at, "The uniqueness of the painting lies in its smoothness and random strokes. It seems that the painter was an unrestrained person." Naturally, she offered her opinion, "It''s a painting of Leonardo Freeman from his earlier days. The artistic conception is very captivating." When Vivianna had osted him, he could not help but feel pleased, "It seems that your understanding of paintings is quite thorough." "It has something to do with my profession, so I pay more attention to it." Vivianna pursed her lips into a smile, which was as elegant as a swan. "Well, I don''t have much knowledge about it. Would you like for me to keep youpany?" The man wanted to get closer to her instantaneously. At that time, a man''s cold and deep voice came from behind, "She has got apanion." n Chapter 61 Chapter 61 That voice... Vivianna turned her head instantly. Augustine had been standing behind her with a gloomy face She widened her eyes and thought. ¡®Why is he here?¡¯ Obviously, the man didn''t know Augustine, but he was afraid of Augustine''s intimidating aura so he left with an embarrassed smile. Augustine narrowed his eyes and scoffed, "You''re good at attracting people''s attention!" Vivianna choked for no reason. She frowned and queried, "Where''s Zeph? Why aren''t you with him?" "Zeph is having dinner at my grandfather''s house. Don''t worry." Augustine answered calmly. She was stunned. His grandfather''s house? Did Zeph meet someone from the Giltstone family? "Then... What are you doing here?" Vivianna felt strange. That is such a big city, it couldn''t be a coincidence! "Do you think that you were the only one who was invited? Can''t I be invited?" Augustine didn''t want to tell her that he was there to see her, so that she wouldn''t be too proud Hearing his aggressive tone, Vivianna curled her lips and said, ¡°Oh!" Then, she ignored him and continued walking. Augustine''s eyes narrowed slightly, his displeasure surged. What was with that woman? Augustine took a ss of red wine from the waiter next to him and walked toward Vivianna. He was not interested in paintings but her.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. After taking off her working attire, the royal blue gown looked good on her. Although the gown wasn''t of high-ss, with an amazing body like hers, slender and white as snow, she looked like a gleaming porcin doll. She was enjoying the painting but was uneasy. Anyone would be uneasy when there was a pair of sharp eyes staring at them. She turned her head toward Augustine, ¡°Have you seen enough?" "Being so well dressed, did youe here to seduce men ?" Augustine couldn''t help but lecture her. She was speechless. She was dressed up to conform with the dress code. How could she be seducing men? However, she didn''t want to exin She raised her eyebrows and replied, "Yes! Do you have any problem!" Augustine''s handsome face swiftly clouded. He clenched his hand and held her slender arm. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Yes, it''s a big problem! As my son''s mother, you have to reflect on your private life. Otherwise, you''ll have to bear the consequences." She couldn''t help but feel shocked by that man¡¯s malicious look. Couldn''t he see that she was furious? She pulled out her arm hard and gnashed angrily, "I''m here to for art. Can you step disturbing me?" Augustine narrowed his eyes and stared at her coldly without saying anything. She nced at him and was ready to move to another aisle. As soon as she moved, Augustine followed her like he was an extended shadow. Vivianna stopped and turned her head to stare at him, "Do you have to follow me?" "You appreciate what you are interested in, and I appreciate whatever that intrigues me. Who is following you?" Augustine replied arrogantly. He was obviously following her! Vivianna didn''t want him to ruin such a marvellous exhibition so she calmed herself down and carried on. There was a spotlight on each painting. When Vivianna raised her little face to admire it, the light was reflecting on her face. It was as if her face had ayer of warmth, enchanting and alluring. Augustine''s prating gaze fell on her face. For a moment, he was stunned. He had seen myriads of beautiful women, but none of them captivated him. However, Vivianna seemed to have magical powers, making him unable to look away. Vivianna¡¯s Auge eyes were clear and sparklingtike atwinkling gem <= soakedin the water. She looked at the painting for a while and then nged at the man beside h¨¦r with a hint of disdain in her eyes> ¡®Content b¨¦longs to ~ Every time Augustine was looked down upon by her, his face became darker. ''Did that woman think I''m in her way?'' That was definitely the first time that ady rolled her eyes at Augustine ever since he was a child. That woman must be blind as she even dared to ignore him. Linda called a boy friend at home. It happened that her friend was also in the exhibition. Linda intended to ask him to send Vivianna back that night. She sent a photo of Vivianna to her friend and asked him to look for Vivianna so that he could arrange with her about the transportation. That man was an art fan, in his early thirties with the charm of a mature man.He had some sess on his small-scaled business. When he saw the photo sent by Linda, he was moved. He didn''t expect that he would have such an honor to send such a beautiful girl home. Hence, he began to look for Vivianna. There was a picture rting woman in the corridor. Therefore, the content was more revealing. Vivianna turned around and headed to the corridor. When she saw a western painting, she was shocked. They were naked Vivianna need at the man behind her and fount that he was still following¡¯ner. His eyes moved away from herand fell on the painting. Vivianna secretly jeered. Sure ? enowigh, that was the nature, ofa roa, ~ oS Augustine looked at her nkly. Then, his thin lips twitched, "Her body isn''t as good as yours." Vivianna''s heart tightened and thought, ''What the hell is this guy talking about?" "Yours are a little bit bigger." Augustine added. Vivianna was going crazy. A little bit bigger? Did he mean her bust was bigger? Couldn''t he appreciate the painting seriously?¡± At that moment, several audiences next to them clearly heard his words. They looked at Vivianna in surprise, her face was blushing. "I''m going to the bathroom." Vivianna didn''t want to stay with him. Augustine didnt follow. He coldly appreciatedthe painting in the corridor with his arms crossed. => Vivianna''s body always crossed his mind.Afterparing them <: secretly, he felt that Vivianna¡¯s: figure was perfect. swnovel. 4 When Vivianna walked out of the bathroom, Linda¡¯s friend, Zachary Ewing, happened to meet her. "You must be Viviana Carlewood. My name is Zachary Ewing. I''m Linda¡¯s friend." Zachary greeted her with a smile. Hearing that he was a friend of Linda, Vivianna certainly became enthusiastic. "Hello. Yes, I am Vivianna." "As expected, you live up to your name and are absolutely beautiful. Have you eaten? The buffet is quite delicious." ¡°Hmm! Not yet!" Vivianna told the truth. "Let''s eat together! Linda asked me to send you home tonight. We should get to know each other." Zachary continued politely. Vivianna looked up and did not see Augustine. She thought that since he was a friend of Linda, so she should not be rude. She nodded and replied, "Okay! I am a little hungry.