Chapter 452
Vivian, who was from an ordinary family, could feel hove spectacular Jewel Road was and could not help talding in the scenery for as long as she could.
She looked out the car window and saw all the luxurious villas along the way, her heart racing. ‘I can’t imagine any woman who wouldn’t want to live such a life.”
Of course, this included Vivian herself.
As the car pulled into One Jewel Road, Vivian quickly got out and said, “Wow. Do you live here?”
Adrian smiled after getting out of his car and said, “Yes, I only just moved in recently. Let’s head inside, Viv. I’ve invited a few others to join us. They’ll be here soon!
“What? But… Hang on. We were in such a rush that I forgot to bring a gift. Also, is your wife home?” Vivian seemed slightly frightened and embarrassed as she spoke. She was in an unfamiliar environment, which made her feel uncomfortable.
“I’m happy that you’re here. There’s no need for a gift. Sam’s at the office, but my mother and little sister are home.”
Vivian heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid running into Samantha would be awkward. However, she still said, “I’m a guest here, Adrian, and your mother is home. I can’t come empty–handed, can 17”
“All right, that’s enough. Come inside!” Adrian grabbed Vivian’s arm and pulled her inside the villa, where Rue was in the living room preparing some ravioli.
She was stunned when she saw Adrian bringing another woman home and asked, “Adrian, you’re home. Who’s this lady next
to you?”
Vivian’s face turned bright red. Anyone who did not know Vivian might end up mistaking her for Adrian’s mistress.
Adrian explained, “This is Vivian Arce. She used to be my homeroom teacher back in high school.”
“You’re Ms. Vivian?” Hue hurriedly got up and sounded surprised as she spoke.
Hello, ma’am. Adrian brought me here in a hurry so I wasn’t able to prepare a gift for you.” Vivian bowed and seemed extremely embarrassed.
“Please, Ms. Vivian, there’s no need for gifts. I’ve heard so much about you in the past. Were you the one who taught Adrian foreign languages?”
Still embarrassed, Vivian smiled. “It was part of my job, ma’am. It was the least I could do for the salary I was being paid.”
Rue scurried off to fetch Vivian a glass of water before she said, “You’re just in time, Vivian. I’m preparing lunch right now so why don’t you stay and eat with us?”
turned to Adrian and continued, “Juno said she felt like eating ravioli so I’m preparing her some. I wasn’t expecting you to be back this afternoon. Just give me a little time. I’ll go make some more for you.”
“Mother, please send the two people who are coming up to the third floor when they arrive.
“Let’s go. Viv.”
With Vivian following closely behind, Adrian brought her to the sky garden upstairs. Vivian was mesmerized when she saw the
scenery.
Meanwhile, Juno was lying on a reclining bench, reading a book. When she saw Adrian, she turned around and said, “Big Brother? Why are you home so early? And who’s s
“Is this your little sister, Adrian?” Vivian asked as alar looked at juno, “she looks different than what I remember though.”
Adrian smiled “She’s my other little sister. I’ll tell you all about it when we get the chance. There’s some dessert and drinks in the fridge. Go ahead and help yourself. Let’s fire up the barbeque pit when the others arrive, and have some beer too!”
Vivian still had no idea who Adrian had invited but she chose not to ask so many questions and went over to have a chat with

Juno. After a while, she found out that June was Rue’s adopted daughter.
“Ms. Vivien, we’ve got some new swimwear in the lockers if you’d like to change and cool yourself down from the heat. We just changed the pool water, plus it’s at just the right temperature now.”
“That sounds nice, “Vivian answered.
However, she felt shy and chose not to get changed.
Shortly after that, a woman’s rather spiteful voice sounded from the stairwell, “What the hell are you thinking, you big idiot?
Why did you ask me to buy such a huge barbeque pit? I’m exhausted just carrying it up the stairs!”
