Vivian doesn't like the fact that Ivan didn't take her side to help her decline when his parents gave her the gifts.
The gifts are so priceless that it made her feel uncomfortable receiving them. He married Ivan not because she wants to receive anything from them.
Since the gifts were too many, she decided to take only some and left some at Ivan's parents place saying they're going to come get them later.
After saying their goodbye to each other, they headed straight to their place.
Since Vivian doesn't have any servants at her place, they have to move everything inside by themselves.
After they moved everything inside, Vivian's heart sank looking at the gifts that were lying in the living room.
'Sigh! I'm too tired to open everything and put them in the closet.'
Vivian threw herself on the couch. "Sigh! I'm sure you noticed that I asked for your help to decline the gifts when your parents gave them to me. Why didn't you help me out by siding with me? Instead, you're siding with them and making me accept everything."
Ivan walked up to Vivian with a smile on his face and sat down next to her. "How can I refuse my parents for spoiling my own wife? I don't have the heart to do that. You're their daughter in law. If they don't spoil you, then who are they going to do that to?"
"But still…"
Before Vivian could finish speaking, Ivan interrupted her. "You're my wife. You deserve only the best. It's normal for them to give you little gifts."
'Ha! You call that little? I know your family is super rich, but this is too much.'
Vivian knew that complaining to Ivan won't work, but she still tried. Now she's determined that she won't go to her in-laws' place as much as possible. The only thing to avoid going there is to keep herself busy and give them excuses.
Vivian stood up from the couch saying she's going to take a shower. Before she leaves, she makes Ivan open all of the gifts as a punishment before he goes upstairs.
She then went upstairs to take a shower.
Without saying anything and just like Vivian wanted, Ivan started cutting open the gift boxes in the quiet living room.
He understands how she feels. It's his fault for not letting his parents know beforehand that they don't need to prepare anything for his wife.
He knew that his parents love to give gifts to the one who they really like, but it never crossed his mind that they would prepare so many things in a short period of time.
Ivan was sure that Vivian felt uncomfortable receiving so many things from his parents.
In Ivan's eyes, Vivian is just like his parents. They love to give but don't feel comfortable receiving so many things from other people.
After Vivian went upstairs, she started to feel bad for blaming Ivan on the things that it's not his fault. With a deep heavy sigh, she walked into the shower room and began taking a shower.
So many things happened in a blink of an eye that Vivian was not sure if she did the right thing by getting married this soon. It hasn't been long since she got to know Ivan. She doesn't even know how to break the news to her mother.
Vivian knew that her mother started planning her wedding right after she met with Ivan without knowing that their relationship at that time was faked.
Vivian was sure that the moment her mother found out that they already got their marriage certificate, she would make them hold a wedding ceremony for sure. That's why she feels uneasy with her decision to let her mother know or not.
For Vivian, it's not a problem to hold a wedding ceremony, but it's just that she doesn't want to appear in public news.
As long as they hold the wedding ceremony secretly and invite only their relatives, Vivian wouldn't have any issue with that. And of course the wedding pictures cannot be leaking.
If Ivan's family agree to the conditions, Vivian will happily accept to hold the wedding ceremony if her mother told her to do it.
Vivian was sure that Ivan wanted to hold the wedding ceremony too. It's his first time marrying someone but he still agrees with everything that she wanted.
Just thinking about it makes Vivian feel like a bad person. She always made him do whatever she wanted, but he never complained and did what she wanted. She never asks him for his opinion.
After putting on the pj, Vivian went downstairs to check on Ivan. She feels bad for making him do all the work.
Since Vivian took a quick shower, when she went downstairs, Ivan was still unboxing the gifts.
Seeing that Ivan was working hard to unbox the gifts made Vivian's chest feel heavy. She sits next to Ivan and leaning her head against his shoulder. "I'm sorry for making you do all this."
Hearing Vivian's words, Ivan let out a little chuckle. "Why are you apologizing? It's not anything hard to do."
"Still…"
"Alright! No go sit on the couch. It's a mess here. You already took a shower. I'm sure you don't want to get yourself dirty again."
For Ivan, it's his job to help his wife. He doesn't understand why she's apologizing for no reason.
"Let's finish unboxing tomorrow. It's getting late and I'm sure you want to rest too."
With a gentle smile on his face. "I'm fine. I'm not tired at all. Let me finish everything first."
"You're not, but I am."
Vivian was telling the truth. Today has been a very long and tiring day for her. She just wants to go take a rest.
"Then go to bed first. I'll finish up here first then I'll go upstairs."
Seeing that Ivan was determined to get everything done before he went to bed, Vivian didn't pester him anymore.
Vivian stood up. "Alright. I'll go to bed first then."
"Good Night."
"Good Night. Don't stay up too late."
"Mmm."
Instead of heading upstairs to go to bed, Vivian headed to the opposite side. She has no choice but to go grab a bottle of liquor so that it'll help her sleep easier.
Vivian was hoping that Ivan would stop unboxing the boxes and go to bed with her so that she doesn't have to drink any alcohol tonight since she's still feeling full from the dinner earlier.
But since Ivan wants to get everything done tonight, she'll have to drink some alcohol even though she's full.
"Ring Ring Ring~"
Just when Vivian was about to walk into the storage room where she kept the liquor, her phone started ringing.
She frowned after looking at her phone screen. But she still pressed the answer button.
"My Lady, we need you at KM Club right now. A group of gang members came to our club. Their leader brought his woman who's underage. They refused to leave and forced their ways inside when we didn't allow the girl to come in."
Without saying anything, Vivian closed her eyes while massaging her head. She knew the moment her phone rang wouldn't be something good.
"Sigh! Are you being serious right now? I didn't make you the manager so you can bother me with little stuff."
"I know… I'm being unreasonable right now…"
Vivian sighs and cuts him off from finishing his sentence. "How many are they?"
"Umm… around thirty people."
"Alright."
Then Vivian hung up the phone.
She just couldn't believe that something like this would happen on her wedding night.
Vivian walked back upstairs without saying anything to Ivan and changed into a short sexy dress and a pair of high heels as fast as she could. Since she's going to the club, she can't wear pants. And she won't forget about the mask to cover her face.
Putting the mask in her backpack and took a motorcycle key and went downstairs.
Walking up to Ivan and giving him a kiss. "I have some business to take care of. I'll be back in an hour. Make sure to behave and wait for me."
Seeing that Vivian was about to leave, Ivan stood up and caught her hand. It made Vivian turn around and face him.
Vivian can see that Ivan's face shows that he looked confused and has lots of questions. She understands his reactions since it's almost midnight and she is about to go out to take care of business at this hour.
The thought of someone making trouble and she needs to take care of it makes anger rush through her body.
But she didn't want to worry Ivan.
Vivian wrapped her arms around Ivan's waist and buried her head on his neck. Closing her eyes as she breathed in his scent.
It calms her down a little.
Slowly opening her eyes. Vivian pulled back and looked into his eyes. Standing on her tiptoe and pressing her lips on Ivan's lips. "I'll be back."
Without giving Ivan a chance to talk, Vivian walked out of the living room and headed to the parking garage.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement when she saw the new motorcycle and cars.
Smirking. "They never disappoint me."
She then got on her own motorcycle and drove off.
Ivan stood there dumbfounded as he stared at Vivian way where she is heading and disappeared in a blink of an eye in confusion.
He doesn't understand why she has to take care of business late at night and dress up like that. He was sure that it had nothing to do with her job. Which is as a University professor.
