Chapter 647

Joy blinked and thought momentarily before saying, “It’s okay. If you lose your job, you can find another one.”
She added, “Vivian, I don’t think you need to be sad over losing your job. You should pull yourself together and find a new job. Otherwise, what will we do if we run out of money to buy food?”
Like a mature adult, Joy was already worried they might starve due to their lack of income.
Vivian burst into laughter amidst her tears. “You talk big like an adult. I love you.”
Joy looked at her in disdain. “Vivian, you should wipe your snot first.”
Vivian was speechless.
At night, after Joy fell asleep, Vivian went to the balcony alone to space out.
She glanced at her phone, looking for someone to chat with. After a long search, she couldn’t find anyone suitable.
At midnight, her phone rang.
It was Carson.
She picked up the phone and heard Carson’s soothing voice coming from the phone. “Vivian, I’m sorry.
I’ve been too busy these past few days. Did you need me for something today?”
Vivian felt a lump in her throat, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Carson could tell that something was wrong. “What’s wrong? Vivian? Are you crying?”
When Vivian called Carson’s name, she choked and could not continue speaking.
Carson was highly anxious. Instead of driving home, he turned his car around and asked, “Vivian, don’t cry. Where are you? I’ll come to you now.”
Vivian choked and said, “I’m at home.”
“Okay. I’ll be right there.”
Ten minutes later, Carson arrived at Vivian’s house.
Vivian opened the door with red and swollen eyes.
Carson’s heart ached when he saw her. He pulled her into his arms immediately. He asked, “What happened?”
Vivian cried in his arms for a while. When she calmed down, she told Carson what had happened. “Preposterous! If we find out whoever framed you, we must make them pay twofold!” Carson snarled. Vivian was tired. She curled up on the couch in her room and said nothing.
Carson sat beside her and comforted her.
When Carson woke up in the morning, he felt that his entire arm was numb.
He slowly opened his eyes and

Carson smiled and raised his other hand to caress her hair. Then, he kissed the top of her head gently. Just as he turned around, he suddenly saw a small figure at the bedroom entrance.

Carson’s face heated up. He walked over and covered her mouth, saying, “Hush. Don’t say a word.”
Joy chuckled and removed Carson’s hand from her mouth. She asked, “Carson, are you dating Vivian?” Carson quickly made a shushing gesture. “It’s a secret, okay?”
Joy thought for a while before reluctantly nodding in agreement.
Carson felt relieved. He took a good look at Vivian before going out to buy breakfast.
Vivian was already awake when Carson returned with breakfast. After a night of adjustment, she was fully recovered. There was no trace of sadness from losing her job last night. en FindNovel
During breakfast, Joy kept looking at Vivian sneakily, then at Carson. Carson was nervous, afraid that Joy would say something she shouldn’t.
