After ending the call, Vivienne was about to head out when she remembered something. She turned around, took out her suitcase, and packed a few sets of clothes.

“Percival got a little hurt, and I promised Richard I’d take care of him, so I decided to stay with him for a few days.” Vivienne said calmly.

“Oh, well…” Dorian hesitated a bit. “Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for a guy and a girl to be alone together?”

He felt like someone else was about to eat the cabbage he had grown.

Vivienne fell silent.

Of course, she wasn’t moving into Percival’s house to develop feelings for him.
