Joe was speechless. He was just worried. Every man has a fool in his sleeve. He needed to sort it out in 3 days. If anything went wrong, the merciless and impartial William would not let him go easily. But now, he knew how to do it.
“I will send someone to watch closely on Alan. There’s no way that Six-ears just disappeared into nowhere.” Joe said angrily.
James rolled his eyes at him, “Don’t forget you are the one to blame. Idiot.”
“Screw you!” Joe was irritated and punched James, paying no attention to the people hidden around.
The next morning, Vivian woke up among fragrance in the house delicately prepared by John. She was kind of lost at first but when she saw the different ceiling and the soft and blue background, she felt refreshed. She was in the house that John had specially decorated for them. It was not that big as William’s manor or even the luxuriant place where she had spent four years with William. But this was not small either, which had been decorated according to her taste and the style she loved. It was warm and cozy with light blue color in the Mediterranean Style. How comfortable it was as if she could feel the sunshine on the seashore. She only mentioned it once to John accidentally. She was surprised he took it seriously and accomplished it perfectly in such a short time.
Knock! Knock!
Here comes the knock in a perfect volume.
Vivian quickly came to open the door.
“Good morning! Breakfast is served. May you a great day!” John said with a smile which was way warmer than sunshine.
Vivian had managed to forget William and anything else and only cared about the tasty breakfast, the good smell in the air and the considerate person in front of her. She finally had a break to let go all her pressure, which had been on her for so long.
She stretched and washed up. Then she sniffed and asked, “Muffin?”
“You’ve got a good nose!” John looked up in surprise while placing the fried eggs and bacon in place on the table. He said, “It’s my first time baking muffins. I only saw my family did it before. Have a try and enjoy them if they taste good. If not, then forget about them.”
Vivian smiled and came over to the oven immediately, “They must taste delicious with the good smell. I don’t buy that it’s your first time baking.”
“Is it a compliment?” John laughed.
“I should be more straightforward.” Vivian sniggered.
They smiled at each other. How harmonious and comfortable they were together. But it was soon interrupted. John took the muffins out of the oven and came over to sit beside Vivian when the phone rang. John was stunned for a second. He had turned off the phone so as to enjoy a great morning with Vivian without calls from his parents. Why did the phone ring?
“It seems to be the telephone!” Vivian looked towards the sofa.
“Enjoy your breakfast. I will go and check who it is.” John laid down his chopsticks.
Vivian felt kind of frustrated. It should be from John’s parents calling so early in the morning.
