The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 180

The next day.

When Vivienne awoke, Percival had already prepared breakfast.

After seeing the strawberry cake on the table, Vivienne's eyes lit up and she quickly walked over. "Strawberry cake?"

Percival handed her a slice of the freshly cut cake. His deep, affectionate eyes were glowing, showcasing his intentions to do nothing but please her. "Try it. Do you like it?"

Vivienne took a bite and nodded. "It tastes just like it used to. Your cooking is still so good."

After receiving her compliment, the smile on Percival's lips deepened.

He had initially planned to make the cake for her in the afternoon. He thought that having cake in the morning might be a little heavy. But considering her low spirits the day before, he decided to wake up early to prepare it.

Her satisfied expression made him feel content.

"Don't eat too much in the morning. I'll make it for you every day." Percival gently stroked her head. His slender fingers gently threaded through her beautiful hair. His voice was soft and full of love. "My girl, whatever you want, I'll make sure you have it."

Vivienne looked up at him. The morning sunlight highlighted his handsome features. She had to admit that he was incredibly good-looking.

He seemed to have inherited all the best features from his ancestors. His face seemed to have been expertly sculpted, so much so that it drew people in at first glance.

Suddenly, she felt that not canceling their engagement wasn't such a bad idea. At least, seeing his face every day would certainly lift her spirits.

Her gaze fell on his cool lips, and a small flame seemed to flicker deep within her. She put down the cake in her hand and suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck. "Mr. Wolf, don't tempt me."

Percival fell silent.

When had he ever tempted her?

Before he could speak, Vivienne tiptoed and kissed him. The sweet taste of cake still lingered in her mouth.

Percival wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, his voice husky as he said, "Vivienne... It's you who's tempting me."

"Really?" Vivienne looked up at him with her bewitching eyes. "And are you letting me?"

Percival’s flame had been ignited, and he pushed her against the wall. Instead of answering her, he kissed her passionately.

The kiss lasted for a long time before Percival, satisfied, finally let go of Vivienne.

Vivienne's face was flushed. She tidied her disheveled hair, her voice now slightly awkward. "I need to go to school."

She must be crazy. Why did she always want to throw herself at Percival?

She was sure she didn't have true feelings for him.

She was only sticking with the engagement because he was Mr..Wolf, her mother's apprentice.

She wouldn't admit that she seemed to be falling for him.

Never!

...

Cloudcrest High School.

After the students of Class Eighteen resumed their regular curriculum, their academic progress was back on track.

The college entrance test was in just over a week, so all the students were in review mode.

Today was Friday, and the results of the last quiz were out.

Vivienne looked at the scores of the entire class and was very pleased.

As she entered the classroom with the papers in hand, the students of Class Eighteen stood up and respectfully greeted her. "Good morning, teacher."

Their voices were full of vigor and youthful energy.

Vivienne placed the papers on her desk, her expression serious as she looked at the students. "The quiz results are out."

The students tensed up at her serious demeanor.

Vivienne scanned their faces before picking up the papers and distributing them. "Ivy, Literature A, English A, Math A, Science A, last in class, 200th in grade."

Ivy, sitting at the back of the classroom, had a bad feeling when she heard her name. When Vivienne announced that she was the last in class, she felt disheartened.

However, hearing that she was 200th in the grade was a surprise.
