Calculating the time, it should be almost there.

Click!

At the corner, a flash of white light appeared.

Viviana turned her head and glared at the guy who took the photo.

Going out on the street alone is troublesome! There are always these paparazzi taking pictures.

As the adopted daughter of the chairman of the Securities and Futures Commission, she has always been a hot topic. Coupled with her outstanding appearance and outstanding skills, she has also become a frequent guest in newspapers.

It's just that these newspapers write all kinds of nonsense in order to attract attention, such as taking baths in red wine and keeping hundreds of maids.

Making up stories and then getting a lot of traffic is their way of survival.

Call out the Red Wine News! It's just a piece of garbage spreading rumors!

Turning her head away in disgust, Viviana quickened her pace and quickly left the crowded street.

Relying on her excellent physical fitness, Viviana quickly left the paparazzi who was taking photos behind. Looking at the paparazzi who was standing there helpless and furious, Viviana showed a smug smile.

Forget it, let’s go home quickly!

Now that the guy who was following her had been shaken off, Viviana focused all her attention on getting home.

I don’t know what the little one looks like, and whether she likes the house I decorated for her.

Viviana was imagining a beautiful life in the future and tears of happiness flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Slurp~Hehe~

Sensing something was wrong, Viviana quickly wiped her saliva with her sleeve, then coughed twice and regained her elegant posture.

Viviana, who was about to reveal her true nature, completely restrained herself. She was still outside and couldn't let the paparazzi catch her in such an out-of-control state.

God knows what kind of headlines those unscrupulous media will make up to portray her.

But you can at home!

————————————————————————————————————

Russell and Viviana live not far from the city center, about half an hour's walk.

Arriving outside the manor, Viviana pushed open the door and walked in.

After entering the door, Viviana took off the cloak she was wearing. Now that she was home, there was no need to cover herself up.

Russell is a high-ranking official after all, and those paparazzi wouldn't dare to enter her house even if they had ten chances.

After putting all the purchased clothes and dolls in place, Viviana began to tidy up the room.

The main thing is to clean up the small hole connecting to the house.

She had specifically asked the master to make the beating more discreet so that she wouldn't be discovered by Russell when she came to visit in the future.

Opening the wardrobe, Viviana took down the wooden board on the back of the wardrobe, looked at the circular hole with two rectangular shapes, and compared it carefully with her body shape.

Mmm! Perfect!

Viviana, who was moving back and forth between the two rooms like a caterpillar, gave a thumbs up to the female craftsman's craftsmanship.

Although he is a bit rough, his craftsmanship is good!

The master even made two rectangular holes to allow Viviana's corners to pass freely.

Must give a good review!

After closing the wooden board again, Viviana put all the new clothes on hangers and hung them inside the closet to cover the hole.

Taking off her shoes, Viviana climbed onto the bed with her dolls and placed them one by one against the wall.

“Phew~ I’m so tired!”

Lying on the bed, stretching her limbs freely, Viviana felt a sense of ease and happiness she had never felt before.

She is so tired!

A good child in the eyes of her mother and an excellent knight in the eyes of outsiders, she has lived most of her life in the eyes of others.

The mind is more tired than the body.

The warm midday sunlight poured in from the window, shining on Viviana's face, making her feel warm. Her long golden hair spread on the bed, intertwining with the sunlight.

Feeling the sleepiness gradually coming over her soul, Weiwei and An'na also relaxed their minds and let sleepiness envelop them.

--------------------------------

When she woke up, it was already dark. Looking at the full moon hanging high outside the window, Viviana couldn't help stretching.

“Woo~ah!”

Reaching out and grabbing the alarm clock on the bedside table, Viviana checked the time on it.

"It's already half past nine? Mom isn't coming home today?"

Opening the door and looking at the dark living room outside, Viviana's face showed a look of loss.

As the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Russell has very little free time on weekdays. She often has to work overtime, so naturally she can go home very few times.

Viviana was already accustomed to this.

Walking down the stairs and into the kitchen, Viviana took out a cake from the refrigerator.

Today is her 17th birthday, and she specially prepared this cake to celebrate with Russell.

Finally, I forgot...

Viviana scooped up small spoonfuls of cake with a spoon and put them into her mouth mechanically.

The chocolate cake tasted only bitter in her mouth.

Smacking her lips, Viviana slowed down her movements.

"Ding dong!"

Outside the door, the doorbell rang.

"Mother?!"

A look of surprise blossomed in her light blue eyes, and Viviana hurried to the door and opened it.

