Chapter 463 – #68. Vivienne Laurent (4)
‘Isn’t Vivian really dating a guy?’
‘Vivian would be nice. They were born into a prestigious family and live happily with good parents.’
‘Why is Vivian an actress? If it were me, I would have taken over the company and lived comfortably instead of being an actor.’
Vivian lived a life that was envied by others.
A handsome appearance, overflowing wealth, socially respected parents and family.
From the outside, her life seems perfect and happy.
However, as the saying goes, it’s a comedy from a distance and a tragedy from up close, Vivian’s life was not so smooth.
Of course, her wealth has created the effect of lowering her life stage by a few steps, but the background was not a means of consolation given her hardships.
Mimi Laurent.
The most important thing in her life.
My beloved daughter and everything to her.
She almost lost her precious child because of an old man from a great family called a prestigious family.
Vivian had Mimi at a really young age.
She was a child when she was 18 years old.
She tried to hide her pregnancy as much as possible, but as her belly began to protrude, she couldn’t keep it a secret from her family.
Since she is a parent who is always benevolent and knows the value of life by volunteering, she thought that there would be no big problem even if she informed her of her pregnancy.
However, her parents’ reaction was very different from what she expected.
‘Erase it.’
‘It’s a disgrace to the family!’
‘How could you do this to us!!’
‘It’s terrible.’
‘The instep of my foot was stamped by the ax I believed in.’
Even the elders who used to adore her.
‘It’s disappointing, Vivian.’
‘Never let her go outside until she is sorted out. Externally, I have to use her studying abroad as an excuse. I’m not sure where to send her.’
Vivian’s heart dropped at the first cold look she received from her parents, who thought that hearing her own circumstances would comfort her and cheer her up.
She was also shocked by her father, who casually told her to ‘clean up’ her child.
Keeping her child from her parents with her powers was never easy.
And when she became pregnant, she was so shocked that the child she had been praying for and praying for was born unhealthy.
Her resentment towards her parents for not taking care of her, her self-doubt for not giving her Mimi health, and even the guilt of her sick child.
It was then that Vivian started to get stronger.
She lived under the watchful eyes of her household, who held Mimi hostage to her.
Even when she had to hand over her successor’s place, which had been her own, to her sister because of her existence as Mimi, Vivian was not greatly frustrated.
She thought it didn’t matter because thanks to her, she was able to do the actress she wanted to be.
Now, all that was left of Vivian was Mimi.
‘All I need is for Mimi to be happy.’
She wants Mimi to be a healthy adult so that she can love everyone else and give birth to her child.
To that end, Vivian could have sacrificed anything.
It was also the reason why I didn’t get involved with men privately.
“Should I get married soon?”
“Because of your flaws, it wasn’t easy to choose someone who would understand. Fortunately, I found someone who was understanding enough to understand your situation.”
She thought it didn’t matter.
She only needed her opponent to be someone who would not harm Mimi.
Her interest in men faded when she gave birth to Mimi.
‘No, I just thought it was like that.’
But this time, as she experienced something special, she became interested in a man for the first time in a long time.
It is also the moment when she realized that she could still feel a rational interest in a man.
It was because of Mimi that she hadn’t been interested in men in the meantime.
It’s not that I couldn’t afford to meet a man.
‘Is that why he was attracted to a man who was nice to Mimi?’
Even though she didn’t have to, she was a man who did her best for Mimi.
The man Mimi loves so much.
It was strange that Vivian wasn’t interested in the man.
If she hadn’t given a man to marry in her family, she would have developed a crush on him.
‘Then she would have liked Mimi too.’
So close.
And on the one hand, she was also worried.
‘I don’t know if Mimi will accept that person.’
Because her daughter’s eyes were already unusual, she was worried that she would be able to accept the man she had given her as her father.
The man from her family was 9 years older than her.
It wasn’t that her age connected her flawed self.
He had already given birth to many children by her concubine, and all the children he saw from her concubine were her daughters, and the reason he married her this time was because he wanted to see her son.
In addition, she says that she is also a fan of her own.
So, despite giving birth to her sick daughter, he offered to marry her.
“Hello.”
“Ah! Miss Vivian. We finally meet like this. I am a real fan.”
I hoped my daughter would look good enough to be satisfied with, but is it because I already saw a face with too high a standard?
Normally, I would have thought this was okay, but I didn’t like it when I saw the face.
“I have heard a lot from you.”
CEO of a company that runs a restaurant franchise.
The value of the company he was running was not great, and he was from a family with a long history, so he could connect with Vivian.
“To be honest, when I heard that Vivian had a child, I was very shocked. He thought he could be Vivian’s first man. But I decided to understand. Because I have a child, I must have had a chance.”
