MY UNKNOWN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 62
With a scornful smile on his face, Tim said, “Turn right when you go out. Vivian will be in the second to the last room on your left.”
Not wasting any more time, John stood up and made his way out. Once he was out of sight, Adrian pushed the women away in disgust. He was just about to leave as well, but then, he heard Tim’s voice.
“Don’t blame me for not reminding you. John is the only one she wants to meet. If you go there, John may not get what he wants.”
Adrian stopped in his tracks for a second before the three of them went out one after the other, closing the door behind them. Except for the footsteps of waiters walking by, the corridor went silent again.
“You stay. I’ll go there by myself.” John set his sight on the corridor, put one hand into his trouser pocket, and started to make his way over as if nothing had happened.
But before he could walk away, Adrian grabbed John’s arm and said, “No. What if there’s a trap set up there? Vivian still can’t forget you. What if she tries to rape you?”
The moment John heard about the possibility of Vivian trying to force him to sleep with her, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes and he grasped Adrian’s wrist tightly.
“Ouch, it hurts. Be gentle…”
John shook off Adrian’s hand.
Amy said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Song. Mr. Shi can fight ten people on his own right now. Unless they are special soldiers, they aren’t likely to win against him.”
Adrian shook his head. “The problem is that Mr. Shi doesn’t beat women. He is a gentleman.” John snorted. “Are there any other women besides Nina?”
Hearing his words, Adrian,
Richard,
and Amy were speechless.
Seeing how stunned his words had left the three of them, John left.
It was not until John had disappeared around the corner that Adrian realized what had just happened. He put his arm on Richard’s shoulder and sighed. “Mr. Shi always says sweet words nowadays. Is he still the same person?”
Amy felt the exact same way. “Having a partner makes people change. The same goes for James and Mr. Shi.”
Adrian clicked his tongue and nodded. He couldn’t agree with her more. Then, all of a sudden, Richard’s shoulder disappeared from under his elbow and he staggered.
“Richard, what are you doing?” Adrian shouted. ‘What if I fell and my face got ruined?’ he thought to himself.
“If Mr. Song fell down, Henry would have given you a lot of trouble,” Amy reminded Richard.
“Henry will make trouble for me if I let Mr. Song continue to lean on me.” Richard moved aside. Amy blinked. ‘How could I forget that Adrian is different from others? It won’t be a big deal if he gets close to a woman,
but it will be troublesome if he gets close to a man.’ Adrian had no idea what to say.
“Are we going to wait for Mr. Shi here?” Amy walked forward and looked at the door of the second to the last room on the left side. The door was closed.
“Stop thinking about it. There is nothing we can do right now.” Adrian wanted to put his arm on Richard’s shoulder again. He was used to having Henry’s shoulder to lean on, but when he remembered what Richard had said just moments ago, he withdrew his arm silently.
“We can either book a private room, or go to the hall to listen to music, and dance. We can’t wait out here in the corridor. It’s one of the rules of the Silverhall Nightclub.
But we can’t book a private room right now. Private rooms have to be booked in advance. That’s how it is in Silverhall Nightclub.” Out of the three of them, Adrian knew the most about the nightclub.
“Let’s just go out and wait.” With that, Adrian turned around.
The three of them had only taken two steps forward when they saw Vivian in front of them. She had long, silky hair, delicate make-up, and a smile on her face. Her white and pink dress was just like a pure lotus that didn’t have even a trace of mud on it.
She was in a place of feasting and revelry, and to a lot of people, she might seem a little out of place. But strangely enough, as the three of them looked at her face, they felt that she fit this place a lot.
If it weren’t for the fact that they knew she was Vivian, Adrian would have thought that she was a prostitute from the Silverhall Nightclub.
“Mr. Song, long time no see,” Vivian greeted him with a smile. Then she looked at Richard and Amy and said, “I see you are also here. John must be waiting for me, right?”