There was no one outside the door, only a courier standing at the gate of the manor, waving at her.

Inevitably feeling a little lost, Viviana adjusted her mood and walked to the gate of the manor.

The courier was wearing strange clothes and had a pair of green feathers on his head. He looked like a Liberian, but he had a big tail swinging back and forth behind him.

"Hello, this is Tiantiantong Express! Here is your package, please sign for it!"

After handing over the receipt, the courier picked up a large box from the ground.

"Just sign here, right?"

After writing her name on the receipt, Viviana handed it back.

"Yes, your express delivery, please take it!"

After taking the big box from the courier, Viviana wanted to ask who the sender was, but who knew that the courier moved so fast that he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

There was no choice, so Viviana had to move the box back into the house.

"Ugh! What the hell is in here? It's rolling around!"

Putting the box on the table, Viviana took a kitchen knife from the kitchen and began to cut along the gap in the tape.

Click!Click!

In a few seconds, the tape was cut open by the kitchen knife. Viviana put the knife away and began to open the box.

She had just confirmed that the recipient of the box was her, but she didn't know who sent it to her.

As the package was opened, a faint fragrance spread from the box.

"perfume?"

Viviana began to wonder what was inside the big box.

After the packaging was completely opened, Yin Weiwei leaned forward, and the next second, her pupils shrank into a dot.

The bottom of the box was covered with white feathers, and a Liberian girl tied in a special posture was lying quietly inside.

The girl's slightly undulating figure has been specially processed to appear plump, which is not appropriate for her age.

There was a strange blush on the delicate, doll-like face, and at the same time, there was a birthday card next to the girl's skirt.

"Happy birthday, Miss Viviana!"

"I hope you like this gift!"

I was targeted and the chapter was reported. Fortunately, I am a good driver and the report was not successful.

Please vote! I was knocked off the leaderboard again by the big guy!

Volume 2: Chapter 5: Bad Impressions

Her heartbeat was accelerating. Looking at the girl in the box, Viviana didn't know what to do, and her hand that was about to open the box froze there.

hum!hum!

"what!"

The phone on the table suddenly lit up. The phone, which was set to vibrate mode, moved slowly on the table, and Russell's headshot appeared on the screen.

"mom!"

Viviana reacted quickly and picked up the phone and answered Russell's call.

"Although I'm a little late, I wish you a happy birthday, my dear child."

On the other side, Russell fiddled with the photo in his hand and expressed his blessings to his children.

It doesn’t matter that Viviana is not her biological child. What matters is that this child lives with her and calls her mother, and that’s enough.

"It's okay! Mom! Are you coming home today? I bought a cake!"

After receiving Russell's blessing, Viviana's mood improved visibly, and the remaining chocolate in her mouth turned sweet.

"There's something going on here today."

Russell's voice lowered a little, and the apology in his tone was obvious.

The implication is that I can't come back today.

She knew that today was Viviana's birthday, but the Supervisory Commission had been arguing with the Chamber of Commerce over the issue of the Knights' Expedition.

As a representative of a family of knights, she naturally had to stay and deal with things, so she had to let Viviana suffer.

"It's okay, Mom will just take care of her own business first!"

After listening to Viviana's sensible answer on the other end of the phone, Russell felt even more guilty towards her.

Fortunately, there will be someone to accompany her in the future.

Looking at the little girl in the photo in his hand who was in a mess, Russell nodded with satisfaction.

The photo was sent to her by Patsy, and was taken secretly at the Rocken Tank before.

In the photo, Talina was holding her head, curled up into a furry ball on the bed, while Narcissa was walking towards Talina with her arms raised high and her claws in a grasping gesture.

Percy found a very good angle, capturing Narcissa's bully temperament vividly. Talina, who was squatting by the wall, had tears in the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.

"By the way, Percy just called me and said that the kid named Tarina has arrived. I can't go back now, so please help greet her first."

"I'll send you the photo later. Let this child celebrate your birthday with you this year."

"This child's background is quite pitiful. You must take good care of her!"

After explaining the situation, Russell took the phone from his ear and hung up.

She had a lot of things to do today, and it was very difficult for her to spare a little time to say happy birthday to Viviana, so she had to hurry up.

He placed the photos sent by Percy on the table, scanned them with his mobile phone, and sent them to Viviana.

After doing all this, Russell decisively threw his phone into the drawer and turned to leave the room.

Beep!

The busy tone of the phone rang out, and Viviana put the phone down and leaned over again to observe the girl in the cardboard box.
