Chapter 962

Vivian's eyes widened in surprise. "Isabella has a boyfriend?"

She hadn't heard anything about this from Isabella.

Isabella rolled her eyes. "Don't listen to his nonsense."

"Since when is this nonsense?" Felix raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you just admit it yourself?"

"You believe everything I say?" Isabella scoffed. "Since when did the great Felix Valdemar become so obedient?"

Seeing them about to argue again, Vivian quickly intervened. "Isabella, Felix is just concerned about you. Let's talk calmly."

Isabella huffed and turned her face away.

The tension in Felix's expression eased slightly, and an inexplicable sense of satisfaction bubbled up inside him.

He always knew someone as hot-tempered as Isabella would never find a partner.

If this girl really couldn't get married, he might as well take her in as a favor.

"Then why did you lie about having a boyfriend?" Felix pressed.

"None of your business," Isabella snapped. "Worry about yourself."

"So there isn't one?"

"Whether there is or isn't has nothing to do with you!"

Listening to their bickering, Vivian suddenly understood something.

She cleared her throat. "Felix, actually, I asked you here today because I need a favor. You're close with Patrick Alpinus, right?"

"Of course," Felix said proudly, tilting his chin up. "Patrick, Ethan, and I grew up together."

"I need his help with something. Could you connect me?"

"Easy." Felix agreed without hesitation. "But why not ask Ethan directly?"

"He's been too busy lately." Vivian smiled. "I didn't want to disturb him."

Felix pulled out his phone. "I'll give you his number."

"You could’ve just told me over the phone. No need to come all this way."

"It’s no trouble." Felix glanced at Isabella. "I also wanted to see Dr. Laurent."

Vivian couldn’t help but laugh. "To see me, or to see my dear Isabella?"

"Vivian!" Isabella bristled. "Don’t say nonsense! I’m not close with him at all!"

Felix immediately jumped in. "Isabella Langley, are you heartless? We’ve known each other for years!"

"Knowing each other doesn’t mean we’re close!"

"Dr. Laurent, tell me, isn’t she ungrateful?"

"Who are you calling ungrateful?!" Isabella grabbed a throw pillow and hurled it at him.

Vivian watched their playful scuffle and quietly stepped aside.

She dialed Patrick’s number. It rang several times before he answered.

"Officer Alpinus, it’s Vivian Laurent."

"I remember," came his amused voice. "Ethan Roscente’s wife, right?"

Vivian pressed her lips together but didn’t correct him this time.
