Chapter 359 Where's Dorian?

"Ehh?" Seraphina was confused upon hearing Viktor's words, but the next moment, she found herself getting lifted up into his huge arms.

"Ah!~ Viktor!" Seraphina was taken aback as she frantically hugged his neck to not fall off, and right when she was wondering what he was going to do, her heartbeat relaxed upon seeing that he was simply making her lie down on the bed.

But right before she could say anything, she saw him get on the bed as well, lying on his side and facing her, their bodies just a few inches away from each other to the point she could even hear his breathing.

"Now, are you happy?" Viktor asked with a teasing smile, to which Seraphina could only look at him with a slightly petulant look and say, "You are really too stubborn."

"So are you, my beautiful fairy. But at least I might get to have a good sleep tonight. Goodnight," Viktor chuckled before closing his eyes slowly while Seraphina wondered why he said that, and seeing his face up close, especially his lips, she couldn't help but remember what happened before. Just thinking about it made her mind feel blank.

However, she was again distracted by thinking about her realm and the Fruit of the Blessed One and closed her eyes while thinking about these worrying thoughts.

-

Four days passed, and the women of the Snow Mansion were only thinking about a single man, most of them having similar reasons, while Eva was trying to find this playboy for her madam, though she still didn't get any luck in finding him.

Taya had gotten up for work and was only wearing her lace lingerie as she looked at Viktor's jacket beside her with a soft gaze. She brought the jacket close to her face and relished in his intoxicating scent, making her miss him even more.

"Viktor" She softly mumbled and realized that she was feeling crazier with the passing of every day, the longer he was missing.

She found it unbelievable that she stayed away from him for almost two decades when now she felt as if every day without him felt like an eternity.

*Knock*

Suddenly a soft knock on the door startled Taya like a rabbit who quickly put away Viktor's jacket under her bed sheet and put on her nightdress by casually tying the ribbon in the middle.

She opened the door, only to be surprised to see that it was Sayana, "Saya? What happened?" Taya asked gently as she gestured to her to come inside.

Right after Viktor disappeared, the college had their spring break commence, and Taya, fortunately, came up with a convenient excuse for Dorian's disappearance to convince Tiana and Sayana.

However, she never expected them to get so worried about it unless'He couldn't haveNohe would have told me if something like that happened'

"Auntie?" Sayana called out since Taya suddenly seemed distracted.

"Ah, yes, Saya. What happened?" Taya asked as she held Sayana's arms and made her sit down on the bed.

"I still feel a bit uneasyBecause you knowDorian would never leave for a vacation without telling us. So I just wanted to askIs he in some kind of trouble or something? Maybe something auntie is not telling us so that we won't worry?" Sayana asked in a low voice as she looked at Taya.

For some reason, she felt that Taya knew best about Dorian, and maybe she might have some answers she was looking for. After all, she was the one who took him into his family.

Taya realized that Sayana was too sharp as usual, and even if the excuse she told her was genuine, it would only mean that Dorian suddenly left without telling anyone because something urgent came up, and Sayana was asking what kind of urgency that was.

Taya sighed and said, "Saya, Dorian had told me not to tell you to not worry you just like you said. But since you seemed so worried about him, all I can tell you is that he went back to his village to settle some things related to his late parents. After that, he will surely return."

Sayana's brows pulled together as she worriedly asked, "Did he go alone? If not, maybe"

Taya caressed her cheek as she said softly, "Don't worry. I sent some bodyguards along with him. He will be fine, trust me. As for why he is not answering your calls, it is precisely because he doesn't want to worry you and will tell you everything when he is ready."

Sayana softly nodded, though her heart was still feeling uneasy.

Taya couldn't help but observe Sayana, and based on her expression and her tone, Taya couldn't help but think, 'Viktoryou just had to go for Umi's daughterhuh? Wait till I get you in my hands again' Taya could see that nothing serious was going on between Viktor and Sayana, but she could see that this was a girl in love since she herself went through with it, especially with the same man when she was Sayana's age.

And now, she didn't know whether to feel sorry or guilty since Sayana didn't know the truth about Dorian or Viktor and wondered if things would become even more complicated. She also didn't know how Umilia would react about this, but then she suddenly thought about Tiana as well, remembering how she caused a tantrum about Dorian's disappearance the day she arrived, 'NoViktoryougodhe couldn't even leave my daughter alone?'

It was not like Taya never expected this, but she never thought Viktor would be that shameless to even mess with Tiana despite having a relationship with her and even after telling him to not involve himself with Tiana.

Sayana was about to ask Taya something else, but suddenly her nose picked up a familiar scent, making her eyes turn towards the bedsheet.

Her eyebrows raised when she saw the sleeve of a jacket sticking out, and the scent coming from it only seemed to get stronger, and this scent was no different than that of Dorian!

She forgot to breathe for a second, wondering why her teacher Lucien's scent was coming from a jacket she didn't recognize. At the same time, she never saw Taya wear a jacket or anything. It just wasn't her style since she usually dressed elegantly.

So she couldn't help but curiously ask, "Auntie, do you wear a jacket?"
