Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver pulled up to the Avalon Hotel. Vivian didn\u2019t wait for him to get out and door. She opened it herself and stepped down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Mr. Howard. Sorry to trouble you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They hadn\u2019t said a word the whole ride, but she wasn\u2019t about to forget her manners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston stayed silent in the backseat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian pressed her lips together and said nothing more. She gently closed the car door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as it was about to close, Kingston pushed the door back open.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian froze for a moment. Then, Kingston bent forward and got out of the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He walked past her without expression, his dark eyes distant and unapproachable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian watched him walk into the hotel, surprise flashing in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hurried after him and asked, \u201cMr. Howard, are you staying here tonight too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston didn\u2019t answer. He didn\u2019t even spare her a glance. He just kept walking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian pursed her lips. She\u2019d just told him to ask Camille himself. She hadn\u2019t even called out his real feelings toward Camille, yet he\u2019d shut her out the whole way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, she still didn\u2019t know him well enough. He wasn\u2019t just sharp\u2013tongued. He was also good at\u00a0<\/p>\n
the silent treatment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without meaning to, Vivian thought of Camille\u2019s cool, distant nature. If the two of them ever fought, who would win a standoff?\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was probably Camille.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back then, Vivian had insisted on ending the engagement. With Camille\u2019s relationship with Kingston, all she would\u2019ve needed was to say a few kind words, and Kingston probably wouldn\u2019t have let the Howard family make things difficult for the Hartwell family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But over the years, Camille had avoided every possible partnership with the Howards. She had\u00a0<\/p>\n
never softened once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston probably couldn\u2019t do anything about Camille either. Otherwise, he wouldn\u2019t still be single after all these years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe he\u2019d wanted to get something about Camille from Vivian, but she\u2019d refused. That was\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
why he was angry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was no wonder he\u2019d been silent the entire ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was probably how heirs dealt with things. They waited for the others to give in first.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Compared to their years of stubborn tension, Vivian suddenly felt like her failed relationship at least had a clean ending.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That thought gave her an unexpected sense of comfort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Kingston stepped into the elevator, he turned around. He looked up just in time to meet the pity in Vivian\u2019s eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He frowned at once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian quickly looked away and slowed her steps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had no interest in facing an ice\u2013cold glare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Luckily, Kingston didn\u2019t wait for her either. The elevator doors closed quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian quietly let out a sigh of relief before stepping forward to press the button.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next second, the elevator doors slid open again. Kingston stood inside, straight and still, looking at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you avoiding me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian blinked at the doorway, thinking for a second.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston stared at her in silence, his face unreadable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian obviously wasn\u2019t going to admit she\u2019d been avoiding him, so she smiled and said, \u201cNo. I just thought you were tired and wanted to get back to your room. I figured you didn\u2019t want to talk, so I didn\u2019t want to bother you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston didn\u2019t respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian could only force herself to step into the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She glanced at the floor panel and pressed her lips together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, he\u2019d gotten in and hadn\u2019t even chosen a floor. She hadn\u2019t expected that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She should\u2019ve lingered at the front desk. If someone upstairs had pressed the elevator button, it might have gone up on its own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian raised her hand but didn\u2019t press her floor\u2019s button. Instead, she looked at the man\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 90\u00a0<\/p>\n
beside her, who seemed determined to keep up the silent treatment, and asked, \u201cMr. Howard, what floor are you on? I can press it for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston didn\u2019t answer. He just lifted his hand, pressed 32, and lowered his arm again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He remained silent, but his domineering presence filled the entire space.\u00a0<\/p>\n
