Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3246 Trying To Move On

Ray felt a bit disoriented. It had been a long time since he had heard Vivian act affectionately with him.

As he listened to Vivian's voice, he called out, "Sis."

Vivian smiled and replied, "Ray, I miss home."

"If you want to come back, you can do it anytime," replied Ray. He did not agree with her decision to study in A City initially.

However, Vivian was feeling down back then, and he could not argue with her, so he let her go.

*I'm not planning to come back right now. I'm just saying I miss it. A City is great, the university is great, and my classmates are great. I'm doing well here, but I'm not used to not having family around," explained Vivian. She genuinely loved A City. That was why she chose to come.

"When's your next break?" asked Ray.

"Well, in A City, the next break isn't until February next year, so I have a while before I can go back. I just wanted to hear your voice because I miss home, that's all."

"I'll make time to visit you," suggested Ray.

Running a family business was not easy. If he let his guard down, others could overtake them.

If it were an ordinary business, being surpassed would not be a big deal, but their situation was different. The entire family could be at risk if they were outdone.

"Don't worry about it, Ray. Just focus on managing the family business. I'm fine here," Vivian quickly added.

Moreover, she had another reason for not wanting him to come-Gordan.

If Ray came to A City, he would definitely come looking for trouble with him.

Since she had no connection with Gordan anymore, she did not want her brother to get involved.

Ray let out a sigh. "Vivian, are you worried I'll hurt Gordan?"

"What? No!" Vivian denied it. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

"I know you still see Gordan sometimes. Have you really moved on?" asked Ray.

Vivian froze. No one around her ever mentioned Gordan's name. Only Ray, with his straightforwardness, would dare bring it up.

*Ray, I can only tell you I'm trying to move on," replied Vivian. If she had really moved on, she would not be losing sleep over this.

It had been a long time since she had lost sleep over Gordan.

She used to think she had gotten over him, but what happened today made her realize she had not fully let go.

Ray was silent for a while.

"Ray?" Vivian called softly, worried he might be disappointed in her.

"Yeah," Ray finally responded.

Then, she heard him say, "Hang in there. You can do it."

"Yeah, I can do it. I'll be home for the break," Vivian said with a smile. On this sleepless night, having Ray's comfort was really nice.

'Alright, take care of yourself over there," reminded Ray.

'Got it,' replied Vivian. Just as she was about to hang up, Ray added, "Oh, I've arranged some martial arts classes for you. It's at a studio near your school, so it'll be convenient for you to attend."

"Ray!" Vivian was stunned. Why the sudden class arrangements? Realizing what might have prompted it, she quickly said, "You found out about what happened today? Don't blame Luca. It wasn't her fault. It was my fault."

"I know, I'm not blaming her," explained Ray, understanding her concern. "I know the situation. Even if someone is to blame, it wouldn't be Ms. Craw. Don't worry."

Vivian heaved a sigh in relief. "That's good to hear."

"I'll handle this with Luke, so you don't need to worry. But you have to attend martial arts classes. If you knew martial arts, you and Luca wouldn't have been taken away like that," Ray said firmly. He was strict with her.

Since she chose to leave his protection and refused bodyguards, she had to learn to protect herself.

"Alright, I'll go." Vivian had some basic training, but against those people, her skills were insufficient, making her a burden to Luca.

After realizing she had become a burden, she considered taking up more self-defense training.

Ray had just made that decision for her.

Vivian gladly accepted.

"It's late over there. Get some rest," said Ray.

"Okay." Vivian felt a warmth in her heart.

"Goodnight."

*Goodnight."

Luke was planning to work with Ray to cause trouble for Karen and Pierre.

They acted quickly.

The next morning, Old Master Mallory had just woken up when he received the documents Luke had sent over. "Old Master Mallory, this is from Mr. Crawford's assistant," said Mr. Bennet respectfully as he handed over a file. Old Master Mallory was sipping his morning tea. When he heard what Mr. Bennet said, he put down his cup, took the file, and asked, "Luke's people? Did they say anything?"

Mr. Bennet nodded. "Yes, they said that after you read the file, you'd know what to do."

Old Master Mallory's expression suddenly darkened. He hesitated to open the file, sensing it contained something he would not like.

"Sir?" Mr. Bennet called out gently when he saw no movement.

"Did they say what it's about or who it concerns?" asked Old Master Mallory. He was eyeing the pristine file. His clouded eyes glinted with suspicion.

Was Luke looking for trouble with the Mallory family again?

If so, because of whom?

"They didn't say anything," replied Mr. Bennet. Jason had left immediately after dropping off the file.

Old Master Mallory looked at the file and slowly it, feeling a growing sense of bad feeling when he had only opened half of it.

"Let's have breakfast first," suggested Old Master Mallory, worried that the contents of the file might upset him so much that he would not be able to enjoy his breakfast.

Mr. Bennet quickly went to arrange breakfast.

After finishing his meal, Old Master Mallory opened the file.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

His face darkened as he read the documents, making Mr. Bennet beside him anxious.

Mr. Bennet hurriedly fetched a pile of medications from a drawer, including heart medicine and blood pressure

pills.

Old Master Mallory understood Mr. Bennet's precaution but did not scold him. Instead, he asked, "Has Pierre been discharged?"

"Yes, he's been discharged, but he's not fully recovered yet. However, he met the discharge criteria," answered Mr. Bennet, puzzled about why Old Master Mallory was suddenly asking about Pierre.

Recently, the old master's focus had been entirely on the affairs of the Mallory Corporation.

Old Master Mallory's sudden inquiry suggested that it had something to do with the documents in front of him.

"As expected, they can't stay out of trouble, can they?" Old Master Mallory demanded angrily, though no one could answer him.

He then asked Mr. Bennet, "Where is Pierre recovering now?"

*After being discharged, he's been recuperating at the Mallory estate," replied Mr. Bennet. Even though the old master had not been paying much attention to Pierre's situation, as the old master's personal butler, he kept track of all the family members' activities.

This way, he could provide information immediately when the old master needed it.