¡± Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Vivianna and Zachary went to the dining hall while Augustine walked out of the corridor. Augustine was squinting at the direction to the bathroom and waiting for Vivianna toe out. Augustine held the red wine and leanedzily against the wall of the corridor. The spotlights fell on him, which made him look like a princeing out of aic. He was extremely charming. Most of the people whe participated in the exhibition were young girls. When they saw that man, they were so captivated that their hearts beat faster. Their faces and ears turned as red as tomatoes. They secretly doted on his charm After Augustine became the head of Giltstone family, almost all photos of the Giltstone family disappeared from the inte. Therefore, everyone knew Augustine and that he was a handsome and unrestrained man. However, his photos was rarely seen. He did not often have rumours like the rest of the rich as if they were afraid that others wouldn''t know them. He was mysterious and low profile "He''s so handsome! Oh my god! Where did such a good-looking mane from?" "I really want his number.¡± Two girls were whispering to each other excitedly when they passed by Augustine. Augustine started to feel irritated after being stared at for a few minutes. "Why was she taking so long in the bathroom?" Augustine continued to wait for a few minutes. In the end, he guessed that Vivianna might havee out. She must be avoiding him! D*mn it, that woman dared to avoid him? Vivianna seemed to have the ability to trigger his hot temper. Augustine began to look for Vivianna in the hall in swift and steady steps. He looked around but didn''t catch a sight of her. He looked at the corridor leading to the buffet section, narrowing his eyes and heading over. At the buffet, the lights gave off a soft and romantic atmosphere. Roses were on the table as a decoration, it looked like a dating ce for couples. Vivianna and Zachary each took a te and sat down by the window. After they had been eating for a while, Vivianna was obviously spacing out as she was wondering if Augustine was looking for her. Well, they didn''te together anyway. There was no need for her to take care of him! "Miss Carlewood, you must be capable at work." "I''m still a rookie in the workce. I can only say that I''m quite the average." Vivianna replied modestly. Zachary looked at her with a smile, "In the industry, there''s no such thing as a neer or a veteran. Sometimes, a newbie has the ability to break through. I believe that you''ll be outstanding.¡± She pursed her lips and chuckled gently, "Thank you for yourpliment." At the entrance, a handsome and charming figure was walking in. The man¡¯s fierce eyes swept over the restaurant and finally fell on the window seat, specifically on the woman who was eating with a man. What was worse, she was smiling like a blooming flower at the man in front of her. He had been searching for her for more than ten minutes yet she was talking and giggling with another man while enjoying a romantic dinner. She said that he would not seduce any man. However, she switched to another target right away. Vivianna raised her eyes, she saw a man walking towards her from the entrance. She was dumbfounded. ''Why is Augustine here?¡¯ When Augustine wasing over, Zachary also noticed the man who''d carried a dominating aura. Zachary was surprised and asked Vivianna, "Is he your friend?" ¡°Uhm...¡± Vivianna wanted to say something, but a cold male voice spoke for her. "She is the mother of my child." Zachary was shocked and looked at Vivianna in disbelief, "You have a child? Are you married?¡± "I''m sorry.¡± Vivianna apologised embarrassingly and then got up. As soon as she stood up, her arm was immediately locked in the forceful arm of Augustine and she was dragged to the exit. Vivianna''s wrist hurt. She couldn''t help but cry in a low voice, "Augustine, stop pinching me. let go.¡± Augustine noticed a balcony beside. The balcony was covered by a thick curtain. He thought for a moment and pulled her in. Vivianna''s back was stuck to the wall and Augustine let go of her. She rubbed her painful wrist and stared at the arrogant and unreasonable man "What the h¡¯ll are you doing?¡± "I am the one who''s supposed to ask that! You''re hooking up with another man in just a turn? Huh?" Augustine''s broad body pressed against the wallThis material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Vivianna opened her mouth to exim but Augustine warned her in a low voice by her ear, "Just scream! Scream as loud as you can and make a scene.¡± She swallowed with shock and her face turned red. She reached out and pushed him away. ¡°Augustine, don''t do anything stupid.¡± "If you want a man, I don''t mind being the one." Vivianna was so enraged that she reached out to push him, "What nonsense are you talking?¡± However, jmmthe next second, both of her handewere cuffed at the top.of her head: A dangerous and crise masculine breath drifted down, "m confident that I can please yOu better than any man."

However, when she opened her red lips slightly, the man''s lips fell on hers forcefully. Vivianna was Driginally pressed to the wall by him, There was no way for her toxavoid the kiss. She leaned her heackagainst the wall, and the hot ard r minty kiss of Augustine: came down on her with a strong sense of punishment. Content b¨¦longs to NovelDrama.Org <> Augustine did not close his eyes. He just narrowed his eyes that were as bottomless as a ck hole, as if he was going to swallow her entirely. Vivianna''s breathing was unsteady and her chest was heaving heavily. At the end of the kiss, Augustine stopped first. His expression was full of self-control and self-restraint. The woman was an alluring elf. Augustine finally let go of her and ordered, "Follow me to pick up your son." Vivianna leaned against the wall weakly. She wanted to scold him, but all her strength had been utterly taken away by him. She could only feel better if she continued to breathe. "I''ll wait for you at the door in ten minutes.¡± After Augustine had finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and stepped out. Vivianna was angry that she gnashed her teeth. Between her breaths, it was full of Augustine''s scent, causing her to wipe the corner of her mouth. Her brain felt dizzy. Augustine walked all the way out to the exit. Under the dim light, his handsome face was tense as if he was agonizing over something. The kiss had already aroused his lust. Unfortunately, there was no way to vent his desire, it was torturing for a man. Vivianna tidiechup herself and calmed hersatf on the balcony. She swore thatshe didn¡¯t want to be with Augustine anymore. However, she wanted to pick up her son as she didntwant her son to stay inthe pce any longer. