<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Vivian sighed. She had known beforehand that there would be an incredibly handsome guy present at this camping trip.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">But with Zachary tagging along, how was she supposed to tantly flirt with handsome guys?</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“All right, no worries. After all, the more the merrier.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Given that George was so keen on bringing Zachary and Vivian together, she, as Vivian’s best friend, didn’t feel it was right to interfere.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Will you guys be taking a ride togetherter?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Mommy, I want to be in the same car with you and Eli,” said Jonathan.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was well aware that if he took a car ride with Vivian, she would surely bicker non–stop with Zachary throughout the journey.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Ceci, I also wanted to share a ride with you.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">After Vivian finished speaking, she turned to Zachary, who was not far away, and said, “You drive your own car, the rest of us will ride together in one vehicle.”</font></font>Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing this, Zachary’s handsome brows slightly furrowed. “Got it.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Once Vivian and Jonathan had gotten into the car, the three women quickly struck up a conversation. In no time at all, they had grown familiar with each other.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The drive to Redbud Hill took them two hours.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Early on, Eric had already sent them his location.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He was currently residing in a private motel, a ce untouched by tourists. He didn’t have to worry about being spotted by fans.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Finally, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain. Looking into the distance, the hillside was covered in redbuds, a sight too beautiful for words.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Wow, it’s so beautiful,” Lucille and Vivian both eximed in surprise.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Cecilia quickly pulled out her phone to take a picture.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary and Sven were standing by the car, their faces filled with confusion. “What’s so beautiful about this? It’s just a mix of red and green.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Sven also didn’t understand why women were so fond of these flowers.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary watched as the women took photos, and the children joining in the fun. Bored, he sauntered over to Sven and asked, “Are you Calvin’s men?”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">At that, Sven replied, “I used to be.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Zachary had looked into Sven before. He wasn’t some small–time figure, and it was one thing for him to</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Do you want to switch jobs and work for me? Whatever you need, I can provide.” Zachary was merely testing Sven.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He couldn’t possibly steal the bodyguard of the one who saved his life.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He had assumed that Sven, being the person he was, wouldn’t stand up to any form of temptation. However, to his surprise, Sven merely gave him a nonchnt nce and said, “Thank you, but Ick nothing.”</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Upon hearing this, Zachary found the man even more inscrutable.</font></font>
<font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Why did he choose to stay by Cecilia’s side then? Does he like her? It couldn’t be, could it? Cecilia has two kids, and she’s about to give birth to two more soon…</font></font>
Sven seemed to sense the unsavory thoughts running through Zachary’s mind and, for once, bothered to exin.
“It’s been a long while since I’ve spent my days as leisurely as I have these past few years. I truly relish this tranquil life I’m leading now.”
There was one more thing he didn’t voice out.
Perhaps it was because Cecilia treated him not as a subordinate, but as a friend, and there were two kids who affectionately referred to him as Mr. Sven.
He seldom felt that anyone treated him as a friend or considered him as family anymore.
Upon hearing his response, Zachary didn’t give it much thought. His attention was quickly drawn to a figure on the hillside. The man was tall, with a brownplexion, and even though his face was hidden behind a mask, an intense energy radiated from him.
At that moment, the three women who were initially captivated by the redbuds, found themselves drawn to this man instead.
“What the heck? So, they’re not just here to admire redbuds, but to fangirl too?”
Zachary strode over briskly, his irritation intensifying when he saw Vivian’s smitten expression.
Not far away, it wasn’t just Vivian–Lucille’s eyes sparkled as well.
Was the man before them truly the superstar, Eric?
He was surprisingly even more handsome in person than on TV! This trip was truly worth it.
