Chapter 87

After that, Julian sat back on the bed and held her hand again. “Do you have anything particular in your mind?”

Julian’s voice was so soft and his eyes were so gentle. Vivian was moved. She shook her head. “No.

I’m only a few months pregnant. I’m not that fragile.”

Julian said, “Nonsense! Pregnant women should take good care of their bodies. You’re fragile.”

Secing Julian’s serious look, Vivian teased him. “So you treat me so well only because I’m having a baby. If not, I am not fragile to you, right?”

Julian explained hurriedly, “How can you think that way? You know I always treat you like this…” When he saw her narrowed eyes, he knew he was fooled. He patted her face gently. “You are so naughty!

How dare you!”

Being amused by Julian, Vivian dodged him and said, “No! I’m just kidding. But, Julian, don’t you think this baby came at a bad time?”

Hearing this, Julian stopped smiling and looked upset. “Why?”

Vivian said, “Don’t be angry. I mean, I knew what happened at the company. It is finally back on track.

There are a lot of things to do and… and we’re not married yet…”

Julian suddenly realized it. “You’re blaming me for not proposing to you, right? Don’t worry. I have a plan. I will definitely give you a perfect and grand wedding!”

Julian leaned over and kissed Vivian on the forehead.

Julian was hesitating before because Seraphina was very important to him. So he couldn’t make a decision. But now that Seraphina had left him, he should make up his mind.

After all, only Vivian was always by his side. No matter what difficulties he was in, even when he was angry with her, she never left him.

Julian thought he should be nice to Vivian!

Thinking about this, Julian was moved. He held Vivian in his arms. “Vivian, I know you’ve had a hard time.”

His words made Vivian’s nose twitch and her eyes turned red.

Vivian thought she had a hard time too so she clamped her lips together and said, “So, you know it! I thought you didn’t know!”

Julian said, “Of course I do. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault! I promise I’ll make you happy, okay?” He made an oath with a sincere look.

Vivian said, “Remember your words. You can’t go back on your own word!”

Julian nodded. “I won’t!”

Vivian smiled. She was so happy.

Looking at her bright smile, Julian felt excited. At first, he was very upset because of what happened in the factory and he hadn’t made out with her for a long time. Besides, he missed her very much when she was away.

Julian gently kissed Vivian’s face, from her checks to her lips. After a long time, he pressed his lips against hers and said, “Vivian, is it okay to do it now?”

Before Vivian spoke, he hurriedly said, “I’ll try to be gentle. If you feel uncomfortable, I will stop right away, okay?”

Vivian could clearly see the desire in his eyes. But she knew very well about her body. She didn’t want it at all. Even if she forced herself to it, she might not be able to bear it.

Even though Julian was pleading softly, Vivian turned her head away and said, “Why can’t you hold it?

Don’t care about me? You said you wouldn’t let me suffer anymore. Do you know that I’m at the most unstable stage? Don’t you think about me and the baby? If something bad happens, how will you feel?”

Vivian looked down. Julian looked at her profile and felt she was extremely aggrieved. Julian felt like being poured a cup of cold water and didn’t feel excited anymore.

Julian apologized repeatedly, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault! I should’ve controlled myself. My bad.” He thought for a while and stood up. “You get some rest first. The food will be delivered here soon. I’m going to take a shower.”

After saying that, Julian rushed into the bathroom.

After a while, Vivian heard the sound of water running. Vivian knew that Julian must be taking a cold shower to suppress his desire. It was a cruel and simple way.

Vivian still felt a little sorry.

After all, Julian was really nice to Vivian. She was happy that he flew all the way to see her.

However, things couldn’t be redone. And there was no return. Since Vivian had done so much, she got what she wanted. Anyway, it was just a deal between her and Mike. After they both got what they wanted, their relationship would end.

As long as Vivian was careful enough, she would find a subtle balance.

Vivian touched her lower abdomen with one hand. Actually, she hadn’t made up her mind whether to keep the baby or not. But based on Julian’s attitude, he wanted this baby so she would probably keep it for now. It might be a useful leverage anyway. After a day’s trip, Mia returned to the hotel. She was exhausted but she didn’t rush to take a shower. Instead, she turned on her computer and handled all her email and other work.

In the past time, Seraphina thought Mia was capable more and more. Mia was also very enthusiastic about developing perfumes but she was hot so talented.

It was really unfair. Some people were born with a keen sense of smell such as those top perfumers and Seraphina.

Some had a lot of talents but were not as talented as Seraphina. Compared with these ones, people like Mia and Vivian were even much less talented.

Vivian was indeed talented. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to make a living in this industry. But the difference was that Mia worked harder than Vivian.

Mia was not only experienced but also took practices regularly. She read a lot of books and found a lot of materials. Seraphina often saw Mia comparing the differences between various perfumes alone and testing herself with the formulas and data.

However, Vivian only focused on how to h ook up with Julian and take credit for what others did. She didn’t make any effort in technical skills. She only studied how to maneuver people.

Because of this, Seraphina just lightly changed the formula left by Prosperian Company and Vivian didn’t know how to deal with it at all.

Now, Seraphina had nothing to do. She didn’t want to disturb Mia so she leaned back on the sofa and opened her phone. She clicked Dashiell’s avatar and typed: [I’m back.]
