"The interior was well thought out..." Vivian sighed, walked out of the master bedroom, and opened the


    door of the bedroom opposite.


    Luca said, "If you don''t like living alone, the desk can also be set up in the master bedroom. The


    designer has reserved enough space for it. Of course, you can also rent out the second bedroom to a


    girl, making the apartment more lively."


    "Mr. Crawford is so thoughtful." Vivian smiled as she looked at the furnishings of the guest bedroom.


    The designer did not take it less seriously just because it was the guest bedroom.


    She also liked the decorations of the guest bedroom. "I prefer to have a space to myself. I n to live


    alone for the time being."


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    She did not have many friends when she was in Russia, so Vivian did not n to rent her room out.


    She was used to being alone.


    Moreover, Vivian did not want others to know about Ray and their family.


    "Mm, it''s better to live alone. It’ll be quieter." Luca knew Vivian’s temperament so she did not say


    anything regarding that.


    Vivian was still young, so she would be fine living alone. If she encountered any challenges, there was


    still Luke...


    He was close to Ray, so he would be sure to keep watch on Vivian.


    Vivian turned around and shed a smile at Luca. "Can I go and see the kitchen? I''ve made ns.


    After school, I''ll cook and make desserts at home to improve my cooking skills."


    "The kitchen should be here." Luca took her to the kitchen, nced at it, and said, "In A City, as long as


    there’s enough space in the house, the designers will design wet and dry kitchens. The dry kitchen was


    on the outside. You can bake some desserts here. The wet kitchen inside, and you can prepare your


    favorite foods there if you are interested."


    Vivian looked around. There was some basic equipment though the ce was missing a few tableware


    and cooking utensils.


    "I want to learn to cook the local food here. Your cookingst night was delicious." After she praised


    Luca, she said, "I don''t know what utensils and seasonings to buy." "Let''s go to the supermarket


    together. Also, I notice that there are still a lot of things missing here. Why don''t we do this? I''ll check


    the whole house and make a list. If anything is missing, we can go buy itter."


    "Luca, you''re so kind." Vivian hugged her and excitedly said, "If we can get everything ready, Ray and I


    don''t have to stay in the hotel anymore!" "Yeah, spending the new year here would be much more


    comfortable than staying in a hotel," Luca said. That was what she truly felt.


    "Great, I can''t wait to experience New Year''s in A City! Luca, thank you for helping out." Vivian thanked


    her.


    Luca smiled, picked up the phone, and started from the kitchen to see what they needed to buy.


    If Vivian wanted to learn to cook local food, the seasonings were essential. They needed kitchen


    utensils and sponges for cleaning too.


    Then, she headed to the bathroom and found that there was nothing there. Luca included toiletries and


    cleaning supplies on the list, as well as some other items for the bedroom.


    After half an hour, she had a full list of items.


    Vivian saw it and said in surprise, "There''s so much that we need to buy!"


    "Yeah, there''ll be more things that we need for your new home. Since you didn''t bring anything with


    you, let''s buy everything in one go. It''s better than buying things as you find out what you''re missing,"


    Luca exined. The things on her list were all that Vivian could use in the future.


    "Luca, you''re so thoughtful." Vivian thanked her once more.


    Luca smiled softly and took her arm. "I remember that there''s a huge supermarket nearby. You can buy


    everything you need there. Let''s go."


    "Okay." Vivian agreed.


    The two went downstairs, got into Warren''s car, and got to the supermarket.


    There were a lot of things to buy, so Luca asked Warren to park the car and help them with the


    shopping in case she and Vivian could not carry everything.


    Warren readily agreed.


    The three of them each pushed a shopping cart. Luca took the lead and started shopping. She was


    thoughtful and would consult Vivian for advice.


    Domestic products were not the same as Russian products. She would exin patiently if Vivian did


    not understand what it was.


    Warren was on the side, carrying and putting things away for them.


    Looking at the dazzling shelves of goods, Vivian could not help but sigh in admiration. "There are so


    many things in the supermarkets of A City. If you weren''t here, I wouldn''t even know what to choose."


    "Choose what you like best. Let''s go buy your bedding products, shall we?" Luca suggested that since


    the bedding area was not far away.


    "Okay, let''s choose one more set for Ray." Vivian thought to herself that she would need two sets to


    use alternately. If Ray were to stay with her, she would have to prepare one more set.


    "I wrote down three sets. Let''s go." Luca walked to the area where four-piece sets were sold.


    Just as they were ready to browse around, a voice came from behind. "It''s you."


    Luca thought the voice was a little familiar, so she looked back. It was Mavis Laviere, whom she had


    bumped into yesterday.


    She frowned. ''I haven''t seen her in a while but bumped into her two days in a row. Why is my luck so


    bad?''


    Mavis nced at Vivian, then at Warren, who was standing beside Luca. She stepped forward, picked


    up her phone, and took a photo of her standing beside Warren. "I didn''t expect you to be a ygirl."


    Luca raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you mean?"


    She did not understand how she looked like a ygirl.


    Mavis, as expected, liked to spew usations.


    "You went shopping with Mr. Crawford yesterday and you''re shopping with other men in the


    supermarket today. I wonder how miserable would you be if Mr. Crawford finds out?" Mavis stubbornly


    believed that Luca was romantically involved with Warren.


    "Go tell him, then," Luca turned around and said. She was not at all bothered.


    Mavis was not telling the truth, and Luke would not believe her even if she sent him the photo.


    After all, Warren was his subordinate. Luke was also the one who asked Warren to help. There was


    nothing unusual about them standing together.


    Mavis could not help but feel irritated when she saw Luca''s attitude. ''Did I misunderstand the situation?


    ''The woman in front of me has a charming, vixen-like face. How could this possibly be a


    misunderstanding?''


    Mavis raised her phone again.


    Warren could not stand her any longer. He covered her rear phone camera and said, "Ms. Laviere,


    please don''t take photos of us without our consent."


    "You know who I am?" Mavis asked. She was taken back. ''Could he be my former suitor? I have no


    impression of him, though...''


    "I''m Mr. Crawford''s subordinate. Mr. Crawford asked me to be here. If you continue to take photos of


    us, I''ll have to take action," Warren said with a cold expression on his face. Of course, he knew about


    Mavis.
