Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3246

Ray felt a bit disoriented. It had been a long time since he had heard Vivian act affectionately with him.

As he listened to Vivian’s voice, he called out, “Sis.”

Vivian smiled and replied, “Ray, I miss home.”

“If you want to come back, you can do it anytime,” replied Ray. He did not agree with her decision to study in A City initially.

However, Vivian was feeling down back then, and he could not argue with her, so he let her go.

“I’m not planning to come back right now. I'm just saying I miss it. A City is great, the university is great, and my classmates are great. I’m doing well here, but I’m not used to not having family around,” explained Vivian. She genuinely loved A City. That was why she chose to come.

“When’s your next break?” asked Ray.

“Well, in A City, the next break isn’t until February next year, so I have a while before I can go back. I just wanted to hear your voice because I miss home, that’s all.”

“I’ll make time to visit you,” suggested Ray.

Running a family business was not easy. If he let his guard down, others could overtake them.

If it were an ordinary business, being surpassed would not be a big deal, but their situation was different. The entire family could be at risk if they were outdone.

“Don’t worry about it, Ray. Just focus on managing the family business. I’m fine here,” Vivian quickly added.

Moreover, she had another reason for not wanting him to come—Gordan.

If Ray came to A City, he would definitely come looking for trouble with him.

Since she had no connection with Gordan anymore, she did not want her brother to get involved.

Ray let out a sigh. “Vivian, are you worried I’ll hurt Gordan?”

“What? No!” Vivian denied it.

“I know you still see Gordan sometimes. Have you really moved on?” asked Ray.

Vivian froze. No one around her ever mentioned Gordan’s name. Only Ray, with his straightforwardness, would dare bring it up.

“Ray, I can only tell you I’m trying to move on,” replied Vivian. If she had really moved on, she would not be losing sleep over this.

It had been a long time since she had lost sleep over Gordan.

She used to think she had gotten over him, but what happened today made her realize she had not fully let go.

Ray was silent for a while.

“Ray?” Vivian called softly, worried he might be disappointed in her.

“Yeah,” Ray finally responded.

Then, she heard him say, “Hang in there. You can do it.”

"Yeah, I can do it. I’ll be home for the break," Vivian said with a smile. On this sleepless night, having Ray's comfort was really nice.

"Alright, take care of yourself over there," reminded Ray.

"Got it," replied Vivian. Just as she was about to hang up, Ray added, “Oh, I’ve arranged some martial arts classes for you. It’s at a studio near your school, so it’ll be convenient for you to attend.”

"Ray!" Vivian was stunned. Why the sudden class arrangements? Realizing what might have prompted it, she quickly said, “You found out about what happened today? Don’t blame Luca. It wasn't her fault. It was my fault.”

"I know, I’m not blaming her," explained Ray, understanding her concern. “I know the situation. Even if someone is to blame, it wouldn’t be Ms. Craw. Don’t worry.”

Vivian heaved a sigh in relief. “That’s good to hear.”

“I’ll handle this with Luke, so you don’t need to worry. But you have to attend martial arts classes. If you knew martial arts, you and Luca wouldn’t have been taken away like that,” Ray said firmly. He was strict with her.

Since she chose to leave his protection and refused bodyguards, she had to learn to protect herself.