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org 4 She took a few deep breaths. The exhibition waspletely ruined by Augustine. Looking at the time, it was already past eight o''clock. She came out with a calm face and saw Augustine smoking by the porch next to the corridor. The smoke entuated his attractive and perfect facial features, making him look even more dangerous. Augustine narrowed his eyes and stared at her gloomy expression. He put the cigarette on the cigarette snuffer next to him and took her to his car. Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Augustine drove a Rolls Royce which was spacious andfortable. Vivianna opened the door and sat in. She turned her small face to the window and treated the man next to her caldly. Augustine manoeuvred the steering wheel gracefully while recalling what happened. In fact, he was a little remorseful about he had done to her. However, apologising was not his forte, so he held back. The tension in the car was unbearable. Augustine had called the housekeeper ten minutes before he arrived at the Giltstone family''s pce. When he was talking on the phone, he slowed down the speed of his car. Finally, he said on the phone, "Okay!" He then hung up the phone right away. Vivianna turned to look at him with her big clear eyes, "What''s wrong?¡± "Zeph is exhausted. He had fallen asleep on my grandfather''s bed. My grandfather wants him to sleep there tonight.¡± When Vivianna heard that, she became anxious instantaneously and stated, "No." Augustine frowned and knew what she was worried about. He frowned and continued, "Just let him apany my grandfather for a night." "No, I''m going to get him.¡± Vivianna insisted. She didn''t want her son to be too close to the Giltstone family. "Vivianna, don''t forget that Zeph is a member of the Giltstone family as well. Sooner orter, he will return to the Giltstone family.¡± Augustine wanted her to understand the truth as soon as possible. That way, she could let go of him more easily in the future. When Vivianna heard that, she became anxious and cried in anger, ¡°Who said that? He is my son." Augustine was stunned. Although the light in the carriage was not bright, her tears was as clear as dewdrops. She stared at him with tears in her eyes, "I don''t care. I want to see my son. I want to see him right now." Augustine narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a few seconds. There was a trace of distress in his dark eyes that he did not realise. He sighed softly, picked up the phone called again. It was the housekeeper who picked up the phone, ¡°Hello, Master Giltstone, what''s the matter?" "I''m on the way to pick up Zeph, inform my grandfather." After Augustine had finished speaking. he hung up the phone Vivianna''s tears were still hanging at the corner of her eyes. there were several drops of crystal tears on her chin. Augustine reached his hand out to touch her chin tenderly and spoke softly, "Why do you cry more than your son?¡± That sentence made Vivianna turn her face a little, she didn''t want to answer. "Well. I will go get Zeph. Meanwhile, you should wait in the car." Augustineforted her. He was afraid of women''s tears, especially that woman. Just now, his heart plummeted into a mess. Vivianna wiped her tears and watched as the car slowly entered into a spacious iron gate. That house was not a high-level building but an old mansion with an ancient fragrance. Augustine parked the car by the door and stepped down. Augustine walked into the hall and greeted the housekeeper. He went upstairs and headed straight to the master bedroom. He saw Master Giltstone standing on the edge of the bed looking at the sleeping child. Augustine didn''t know what he was thinking. The sofa beside was full of toys for children. "Grandpa." Augustine came in and greeted him. Master Giltstone shushed him, "Don''t disturb Zeph.¡± "Grandpa, I came to pick him up. He will cry if he wakes up in the middle of the night and can''t find his mother." Augustine whispered "I don''t think so!" Of course, Master Giltstone was not willing to let his little great-grandson be taken away. Augustine nodded but lie, "He falls asleep just because he is exhausted now. If he wakes up and doesn''t see his mother, he will not stop crying.¡± Master Giltstone gazed at the dozing little guy andpromised, "All right! Take him back! Please bring him here often in future." ¡°Definitely.¡± Augustine answered and bent over to hold up Zeph. He woke up and rubbed his eyes gently. When he saw that it was his father, he sounded a little aggrieved, "Where is mommy?¡± "Mommy is waiting for you at home.¡± Augustineforted Master Giltstone sighed when Zeph was looking for his mother the moment he woke up. Zeph put his arms around Augustine''s neck, realizing that he had fallen asleep. No matter how sleepy he was, he would not close his eyes. "Say goodbye to your great-grandfather.¡± Augustine said. Zeph was out of energy. He gently waved his little hand and snuggled closer to his father. He blinked his eyes drowsily. Augustine held him in his arms and walked toward the car. Augustine opened the passenger''s door and put Zeph into Vivianna''s arms. When Zeph saw his mommy was there, he put his arms around her neck and his little face in her embrace instantly, "Mommy, Mommy... you are here." Vivianna held Qer son tightly and felt relieved. Shexkissed him without saying a word. As long as she kissed him, she¡éelt at ease. Zeph also = hugged his mother tightly. His little facewas i in her arms and he pursed hisctips. His big eyes were full of \SAging. Content belongs fo As soon as Augustine got in the car, he saw the mother and son next to him. He couldn''t help but envy his son, only Zeph could make Vivianna happy! Vivianna stroked Zeph''s head and said, "Good boy, go to sleep!¡± Zeph must have been woken up. Vivianna was afraid that he would be tired. Zephid in his mother''s arms and held her cheek with his tiny hands. His big eyes were blinking. No one could give him such a peace of mind and love. He only wanted his mommy. Augustine looked at the scene with dark eyes. Complicated thoughts was passing through his mind. Back in the castle, Augustine parked the car and wanted to hold Zeph for Vivianna because she had been holding him during the ride. He was afraid that she would be tired. "No, I can carry him.¡± He didn''t know that Vivianna didn''t want him to hold Zeph Augustine was stunned for a few seconds. ''ls this woman wary of me now?'' He turned aside, Zeph had already fallen asleepvn his mother''s arms. AlthoughVi Vivianna¡¯s arms werea little sore she insisted on carryingy her SOR Upstai rs. She even carri¨¦d her son into the guest room and did netearry him back to the master b¨¦troom. Augustine followed her and frowned. However, since she had cried, he didn¡¯t care about it anymore. On that night, Augustine did not fall asleep. He had been about Zeph and Vivianna, but there was one thing that he seemed to be sure about. In another roam, Vivianna did not fall asleep immetiiately either. She opened her eyes and looked at her-> son nextto her without blinking. 