Chapter 1868

Susan had heard about what happened between the two of them, and it was undeniable that they had
been through a lot.

However, the moment she saw Vivian's smile, she knew then that Vivian must be living a happy life.
Susan was even more confident in her intuition when she saw Kurt standing behind Vivian, always
protecting her. They were basically inseparable.

Susan was well aware that he must be protecting Vivian with his own life.

"Aunt Susan, why did you choose to undergo your student exchange program here? You know, when I
first found out that you were coming, I was so happy, and I still am!”

Vivian, who finally got to meet Susan, immediately popped the question.

For a moment, Susan didn't know how to answer to that.

"I... I'm not sure where I want to go. Since I've never been abroad before, I figured I might as well come
to a place where there's someone I know."

"Well, you've made the right choice! This is definitely where you belong!"

Vivian was giving Susan a thumbs up for what she thought to be the "right choice."

Kurt, who stood at a side, pursed his lips. Nonetheless, he remained silent.

After helping out with Susan's luggage, Vivian noticed that Susan had brought along a dog. The next
second, Vivian's eyes widened in bafflement.

"Aunt Susan, you brought a dog!"





"Um... yeah. I've been taking care of the dog for quite some time. Since I'm starting school soon, my
mom said that she wanted to give the dog away. That's why I brought it here."

Susan was fumbling to come up with an excuse.

Luckily, Vivian was quite a naive person. She didn't bother much about what Susan was saying, but
instead, all her attention was channeled to the dog. Even before Susan could finish her sentence, Vivian
squatted down and wanted to carry the dog in her arms.

"Be careful!”

Kurt saw it and immediately pulled her hand. He was afraid that Vivian would get hurt.

Susan quickly explained, "Don’t worry, the dog won't bite. I bought it in Yeringham. It's really obedient
and gentle."

"Okay."

Vivian's eyes glistened with excitement.

She could tell that the dog's intelligence was remarkable, and it had a protective nature.

Together with the dog, the group left the airport.

When Vivian and Ian came to Atlantius, Sebastian bought an apartment for them since there would be
three of them there.



"Aunt Susan, it's perfect! We have five rooms here, and with you joining US, we're officially fully
occupied!”



Vivian smiled in delight as she started introducing the apartment to Susan.

There are five rooms, but the apartment will be fully occupied if I move in?

While staring at the spacious and beautifully renovated apartment, Susan was baffled by Vivian's
statement.

However, she felt out of place to ask further, given that it was not her apartment.

She then moved her luggage into her room and started unpacking her stuff. When she was done, Kurt
also finished cooking. Just then, a click was heard and someone came in through the door.

Vivian looked up and exclaimed, "Ian, you're back?"

The moment Susan heard what Vivian said, her heart started pounding rapidly and she had a sudden
spike in anxiety.

She held something in her hand and made to come out of her room.

However, before she could leave her room, she heard Vivan saying, "Sigrun, where have you guys been
today? You have been gone for so long! Kurt and I brought Aunt Susan back from the airport already."

Susan halted in her tracks.

"I'm so sorry, Vivi. I went out with Ian to buy some materials since school is starting tomorrow. Ian
needed to buy a whole lot of things."

The woman's voice was gentle and soft, and it was the sweetest sound to anyone's ear.

Susan was stunned.



She gradually walked out of her room and took a peek. In the living room stood the young man who she
did not see for over half a year. However, there was someone else beside him.

It was a gorgeous woman with thick, silky hair, and she was dressed in a brown dress.

"Sigrun, you're really the best! As expected of the person sent by Great-grandpa, you're really doing a
good job at taking care of Ian."

"Vivi..." The woman named Sigrun was evidently embarrassed by her words.

She was seated opposite Ian. After giving him a shy glance, she smiled shyly and her cheeks started
turning bright red.

Meanwhile, Susan started to turn paler by the second.

Still holding on to the object in her hand, she felt like someone had dumped cold water over her head.
The chills penetrated her bones, and it was as though she was disconnected from her surroundings.

Am I... too late?
