The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 590

Dracon hesitated, the words on the tip of his tongue dying before they could be born. He had no choice but to heed Yorick's command.

Diana didn't even offer a word of concern before Dracon led her out.

Yorick glanced at Percival, then at Vivienne by his side, his gaze softening with a touch of tenderness. "My dear, how old are you now?" "Twenty," Vivienne replied.

Her twentieth birthday had passed, but she had never been one to celebrate. Birthdays always reminded her of her mother.

Thus, when Mr. Wolf suggested throwing her a birthday bash, she declined.

But she decided future birthdays could be celebrated.

The thought of all the years gone by without her mother's homemade strawberry cheesecake made her blood boil! All because Karen faked her death! From now on, she swore to indulge in strawberry cheesecake on her birthdays until she couldn't take another bite!

Despite her disdain for Dracon, she held a fondness for Yorick.

She felt an indescribable familiarity in Yorick, just like the first time she met Jasper.

Yorick clicked his tongue. "Putting up with this sourpuss for a boyfriend must be tough on you."

Vivienne chuckled. "It's not so bad; Mr. Wolf treats me well."

"A face like a block of ice, and you say he treats you well? Child, if that boy ever gives you trouble, you come straight to me. I'll make sure he regrets it," Yorick said with a deepening smile, his eyes shining with affection for Vivienne.

Percival could only sigh to himself.

No matter the company, when Vivienne was around, he might as well have been invisible.

Well, he mused, who could blame him for being willingly outshone by her?