1 her heart, she was also determined thatyo matter what, she would not separate from her son.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Zeph lying on her chest, kissing her with his fluffy pink lips! Vivianna hugged him with a gentle smile, and Zeph''s kisses made her face damp.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. "Mommy, I love you so much!" Zeph chuckled and confessed. Then, he wrapped himself tightly around his mother and hugged her tightly. Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Vivianna smiled and held him in her arms. Thinking that''s a Saturday, she could finally have a good rest. She nned to stay with her son the whole day. She remembered there was a forest next to the vi, so she could take Zeph there for a walk. ¡°Brush your teeth! Mommy will keep youpany at home all day today." "Really?" "Yes, why don''t we go for a jog in the woodster?¡± "Okay!" Zeph was excited. When she was abroad, Vivianna used to take Zeph to jog in the park on her day off. After returning to her home country, she hadn''t not had much fun with her son. They went downstairs after getting changed. It was still quite early, Vivianna took Zeph into the forest to get some fresh air. It was a small hill not far away from the city centre. It had been protected primitively well. That mountain must have belonged to Augustine as well. As no one would dare climb the mountain. It was clean and the air was fresh. It was definitely a good ce to exercise in the morning Vivianna was with Zeph. The pleasure was something that people wouldn''t understand. It was the bond of a mother and son. Zeph¡¯s dependence on his mother and love toward his mother was iparable. After Augustine got up, he went to knock on Vivianna''s door but no one answered. He opened it straight away. As soon as he opened the door, Vivianna and Zeph were not inside. His heart sank and he became nervous. Could it be that Vivianna had left with his son? Augustine went downstairs and saw his housekeeper, Damian, he asked, "Uncle Damian, where is Vivianna and Zeph?¡± ¡°Oh! Young master, don''t worry. Miss Carlewood took the young master to the woods." Augustine breathed a sigh of relief. He was wearing a grey T-shirt and leisure pants. He put on his shoes and strode out of the castle. He looked around and intuitively turned left. He strode over with his slender legs and chased after Vivianna and Zeph. Vivianna and Zeph weren''t walking fast, so he managed to catch up in a short while. "Daddy! Daddy is here!" Zeph saw Augustine first. As soon as Vivianna turned, she saw a tall man walking down the mountain. She was slightly startled. ¡®Why is he here?¡¯ Augustine looked at the blushing little guy with a gentle smile and questioned, "Are you tired from climbing the mountain?" "No, I''m not!" "Good! Come on, let''s continue." After Augustine had finished speaking, he raised his eyes and met Vivianna¡¯s eyes. Vivianna frowned. Why did he interrupt her bonding session with Zeph? Augustine took Zeph¡¯s hand and went ahead. Vivianna followed. Zeph kept looking back while they walked, "Mommy,e on!" Vivianna understood Zeph''s love for Augustine. Even though Augustine only met Zeph not long ago, they had a strong connection. It was because since Zeph knew that other people had a father, he had been fantasizing about having one. He had been eager to get all the love. That was also because Vivianna didn''t stop the rtionship between her son and Augustine. As a mother, she couldn''t be selfish. She had to provide him a healthy growing environment. Vivianna was walking in distrait. She did not know that there was adder in front of her. She miscalcted and misstepped. She fell out of bnce and fell on one knee toward the cemented ground. "Ouch..." Vivianna couldn''t help but let out a low cry. Then, Vivianna''s knees buckled andnded on a sharp surface. She was only wearing shorts and sportswear and her snowy-white knees were gradually taunted with bruises and blood. "Mommy..." Zeph rushed down from the top. Augustine also came down. Vivianna was in so much pain that she sat on the stone. Both of her knees were injured. Zeph''s eyes turned red and he cried, "Mommy, is it hurt?¡± "No. It''s just a small wound. I will go back and put on some medicine." Even though Vivianna was in great pain, she said it nonchntly in front of Zeph As Augustine crouched down, Zeph pouted and reported to him, "Daddy, mommy is injured." Augustine looked at Vivianna with his enigmatic eyes, ¡°Why are you so careless?¡± Vivianna felt a little guilty as she wasn''t paying attention to the surroundings. Augustine said to Zeph who was so anxious that his tears kept streaming down, "Zeph. can you go down the mountain by yourself?¡± "Alright!" He nodded.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Okay, let''s go!" After Augustine had finished speaking, he crouched down in front of Vivianna, "Hop on." Vivianna looked at his broad back, her heart skipped a few beats. Was he going to carry her down the hill? "Mommy, hop on! Let daddy carry you down the hill." Zeph said. "It''s okay. I can walk.¡± Vivianna refused his kindness. He said that he was going to let Zeph stay in the pce on the previous day. She seemed to be inexplicably on guard against him When Viviannawas standing up shakily, Augustine''s two strong arms lifted her hips and carried her on his back. Vivianna was Startled, she didn''t.fave any choice but to hald his Keck Hence, she was forcefully caffied by him. 4 ¡°Augustine, put me down. I said that I could walk." Vivianna protested However, Augustine patted on his back twice, "Be a good girl.¡± Vivianna''s face turned red right away. Zeph was walking ahead of them so he did not notice his mother''s reaction. Vivianna gaveNin. Augustine carried her all the way'' down from the mou ntainand returned to the castle. Damian Ewing had already takensthe medicie box out.

Zeph felt sorry for his mommy, he didn''t even want to go out and y anymore. Vivianna was speechless as she hurt herself so early in the morning. She even made Zeph worry. After a while. the servant had finished preparing breakfast. Vivianna enjoyed her breakfast with Zeph and Augustine. When they were having breakfast, Augustine questioned her curiously, ¡°What were you thinking when you were walking?¡± "I wasn''t thinking of anything." Vivianna mumbled in a muffled voice. Obviously, Augustine did not believe her. The steps were so big and t. It was impossible she would fall down, unless she wasn''t paying attention. After breakfast, Zeph refused to go upstairs to y. He sat beside Vivianna and stared at her wound, hoping it''d get better. Augustine handed an iPad to each of them, Vivianita dly took it. Zeph was singing: a children song = whereas Vivianna was watching the news Augustine went back to the studyroom to continue with, Ais work, _¡ã S swnovel. 4 Vivianna asked Zeph to go upstairs to y after an hour as he was not allowed to watch it for too long.

