My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1962

There were only seven or eight days left before they would reach Graystone.

As they got closer, a hint of greed crept into Manfred's heart.

Sometimes, twisted thoughts would surface. If he discarded the copper mirror, even if Vivian found her parents, she wouldn't be able to take them back with her.

She would have to return frequently. And if she did, he would get to see her again.

The moment the thought emerged, it threatened to consume all reason. But the moment he looked at Vivian, it vanished just as quickly.

He could be ruthless, deceitful, and shameless with anyone else—but not with her.

Inside the carriage, Vivian could sense Manfred's silence. At first, she chose not to disturb him.

But when she saw he was stuck in that gloomy mood for too long, she finally asked, "Is something on your mind?"

Hearing her words, Manfred turned his gaze toward her. Vivian's clear, sincere eyes reflected nothing but genuine concern. Yet, under such a pure and unguarded gaze, Manfred found himself at a loss for words.

Their eyes met.

And in that moment, Vivian suddenly understood what was weighing on him. She fell silent too.

For a while, neither of them spoke.

That night, they stopped at an inn. Even then, neither spoke much.

Kemp and the others stood by quietly.

Seeing the two of them so silent, Kemp had countless questions running through his mind, but none of them made it past his lips.
