Chapter 23 Open the Door

She really didn't expect that Vincenzo, who initially seemed to be the least urgent person to find her after a day of disappearance, would actually be the most anxious one, even though his attitude was not good at allstill horrible.

With this thought in her mind, Lilian decided to honestly replyied with a text message, "Vincenzo, I am at Orchid Kindergarten, locked inside, and have to stay the night until someone can unlock the gate. can't return to City C. I can't come tonight."

After sending the message, Lilian waited for a response from Vincenzo, but she didn't see any for a long time. He was probably raging, maybe even thinking about how to strangle her...

*With his character of seeking revenge for any wrongdoing, he wouldn't use this incident to retaliate against the magazine, right? With his abilities, he could settle scores **after the autumn season* *with ten magazines**, and that would still be* *being* *not enough for him to play with.*

With some worries, Lilian quickly sent another text message, "I'm telling the truth, don't mess around." Vincenzo still didn't respond...

*What's wrong with this annoying man? *

Lilian sat on the steps, feeling melancholic and anxiously lookeding ahead. The night wind blew with a slight chill, making her rub her hands. It was so cold nippy outside that she was sure to catch a cold after staying out for the whole night, but only one classroom was still open and she didn't want to stay inside anymore.

She was afraid she would cry again.

Lilian opened the music player on her phone and focused her attention on the music. After listening for a while, drowsiness came over her and Lilian fell asleep, hugging her knees.

In a daze, Lilian had a dream where Vincenzo set the magazine on fire. Vincenzo laughed wildly as he burned it, saying, "Lilian, this is what happens when you don't listen to me!"

No matter how she pleaded, her uncle was on the side hitting her, saying that she had brought the devil upon them, saying and that they shouldn't have raised her...

Startled by the dream, Lilian suddenly woke up, sweat cold on her forehead. The wind blew, making her feel even colder. That damn Vincenzo, he even appeared in her dreams. If this continued, she would definitely develop a fear of Vincenzo.

"Sss..."

The sound of sudden brakes rang out.

Suddenly, two beams of car lights shone intensely, illuminating Lilian and glaring blinding her eyes. Lilian hurriedly shielded her eyes and heard the sound of a car door opening, causing her to stand up and look over.

*Who would come to the kindergarten so late, could it be a teacher?*

Within her sight, Vincenzo's tall figure appeared in the strong light, his collared shirt slightly wrinkled, and his tie askew. His short hair fluttered in the night breeze, and his handsome face was particularly captivating under the light. His eyes glared at her with a hint of fierceness, his expression very unpleasant...

*"No way..." Lilian gasped, could it be that dreams and reality were overlapping? Was she still dreaming? How could Vincenzo **from C City**just* *appear here?*

Lilian rubbed her eyes, but the illusion of Vincenzo didn't disappear.

*This is bad... It's the real Vincenzo.*

Vincenzo stared at her without saying a word, unbuttoned his shirt cuffs and rolled up his sleeves. He walked forward and forcefully pulled the heavy iron gate, his eyes filled with annoyance. Then he lifted his foot and kicked the gate.

‘"Bang!’"

The sound startled Lilian, and she weakly asked, "Vincenzo, what... what are you doing?"

She was so scared that she stuttered.

"Open the gate."

Vincenzo tugged on his tie, rudely kicked kicking the iron gate again.

*Did he mean that he wanted to kick open the gate with his foot?*

Lilian waved her hands repeatedly, "There's no need, someone should come to open the gate tomorrow..."

"Lilian, don't fucking bullshit with me, get out of the way!" Vincenzo angrily yelled, bursting out with foul language and venting all his anger on the gate, as if he wanted to release all his frustration in this moment.

*Damn it, knowing that she was going to interview Yoo-na, he made an exception and let that woman stay in his office. But she stood him up. He waited at the **studio**E.S headquarters* *from morning till afternoon, canceling all his meetings!*

He thought she had gotten into an accident, so he sent everyone in the secretary's office to check all the hospitals, big and small. Afraid that she would nag him afterwards, he even called the magazine company in the role of Yoo-na's assistant to inquire about her whereabouts.

*Acting all sneaky like an underground lover! What a load of crap! Instead of going to work, that damn woman went to some godforsaken nursery* *school**! And she even turned off her phone! *

"Oh..." Lilian was frightened by the hostility in Vincenzo's eyes and obediently backed away.

*Could it be that he saw her message and rushed all the way from **C City**home,* *deliberately? *

Lilian silently glanced at the time on her phone. Sure enough, it had been three hours since she sent the message.

*He must have rushed here without stopping.**..*

Lilian suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Seeing the big iron gate being kicked with a loud bang, she couldn't help but feel scared. She strongly believed that he was venting his anger on the gate...

"’Bang—'"

The securely locked gate was now kicked open like that. Vincenzo walked toward her in big strides, his whole body exuding an ominous aura, and she instinctively shrank back in fear. "Lilian, try hiding taking one more step!" Vincenzo coldly growled.

"Lilian, try hiding one more step!" Vincenzo coldly growled.

"..."

Lilian froze in her tracks. Vincenzo took three quick steps and pressed her against the wall, lowering his head to fiercely capture her lips and tongue.

"Hmm..." Lilian, who had been standing in the cold wind, suddenly felt a warm embrace that made her feel a little hot. His kiss was ferventeager and domineering, forcing Lilian to tilt her head back and endure.
