Chapter 41 - 41 First Love
41 First Love
Vivian lowered her head, but she could already see the corner of Bruno’s suit in front of her. She was quick-witted and threw her bag to the ground gently.
Bang! The muffled sound of an item hitting the carpet.
Vivian quickly bent down and pretended to pick up something. Fortunately, Bruno’s mind was distracted by the woman next to him, so he did not realize the woman he was looking for was right under his nose.
After seeing the leather shoes and a pair of white high heels, Vivian was slightly relieved and slowly sat up.
Coincidentally, the two of them were sitting at the table behind Vivian.
After the waiter served the dishes, Vivian was about to ask for a takeaway when a voice came from behind.
Vivian realized that the hall was not soundproof at all. She quickly closed her mouth, or else Bruno would probably recognize her voice as soon as she opened her mouth. She waved at the waiter and asked him to leave.
“Bruno, it’s been a long time,”
The sweet, baby-like voice piqued Vivian’s curiosity, and she did not even bother to eat.
She leaned back gently and continued to listen with her ears perked up.
Bruno looked at the girl in front of him, whose face was exquisite and beautiful as it had been in the past, and said coldly, “It’s rare that Mrs. Dupond has the time to ask me out today.”
Looking at Bruno’s indifferent expression, a pang of discomfort flashed in Edda’s eyes. “Bruno, can you please not say such bizarre words to me? We shouldn’t have such a relationship.”
Bruno sneered, “Then what’s our relationship? Ex-boyfriend and girlfriend rekindled their love?”
When Edda heard this, her face turned red. She looked at Bruno angrily, but because of her baby voice, she sounded like she was acting coquettishly. “I’m already married, so don’t make such a joke.”
Bruno picked up his coffee and took a sip, his face nonchalant. “If you can’t even listen to such words, then you shouldn’t have asked me out again.”
When Edda heard this, she was stunned for a moment. A layer of mist gradually appeared in her eyes, and her voice was filled with sadness and despair. “Every time I say something, you shut me up. You weren’t like this in the past.”
Vivian shook her head as if she was watching a good show.
She didn’t expect to see such a grand scene of Bruno and his first love reuniting after running away.
Vivian sighed at Bruno’s cold heartlessness towards his first love. At the same time, she lamented that she was just a substitute for a child.
Bruno looked at Edda and didn’t say anything more. He picked up his coffee and drank it in one gulp. “You said you wanted to see me, and now I’ve met you. I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Edda reached out to stop Bruno, who had already stood up. “Wait!” She hurriedly stopped him.
Bruno lowered his head and looked at Edda’s slender hand. Edda followed his gaze and realized that she was doing something inappropriate. She retracted her hand with a blush. “Bruno, wait a moment. I still have something to say to you.”
Bruno sat down again, and Edda looked down at the table. After taking a few deep breaths, she gathered her courage and said, “Bruno, can you let Adam go?”
Bruno sneered and asked sarcastically, “This is the real reason you came to find me, right?”
Edda was not used to seeing Bruno like this. She was used to that gentleman who put her at the center of his world and did everything for her.
Edda became sadder as she recalled their past interactions. “Bruno, I had no choice but to break up with you back then. Can you not go against Adam for my sake?”
Bruno frowned and looked at Edda. “Do you think I’m the kind of person who would affect work for the sake of my personal feelings? It’s been so many years since we broke up. You don’t have to be so full of yourself now.”
When Vivian heard this, she couldn’t help but criticize Bruno in her heart again. He had found many body doubles but still said she was thinking too much.
Vivian’s face was full of contempt, but she secretly clicked her tongue a few times in her heart.
Edda didn’t believe Bruno’s words either, but she didn’t harp on their past relationship. “Alright, I won’t talk about the past anymore. Bruno, I beg you not to take the two pieces of land in M City’s new district, can you?”
