Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3304

Vivian froze for a moment. She hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded in acknowledgment.

She was confused. Why had Luca not told her that Gordan was around? If she had known, she definitely would not have come.

“You two are in the past. Are you really going to avoid it for the rest of your life?” asked Luca.

“Besides your university friends, you’ll inevitably have mutual acquaintances with him. Vivian, you need to take that step forward. Be brave. Don’t let this mess with your emotions or your social life. Running away won’t solve anything. You’ve got to learn to face it.”

Vivian pressed her lips tightly together.

She had shamefully run away after the divorce. However, it was just to make herself feel better. She had not really thought too much about it.

Luca continued, “And knowing how sensitive you are, I figured if I told you ahead of time that Gordan was here, you might have misunderstood that I didn’t want you to come or that we chose him over you.

"The truth is, adult life isn’t full of those kinds of childish games. Mr. Norton is a key partner of Luke’s, someone we can’t do without. And you’re just as important to us. We don’t want to lose either of you. You get what I’m saying, right, Vivian?”

“I get it. I was just overthinking things.” Vivian let out a sigh, grabbed Luca’s hand, and added, “Sorry for making it awkward with my doubts earlier.”

“It’s not your fault. I totally understand. But honestly, A City isn’t that big. No matter where you go, you’re bound to run into Gordan. No one was at fault in that marriage. You two just weren’t right for each other. So, don’t dwell on it too much.”

Luca gently patted her head, then stood up and took a gift box out of a drawer. She sat back down on the couch and handed the box to Vivian.

“You came just in time! This is a gift from Nina to you. You said you had class and couldn’t take time off to attend her wedding, but you did send a really nice gift, so this is her return gift to you.”

Vivian smiled as she took the box. “Thanks. To be honest, it’s not that I couldn’t take time off. It’s just like you guessed. I didn’t want to run into Gordan. His mouth is way too sharp, and seeing him would’ve made me really uncomfortable.”

Luca thought for a moment. Did Gordan even show up at the wedding?

It seemed like he did. It also seemed like he was pretty popular with the single ladies there.

As for how he responded to those women who tried to flirt with him, Luca could not quite remember. Her attention was not on him at all that day.

“You’ve got to face both your past and your future. Don’t let Gordan defeat you!” said Luca. Then, she changed the subject. “So, what do you think of this gift? Nina said you can exchange it if you don’t like it.”

“Let me take a look.” Vivian smiled as she opened the gift box. It was a Chanel bag.

As Percy’s wife, Nina had definitely spent a lot on these gifts.

Vivian happily took out the bag. “What girl wouldn’t love a Chanel bag?”

“It’s gorgeous,” Luca complimented, smiling as she watched Vivian admire the bag.

“Did everyone get the same bag?” asked Vivian.

“No.” Luca shook her head. “If everyone got the same one, there wouldn’t be enough in stores across the country. But all the gifts are of similar value. Some are bags, and some are skincare or makeup. Guests can choose what they like.

"Of course, Nina picked out something special for close friends. She thought this bag would be perfect for you, especially since it’s not too flashy for university.”

“This bag is perfect! I can totally use it for university.” Vivian happily stroked the bag.

She could have bought the bag herself. Still, when it was a gift from a friend, it had a whole different meaning.

“I’m glad you like it,” said Luca.

“I love it.” Vivian nodded, carefully putting the bag back in its box. She was really happy with the gift.

Luca offered, “Why don’t you stay for dinner tonight?”

“Is he staying too?” asked Vivian
