Lanie added, “If Ms. Luca finds out that you were just exaggerating, be careful as you might get beaten


    up."


    "What are you talking about, Lanie? Ms. Luca isn''t going to beat me up! No, Ms. Luca will never beat


    us!" Tommy swung his little fists and said. He had never been beaten by their mother before since he


    was young.


    It was the same for Lanie and Rainie.


    Her mother treated them like treasure. How could she beat them?


    Lanie shook his head helplessly when he looked at the smug look on Tommy''s face.


    People always said that Lanie resembled their father while Rainie resembled their mother. What about


    Tommy?


    His smugness did not resemble either of their parents.


    If it were not for Lanie seeing their mother get pregnant and give birth to Tommy, he would have


    suspected his younger brother was adopted and he had nothing to do with them.


    Upstairs.


    Luca came to the guest room. Vivian did not lock the door. She peeped through the door and saw


    Vivian packing her stuff.


    "Vivian, why are you packing?" Luca immediately entered the room.


    Vivian stopped and smiled at Luca. "I''ve been disturbing you for too long. Besides, isn''t the school


    semester starting soon? It''ll be more convenient for me to move back."


    "Vivian..." Luca could see that the smile on Vivian''s face was slightly reluctant. She could not help but


    frown.


    "Hey, I''ve settled the matter. He''s not going to disturb me anymore once I go back there. Besides, it''s


    an hour''s drive from here to the college. I wouldn''t want to waste most of my time in the car." Vivian


    forced a smile as she did not want Luca to worry about her.


    "Have you really let it go?" Luca''s brows furrowed even deeper. The brighter the smile on Vivian''s face,


    the more upset her heart would be.


    "To be honest, I haven''t, but it''s over." Women knew each other the most. Vivian knew she could not


    conceal her feelings from Luca.


    "Then." Luca paused for a moment.


    “After I left T Corporation today, I went to the courier express store and mailed the signed agreement


    back to Russia. I even contacted mywyer and told him to handle the procedure of auctioning the vi


    and the donation after he receives the agreement," said Vivian.


    Her family was wealthy. Hence, Vivian was not nning to take the money gained from auctioning the


    vi.


    Vivian did not want to keep the things that Gordan refused to keep. After all, it would remind her how


    much Gordan, the man she fell in love with, despised her.


    After Vivian ced thest shirt into the suitcase, she smiled and said to Luca, "Luca, I''m officially


    starting a new life. Wish me luck."


    "I wish you live a life without worries one that''s filled with happiness," replied Luca. What Vivian needed


    the most was happiness now.


    A sentence came across Luca''s mind. When all the wrong people left one''s life, the right things would


    start to happen and a better life would be waiting for one.


    Vivian was about to start her new chapter of life.


    "Thank you." Vivian gave Luca a hug.


    Luca had helped her a lot the entire time. Vivian was truly grateful for everything she had done for her.


    "Okay. Don''t get all mushy on me. You''re just going back to your apartment. You''re not leaving A City."


    Luca patted Vivian''s shoulder and looked at the packed suitcase. Then, she said, "Spend another night


    here. You can go back tomorrow. I''ll let Warren send you back when he sends me to work tomorrow."


    "That''s not a good idea. It''s going to trouble you." Vivian shook her head.


    "Tommy doesn''t want you to leave. He might be upset all night if you leave tonight." Luca recalled how


    anxious Tommy looked just now. He was not putting on a show.


    He probably thought Vivian was upset, which was why she was in a hurry to leave. That was why


    Tommy was like a cat on hot bricks.


    Tommy was attentive, and he was sensitive to the adults'' emotions. However, he was still young, and


    he would not know what to do in some situations. That was why he eagerly asked for help when Luca


    came back.


    "I see..." Vivian was slightly wavering. She thought of Tommy''s cute little face, and she was reluctant to


    upset him.


    "I have no idea how Tommy found out that you met that person today. He''s worried that you got bullied.


    He thought you were in a bad mood, and that''s why you want to move out. The kid is still young, so he


    didn''t know what to do either. There was nothing he could do but feel anxious as he waited downstairs.


    Maybe you should stay another night and talk to him. Tell him that you''re fine. Then, let me give you a


    lift back to your apartment tomorrow morning. The semester hasn''t started yet. There''s no need to


    hurry, right?" Luca convinced her.


    "Okay." Vivian did not want to see Tommy upset either. She was touched to know from Luca that the


    child cared so much about her.


    Luca smiled as she had sessfully convinced Vivian. Then, she said, "Come on, let''s go down.


    Dinner will be ready soon."


    "Oh my, it''ste. I was nning to help Aunt Neile in the kitchen after packing!" Vivian eximed. She


    nced at the time. It was already seven o''clock in the evening.


    “Aunt Neile has probably finished preparing dinner," replied Luca as they made their way down the


    stairs.

    "I didn''t notice it was already thatte. Is Mr. Crawfording home for dinner tonight?" Vivian asked.


    She thought she should thank Luke too.


    If it were not for him who let her stay here, she would have suffered from depression from staying alone


    in the apartment.


    Although Vivian’s mood had not improved much these days, she had a few kids to keep herpany.


    It made her feel much better.


    Vivian loved children, especially obedient children like Luke’s kids.


    "No. Mr. Crawford is busy with work these days," said Luca. She received a text from Luke telling her


    that he had to work overtime today.


    "I see." Vivian nodded.


    The two of them headed downstairs. Tommy came up to them. He stared at Luca and Vivian with his


    ck, round eyes. "Ms. Vivian, are you still moving out?"


    "Yes. I’m moving out tomorrow. The semester is about to start." Vivian squatted down to Tommy’s eye


    level and looked him in the eye. She smiled and said, "I’m getting ready for school. Tommy, isn’t your


    school reopening soon as well?"


    "But I don’t want you to leave. Can’t you continue to stay here?" Tommy tugged on Vivian’s sleeves,


    telling her how reluctant he was to see her leave.


    Vivian exchanged nces with Luca. She did not know if she should cry orugh. The child really did


    not want her to leave.


    "I have to go to school every day. That''s why I have to move out and return to my apartment. Besides,


    we can see each other during the holidays," said Vivian. Vivian remembered the first time she saw


    Tommy. He was still a baby in Luca''s arms.


    Although the child was still young back then, he had already revealed his talents innguages. He was


    nice as pie.


    "Ms. Vivian, when will you be having your holidays?" Tommy asked again. His little brows were


    furrowed as he was worried Vivian would get depressed.


    "The same time you have your school holidays." Vivian lifted her hand and smoothened out Tommy''s


    furrowed brows. "Hey, I''ll still be in A City. It''s not like we''re not going to see each other again."
