“How come I’ve never seen him before?”

Jonathan spoke up. “Mr. Sven is a very mysterious man. He only shows up when mom is in danger.”
“No wonder, when you were abroad, I only heard about your bodyguards, but never actually saw them,” Vivian mused while eating her cake.
She too had her own bodyguards. However, these bodyguards usually stationed themselves. in plain sight, within a ten–meter radius of her, easily visible to the naked eye.
Due to Calvin’s unique status abroad, those around him were inevitably affected. Therefore, at team was assigned to protect Cecilia and her family.
Ten minutes later, Sven appeared at the doorway, dressed in a sharp suit that made him stand out. His aura was unapproachable, deterring anyone from coming near.
When Vivian saw him, her eyes lit up.
“Handsome…”
Jonathan considerately handed her a tissue. “Wipe your mouth.”
Vivian swallowed nervously.
Cecilia was well aware of the kind of person her best friend was. She may seem infatuated and silly on the surface, but deep down, she harbored feelings for just one person.
For the sake of that man, Vivian, at the age of twenty–seven, had not only remained unmarried, but she had never even been in a relationship.
“Come in,” Cecilia said to Sven. “This is my friend, Vivian. There’s no one else here.”
Sven took a glance inside the room.
Jonathan politely said, “Mr. Sven, Easter Day is tomorrow, let’s celebrate together and eat some cake.”
The usually stern features of Sven softened considerably.
“No need, thank you.”
Cecilia had always known that he preferred his solitude, so she never insisted on intruding. She packed up some cake and handed them to him.
“Then let me wish you a hanny Faster day in advance‘

“Right, thank you.”
Sven grabbed the cake and turned to leave.
After he left, Vivian casually remarked, “He doesn’t seem like a bodyguard at all.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s just a feeling, hard to put into words…”

Cecilia also felt that Sven gave off a vibe that was different from the average bodyguard.
Although Sven had protected her for several years, their interactions had been minimal, limited to basic communication.
The most they had interacted was when she took the drug previously.
Just then, Vivian’s phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was a call from her father.
“What’s the matter?”
“You’re not getting any younger, you know. I’ve set up a blind date for you at Imperial Garden tomorrow morning at nine.”
Vivian’s face turned sour in an instant. “I’m not going!”
“Do you think I’m asking for your opinion?” Roland’s tone was stern. “Don’t forget, everything you have now, I gave to you! If you don’t want to be a part of the Kennedy family. you can leave.”
“This time, regardless of whether you like them or not, you absolutely cannot stand them up. You can only do so if they don’t like you! Don’t disappoint me!”
Vivian tightened her grip on her phone.
Throughout her life, she often found herself devoid of control over many situations.
Just a while ago, Vivian had turned on the loudspeaker, and Cecilia had also heard the
conversation.
Vivian was clearly disappointed. “But I have plans tomorrow…”
The reason she had baked with Jonathan and invited Cecilia over was that she planned to go somewhere early the next morning to meet someone.
Jonathan took over the conversation immediately. “Mom, why don’t you go in place of Ms.

Kennedy tomorrow?”
Vivian was taken aback.
Bewildered, Cecilia asked, “Can I… do that?”
It seemed as though Vivian had latched onto a lifeline.
“Of course you can, I’ve spent many years abroad and rarely came back. Those silver- spooned kids barely know me…”
“But……” Cecilia was still hesitant.

Since it was a blind date, both parties would most certainly have each other’s information.
However, it wasn’t long before Vivian dispelled her doubts.
“Don’t worry,” Vivian assured. “I’ve been through this blind date thing before. We’re all just pawns in our parents‘ matchmaking games. My dad didn’t even mention who the other party was earlier, you get what I mean? The other party wouldn’t know either, it’s all just for show to appease our parents.”
Jonathan also looked at Cecilia. “Mommy, opportunities like this are hard to come by. If we’re lucky, Eli and I might just get a dad.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