Vivianna stopped reading and walked slowly to the garden te apany him The two-day holiday was over. Augustine stayed with Vivianna at home. He wasn''t going to fight with her to sleep with Zeph. Zeph did not force them to sleep together anyway. Vivianna was injured, Zeph did not want the three of them to sleep in the same bed. In the blink of an eye, it was already Monday. That day was also the day for the students to sign up for school after summer break. It was finally the time for Zeph to go to school Vivianna requested a day off from Linda as Augustine had already arranged for Zeph to enrol into the school. Vivianna was going apanying Zeph to visit the school that day. The school was not in the suburb, but the school was very impressive. The walls towered over like a solid fortress. The school had experienced teachers and an abundance of resources. The infrastructure was also top-notch. The school atmosphere was very good. No wonder the price was over the moon. However, for a wealthy family, the tuition fee was nothing. In the eyes of the rich, the most important thing was the safety and education of their children. Especially safety, it was what they valued the most. Vivianna took a look around the kindergarten andpared it with the other kindergarten in themunity, it was iparable. Zeph didn''t really want to go to school. He looked around and kept pouting. He was only three years and two months old, it was already good enough that he didn¡¯t cry or make a fuss. There were several children of his age covered in tears and mucus. Vivianna squatted down and gazed at him with gentle eyes. She then exined, "Zeph, every kid has to go to school. They get to learn a lot of things at school, such as the way to gett along with people and making many friends. Do you understand?¡± "Well! I will go to school then." Zeph was obviously a little reluctant. "In future, when you finish school, Mommy wille to pick you up on time every day, okay?" Vivianna promised. "Will youe with daddy?" Zeph asked Augustine crouched, putting his arm around Vivianna''s shoulder and promised with a gentle smile, "Okay, I''lle to pick you up every day with your mommy.¡± In order tofort the child with a phobia of attending school, Vivianna had to endure Augustine''s "ws" and nodded with a smile, "Yes, we will come together." When Zeph saw the loving look on his daddy and mommy''s faces, he hugged them with his short yet tiny arms. Augustine and Vivianna were held by Zeph. Suddenly, their faces were close to each other and Vivianna¡¯s face turned hot. Augustine enjoyed his son''s behaviour very much. The sweet breath of the woman beside him made him take more deep breaths greedily. "Daddy, mommy, we must be together forever! We''ll never be separated! We need to love each other.¡± They did not know where Zeph learnt that sentence from, he said it in a serious tone. Zeph''s wish made Vivianna''s heart tremble. She turned her head to look at the man next to her, meeting a pair of thoughtful profound eyes, which carriedplicated emotions that she couldn''t understand. Vivianna turned back hurriedly. Augustine''s sexy thin lips opened slightly, "Well, we will be together forever." His voice was very deep and his hot breath was like a feather brushing against her ear. When his words fell into her ears, they felt particrly flirty and impactful. Vivianna was breathing nervously. Was he for real? Or was he lying to her son again? "Okay! Mommy, you have to promise me too!" Hearing his father''s promise, Zeph wanted Vivianna¡¯s assurance too. What should Vivianna say? If the three of them were to be together forever, did it mean that she was going to marry that man? She was afraid of guys. "Zeph, your mommy already promised you in her heart." Augustine knew that she was shy so he helped her out. Zeph was not difficult to deal with, he let go. At that time, Zeph''s ss teacher, an experienced woman in her early thirties came over, ¡°Zeph, you''re going to y at school today, alright?" Zeph nodded obediently and waved to his daddy and mommy behind, "Goodbye, Daddy and Mommy. Remember to pick me up after school!" Augustine sent him off and Vivianna smiled gently at him. After Zeph left with the teacher, Vivianna''s smile disappeared. She turned to look at Augustine next to her and said "I hope you don''t lie to Zeph anymore. He''s still young and will actually believe it.¡± Augustine raised his eyebrows, "When did I lie to my son?"N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "What do you mean by we will be together forever?

Vivianna''s pretty face turned as red as blood. She roared angrily. ¡°What does it have to do with you if I get married? Besides, your family does not even like me." Augustine''s handsome face turned clouded and he loosened his strong arm. Vivianna stepped back and looked at him in surprise. Augustine''s face was tense, he stared at her with a convoluted look. He ordered in a deep voice, ¡°What you should do now is to stay with your son obediently, you are not allowed to go anywhere." Vivianna bit her lip. Was what she said true? Did his family disagree? They must have made their stance! ¡°Augustine, I''m warning you that if you ever dare to take my son away from me, I wouldn''t let you go even if I die.¡± Vivianna stared at him with her fists clenched by her sides.

Vivianna was dumbfounded, her fingers entwined in his. She was being pulled to the school gate. Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Vivianna didn''t know what was wrong with herself as she didn''t loosen her hands. Besides, her hatred toward Augustine before was gone. However, there was a question lingering in her mind. Was that man really on her side? Being forced into the passenger seat by Augustine, Vivianna was still in puzzlement. Augustine went into the driver''s seat. Seeing that she even forgot to wear the seat belt, his well-built body leaned over. Vivianna was frightened. She hastily shoved herself against the window and looked at him warily, "What are you trying to do?¡± Seeing her being startled, Augustine grumbled, "Even if I want to do something, the space is not enough for me to show off my skills." His slender arm reached over her and he buckled the seatbelt for her. Vivianna was speechless as he wore a sh*tty attitude when he merely wanted to buckle the seatbelt for her. It was already past one o''clock in the afternoon. Augustine suggested, "Let''s eat first. I''ll drive you to thepany after lunch. We''ll pick up our son later." Vivianna¡¯s face became scorching hot for no reason. He said ¡°our son¡± so naturally as if they were husband and wife Vivianna didn''t say anything, but she obviously didn''t want to have lunch with him. Augustine didn''t care if she''d agreed, he drove to a restaurant that he frequently visited. In the private room of the restaurant. Augustine ordered a table of scrumptious food. Vivianna was still feeling a little awkward and did not feel like talking. When it came to that man, she often felt that she had nothing to say. ¡°Don''t you want to talk to me?" Augustine opened the red wine nonchntly. Vivianna turned to the window and replied casually, "There''s nothing to say." "I will tell you everything you want to know." Augustine narrowed his eyes. He knew that she had a lot of things to ask. Vivianna was stunned. She looked up at him and spoke, "What does your family think about Zeph? Do they want to take him back like you do?" "He only met my grandfather. My parents are still abroad.¡± Augustine answered. "What did your grandfather say?" Vivianna was very curious. "He wants Zeph to go back to the Giltstone family." Augustine told the truth. Vivianna''s chest tightened all of a sudden. Then, her eyes were full of anger and she said, "I won''t agree." Augustine looked at her calmly and said in a low voice, "Vivianna, calm down. If my family really wants to take Zeph away, do you think you have a say in it? They have so many ways to make you give up on your custody over Zeph." "Unless you want me to die." Vivianna¡¯s eyes turned red. "If you die, Zeph won''t have a mother. Could you stand it?¡± Vivianna''s nose twitched, his words made her tears fall down. Augustine stared at her and said calmly, "So, if you want to fight for Zeph''s custody, you must do as I say. At the very least, you will still get to stay with him." Vivianna looked at him nkly. Of course, she would not forget that he was also a member of the Giltstone family. He once said that he wanted to take her son away from her. However, right then, looking at his deep and unfathomable eyes, even if she could not read them. her heart believed him. She tried to hold back her tears and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Then what should I do?" Augustine stared at her calmly and spoke. ¡°Live with me for a year.¡± "What will happen after that?¡± Vivianna asked in a hoarse voice. Augustine became helpless. Was she not looking forward to the year? His thick-long eyshes twitched and he answered, "If we are not going to get married in a year, I will give up on Zeph''s custody.¡± "Marriage?" Vivianna looked at him in surprise. Augustine couldn''t help but lean over and get close to her. He looked at her with a pair of charming eyes, "Don''t you want to give Zeph aplete family?" Vivianna''s mind was in a mess. That man had too many requests so she couldn''t digest them in one go. She took a deep breath and replied, "Are you a man of your word?" ¡°If you don''t believe what I said, you can record it and use it as an evidence when I have to give up on my son''s custody in the future.¡± Augustine proposed. Vivianna picked up the phone. Augustine frowned and thought. Did that woman really not believe in me?" "Okay, I''ll record it. Say it again." Vivianna really didn''t believe him. After all, he was the first person in the Giltstone family who would want to rob her son Augustine''s fase was brooded.

