Chapter 89\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian kept smiling, but her words came through clenched teeth. \u201cI\u2019m worried you\u2019ll lick your lips and poison yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston knew exactly what was going on between her and Logan, but he still congratulated her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian took a deep breath. If she hadn\u2019t discovered Logan and Sloane\u2019s affair before the wedding, every \u201ccongratulations\u201d she heard tomorrow from people who knew the truth would\u2019ve been a silent insult.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she\u2019d found out only after she was married, every \u201ccongratulations\u201d would have turned into knives that stabbed straight into her heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At least she\u2019d found out in time. She hadn\u2019t given them the chance to stab her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston let out a low laugh. Streetlights swept past the windows in clusters, briefly lighting his face as the car moved. A faint smile tugged at his lips. He seemed to be in a good mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou already kissed me just now,\u201d he said. \u201cYou look totally fine to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian had almost forgotten what had happened earlier. When he mentioned it, her face flushed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had nothing to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the rearview mirror, the driver wore an amused smile. He could barely hide it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian could only bite her tongue in frustration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston clearly wasn\u2019t going to let her off. He pressed on. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong? Too poisoned to talk now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian was speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as things were about to get completely awkward, her phone rang again and saved her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered. \u201cCamille.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Camille\u2019s voice came through the line, cool and flat. \u201cYou\u2019re coming back tomorrow?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Vivian replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had always been a little afraid of Camille, who never showed emotion on her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Camille hummed in acknowledgment, her tone still unmistakably cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few seconds passed, then she spoke again, softer than before. \u201cVivian\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian heard the hesitation and asked at once, \u201cWhat is it, Camille?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the other end, there was the sound of papers being flipped. Camille stayed silent for a long time before she finally said, \u201cIt\u2019s nothing. We\u2019ll talk when you\u2019re back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, she hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian stared at the screen after the call ended, confusion flickering in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston lowered his gaze to her. \u201cCamille?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian felt like his voice had turned gentler. She pressed her lips together and nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her mood visibly drop, Kingston asked; \u201cWhat did she say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A sudden irritation rose in Vivian for no clear reason. \u201cIf you\u2019re that curious, why don\u2019t you call and ask her yourself?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian realized she\u2019d snapped. She pressed her lips together and apologized quietly. \u201cSorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She just felt that whatever he wanted to know, he could ask Camille himself. He didn\u2019t need to get answers through her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t want to be a convenient tool that pushed their relationship along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t wanted to do it ten years ago, and she refused to do it now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston looked at her in silence. With his expression blank, she couldn\u2019t read even a trace of what he was thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian took a deep breath and looked out the window, the light fading from her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her thoughts drifted back to that summer when she\u2019d first learned she and Kingston had an engagement arranged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The memory barely surfaced before she pushed it back down. She didn\u2019t want to think about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The air in the car went stiff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rest of the drive passed with neither of them saying another word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
