Chapter 870

"Let's go to Disneyland tomorrow." Ethan rested his chin on Vivian's head. "We'll ride the Ferris wheel, eat cotton candy, just like any normal couple."

He rarely spoke this much.

But now, he chattered like a lovestruck teenager, meticulously planning their dates for the coming days.

"Viv, I booked a seaside restaurant." His arms tightened around her. "They say the sunset there is breathtaking."

No response came from the woman in his embrace.

Ethan looked down to find Vivian already asleep against his chest. Moonlight cast delicate shadows through her lashes.

A silent smile curved his lips.

He pulled out his phone, secretly framing them both in the screen. Vivian's peaceful sleeping face glowed softly.

Their first photo together.

Ethan snapped several shots before finally tucking his phone away. Cradling Vivian carefully, he moved without disturbing her dreams.

"Put me down." Vivian stirred halfway, struggling to free herself.

"Almost at the parking lot." Ethan held firm. "Sleep a little longer."

She frowned. "I want to go home."

"I'll take you." He hesitated. "But I'm staying over."

"No!"

"I'll sleep on the couch." His voice dropped. "Just four more days, Viv."

Vivian turned her face away. In four days, this absurd arrangement would end.

As the car entered the gated community, Ethan navigated the winding roads with practiced ease. He'd traveled this route so often, he remembered every speed bump.

"Upstairs is mine. You stay downstairs." Vivian tossed the words over her shoulder as she headed for the staircase.

Ethan stood in the foyer, watching her silhouette disappear around the corner.

Four days.

His fists clenched. Having tasted such sweetness, how could he ever let go?