Adrian squinted his beautiful eyes and stared at her, trying to figure out what she was plotting. However, she seemed very calm.
“John is waiting for me. I’m sorry, Mr. Song. Please excuse me.” Without waiting for a reply, Vivian walked past Adrian.

Adrian watched as Vivian disappeared around the corner. Then, he crossed his arms and said, “Do you feel anything wrong with Vivian? Why do I feel like she dressed up that way on purpose? Amy, you are also a woman. What does your intuition tell you?”
“She is vulgar,” said Amy.
Adrian turned to her and asked, “Vulgar? She’s wearing pure-looking clothes.”
“She dressed up and did her make-up that way to hide her vulgarity. She is different from the Vivian I saw before. Mrs. Shi once said that Vivian looked pure and innocent, but now she doesn’t,” Amy explained.
Adrian frowned. “I agree with you. Forget it. We should go now, or we will be humiliated by Tim’s men.”
With that, the three of them made their way to the dance hall.
Both Richard and Amy simply kept their eyes on the private box John was in the entire time. Adrian, on the other hand, ordered a drink and went to the dance floor to join the revelry after a while.
The room was still quiet.
When Vivian pushed the door open, the first thing she saw was John standing with his back to her, gazing at the oil painting hanging on the wall.
This room was different from the one where Tim had been in. That one was more like an entertainment center. This room, on the other hand, was more like a lounge that was more for resting than anything else.
It was a very spacious room. In addition to the basic entertainment facilities, there were a table, chairs, a bed, and other furniture, and they were all from luxury brands. Its interior design made it seem so warm.
Before she came, John had already looked around. And when he heard the footsteps and the door closing behind him, he didn’t turn around. Instead, he simply asked, “Did you make this painting?”
For a second, Vivian was stunned. Then she smiled and said, “I thought I would be the first one to speak. Yes, I made it.
John, if you like it…”
“It’s not good. You shouldn’t try to imitate her. You’ll never reach her level,” John said as he glanced at her casually.
The oil paintings hanging on the wall were similar to the ones Nina had made, both in color and technique, so he noticed it as soon as he came in.
During the half a year when Nina was absent, John bought all her works and hung them in every corner of the North Yard, as well as in his office.
He had been enjoying Nina’s paintings for more than half a year. How could he not notice Vivian’s tricks?
Vivian’s face turned pale before returning to normal in the blink of an eye. “I just really admire her talent and want to learn from her. John, please don’t wrong me. Our paintings aren’t exactly the same.
I just want to welcome you back, John. You disappeared for a year. You have no idea how sad I was.” Vivian opened a bottle of red wine and handed him a glass.
When John didn’t take it, Vivian tightened her grip on the glass. Hatred flashed through her eyes for a second before she smiled all of a sudden. “John, I know you don’t like me. You even pretended to be dead to escape from our wedding.”
She took a sip of red wine and wiped the corner of her mouth gently with the pulp of her finger. Then, she opened her mouth slightly, licked it clean, and smiled, trying to seduce him.
But her attempt was all in vain. At this point, John was as abstinent as a monk. Nina was the only one he liked.
“Where is he?”
“Who?” After pretending not to know who he was talking about, Vivian suddenly laughed at herself. “I really envy Henry. He was able to call you back with a phone call. I, on the other hand, couldn’t find you no matter how hard I tried. I just wanted to ask you for an explanation. I wanted you to clarify why you did what you did, so that I wouldn’t be under the pressure of the public’s opinion on the internet, but…”
‘But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find you. At first, I really thought something had happened to you, so I was extremely scared.
You know what, John? I was really scared. I spent every day and night crying. I was afraid that you really died.
But it turned out to be nothing but fraud,’ Vivian sneered inwardly.
With all the red wine in her glass gone, Vivian walked up to the man in front of her with a smile and said, “John, can you kiss me?”
The more she said, the more anxious she became. Her smiling eyes widened as if she had gone crazy.
“If you kiss me, I will tell you where he is Okay.”