Content b¨¦longs to ? Vivianna took the phone and checked the recording. It seemed that she had gone too far so she put the phone away and looked at the man in front of her with a captivating smile, "Thank you." Augustine felt that he had gone insane. For that woman, not only did he choose to oppose to his grandfather, but he also had to be scrutinized by her like that? By that time, the dishes had been served and dey fell into silence. Vivianna pe¨¦ped at the man in front of her several times, wanting to_ ~ know awhy he was willing to hel her to such extent that he woulcteven give up on his son''s custody. N?velDrama.Org exclusive content. Only Augustine knew the answer. Because, within a year, he not only wanted his son, but also that woman. However, it was much more difficult to conquer that woman than he had imagined. Therefore, within a year, he had to do his best and make full use of his charm to seduce her. He didn''t believe that she was as still as a mountain. What women couldn''t stand the most was a man¡¯s kindness. Thus, within that year, he would spoil her! Vivianna was tasting the dishes with full attention. She didn''t know what Augustine was thinking and the man¡¯s gentle and sweet trap which was. awaiting her. After dinner, Augustine sent her to herpany. Vivianna nced at him and then Augustine left. When Vivianna returned to the office, the first thing she did was to transfer the recording to theputer and send it to her private Cloud. After that she put on the earpiece and listened carefully to that sentence. There was only one thought popped out on her mind while she was listening to the recording. The man¡¯s voice was soothing, maic, enchanting and mellow like wine. After listening to it for a dozen times, she stopped. If she listened again, she would be fascinated by his voice. Thus, she buried herself in a bunch of design drafts. In therge office of Lambert Enterprise, X¨¦nophilius Lambert mmed th¨¦ table with a gloomy N face andshouted at the seniors, ~ "Who leaked the news? Why did Giltstore Enterprise have thes chance to take our customers away?¡± "President Lambert, we den''t know it either! Giltstone Enterprise has never been interested in shipping industry. Why did they rob our customer out of the blue? We have no clue.¡± Chapter 67 Chapter 67 "That''s right! Our customers have been taken away before we even realised. Before that. we didn''t receive any news at all!" Xenophilius looked really grumpy, "Giltstone''s Enterprise and I have never interfered in each other''s business. Lambert''s Enterprise has been avoiding them in product development. I didn''t expect Augustine Giltstone wouldpete with me.¡± "President Lambert, what did you do to offend Augustine?¡± "Yes! Augustine Giltstone didn''t look like he¡¯d be interested in shipping industry!" "Hmph, Giltstone Enterprise is interested in everything that makes money.¡± Another manager retorted. Xenophilius''s face sank. Finally, he sneered coldly, "Look into it. I want to know the reason behind." "Yes." A group of high-ranking executives responded instantly. On the way back to the office, Xenophilius thought carefully about every interaction with Augustine in the past. Although they were both well-known families in City A, Augustine had only been in the Giltstone Enterprise for a few years and had very few chances to meet him. asionally, they would meet at the banquets once or twice, and they were always being courteous with each other. How did he offend him? That incident made Xenophilius sense some danger. Not long ago, Augustine bought argepany. His means were domineering. It could be said that he was ruthless and merciless. Moreover, Augustine didn¡¯t only acquire thosepany that people didn''t manage well. Instead, everything that he had interest in would eventually be his. Xenophilius did not dare to be careless. Yet, he couldn''t figure out why and how he had offended Augustine. When he returned to the office, he saw a copy of a payment slip sent by his assistant. He nced for a few seconds and realized that it was Jessamyn''s design fees, which was actually 4.8 million dors and was paid in one go. Xenophilius signed with a sullen face and then picked up his phone and called Jessamyn "Hello, honey! Aren''t you busy?" "Did you buy any diamond rings recently?¡± Xenophilius queried expressionlessly. Jessamyn was stunned for a few seconds, "Honey, I just ordered a diamond ring as your present for me on our wedding anniversary. What''s wrong?" Xenophilius was a little anxious but his tone was still a little soft, "Nothing!" "One more week till our wedding anniversary. Honey, I''m looking forward to it!¡± Xenophilius sighed and felt tired, "I''ll leave it to you!" "Great!" She nodded "I''m busy now." Xenophilius hung up the phone. Augustine had stolen his clients. that made him agitated! In a beauty salon, Jessamyn hung up the phone and stayed nk for a few seconds. How could she not hear the displeasure in Xenophilius''s tone? Did he think that the diamond ring she had designed was too pricy? It was less than five million dors. Why did he start to be petty to her? She couldn''t help but think of what Xenophilius had saidst time, he wanted topensate Vivianna. He wanted to be generous to Vivianna but petty to his wife? Or, had Vivianna been ying any tricks recently? She had to warn Vivianna again, so that Vivianna would keep a low profile and mind her own business. Thinking of that, she looked at the time. It was over three o''clock in the afternoon. It would be almost half-past four by the time she reached at Vivianna''spany, just the right time to catch her. Jessamyn drove her sports car to Vivianna¡¯spany. Vivianna was focused on her drawings when the phone beside her rang. She picked it up and thought that it was from Augustine. ¡°Hello?¡± She picked it up ¡°Our son is finishing school at half-past four. Stop your work and I¡¯m picking you up."This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. "Okay!" Vivianna nodded. Her job was rtively flexible, she was only required to hand in her work on time. Vivianna tidied up the table and nned to go downstairs to wait for Augstine. Vivianna waited at the door. Augustine had not arrived. Instead, she saw Jessamyn getting out from a sports car. Jessamyn spotted Vivianna. Hatred shed in Jessamyn''s eyes and she walked up to her. Vivianna looked at her with a cold face, "What can I do for you, Mrs. Lambert?" ¡°You know d*mn well that Iam Mrs. Lambert, Vivianna. Let me warn you, you''d better stay away from Xenophilius." Jessamyn stared at her fiercely in her delicate makeup. "I''m sorry, but I''m not interested in sc*mbags." Vivianna said with disdain. "Good. I don''t know what tricks you''ve been secretly using. I heard that you have a son. Is it true?¡± Vivianna''s face became tense instantaneously, "It has nothing to do with you." "I don''t know whose illegitimate child it is. Viviane you''re really good. You gota sornas soon as you went o abroad. A ire you that lonely and. = desperate?¡± Jessamyn thoughtthat shegot pregnant abroad andgave bin to her son overseas. Content belongs to ? Hearing the word "illegitimate", Vivianna was so enraged that she pped Jessamyn on her egotistical face. She didn''t p herst time, but that day, she couldn''t hold it. Jessamyn cried out in pain and stared at Vivianna in disbelief, covering her face. She was about to explode, "Vivianna, how dare you hit me.¡± Vivianna jeered, "If you dare to demean my son again, I will never let you go.