“I only remembered when you mentioned it. Online shopping is way more convenient here in A City." Vivian smiled and massaged her forehead.

All this while, she had fully integrated herself into life here. However, she had no one to guide her, so she missed out on many conveniences.

Vivian took the several sets of clothes that Luca had picked out for her and walked into the fitting room to try all of them on.

On the other hand, Luca sat on the sofa in the store and waited for Vivian to finish changing.

While waiting, she glanced toward the door, and her eyes flicked upward when a figure passed by it.

The figure seemed familiar.

Luca put the magazine aside and kept looking at the door to see how long the person would stay at the door.

"Luca, does this look good on me?" Only when Vivian's voice sounded did she slowly withdraw her gaze.

After looking her up and down, Luca gave an affirmative answer, "Youthful and beautiful. It looks great on you."

Vivian smiled bashfully. "I'm old now, so I'm nowhere near youthful nor beautiful."

"Says who? It depends on how one dresses and presents themselves, not age. This outfit suits you, and you can wear it to school too." Luca disagreed with her words and tried to boost her confidence.

"Luca, you have such a way with words. I'm clumsy. If only I was as articulate as you, I wouldn't have a problem getting along with my classmates in the new semester," Vivian said enviously.

She never had a strong sense of self-confidence to begin with, especially throughout those years when she was constantly criticized by Gordan's wicked tongue. She had no self-esteem at all.

"It'll be okay, and I'm telling the truth. There are two more sets. Let me have a look after you change into them. If they suit you, let's buy them all," said Luca as her eyes subconsciously traveled to the door.

"Okay, but what are you looking at?" Vivian asked out of curiosity.

"Nothing. Go on and change. We still need to buy some stationery later as universities here are different from universities in Russia.

"Alright." Vivian glanced at the door and saw people coming and going, but nobody entered this store as it was a relatively expensive brand.

Who was Luca looking at?

She walked into the fitting room in doubt and proceeded to try on the other two outfits.

Luca's gaze was fixated on the door. She did not even look sideways when the staff member handed her a cup of tea as she was focused on every single movement by the door.

Vivian tried on the rest of the clothes and was satisfied with them. After praising Luca's good taste in fashion, she took the clothes to the counter.

After checking out, they left the store.

Luca glanced left and right. After making sure that the person hovering around the doorway was no longer there, she smiled at Vivian and said, “Let's go. You still need a pencil case and a bag."

“Can't I use my usual bag?" Vivian asked.

“I've seen your bag, and it looks quite small. It might be able to hold some stationery, but for books and test papers you get from the teachers? That simply won't cut it," Luca said while shaking her head before asking her, “Do you want to use a shopping bag to carry your stuff, then?"

“No, good thing you mentioned it. Otherwise, I would've just used my old bag." Vivian pulled her into the Louis Vuitton store.

They had a clear and precise objective, so Vivian picked out a shoulder bag and a backpack before asking Luca for her opinion.

“What do you think about these two bags?"

“They're good. You'll be able to fit a lot of things in them." Luca took a look at the size of the bags and continued to stare at the entrance.

Vivian was even more curious now, so she asked, “Luca, did you see someone you know? Why do you keep looking at the door?"

“No, I was looking at the outfits of the people passing by." Luca gave a random excuse. If someone was following them, she guessed two possibilities.

If they were following Vivian, it could only be Gordan, which was not that bad.

However, if they were following Luca, it would be someone from the Island of Despair, which was not a good sign at all.

Especially since Abel had been quiet for so long.

“Is that so?" Vivian was still suspicious. Why would Luca observe what people were wearing?

It seemed more like she was observing her surroundings.

After Vivian got everything she needed, Luca went to the gift store.

She chose a small set of appliances as Louis's mansion had been furnished, so his house would already be well-equipped with furniture. Thus, she bought some miscellaneous electronic appliances that were not often used but would still come in handy.

Then, she bought quite a number of decorations as well.

Although she got many things, the gift store offered delivery service, so Luca left her address and left with Vivian.

Luca went back with Vivan to her place and waited for her to pack some clothes before going over to Luke's mansion to stay a few days to avoid Gordan.

While waiting for Vivian to pack her clothes, Luca sent a message to Luke and briefly told him about the situation.

Not long after, Luke replied saying that he had already asked Aunt Neile to tidy up the guest room.

Luca smiled, and when Vivian dragged a small suitcase out, she stood up and said, "Let's go. I've called us a ride. The driver is waiting at the door."

"Luca, you're so thoughtful. If you were a guy, I'd definitely marry you!" Vivian said with a smile.

"Oh, shut up. Come on." Luca took Vivian's hand, and they left.

When they got to the entrance, she purposefully looked around.

Vivian seemed to have figured out what she was looking out for, so she said wryly, "Don't worry. If he doesn't show up in the day, he certainly won't show up now."

Luca's expression was odd. "Are you sure?"

"Yup, it's been like this for days." Vivian nodded as Gordan may not understand her, but she understood Gordan well.

Luca's expression remained the same as the person following them earlier seemed more like Gordan than someone from the Island of Despair.

Not to mention, the figure was also similar to his...

Luca saw the driver's car parked at the curb. She walked over there after wrapping her arm around Vivian's. "Come on, get in." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Okay." Vivian smiled and followed.

After Luca helped put her suitcase in, she opened the door and said, "You get in first."

"Okay." Vivian bent down and got on.

The moment Luca closed the door, she looked back and saw a black BMW parked on the side of the road.

She raised her eyebrows and walked over to the other side to get in the car.

After giving him the address, the driver started driving to the mansion.

"By the way, I haven't told Mr. Crawford yet. It wouldn't be nice of me to show up uninvited like this." Vivian took out her phone to inform Luke when it occurred to her.
