The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 260

The kiss lasted a long time, stirring a flurry of tiny sparks within Percival that threatened to engulf his sanity.

His slender fingers traced a path across Vivienne’s skin.

Vivienne felt a sudden heat surge through her body. After snapping back to reality, she lifted her leg and kicked in Percival’s direction.

“Ouch!”

Percival winced. “Vivienne, are you trying to murder your husband?”

Vivienne’s cheeks flushed a deep shade of red as embarrassment flickered across her delicate face. She adjusted the neckline of her dress that had been pulled open. “Mr. Wolf! You’ve crossed the line!”

Had she been spoiling Percival too much recently?

His boldness was escalating, and he was daringly venturing further and further.

Just as she was contemplating how to teach Percival a lesson, she noticed his gaze fall on her chest.

Vivienne lifted her hand to slap him, only to have it gently held by Percival.

“Stop.”

He reached out to grasp the pendant hanging around Vivienne’s neck.

It had been revealed during their playful tussle.

He reached to his own neck, pulling out another pendant that was identical to hers, and held them together.

The two halves of the pendant, when joined together, formed a key.

Vivienne furrowed her brows. “A key?”

Percival’s deep, alluring eyes narrowed slightly. They both knew each other had a piece of the pendant, but they had never thought that when put together, they would form a key.

He fell silent for a moment, then asked, “Did your mother leave anything that needed to be locked up?”

Vivienne shook her head. “No.”

Her mother had only told her where to find the potion.