¡± Jessamyn''s face turned pale as she was extremely angry. She raised her arm and wanted to fight back. However, as soon as she raised her hand, a huge yet strong palm grabbed her hand, she could not hit her. Jessamyn was shocked. She turned around in a split second and saw that the man who held her hand was... Augustine Giltstone. Oh God! She eximed to herself. Before she cowd even react, a force threw her several steps away. She choked and took a couple of steps-~ back. Augustine did not know hers He tumed his gaze at Vivianna¡¯s: facecarefully and asked, ¡®Areyou okay?" S "It''s okay! Let''s go!" Vivianna did not want to be entangled with Jessamyn. She opened Augustine''s car door and sat in. However, Augustine did not get on the car immediately. He stared at Jessamyn with a pair of icy-cold eyes, with a silent warning and danger under his eyes. Ever since Jessamyn be Mrs. Lambert. she had never been afraid of anyone. However, at that moment, her heart was trembling with fear. That man was someone one shouldn''t be messing with. "Don''t let me see you bully her again. Otherwise, you''ll have to bear the consequences." Augustine''s voice was as cold as ice, every word was firm andced with threat. Jessamyn was so frightened that she took a step back. At that time, Yivianna had been waiting in ther car for a while. The istion effect of the window was-~ excellent-She did nothear = Augustine¡¯ Ss warning to Jessamiyn, Shepressed down the windew and said, '' ¡®Augustine, we shouldveave." Chapter 68 Chapter 68 The coldness in Augustine''s eyes dissipated. When he turned to look at Vivianna, his eyes lit up with a smile. Jessamyn watched Augustine''s car left. She gritted her teeth in shock. Did Vivianna really know Augustine Gilstrone? Augustine Giltstone cared about her so much he warned her in order to protect Vivianna? How could it be possible? If her intuition was right, Augustine was very affectionate to Vivianna. God! Where did Vivianna get such luck to meet Augustine? Jessamyn sneered. Augustine must not know that she had a son! Vivianna, just wait, you want to hook up with a man like Augustine? You wish. In the car. Augustine asked Vivianna, "Who was that woman? Why did you hit her?¡± "Xenophilius''s wife.¡± Vivianna replied while gnashing her teeth. Augustine frowned and asked, "Why was she there?" When Vivianna thought of Jessamyn¡¯s suspicion, thinking that Vivianna was trying to approach Xenophilius, she felt like gagging. In her life, what she didn''t want to see the most was Jessamyn''s repulsive face. She responded cooly, ¡°Nothing.¡± Augustine raised his thick eyebrows and thought. "Was that woman hiding something? Couldn''t she trust me?¡± "If anyone bullies you in future, you can tell me and I will definitely help you.¡± Augustine said, letting her know that he was willing to turn into her reliant shield. Vivianna was surprised. Then, she shook her head and replied, ¡°There''s no need for that, thank you.¡± Augustine raised his eyebrows again unhappily, "Vivianna, we''re gaing to live together soon. I don¡¯t want us to be so estranged.¡± He was right. Vivianna thought about it over and over. He was a member of the Giltstone family so she had to be careful. It was better safe than sorry. "Don''t worry, I will get along well with you.¡± Viviannaforted him. Augustine was speechless. There seemed to be a kind of thorn on Vivianna''s body. As long as he got close to her, her thorns would re up and guard her against anyone. When they arrived at the school, luxurious cars could be seen everywhere. Augustine''s car had the privilege. He drove into the school all the way to the ce where Zeph was waiting. He was ying the slide with a few other children. Noticing his daddy and mommy''s arrival, he was proudly showing off. He slid down the slide. "Zeph, it¡¯s time to go home." Vivianna shouted. "Mommy, can I y another round? Just one round." Zeph refused to leave. It was the nature of a child to y. "Okay!" Vivianna was not a strict mother either. Most of the time, she was being very tolerant. Augustine stood aside, his eyes falling on her, radiating with the glimmer of a motherly figure. The silent and strong love for his son, he thought. there wouldn''t be another woman in the world who could offer Zeph Zeph ran around happily again and then ran to Vivianna. Vivianna held him up and kissed his tender little face. Zeph put his small arms around her neck and beamed. Augustine stretched out his hand and ruffled his little head. Zephimmediately nuzzled his arm like a puppy. Zeph''s dependence and love for him touched Augustine''s softest heart. In the car, Augustine announced a message. norder to make it convenient to pick up his son, and in addition Gis castle was preparing to build achildren''s yground, < Augustine decided to move out of theseastle and set up his home in the d¨¦wntown area. Themunity''s security measures were first-ss and were close to theirpany and Zeph''s school. The most important thing was that Augustine wanted to live with them as a family of three, rather than being served by a bunch of servants in the castle. The night when he was at Vivianna¡¯s house gave Augustine that idea, he''d missed it. Therefore, the house didn''t need to be too spacious. Instead. it''d be better if it was smaller and cozier. At that moment, Augustine took them to their new home. Zeph was very excited. Vivianna didn¡¯t seem to have any opinion. In her heart, the education and safety of her son must be prioritized. What was more, with a recording in hand, she felt more at ease. Augustine''s new home was located in a high-rise house on the 38th floor. There were two private elevators, which had a fingerprint lock system. It was safe. The decoration was uxurious with expensive futhiture and top-grade security equipment. Even the ss. was anticexplosive. There was a ~ small heuse downstairs. It wasthe only / apartment I in the whole city centre, It offered the sunshine all day and 360 degrees of panoramic light. ¡± ¡°How much is it?¡± Vivianna was watching and marvelling at the same time. Meanwhile she was curious about the price as well. "I''m not sure.¡± Augustine replied cooly. Vivianna turned to look at him, "You don''t know? Didn''t you buy it?" Augustine shrugged his shoulders calmly, "I just bought this real estatepany today. If I had to be honest with you, it could be said that the whole property belongs to me." Vivianna''s face froze. She stiffed her neck and looked at the luxury building extended to a few kilometres away. The shock in her heart could not be described in words. In the end, it was attributed to a saying that the rich had a somewhat abnormal style of doing things. "Daddy, I have my own room!¡± Zeph shouted ecstatically. Augustine walked over with a smile. The room was decorated in a lovely and cute way. The ornaments were children''s favourite robots, toy cars and miniature aerones. It was a small paradise for kids. Vivianna walked around the nearly three hundred square meters luxurious studio. She looked calm but her heart was already in turmoil. So, in the next year, she would be living there with that man and her son?N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "From now on, there will be only three of us in this house. We won''t be having any servants, so you should do what the hostess does!" Augustine''s husky voice came from behind. Hearing "the hostess¡± made Vivianna nervous. She was not the hostess there! She was just a temporary guest. "The house is too big. It''s a little troublesome to clean up." Viviannained. After all, her work was not easy. "I will help. If we can¡¯t handle it, I will ask the housekeeper toe here once a week.¡± Augustine proposed. ¡°Alright¡± Vivianna pursed her lips. In fact, she usually took care of her son and herself. Now that there was another man, she didn''t know whether she could cope with him. "It''s still early. Let''s go downstairs for a look and buy some groceries. In the future, we should create a warm feeling at home for our son.¡± The feeling asa family was not only what his sonsneeded, but also what he needed.

