Chapter 323 There Will Be Better Days to Come
The next day.
The French window in the bedroom was open.
On a winter morning, the white fog was thick and the breeze
blew in, freezing Viola’s face.
Viola turned around and hugged Ormand.
Another absurd night passed. Viola looked particularly tired.
She was still sleepy.
The alarm clock on the nightstand rang.
It was a big day for Sherlyn. She would be finishing her filming
today. Viola had to get up early and rush over to take a look and
to send her blessings as well as gifts for the completion of
Sherlyn’s filming.
Viola forced herself to wake up and wash up.

Ormand woke up as well. His long, curly eyelashes trembled slightly. His eyes were half open, and his eyebrows were gently
furrowed.
All Ormand saw was darkness with no light at all.
Ormand didn’t realize anything. He asked, “Viola, did you close
the window? It’s a little dark in the room.”
Viola was taking care of her skin in front of the makeup table.
When she heard this, her hand froze.
“No, the window is open. What’s wrong?” Viola said, turning
to look at the open window.
Ormand’s heart sank.
Can’t I see it again?
How long will it take to recover this time?
“I’m fine. Maybe I was a little tired last night and I wasn’t fully
awake yet. I’ll sleep for some more while,” Ormand answered
calmly.
He closed his eyes and quietly shrank back into the bed.
Viola chuckled. She sat down by his bedside and gently rubbed
his face with her palm. ‘All day long, you keep shouting that
you want to eat me. It seems that the evil big landlord will also
be exhausted.”
Ormand smiled, keeping his eyes closed all the while. “Go do your work. You don’t have to leave me breakfast. I’ll make it
myself when I get up later.”
“Alright, thank you for your hard work. I’ll let you rest for two days to recover your vitality. Don’t keep thinking about eating me!”
“Got it.” Ormand nodded obediently.
Viola held his face and gave him a big kiss before getting up and going on with her makeup.
It only took ten minutes for Viola to put on her daily makeup.
When Viola was done, Ormand was still asleep. He seemed to be sleeping soundly. She did not want to wake him up and left the room quietly.
Viola walked out of the Viorin with Jimmy. Just as they reached the garage door, she suddenly stopped.
“What’s wrong, Ms. Zumthor?” Jimmy was puzzled.
Viola’s expression was grave as she repeated Ormand’s words
in her mind. ‘Something is wrong with him.”
“Ms. Zumthor, who is wrong?”
Viola didn’t have time to answer him. She turned around and
ran back in the direction of the Viorin.
“Orin!”
Viola went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door.
Ormand, who had been sleeping on the big bed, was gone. The room was empty. It seemed there was no one in it.
Viola couldn’t figure it out. It had not been long since she left.
She wondered how it could be possible that Ormand had got up
so soon.
“Orin?”
As Viola shouted, she touched the bed sheet with her hand and
found it was still warm. It was clear Ormand had just got up.

The entire villa was exceptionally quiet. No one answered her.
Viola searched every room, but Ormand was nowhere to be
seen.
How could Ormand go out so quickly?
Why didn’t I see him on my way back?
Viola called Todd at once. “Has Orin gone to work?” she asked.
