bNathan /bpulled Vivian to her feet and guided her to the ss table, He opened the food containers one by one, and the aroma of freshly cooked pasta band /bsavory meat filled the air, instantly making her mouth water.

    bJust /bbmoments /bago, Vivian hadn’t felt the slightest bit hungry, but now, with those delicious smells wafting over, her stomach started rumbling like an empty drum

    She gave ban /bawkward smile. “Thanks”

    Nathan handed her a fork. “No need to thank me. I’ve staked half my fortune on you. You can’t afford to fail.”

    Vivian btook /ba bite of pasta and mumbled through her mouthful, “Rx, I can only seed–failure’s not an boption /b

    Their shadows ovepped on the wall, looking especially warm and intimate.

    Nathan looked down at her, his eyes soft with a sense of tenderness that Vivian didn’t even notice

    As he watched her, a smile crept onto bhis /bface bwithout /bhim even brealizing /bbit/bb.. /b

    Vivian nced at him in confusion. “bWhat /bare you smiling about?”

    Nathan replied, “You’ve got some meat sauce at the corner of your mouth.”

    “Oh, really?” Vivian reached up to wipe it off, but Nathan beat her to it, his fingers gently brushing her cheek.

    The unexpected touch made them both freeze for a second.

    Their eyes met for a split second before Vivian quickly looked away, band /bbNathan /bsnapped out of it and cleared his throat awkwardly.

    “Sorry,” Nathan muttered.

    “It’s fine. Let’s eat,” Vivian said quickly

    “Okay.” Nathan nodded awkwardly.

    Vivian returned home three dayster and was surprised to see a bunch of new faces. “Are you all new here?” she asked curiously

    “Yes, Ms. Hart,” one of them replied.

    Vivian thought, ‘Didn’t we already have enough staff? Why are there so many more people now!”

    “bMove /baside,” a voice called out from behind her while Vivian was still in a daze,

    It was Amber.

    Vivian grabbed Amber’s arm. “Wait, why are there so many people at home? What’s all this abour?”,

    Amber pulled her hand away, blooking /bcurious. “What else could it be? They’re here to work, obviously. You haven’t been home for days

    I thought you moved out or something.”

    “Tve just been a bit busytely,” Vivian replied.

    “Sienna, you’re home too?” Vivian called out bas /bshe spotted Sienna and strode over to her.

    Amber reached out to stop her. “Don’t get btoo /bclose–Sienna’s got a baby on the way now.”

    “What? Wait, what Vivian’s eyes went wide with shock

    “Sienna, are you really pregnant Vivian blurted out,pletely floored.

    “Yes, Sienna replied.

    bVivian /bjust stood there, still in shock. ‘Sienna’s actually pregnant?‘ she thought, still trying to wrap her head around it.

    b“/bbSo/b… whose baby is it?” Vivian blurted out

    Chapter b384 /b

    Amber was just as curious, staring at Sienna with wide, eager eyes. They both guessed it was probably Julian’s, but since Sienna hadn’t said a word, anything was possible.

    “It’s bmine/b.” At that moment, Julian strode over to Sienna, slipped ban /barm around her waist, and dered, “The baby is mine.”

    Vivian’s eyes widened. “But you two aren’t even married. How could you just-

    She thought, ‘Sure, having a baby before marriage isn’t that rare these days, but Julian hasn’t even proposed or mentioned marriage at all. Isn’t that just acting like a total scumbag?

    A flicker of sadness crossed Julian’s face. “It’s my fault. L…

    Before he could finish, Sienna cut him off. Tm the one who doesn’t want to get married.”

    Hearing that it was Sienna’s decision, Vivian didn’t argue anymore. ‘Maybe it’s for the best. The baby will belong to the Hart family, she thought.

    She was more bthan /bwilling to btake /bcare of the baby.

    “Sienna, marriage is nothing but shackles–it’s a grave. I’ll always support you,” Vivian said, her eyes full of determination.

    Sienna smiled. “How have you beentely?”
