The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 39

When Vivienne and Dorian left the Hawthorn family, it was already 10 o’clock at night.

They were about to head back to Tranquil Estates when Isolde came running over..

“Vivienne, we’re going to grab a bite, wanna join us?” Isolde asked, holding Vivienne’s hand, her voice incredibly soft.

After the drama that went down at the Hawthorn family, the guests barely got a bite to eat.

Just as Vivienne was about to decline, Thomas wheeled Percival over to her.

Percival spoke up. “Come on, join us. Isolde really likes you. If you don’t come, she’ll have trouble sleeping tonight.”

Then he turned to Dorian and Cordelia, “Mr. Dorian and Miss Cordelia, you guys should join us too, might as well take this chance to formally meet!”

“Nah, Dorian declined, “You young folks go ahead and have fun. We’re gonna call it a night, Thaddeus has school tomorrow and he needs to rest early.

Dorian then turned to Vivienne and said, “Vivienne, get home early after you eat, a young lady shouldn’t be out all night. If it gets too late, give your old man a call, I’ll come pick you up!”

He then shot Percival a warning look, as if to say: You better not dare mess with my daughter, or I’ll give you hell!

Percival’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t messed with her when she was at her most vulnerable, let alone now when she was fully sober!

Vivienne, who had initially planned to decline, said, “…Don’t worry!”

They’ve made the decision for her, what room was there for her to refuse?

Once they got in the car, they started deciding where to eat.

Four adults, one kid, five different tastes.

Percival wanted French cuisine.
