Chapter 374

Toronto, located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, is the largest city in Canada and the capital of Ontario province.

Because it was late August, Toronto was about to enter autumn, making the weather very comfortable. Vivian Chow specially drove to Pearson International Airport to pick up Arthur!

"Arthur, I'm starting school next month. Do you want to have a look at the University of Toronto?" Vivian affectionately hugged Arthur.

"Sure," they shared a kiss, "Let's leave the airport first."

"Yeah, let's go home!" Vivian held Arthur's hand as they walked to the car park.

Vivian's villa was located in the Bayview Village community of North York, Toronto, a famous affluent area with a good environment and excellent security.

It was a double-story French-style villa with over 5500 square feet of indoor space and a basement of more than 2000 square feet. The front and rear gardens were shaded by tall trees!

On the sofa in the living room, Arthur held Vivian in his arms. "You're going to the University of Toronto soon for further studies. You shouldn't be bored anymore, right?"

"Yeah, I've visited a few times. The St. George campus is the main one and it's right in the city, so it's convenient to get to!"

The University of Toronto has three campuses; the main one, St. George, is in downtown Toronto, the Scarborough campus is on the eastern outskirts, and the Mississauga campus is on the western outskirts.

As Vivian spoke, she cupped Arthur's face, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"

Arthur directly kissed her and pressed Vivian down on the sofa, "I'll eat you!"

Then, he reached out to caress her curves, and passionate, fiery kisses rained down.

Vivian fervently wrapped her arms around Arthur's neck, aroused by the sensations in her chest.

Her flawless long legs wrapped around Arthur's waist.

Shortly after, Arthur unbuttoned her blouse, lifted her bra, and started kissing her; Vivian let out a moan and instinctively helped Arthur remove his obstructive clothing.

Touching her soft skin, Arthur jested, "It's so beautiful!"

Vivian licked her lips, panting, "Arthur, take me to bed..."

Later that night, Arthur woke up in bed, holding Vivian in his arms. Her long, sleek black hair was spread out over her fair skin.

Arthur yawned and caressed her delicate body.

"Hey, it's dark already," Vivian said lazily as she opened her eyes. She looked at the love marks on her chest and remembered their wild intimacy earlier, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Let's get up and take a shower, then go out for something to eat," Arthur suggested, planting a kiss on her lips.

"Carry me, please. I feel so weak right now," Vivian stretched out her arms, "Just a quick shower in the bathroom later. I can't handle more excitement!"

"You need more exercise," Arthur laughed, carrying her to the bathroom...

"Cough, cough," Vivian coughed while rinsing her mouth at the bathroom sink and threw a playful, annoyed glance at Arthur, who was soaking contentedly in the tub. Her expression seemed to say, "Are you satisfied now?"

Arthur deliberately blinked as if to say he was very satisfied indeed!

...

Vivian drove Arthur in the Mazda MX-5 along Yonge Street to the Waterfront Park near Lake Ontario, close to the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays, the only MLB team in Canada.

"We passed the University of Toronto on the way. Can you drive to school?"

Vivian nodded, "Almost. I'm just going for further studies, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I've been in the industry for many years now. Studying some professional courses will be useful in the future."

"The view of Lake Ontario is really nice," Arthur said, leaning against the car and holding Vivian while admiring the vast lake, shared by both Canada and the U.S.

Vivian leaned entirely against Arthur's chest, holding his arms around her waist. "If you come next month, it'll be even livelier. The Toronto International Film Festival will be held here mid-month."

"There's also the Venice International Film Festival at the beginning of next month," Arthur laughed and kissed her cheek.

"Yes, and Rumble in the Bronx has grossed over 30 million dollars in North America!"

"Yeah, 32 million dollars," Arthur smiled. "And the video market is booming too."

"Right now, it feels like Jack Chan has reached his peak. My last movie in Hong Kong was an action comedy with Jack Chan called City Hunter!"

"Peak?" Arthur laughed. The real peak would come with the release of the Rush Hour series.

"Yeah, the newspapers say Jack Chan is spending 200 million HKD to shoot a racing action blockbuster Thunderbolt in Japan. Also, several Hollywood studios are bidding for the North American rights to Jack Chan's films."

Vivian said this and then glanced at Arthur.

"Yes, MGM is in contact too. Earlier this year, Drunken Master II was released in Hong Kong and they're filming Thunderbolt now, but Golden Harvest's asking price is pretty high," Arthur shrugged. Golden Harvest's price for both movies was 18 million dollars.

Currently, New Line Cinema is still negotiating the North American rights for Jack Chan's movies with Golden Harvest.

Arthur wasn't optimistic about the box office for Thunderbolt, a racing movie. Rumble in the Bronx had jaw-dropping stunts that amazed everyone and made the audience go wild.