NovelDrama.Org Vivianna looked at him in surprise. Why was that man so easy to get along with now? Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Zeph hurriedly followed Augustine, "Daddy, are we going shopping? I want to go.¡± Zeph loved every kind of food in the shopping mall. Although most of the food was banned by his mother, he was still very excited by just having a look! When they left, Zeph was holding his mommy''s hand in one hand and his daddy''s hand in the other. He was jumping out of the door excitedly. "Zeph, slow down.¡± After saying that, Vivianna tilted her head and saw that Augustine was looking at her with deep and charming gaze. Vivianna''s heart had been in turmoil since she arrived. At that moment, they looked into each other''s eyes with an affection that they had never felt before. Vivianna was the first to turn away in embarrassment. As for Augustine, a handsome smile appeared on his face which was very charming. In the mall. Zeph was sitting on the trolley and gazing around with his huge round eyes. Augustine was pushing the trolley while Vivianna was picking fresh vegetables in the vegetable section. In the eyes of outsiders, they looked just like a family. Augustine usually did a good job of keeping secrets, so he was not worried about being recognized in the crowd. However, many people were afraid of his innate aura even by just stealing nces at him. They were thinking that he must be a big shot. Vivianna showed her virtuous side. She was more experienced in buying vegetables. After selecting the vegetables, they went to the meat area. She even bought the cooking materials for breakfast on the next day. When she was checking out, Vivianna was ready to pay by her card as she was buying a lot. When she was searching for her card in the bag, a gleaming tinum card appeared in front of her.N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "Use mine." It was a low and maic voice. Vivianna took a peek and pushed it away. At the same time, she pulled out her card and looked up at the man saying, "Use mine.¡± Augustine frowned. Vivianna was still being courteous with him. At that time, the cashier had already scanned the bar codes and keyed in the prices. When Vivianna reached out her hand to hand over the card, Augustine took advantage of his height and passed his card, "Use this." "Just use mine." Vivianna retorted The cashier looked at the two cards and then looked at the man who handed out the tinum card. He was so noble that she couldn''t help but take his card, "Let''s take this gentleman''s card." Vivianna didn''t dare to me the cashier so she could only keep her card. After swiping the card, Augustine had already took the groceries and pushed the trolley with Zeph in front to wait for her. The cashier handed the card to her and uttered, "Miss, your husband''s card." Vivianna''s face burned. The cashier was mistaken Augustine as her husband? It was inconvenient for Vivianna to exin. She took the tinum card and walked toward Augustine. His ears were so sharp that he heard it. "Since it''s your husband''s card, you''d better keep it!" Augustine teased her. Vivianna gritted her teeth and red at him. ¡°I don''t want it." Then, as if the card would burn her hand, she wanted to return the card to him right away. However, Augustine was wearing a shirt without a pocket. When Vivianna saw that he had taken it out from his trouser pocket, she put the card in it. She put her little hand into the pocket and instinctively wanted to push the card in deeper so that it would not fall out. She tried her best to probe it deep into the pocket. However, she identally touched something and she was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand Augustine''s handsome face tensed. He stared at her while gnashing his teeth and spoke, ¡°Are you done touching?" Vivianna didn''t expect that she would have touched Augustine''s private part! "You''re quite bold. How dare you flirt publicly in the mall." Augustine didn''t want to miss the opportunity to tease her. Vivianna was going insane. She hastily switched her attention toward Zeph, she was afraid that Zeph would have heard it. Luckily Zeph was busy opening the can of milk. Obviously, he did not overhear her daddy and mommy''s conversation. "Mommy, open it for me." Zeph handed the bottle of milk to her. Vivianna took it. Normally, she couldn''t open it with her fingers because her nails would hurt. While she was thinking of a way, a big hand took it from her. Augustine opened it effortlessly and passed it to Zeph. Vivianna was stunned for a few seconds. In the past four years, she had done everything by herself. If there was anything she couldn''t do, she would find a way to solve it. But then, she realized that with a man by her side, things would get easier. Like opening the can. When she returned to her new house, it had everything. Vivianna bought a lot of sauce and put it in the refrigerator. She liked it when the refrigerator was stocked with food materials. Vivianna didn''t like to have rice for dinner so she started to prepare to cook noodles. That was her expertise. Zeph had loved it for four years. Augustine didn''t have badment on her noodle too. Vivianna was busy in the spacious kitchen, whereas Zeph was in the spacious hatt building his robot after e took outa pile of parts.

After knowing that Vivianna was the one he had spent a night with, some details gradually became vivid He remembered that night, she was the one who took the initiative. She let him go his way with her. That night, she bloomed like a rose. If... If she was also as desperate as she was now, that would be like a dream came true "Today is our first day in our new house. We should celebrate with a bottle of wine.¡± Augustine curled his lips into a smile and there was a beam at the bottom of his eyes. Wine could help with a lot of things. "I don''t drink."<[t''s okay.
