The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 457

On the ride home, Vivienne leaned against Percival, her thoughts drifting from Leopold and Griffin to the dinner plans for the next day.

Dawson’s aunt.

Vivienne chuckled to herself at the smallness of the world where you bump into an acquaintance with each turn.

Percival meticulously removed a loose strand of hair from Vivienne's coat, "Let's bring a gift tomorrow."

"Yeah, good idea," Vivienne smiled at him.

As she looked up, she was met with Percival's sculpted features.

So handsome.

Her eyes sparkled, and without thinking, she straightened up and pecked Percival on the lips.

Taken aback, Percival looked down at the beaming girl in his arms.

Before he could react, Vivienne leaned in for a deep, fervent kiss.

Perhaps it was all those sweet nothings she had heard from Griffin lately, but Vivienne felt a sugary sweetness in her heart.

She wanted to devour her Mr. Wolf, leave nothing behind!

Percival cradled Vivienne's head, pulling her even closer.

In the moment's intimacy, the air in the bus was thick with a sweet, sultry tension.

Thomas, the driver, quietly drew the curtain, well accustomed to such displays by now.

Meanwhile, Anna, sitting in the passenger seat, gaped in speechless wonder.

What just happened?

Did they just start making out?

Help!

She was barely an adult!

After dropping Vivienne off at her complex, Percival left.

As Vivienne and Anna were about to enter the building, they noticed a familiar figure standing at the entrance.

Vivienne paused before approaching. "Mr. Perez?"

Was he waiting for her this late?

Yuri Perez greeted her with a smile, "Vivienne, I've been waiting for you."

Without beating around the bush and casting a glance at Anna, he said, "I need to speak with you alone."

Anna quickly excused herself, "Ms. Vivienne, I'll wait for you inside."

Vivienne nodded.

Once Anna was out of earshot, Vivienne asked, "Mr. Perez, what did you want to talk about?"

After a moment of silence, Yuri said, "Vivienne, I need a few strands of your hair, some saliva, and a few drops of blood."

Vivienne sighed. "You're persistent, aren't you?"

She knew without asking that they wanted to do another paternity test. She had already proven not to be the Perez family's lost granddaughter, but they were not convinced.

Yuri looked slightly embarrassed, "My father feels a strong connection to you. He's convinced you're his granddaughter. I know this is forward, but please, do it for a man who's sick with worry."

Vivienne was silent momentarily before speaking, "You can have what you need, but it won't change anything. You should spend more time convincing Jasper."
