Billionaire’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 52

Vivian glanced at her screen and saw Julian’s name. She glared at Emily, stuffed the test tube back

into Emily’s hand, and snapped, “Think it over, and don’t be silly Then, she turned around and walked

out.

“Where are you?” Julian asked directly.

Vivian said in an aggrieved voice, I’m in the lab. I’m trying to help you. Seraphina Jones won’t help you,

but I will. We put our hearts and souls into Prosperian Company, and I can’t see it finished.”

“Don’t say anything depressing. Just get ready. I’ll be right over to pick you up, Julian said hurriedly and

then hung up.

Staring blankly at the phone screen, Vivian walked back and glanced at the lab again.

Since Emily wouldn’t help her, Vivian decided to find another way. She had to think fo herself anyway.

Not long after, Julian’s car arrived at the gate of the laboratory. Vivian was waiting at the gate.

Vivian deliberately messed up her hair and pretended to have cried. With a tired and emaciated face,

she murmured, “Julian…”

Before she could speak, Julian stared at her in shock and blurted out, “What have you done to

yourself? Didn’t I tell you to get ready?”

Vivian closed the door of the passenger seat, burst into tears, and pouted, T… I really want to help you.

I know you’re anxious, and so am I. I came back to check to see if I could get the result sooner.”

“So the result is?” Julian asked nervously.

Vivian pursed her lips, shook her head, and sighed, Tve tried a lot, but you know… The formula of

essential oil is complex. A change in one of the ingredients can make a big difference in the flavor of

the perfume. What’s more, we don’t even know if it’s just one wrong ingredient or more than one…”

She looked aggrieved, but Julian seemed to be a little absent-minded. He said, “All right, Vivi, stop

talking about this. If it was that easy, we wouldn’t have been hamstrung by Seraphina for so long, and

she wouldn’t have been so arrogant. Now I’m going to take you to get someone, and there might be a

way

Vivian was stunned and she blurted out, “Who?”

Julian glanced at Vivian, shook his head, and said, “It’s… We still have some time. I’ll take you to get

dressed first. We gotta be careful.”

“Okay!” Vivian replied obediently and turned around to fasten her seat belt.

Julian’s annoyance was dispelled when he looked down at Vivian’s gentle face.

Undeniably, Vivian was beautiful. She appeared to be so feminine and pitiful that Julian’s heart

softened at the sight of her and the thought of her snuggling in his arms.

By contrast, Seraphina was aggressive.

Seraphina was also quite obedient, but she was very opinionated. This time, she betrayed Julian

without saying a word.

The thought of Seraphina made Julian irritable.

After Vivian fastened her seat belt, she found that the car had not started yet She looked up at Julian

confusedly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Julian grabbed Vivian’s chin with one hand and kissed her fiercely.

Henry’s sudden appearance changed Seraphina’s original plan, and she went straight back to the

Kingsview Villa.

It had only been a fight, but Seraphina was sore all over, which made her wonder how long it had been

since she’d had a regular workout. After being out of the Landon family, she was living such a peaceful

life as she was able to do what she wanted. However, Henry’s arrival today reminded her that no

matter how far away she was from the Landon family she was still one of them.

Seraphina was soaking in the bathtub. When she lifted her hand she saw a bruise on her lower arm

and decided to get some ointment applied later.

She raised her head and sighed. Thinking of the meeting with those two people today. it was really

boring.

She thought she would be angry and full of resentment, but after she actually sat down and had a

serious conversation with them, she realized that she just couldn’t get over

the old her.

What she couldn’t let go and what she couldn’t forget was what she had given.

She once dropped everything she had to give her heart and soul to someone and she thought she

would be loved equally, but she was cheated and it was so stu pid.

That was interesting and ridiculous.

Seraphina laughed out loud and shook her head as she thought about how stu pid she had been. The Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

warm water made her relax from body to heart. She stretched, closed. her eyes, tilted back, and felt

sleepy.

When Dashiell returned, he heard the sound in the bathroom, but he didn’t response to his call for

Seraphina. As he pushed the door open, he saw Seraphina leaning in the tub, her body sliding

downward,

Seraphina was slipping slowly. Her neck was about to dip into the water and her chin was touching the

surface, but still she did not wake up.

“Seraphina!” Dashiell called out, walked over in a few steps, and bent down to pick up Seraphina.

Dashiell stopped Seraphina from slipping, and she finally woke up.

Seraphina opened her eyes abruptly. Before she knew what had happened, she stared at the face in

front of her in surprise and muttered. “Dashiell? How could it be…”

Before she could finish her words, she immediately realized the situation she was in and wanted to

cover her breasts.

“You can’t soak any longer,” Dashiell said seriously.

Without saying a word, Dashiell held her in his arms, turned around, and strode out of the bathroom.

Seraphina was dumbfounded.

Now she was naked. Although Dashiell didn’t look at her, Seraphina was also. embarrassed.

When they passed the shelf, Dashiell took out a large bath towel, threw it on the bed, and put

Seraphina on the towel.

“I…” Seraphina touched the bed and was about to sit up, but she took a step slower than

him.

Dashiell pressed down directly. He was so tall that Seraphina fell backward out of inertia. On instinct,

she tried to grab hold of something.

As a result, Seraphina grabbed Dashiell’s collar, and Dashiell’s body pressed against Seraphina’s

tightly.

For a moment, they remained silent.

Seraphina’s mind went blank.

To be exact, she still felt drowsy from soaking in the bath for too long. At the moment, she was far from

sober.

Seraphina opened her eyes wide and stared at Dashiell’s face without blinking. Even when she was so

close to him, she couldn’t find out his flaws. He was the most perfect work of Go d. She had only

watched him from afar twice before, and everything about him remained rumors to her, but now they

were so close to each other that she could hear his heartbeat!
