Vivian’s words are like the final straw to break the camel's back. John's eyes darkened for an instant, watching William take Vivian away. It seems that a flame in his heart has gone out.
William left with Vivian in his arms, as if there was no one else present. The party has not started yet, so their departure had attracted many people's attention.
Soon, what was more noticeable was the expression of John, the host of today's party.
Seeing that people were talking lively about what had happened just now, Mr. Sam pulled John out of the hall with a green look.
Haylee clenched her fists, feeling aggrieved, but finally followed them helplessly.
At the door of the hall, Vivian exhaled fiercely.
"What's wrong? Feeling uncomfortable?" William said sarcastically.
Vivian gave him a side glance but said nothing.
William stepped forward, suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch her jaw and said, "From now on, John has his wife. What a woman needs to do is to have some self-respect and not to trouble a man who already belongs to another woman. Understand?"
"You have known it quite early that I don't care. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sex with you when you just broke up with Angie. Am I right?" Vivian moved her chin slightly and stared at him angrily.
The expression in William's eyes changed and his sharp eyes and brows were stained with coldness. He frowned and stared at her stonily, "Vivian, why do you say something like that?"
"Is it wrong to follow your point? You are really hard to please!" Vivian snorted coldly and walked towards the car parked at the door.
William was depressed. He regretted what he said just now. But seeing that she was unhappy because of John's engagement, he was very uncomfortable. Any man wouldn't be happy about that, would he be?
After getting in the car, William wanted to apologize. But seeing that Vivian closed her eyes with an icy manner as if reluctant to speak, he did not say anything at last.
Finally, Vivian spoke first.
"William, don't ask me to come to such party in the future!" Vivian's voice was a little chilly.
The calmness that William had just held disappeared instantly.
He turned his head to look at Vivian with a long face, "Won't you tell me you still love John? So you're upset to see him getting married? Are you jealous?"
"Yes, I am sick at heart!" Vivian opened her bleary eyes slightly, with a mixture of complexity and sadness.
It made William feel oppressed.
Then William heard her complaining, "It has nothing to do with me whether John is married or not. I can bless him with a smile, but your attitude of not saying anything is really annoying. Also, I am not the Virgin Mary. It’s awful for me to see a woman who once framed me realize her dream and marries her beloved man!" Vivian fell into a rage with a scowl.
Actually, she was not angry about John's marriage, but that his bride was Haylee. What she hated most was not attending his engagement party, but William's sinister intentions.
William looked at her for a while, and then suddenly smiled.
His laughter grew louder and louder, and finally he almost laughed heartily.
Vivian was puzzled with a furrowed brow, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm happy!" William said.
Vivian glared at him. Then he reached out ambiguously to touch her neck, and blew airways into her ear, "Vivian, I'm very glad you didn't like John."
