The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 239

Ronald hastily handed his phone to Paula as if it were a ticking bomb, not wanting to hold it for even a second longer.

Paula, puzzled, took the phone, only to get an earful of Baron's fury. "Are you out of your mind?! If you've got nothing better to do, stay at your own place! If you dare upset Vivienne again and get Old Richard on my case, don't even think about stepping foot in our mansion again!"

Paula's face turned ashen with fury, but she could not retaliate against Baron. She muttered an apology and hung up the call.

...

Third floor.

The Brooks family had arranged for Percival to stay next to Vivienne’s room. After he entered his room alone, Melissa and Ashley accompanied Vivienne into her room.

However, they didn't linger, exchanged a few words, and left, closing the door behind them.

But as Ashley was about to leave, she stretched her neck back in and emphasized rather ‘thoughtfully,’ "Don’t worry. We all know how much you despise Arabella. So even though she lived in this room before, we've replaced everything. Take your time settling in."

After saying that, she retracted her head as her gaze subtly swept over Percival's door. She then followed Melissa downstairs.

Arabella had lived here?

Ha!

Vivienne stood alone in the room, observing the layout and its furnishings.

Just from the room's layout, it was clear that Scott had made a significant effort for his long-lost daughter.

The room was spacious and well-lit; furthermore, all the furniture and bedding were obviously brand new. The balcony was filled with blooming flowers, and the vanity was filled with top-brand skincare products, as if they were unsure which one she preferred, so they just got them all.

The wardrobe was crammed full of luxury-brand women's clothing. It even included lingerie.

Seemingly unsure of her size, they had bought all sizes just in case.

Vivienne looked at the pile of pretty dresses in the wardrobe, her beautiful, pale face expressionless.

She picked the simplest dress and went into the bathroom.

The bathroom was spacious and had a whirlpool tub. Since she had plenty of time, she filled the tub and leisurely lay in it. She texted Draven while soaking, asking him to send her luggage over to the Brooks Mansion.

Then a message from Percival popped up on her phone. "Done bathing?"

Vivienne raised an eyebrow, replying, "No."

"No? You replied so fast."

"I’m soaking in the tub."

"Together."

"?"

What did that mean?

She stared intently at the bathroom door, wondering if Percival would really barge in. Should she hit him?

After a while, Percival texted back. "I'm also in the tub now."

Vivienne was at a loss.

She was overthinking.

But she did feel a little disappointed. She was expecting to hit him.

Percival texted again. "How long are you planning to stay here?"
