Chapter 3

Stellan hesitated before finally throwing his phone over and saying, "You'd better take a look yourself."

Vivianne's face instantly turned pale as she looked at it.

That was a post on Kiara's social media. There were no caption on it, only a pair of hands clasped together. The hand belonged to her and there was a ring on the ring finger.

As for the other hand, even if it turned into ashes, Vivianne could still recognize it as Lucas!

"They ...." She stared at Stellan in disbelief.

He nodded in awkward and said, "I can't recognize them. It just so happened that the restaurant where they had dinner belonged to my friend. Vivianne, did you break up with Lucas?"

Her throat choked and she did not know how to answer.

All of this happened too unexpectedly and she did not even have a chance to break up. Now it seemed that she was dumped, right?

Her condition was so bad that Stellan did not dare to speak more.

The ward fell into a deathly silence until Vivianne's phone vibrated a few times.

She opened it blankly, but the moment she read the message, her whole body froze.

[Sorry, I regretted it, so I decided to stay.]

[Vivianne, I want to take back the ring Lucas gave you.]

[A renovation team will come to our house in a few days. Orchid Tower No. 7 will be our new house. You should know what to do.]

It was from Kiara.

She used Lucas' WhatsApp to send those messages.

She even thoughtfully sent a photo of her and Lucas kissing under candlelight.

Vivianne's breathing stopped in a while.

She covered her mouth tightly as tears fell down uncontrollably, wetting the screen and her finger.

Stellan was so frightened that he hurriedly handed over the tissue. "What's wrong? What's wrong? If you have something uncomfortable, let's talk about it and deal with it properly. Don't cry," he said.

She did not want others to see her miserable appearance, so she buried herself in the blanket and gritted her teeth to surpress her sadness and disappointment.

Her fiancé proposed to someone else without her knowing ....

Was there anything more absurd and ridiculous than this?

It took Vivianne a long time to calm down. She asked Stellan to help with the discharge procedures and asked him to contact her biological parents as soon as possible. Then, she took a taxi home.

To be precise, to the Cannavale manor.

The new hostess had come in person to chase everyone away. No matter how thick-skinned Vivianne was, she could not stay there any longer. She had to go back immediately to pack up her things and move out.

The manor was empty.

Lucas' father, Hendry Cannavale, was hospitalized due to a sudden heart attack a few days ago. Lucas' mother, Lilliana Cannavale and the caregiver went to the hospital to accompany and take care of him.

In the room, Vivianne sat on her bed in a daze, feeling her heart broken into pieces.

There were traces of Lucas in every corner of this house.

In the small garden, he planted her favorite flowers and swing set by himself.

The living room was covered with a long rabbit velvet carpet because she loved to go barefoot.

When she first lost her adoptive parents, she could not sleep well, so Lucas gave up his room and communicated with the designer about the details of the decoration, then every night thereafter was sweet for her.

The more beautiful the past was, the more piercing the reality was.

She did not know how long she had been sitting there before she got up and decided to leave. She did not have much stuff with her, only some documents related to going abroad and a few sets of clothes to change into.

Just like coming to this house alone, when she left, she should also be clean and tidy.

As soon as Vivianne reached the staircase, she heard the sound of a car driving in from the yard and the door was pushed open from outside.

Her breath caught in her throat and she just stared helplessly as Lucas and Kiaraa walked in hand in hand.

The living room was so quiet.

Until Lucas' indifferent voice rang out. "Why are you here?"
