Female Novel
Chapter 2020
Luca had never given up the thought of saving her daughter all along.
However, it was only now that she realized that there was no way she could do this alone.
She could not depend on her strength. There was no way she could fight against Abel alone. Everyword and every move she made was made known to Abel.
Luca needed support from others so that she could fight him. However, who could support her?
Luca knew she could only do this alone. There was no one else...
Knock, knock. someone was knocking on the door. Luca lifted her head in grievance and suppressedthe urge to cry. Only then did she ask, "Who is it?"
“Luca, it's me, Vivian.” Vivian's voice came from outside the door.
Luca sniffed and walked to the door. She opened the door and said, “Vivian, what's the matter?”
Vivian was carrying a set of clothes in her hands. She gave Luca a shy smile and explained, “I thoughtyou might need these, so I came to give them to you. They're all new. Don't worry.”
Luca took the clothes Vivian handed to her. It was a set of warm pajamas.
"Thank you. Sorry to bother you tonight.” Luca thanked her.
"Don't mention it. You're our honorable guest. This is just something I should be doing,” Vivian smiledand said. Then, she noticed that something was wrong with Luca's expression. Her eyes were red andpuffy, so she asked, "Luca, were you crying?”
"No." Luca shook her head, pretending as if nothing had happened.
She had been pretending to be strong in front of others for a long time. It was an easy task for her.
"But your eyes are red. You can tell me if you feel upset. I promise I won't tell anyone about it.” Vivianthought Luca was worried that she would reveal her secret, so she gave Luca her word again.
It was because she had no other choice that she told Ray about Luca's matter the last time.
"It's true. I feel so happy today. T Corporation got the project, and everyone's efforts paid off. Whywould I cry on such a happy day? If I'm going to cry, it'd be tears of happiness,” Luca said a lot to makeVivian believe in her.novelbin
"Really?” Vivian looked at Luca with her blue eyes.
"Yes.” Luca continued to explain when Vivian refused to believe her, "My eyes are red because I'mfeeling sleepy and my eyes are dry.”
“I see. Well, I should leave. Goodnight." Vivian thought she was disturbing Luca and felt embarrassed.
Luca shook her head. She did not intend to continue to explain to Vivian even though she hadmisunderstood her.
"I'm leaving first. Oh, if there's anything you need, just pick up the phone receiver at your bedside andpress one. The maids who are on duty will pick up the call. And the guards on duty will answer the callif you press two." Vivian turned around and left after that.
Luca closed the door and looked at the pajamas she was holding. She pondered for a moment andchanged into the pajamas. Then, she lay down on the bed.
She would still have to stay in this villa even if her thoughts were all over her mind.
Moreover, Luke would not be making any moves. Hence, she did not have to speculate what Luke wasgoing to do. She closed her eyes and planned to take a nap.
Luca had to force herself to rest for a while no matter what.
She was stressed out all day long, and she needed to rest.
In the villa's living room.
Luke and Ray were discussing something
Vivian walked toward them. Ray asked, "Have you finished making the arrangements?"
"Yes. I've already handed the pajamas to Mr. Doyle and Luca. Brother Luke, I asked the maid to leavea set of new pajamas for you on the sofa in your room. You can change into that later," said Vivian.
Luke looked up, and Luca came across his mind. He asked, "How's Luca doing?"
"Luca? She looks tired. And her eyes were slightly red. She told me that she was sleepy. I didn't sayanything much. I just gave her the pajamas and left," answered Vivian.
Her eyes were red?
Luca must be distraught, thinking of what he would do next.
However, they were still aboard, so they could not work things out now. That was why she kept onworrying.
Vivian noticed that Luke remained silent, so she asked, "Brother Luke, the maid has prepared supper.
Would you like to have some?"
Luke shook his head and replied, "No, thank you."
"Alright then. I'm going to bed. The two of you can continue talking." Vivian smiled, then she stood upand left.
Luke watched Vivian leave from behind. He asked, "Has Gordan proceeded with the formalities?"
"No." Ray's expression turned gloomy when Luke mentioned Ray. "I don't know what he's up to. Thelawyer said he'd like to talk to Vivian."
"You don't want Vivian to have anything to do with Gordan again," said Luke. It was not a question butan affirmative sentence.
Ray nodded and replied, "It wasn't easy for her to make such a decision. Since she's leaving, then I'llhave to make sure that she draws a line between her and Gordan."
Ray only did that to protect Vivian's safety.
Who would possibly know what Gordan was up to?
Gordon hated ugly women. Even so, he was still the one who approached Vivian first.
No matter how Vivian devoted herself to him and treated him kindly, Gordon never failed to show thathe detested her.
However, when Vivian asked for a divorce, Gordan did not agree with it immediately. Instead, he wasnow trying to get the chance to discuss it with Vivian.
Was Gordan not satisfied enough even when Vivian asked for nothing in return? Could it be that hewanted them to compensate him for the past few years of moral damage?
In this relationship, Gordon was forced to stay beside Vivian. He was definitely at a disadvantage. Evenso, Vivian had also spent her youth and spirit on this relationship. Had she not made sacrifices too?
That was why Ray would not allow Vivian to meet Gordan and talk about it no matter what. It was tostop him from hurting her again.
“Previously, you had to go to great lengths to make him agree to the marriage. Now, Vivian is willing toleave unconditionally, but he's delaying things. Tell me, what is Gordan up to?" Ray asked.
Luke shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure about that."
Luke only helped Gordan the last time because he owed him a favor.
Otherwise, judging from Luke's personality, he would not have interfered in such things.
After all, he had nothing to do with this.
This time, Gordon did not say anything, so Luke could not be bothered about it.
"I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that Gordan will get divorced as soon as possible. Vivian toldme that she'd like to travel abroad to move on from this and live a fulfilling life." Ray toyed with thecigar. His good-looking face was stiff and stern because of Vivian's affair.
Ray thought of keeping Vivian beside him. Since he had a strong background, he could support her. Hecould do anything he wanted.
However, Vivian seemed to be slightly different from before after what had happened between her andGordan. She was looking for something different. She wanted to enrich her life instead of staying hereand being protected by her family.
Ray knew he could not change her mind, so he began to help with the arrangements.
"Where is she going?" Luke asked.
"Your country," Ray told him about Vivian's choice.
