She Had Seven Days with Him, and I Had Seven Days Left Chapter 06

After a long silence, Vivian finally spoke, but her voice was ice-cold. “Nathan, do you remember What I told your on our very first day?”

Nathan paused before replying, “You said Daniel was your husband and your primary partner. But Vivian, you don’t even like him—”

“Shut up!” Vivian cut him off with a sharp screech. “Who I like is none of your business!”

Sobs came through the line. “Vivian…”

Vivian hung up on him immediately.

She turned back to my body and gazed at it tenderly, muttering, “Daniel, I’m sorry. I’ll keep my promise. From today on, I’m staying right here to be with you. Don’t worry. I’ll never mess around with other men again.”

With that, she stood up abruptly and made a phone call.

Moments later, four bodyguards hurried in, lifted my body, and carried it out to place it in the front passenger seat of Vivian’s car.

Sitting right there on the dashboard was an insulated flask engraved with “Nate”, featuring a

cartoon likeness of him and Vivian together.

My lifeless body sat with closed eyes, directly facing the insulated flask.

Panicking, Vivian snatched the insulated flask up and hurled it straight out the car window.

She frantically apologized to my body. “Daniel, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’ll never let him or any of

his filthy things near you again.”

She clutched my freezing hand as tears poured down her face.

Soon, the car pulled up to the villa, which I had walked away from just seven days ago.

She carried me back into our bedroom and instructed the staff to crank the air conditioning down to

the lowest setting to preserve my body as best as possible.

“Daniel, we’re home. We’re back. See? I kept my word. I said I’d be back at midnight to be with you,

and here I am.”

Vivian clung to me, laughing and crying at the same time.

Watching from above, I felt no satisfaction, only pity.

For so many days and nights, I’d sat in this very room, counting the days until Vivian came home.

Even though she was always endlessly gentle with me whenever she finally returned, I always knew the distance between our hearts was only growing wider.

“Daniel, we’ve already been together for a full ten years. Remember when we first met and ou made me that hand-cut paper butterfly? You cut your hand up so badly making it.

“And do you remember all those love letters I wrote you? Back then, you said it was love at first sight, and I told you I felt the exact same way.”

Vivian rambled on like she was in a trance, shifting between sweet smiles and playful pouts as she relived the past.

Suddenly remembering something, she flashed a mischievous smile at my corpse. “Almost forgot. You loved keeping all the keepsakes of our time together, didn’t you?”

She scrambled up and started rummaging through the bottom of the closet but came up empty.

Then she checked the nightstand, the wardrobe…

I knew she was searching for the keepsakes we’d once shared. But she’d forgotten one thing. All those things she’d dismissed as “old stuff” had already been thrown away.

“Daniel, where did you put our keepsakes? I remember they were right here… You used to show

them to me all the time, and I just acted annoyed… The last time was…” Vivian muttered to herself.

A sudden realization hit her like a physical blow, and she bolted out of the room like a madwoman.

My soul followed right behind her.

“Naomi, did Daniel throw out a corrugated cardboard box the day he left?” she asked the housemaid, Naomi Clarke.

“Yes, Ms. Hartwell.”

“What was inside that box?”

Naomi froze, startled by how unhinged her usually composed boss looked. “Didn’t you say it was all old stuff? You told Mr. Brooks to throw them out and replace them later. Ms. Hartwell?”

Vivian was stunned.

In an instant, the weight of the past slammed into her chest. She clutched her heart as hot tears burst from her eyes.

Daniel, what on earth have I done… Naomi, go find it! I don’t care what it takes! Get everything in that box back!” Vivian shrieked the command with a frantic, desperate edge.

The household staff jumped in terror and scrambled out the door.

Vivian stumbled back into the bedroom, dropped heavily onto her knees before my body, and wept uncontrollably.
