The Million-Dollar Heart (Percival and Vivienne) novel Chapter 210

The fiery performance by the quintet from Class Eighteen ignited the enthusiasm of the entire student body.

Even Vivienne and Percival found themselves rising to their feet along with the crowd, captivated by the performance on stage.

Logan and his team, who had evidently practiced for countless hours, gave an electrifying performance.

Surprisingly, Coral's voice was impressively melodic.

The tune of "Until the End of the World" stirred the students' youthful passion and energy.

Their memories of Cloudcrest High School, accompanied by Coral’s slightly husky voice, played in their minds like a nostalgic movie.

More than a few students were moved to tears.

Vivienne had always considered herself not to be overly emotional, yet she couldn’t help but feel a lump in her throat at this moment.

Sometimes she envied these teenagers. They possessed the kind of carefree innocence that she had lost.

She could be Vivienne of the Emerald Monastery, the young master of the Nine Mystics Society, the Specter Healer, the hacker known as Shadow Wolf, Master Q, or Charles.

But she could never again be a carefree child.

When the song ended, the five of them stood in a line on stage, bowing collectively towards Vivienne.

Suddenly, the rest of the students from the senior class of the high school, each holding a carnation, rushed to Vivienne, stuffing the flowers into her arms.

Vivienne stood there, holding a bunch of carnations. She was touched and surprised; she hadn't expected this.

This moving scene was captured by a nearby photographer.

Little did they know that this photo would later hang in the classroom of the senior class, eventually becoming a legend of the school.

That day, Percival saw more smiles on Vivienne’s face than on any other day since their first meeting.

After returning to the Jade Garden Residences, Percival glanced at Vivienne, who was still clutching the forty-six carnations she had received, and asked with a smile, "You like flowers that much?"

"I do when they're given with such kindness." Vivienne replied as she turned to look at him.

Percival smiled, pushed open the gate of the mansion, and revealed a spectacle that left Vivienne stunned.

Every path and walkway in the mansion was lined with radiant scarlet roses.

As Percival led Vivienne inside, they were met by Thaddeus, who was holding the British Shorthair kitten. "Sis, your room is filled with flowers!"

The kitten in his arms also let out a soft meow.

Originally, Vivienne hadn't planned to keep the kitten that had scared Daniel, but Thaddeus fell in love with it at first sight.

The British Shorthair kitten, now named Zara, had quickly become a member of their family.

"Huh? Sis, why do you have so many flowers too?" Thaddeus asked, looking at the carnations in Vivienne's arms. "Did brother-in-law give them to you too?"

Vivienne glanced at Percival, who was smiling as he led her upstairs.

As they approached her room, the scent of roses filled the air. Her room was indeed filled with hundreds of scarlet roses.

"Vivienne Hawthorn." Percival magically produced a Juliet rose and handed it to Vivienne. "I've been remiss in not giving you flowers before, so I'm making up for it today."

Vivienne accepted the exceptionally valuable Juliet rose. She was actually somewhat overwhelmed by Percival’s sudden display of romance.

Could it be that Vivienne was the actual wolf in sheep's clothing?

Thaddeus looked on in confusion. "Sis, brother-in-law, what's going on?"

Vivienne and Percival fell silent.

At that moment, a call from Richard rescued them from this seemingly never-ending awkwardness.

After clearing his throat, Percival stood up and pulled Vivienne up with him, ignoring the strange looks from Dorian's family.

He answered the phone. "Grandpa."

"What's the deal with that rascal, Paul?" Richard's angry voice echoed from the phone. "Did the Brooks family really confirm that the girl they had taken in is carrying his child?"

Arabella was pregnant with Paul's child?

Percival frowned. Considering the timeline, it should have been the result of some psycho in the N&S Psychiatric Hospital.

"Did Paul admit it himself?"

"Of course!" Richard said irritably, "Your uncle and aunt have even come to me to discuss marriage! They said the girl is still underage for marriage, so they plan to hold the wedding ceremony first to downplay the news and wait till she is of legal age to register the marriage!"

Percival scoffed. He hadn't expected Paul to go this far.

Him tying the Brooks family to his sinking ship, even at the cost of being a cuckold, was something too outrageous for Percival to see coming.

"Do you have any idea how badly the old Baron Brooks scolded me just now?!" Richard was burning with fury. If he could, he’d dismantle Paul into pieces right this instant.
