"And then what?" Luca was not surprised to know Gordan was here.

Gordan was well-connected all over the world. Was there anyone who could stop him if he wanted to travel to another country?

After all, she had seen Gordan swapping faces to help Luke solve his problem before.

"And then..." Vivian smiled bitterly. If Gordan pestered her just because he could not let her go, she might have been moved by him, and she would probably forgive him.

However, Gordan pestered her only because he thought Vivian had deliberately humiliated him and he wanted an explanation.

It was not his obsession for her or that he could not get over her, but it was the anger he felt after being humiliated.

Vivian felt helpless and anxious. At the same time, she realized even though she appeared as if everything was fine, she knew she had not gotten over him yet. She felt worthless.

That was why she had been losing sleep for the past few days. She was not feeling herself lately.

Luca immediately understood. Even though Gordan had come looking for Vivian, it was not about their relationship. He came to look for her because what Vivian did hurt his pride and dignity as a man.

It was torture for Vivian.

It was not easy for Vivian to give up her previous life. All of her efforts would be in vain with Gordan showing up in front of her now.

"Where's Mr. Lacroix?" Luca asked. There was no way Ray would let Gordan disturb Vivian's life that way.

"Okay." Vivian looked down. "He has to deal with some family stuff. That's why he went back on the first day of the New Year."

"You didn't tell Mr. Lacroix about it?" Luca made a wild guess. If Ray intervened with this matter, he could definitely stop Gordan from disturbing Vivian even if he did not have many men here.

"It's better not to trouble Ray with such petty things. It's tiring for him to deal with our family matters." Vivian shook her head.

Vivian knew if Ray were to make a move, she could stop receiving the messages Gordan sent to her and stop him from disturbing her.

However, if Ray got involved in this, Gordan would certainly get hurt. Vivian's was subconsciously reluctant to see Gordan getting injured.

Even if Gordan did not love her or treated her nicely back then, the affection she had for him back then and her lack of courage to face her feelings now could not make her harden her heart against him.

Luca knew what Vivian had in mind. It all boiled down to one thing. Vivian could not bear to see Gordan being injured.

“Does he look for you every day?" Luca asked.

"Not every day. Just sometimes. Otherwise, how can I be hanging out with you today?" Vivian gave a bitter smile. She would disguise herself when she went out every day as she was afraid she would run into Gordan and he would recognize her.

Vivian realized Gordan was not waiting for her at the gate entrance when she went out to buy breakfast this morning. Judging from past experiences, he would not show up for the rest of the day if he did not come in the morning. That was why she asked Luca out to hang out.

The semester was about to start. Vivian had to get her preparations done.

"Then..." Luca felt a little helpless.

Was Gordan in love with Vivian? No one could sense that he was in love with her.

However, it was confusing for him to pester Vivian like this.

It seemed like he was unwilling to accept it. Still, was he so unconvinced to go as far as to travel here to look for Vivian? Luca could not help but feel puzzled.

Was he truly refusing to resign himself to the fact that his marriage was over?

"I'm afraid of going out now. I initially planned to stay in the apartment. It's near to my college and it'll be convenient for me to go to classes. I thought of buying a bicycle too. It'll be more convenient for me, but I'm thinking that maybe I should apply to stay in the student dorms now," said Vivian in a helpless tone. She was worried Gordan could still recognize her even if she disguised herself.

Vivian would feel upset and awkward when the time came.

"Colleges nowadays allow the public to enter. Do you think he can't enter your college and wait for you even if you stay in the dorms." said Luca.

Gordan was an expert. Even if the college had a curfew, Vivian probably could not stop Gordan either.

"Then what should I do? I only want to live in peace. I don't want him to disturb me again." Vivian took a sip of the coffee. The bitter taste of the coffee could not wash the bitterness in her heart away.

Vivian thought time would heal her wounds as long as she stayed away from him.

However, Gordan refused to let her do so. Instead, he kept on approaching her and reminding her that he was the man she was madly in love with before.

"You have a couple of days until the semester starts. Why don't you stay at Mr. Crawford's house these few days?" Luca could not figure a way out, so she came up with a suggestion.

After all, Vivian only wanted to avoid Gordan.

If Ray could not get involved in this, getting Luke involved should not be a problem.

If Gordan had not helped Luke before, he would not have met Vivian in the first place. He would not have had anything to do with her after that either.

However, Luke had gotten himself into danger because of Gordan and Vivian's matter.

It lasted until today.

Luca came out with such an analysis, and the helplessness in her heart was a few times stronger.

They got involved too deeply in the relationship between Gordan and Vivian. Luca was still affected by it until now.

“Can I?" Vivian wanted to find a place to avoid Gordan too, but it was unsuitable for her to stay in hotels and inns.

Gordon had many connections in A City as well.

He had many connections here. Vivian could not stay in a hotel to avoid him.

"Mr. Crawford enjoys having guests at home. You're welcome." Luca did not ask for Luke's permission. She agreed to let her stay on behalf of Luke.

Perhaps Luke was the only one who could convince Gordan to stop looking for trouble.

"That's great." Vivian smiled gratefully. She stayed in a luxury apartment. Every block of the apartment was detached from the other blocks. That was why there was only one exit.

Vivian might not be that troubled if there were a few exits in the apartment.

"Okay. Let's get some stuff after we finish our coffee. Mr. Crawford happened to ask me to do something for him," said Luca.

"What did Mr. Crawford assign you to do?" Vivian could not help but feel curious.

"It's nothing. Mr. Crawford's younger brother is about to move to a new house. He asked me to pick a gift for him," explained Luca. She could not help Vivian to solve her problem with Gordan, so she changed the subject of the conversation to make her feel more comfortable.

"Then let's set off after we finish eating," Vivian replied with a smile.

"Sure. We'll just do some shopping in this mall." Luca nodded. Many international brand stores could be found in this shopping mall. It would be appropriate to pick a gift for Louis and his family here.

After the two of them finished their coffee and cake, they left the cafe together.

Luca and Vivian walked out of the cafe and headed to the garment store.

The clothes Vivian brought here were not very suitable to wear in college. She thought of picking some college outfits. That was why she asked Luca to help her pick them.

Vivian was tall. The local brands in A City did not suit her. Hence, Luca brought her to international brand stores.

Luca helped her to pick a few sets of clothes. She said, "This store has an online shop too. You can get clothes online when you're busy with your studies next time."This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
