When We Were In Love novel Chapter 10

Vivian's seaweed-like silky hair was spread over the bed, but the joyful sparkle in her eyes was gone.

 

 

Her lips opened and closed mechanically. Christian subconsciously let go of her hands.

 

 

She was so cold.

 

 

He had never seen Vivian Joseph as cold as she was now.

 

 

As far as he could remember, she had always been an elegant young woman by every standard, gentle, sweet, warm, like a ray of sunshine in spring.

 

 

Yet now she was cold as winter. She had stopped looking at him with loving eyes.

 

 

"I don't need it anyway." He laughed resentfully and left the room.

 

 

Things got worse. Jessica began to unscrupulously boss her around, which inevitably encouraged the servants to give her a hard time too.

 

 

Whenever she tried to fight back, Christian would always show up to make her life more miserable, as if Jessica had cast a spell on him.

 

 

He confiscated her phone without which she couldn't get in touch with her parents or Patrick.

 

 

She laughed at herself. Why had she forgotten what her sister was capable of?

 

 

Jessica once accidently broke their father's favorite vase, and she blamed it on Vivian, just like what she did now. If Vivian hadn't had a heart condition, she would have been beaten to death in the study.

 

 

Standing in the shade, she suddenly heard someone talking outside, "Miss Joseph's parents are coming to visit. We'd better be well prepared not to embarrass Mr. North."

 

 

The Josephs were coming to see their daughters. The good news gave Vivian a renewed sense of hope.

 

 

She could finally leave this horrible place when her parents arrived!

 

 

The day finally came. Vivian had been wide awake before dawn. Standing in front of the window, she was eager to see her parents.

 

 

At about nine o' clock in the morning, a limousine slowly drove in. Two people got off the car. Their clothes looked expensive. One could tell that they were not ordinary people.

 

 

"Dad! Mom!" Jessica quickly ran over to greet them. She held her parents' hands and smiled, "I've missed you so much."
