Sweet Revenge

Chapter 119 As if caught in a dead end cycle

With regard to the baby, Vivienne had not yet thought about what she would tell Ladarius after she aborted it, although she had already made up her mind not to.

The possibility of a problem with the formula, however, gave her a chance, a chance to get away with it perfectly and to provoke Ladarius’ guilt and pity.

But before that –

She had asked Louis to meet her in a café, a public place where she could feel at ease.

Louis arrived late, not looking in the best of spirits and with droopy eyelids, but at least he was there.

Probably because she already knew very well what kind of person he was, Vivienne now looked at him in a way that made him look very sick, but even if he was going to die, he should be put to good use before he did.

“I thought you said you didn’t have time to see each other less often these days?”

Carelessly, he picked out a cube of sugar and put it in the coffee cup in front of him, one by another.

Six pieces in all, before stopping and stirring gently with a spoon, “What, miss me so soon?”

A teasing smile escaped the corners of his lips as he picked up his coffee cup and took a long, hard sip, followed by a gasp of contentment.

Vivienne stared at him unblinkingly and waited for him to settle down completely before saying, “The recipe you gave me, wasn’t it, something wrong?”

Her voice was soft and she spoke slowly, but her eyes were locked on him, fixed on him.

“The recipe? what recipe?” Lilting his eyelids, he didn’t seem to press on to what it was.

Seeing the way she was staring at him with her lips pursed tightly, Louis seemed to suddenly remember and came to his senses, “oh … you said that thing you were given last time.”