Vivian’s expression hardened at the man’s mention of Mimi.
The man, not recognizing her change, continued.
“I like children. Taking care of my children is all about me. I plan to educate Vivian’s daughter without discrimination.”
“… My daughter is not in need of an education. She doesn’t even want to put her burden on the child. All I want is for Mimi to be loved and grow up. Receiving love from her mother and love from her father evenly.”
“She is a weak child, so I understand that her heart is weak. However, I do not want to discriminate between Vivian’s daughter and my future child. I absolutely hate discrimination.”
The man was fantasizing as if he had already married Vivien and had her child.
I don’t think it’s been a long time since I’ve been this uncomfortable while having a conversation.
After accepting the man’s excitement for a while, Vivian pondered and asked the man.
“There is something I would like to ask you.”
“Haha, it seems that you are curious about me. Do whatever you want. For Vivian, everything is open-minded.”
In fact, it is Vivian who has not liked a man since earlier, as if he was trying to interfere too much with Mimi.
She didn’t want to discriminate between Mimi and the child she gave birth to, so she wanted to throw the tea she was drinking into her face when she said she would educate them equally.
What the hell is she going to do to a child who is having a hard time just living each day?
I wanted to get out of this place right away, but I was holding back my anger because I thought I shouldn’t harm the family.
‘I can’t be with this man.’
Vivian racked her brains trying to figure out how to turn a man down without getting too upset.
And remembering that what this man wanted was his son, he asked.
“What would you do if I couldn’t have a son and gave birth to a daughter?”
“Hmm, you are asking a heavy topic. I have only seven daughters. Even the elders of my family, who cherished me because of my excellent ability to conceive, gradually expressed their disappointment at me because I only had too many daughters.”
Reproductive ability is what the men of the family are most forced to do.
It was important to give birth to many children and create children to sell all over the place.
And, if possible, they preferred boys who could be sold at a higher price than girls.
“I also needed proof that I could give birth to a boy. But maybe it’s because I’ve already given birth to a lot of children, so I don’t feel attracted to women. Then I found out that Vivian was looking for her husband.”
The man who was her usual fan of Vivien wanted to marry her.
So she asked the elders of the family to arrange a marriage between Vivian and her on the pretext of having a son for her.
“In fact, the elders of the family strongly opposed her marriage to Vivian, who gave birth to a weak child. Still, if I were Vivian, I actively appealed to her for wanting to have more children, so she gave her permission. I’d love to see the elders of my family happy, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to make my marriage to Vivian unhappy.”
The man must have thought that if he said that, she would make Vivian happy.
It doesn’t mean that she married her in order to have a boy, but because she felt her attraction to her and used her boy as an excuse, she said.
But after hearing her story, Vivian wasn’t happy at all.
She tried to reject a man on the pretext that she would not be able to bear a son, but the method was blocked.
‘Even if I don’t show it to Mimi, I can guess her reaction. What should I do?’
If Mimi told that guy that he should call him daddy from now on, she said she didn’t like it and she would start a game.
To be honest, even Vivian didn’t like that man anymore.
“I’m sorry, but I need to wake up today.”
“Yes? Suddenly?”
“Yes, sorry. Mimi is looking for me.”
She felt sorry for Mimi, but even with false excuses, she wanted to get out of this position.
“Ah! Are you going to your daughter now? Now that this has happened, I think it would be good to meet and talk with your daughter today. We should be together from now on, so wouldn’t it be good for both of us if we met beforehand and made friends?”
Vivian responded in an acting tone to the man who said nothing.
“I’m sorry, but when a child is sick, it’s forbidden to enter unless you’re an official. She doesn’t even like strangers Mimi.”
“Yes?”
“I’ll just go. Take care.”
After bowing politely, Vivian quickly walked out of the store so the man couldn’t catch her.
“Now, hold on! You have to give me your phone number… !”
He heard the voice of a man urgently speaking from behind, but Vivian pretended not to hear and hurriedly walked away.
Although she lied to Mimi that she had to go see her because of her business, she didn’t lie about where she was headed.
As soon as the line ended, Vivian headed to the hospital where his daughter was being hospitalized.
She thought it would be nice for Mimi to have her father, but she wasn’t sure if any of the men she connected with in the house would take Mimi with her utmost care.
‘I don’t want you to be kind like that man…’
Vivian’s head was complicated because there was already a target for comparison that was too perfect.
In addition, I was worried about how to deal with the incident that I had abandoned and ran away from.
How could she convince her parents and the elders of her family, who were outspoken about Mimi as her own fault, that the man was really not good enough?
Vivian sighed deeply before sitting in the driver’s seat of his car and starting it.
The days ahead were bleak.
