The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 281

Pival stood aside, listening to their familiar chatter with a look of utter displeasure on his face.

He had thought Aaron looked familiar from the moment he laid eyes on him, but he couldn’t quite place where he’d seen him before.

Now that Aaron and Vivienne were standing together, it became abundantly clear. The young man was practically a male carbon copy of Vivienne in his choice of attire

They were both clad in casual t–shirts and jeans, which was a stark contrast to the formal attire of everyone else at the banquet

Without having been told, one could easily mistake them for a couple. Their outfits were perfectly coordinated.

“Vivienne “Percival squeezed out through gritted teeth while draping an arm around Vivienne’s shoulders. Is this another one of your friends?”

The word ‘another was dripped with an undeniable hint of jealousy

How many other friends did she have that he didn’t know about?

And why were they all male friends?

Vivienne didn’t attempt to shake off Percival’s arm. She instead offered him a small, nonchalant laugh

“Yes. A friend” She confirmed

She then turned to Aaron, introducing Percival with a straightforward, “My fiancé.”

Percival was taken aback by her blunt honesty. He was pleasantly surprised that she had acknowledged him and their relationship so openly.

Feeling reassured by Vivienne’s acknowledgment, he tightened his hold around her and greeted Aaron with a beaming smile: “Nice to meet you. I’m Percival.”

His attitude towards Aaron did a complete 180, all thanks to Vivienne’s honesty

Aaron’s gaze darted between the pair as his eyes dimmed with an array of complex emotions

News of Vivienne and Percival’s engagement was not widely known. Only a select few within their inner circle were aware

The media had only reported on Percival’s engagement, describing his fiancé as a simple country girl.

The news of their engagement in Havenwood had been suppressed.
