The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 180

The next day.

When Vivienne awoke, Percival had already prepared breakfast.

After seeing the strawberry cake on the table. Vivienne’s eyes lit up and she quickly walked over. “Strawberry cake?”

Percival handed her a slice of the freshly cut cake. His deep, affectionate eyes were glowing, showcasing his intentions to do nothing but please her. “Try it. Do you like it?”

Vivienne took a bite and nodded. “It tastes just like it used to. Your cooking is still so good.”

After receiving her compliment, the smile on Percival’s lips deepened.

He had initially planned to make the cake for her in the afternoon. He thought that having cake in the morning. might be a little heavy. But considering her low spirits the day before, he decided to wake up early to prepare it.

Her satisfied expression made him feel content.

“Don’t eat too much in the morning. I’ll make it for you every day.” Percival gently stroked her head. His slender fingers gently threaded through her beautiful hair. His voice was soft and full of love. “My girl, whatever you want, I’ll make sure you have it.”

Vivienne looked up at him. The morning sunlight highlighted his handsome features. She had to admit that he was incredibly good–looking.

He seemed to have inherited all the best features from his ancestors. His face seemed to have been expertly sculpted, so much so that it drew people in at first glance.

Suddenly, she felt that not canceling their engagement wasn’t such a bad idea. At least, seeing his face every day would certainly lift her spirits.

Her gaze fell on his cool lips, and a small flame seemed to flicker deep within her. She put down the cake in her hand and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. “Mr. Wolf, don’t tempt me.”

Percival fell silent.

When had he ever tempted her?

Before he could speak, Vivienne tiptoed and kissed him. The sweet taste of cake still lingered in her mouth. Percival wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, his voice husky as he said, “Vivienne… It’s you who’s tempting me.”

“Really?” Vivienne looked up at him with her bewitching eyes. “And are you letting me?”

Percival’s flame had been ignited, and he pushed her against the wall. Instead of answering her, he kissed her passionately.

The kiss lasted for a long time before Percival, satisfied, finally let go of Vivienne.

Vivienne’s face was flushed. She tidied her disheveled hair, her voice now slightly awkward. “I need to go to school.”

She must be crazy. Why did she always want to throw herself at Percival?
