Victoria picked up the cup beside her and drank some water. Just when she finished drinking it and put it down, Roderick naturally picked up the remaining water and drank it all. Then, he placed his cup in the middle.
Seeing that, Victoria stared at him, this man was truly childish.
However, Roderick was actually happy to do it. After taking away the dining plate, he also changed the ingredients. As Victoria drank the soup, she already felt a little full and she couldn't eat too much for dinner.
In the end, she had just finished eating the fruit pickled vegetables, and immediately after, there was also a sweet dessert. Victoria was so enchanted with the cream on top that he unknowingly smiled, and when Roderick saw this, he took a piece of paper and gently caressed Victoria's delicate chin, wiping it for her with a gentle hand.
Victoria looked at him, the gentle movement at the corner of her mouth caused her heart to race, and she somewhat frantically avo
Kaylin immediately revealed the sweetest and most enchanting smile, and said to Roderick: "Mr. Arnold, hello, my name is Kaylin."Victoria at the side saw all of Grace and her daughter's thoughts, they really did not mind, and wanted to use her relationship to strike up a conversation with Roderick, but she thought that because of what Kaylin had said about her son, Roderick already hated Kaylin to the core.Victoria saw that the mother and daughter pair wanted to attract Roderick's attention with their thick face, she thought, climbing up to Roderick, it would definitely benefit her position in the Marquez family in the future, she extended her hand out and naturally held onto Roderick's arm, introducing him to Grace and her daughter, "Auntie, I will formally introduce my new boyfriend, I believe you all know him!"Grace and Kaylin's eyes were wide open. Seeing Victoria naturally holding Roderick's arm and claiming to be his girlfriend, they simply felt a kind
The sound of the zither lingered in the air, it was captivating and lightly strumming everyone's heartstrings. Victoria couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, it was as gentle as the morning sun.Roderick's gaze landed on her body. Seeing her smile, he was extremely happy. It seemed that using the piano would allow him to enter her heart even more.Not far away, Austin looked at that figure who was playing the musical, and his heart ached. This made him recall the times when he taught her how to play the piano, how to practice together with her, how to laugh and grow up together with her, those were the most beautiful times of his life.But at this moment, the one who could play with her was no longer him, but another man.When the last few strings of zither music finished, and the perfect performance ended, a round of applause rang out in the banquet hall. Victoria was led by the hand by Roderick, and she gave a plain greeting gift, but the man be
This man naturally had a way to make her submit, so he secretly bought some painful things for the waiter to do for her. He then added something into the juice that she liked. After she finished drinking it, she would naturally leave with him.Tonight, he could do whatever he wanted.As the waiter was carrying it over, a female guest bumped into him and his tray tilted slightly. The cup that was originally on the left was now moved to the side slightly, changing the other cup that was not filled to that position.The waiter reacted and quickly looked at the juice on the tray. He moved the glass a bit, but he didn't notice that the wine cup on the tray was misplaced.He walked up to the middle-aged man and gave the female model the glass of juice he had mistaken as his favorite drink, the cantaloupe juice.On the dance floor at the side, Victoria finally finished the last melody, and said to Roderick: "My feet are hurting, let's rest for a bit!"
"Roderick, please send me to the hospital!" Victoria hugged his arm and begged weakly.Roderick smiled at her pitiful look. She was really cute, he reached out and hugged her, Victoria instinctively wrapped his arms around his neck and carried her towards the elevator.Her blurry eyes were filled with confusion, "Roderick, where are you bringing me to? I want you to take me to the hospital... Did you hear that!""Don't worry, you'll be fine soon." Roderick felt that this was the right time. This was the chance for him and her to break through their most intimate relationship.And, in a moment, in the room, the woman would be begging him.He would be happy to be her antidote.The elevator flew at high speed towards the 48th floor. Very quickly, it opened with a ding in a few seconds, and Roderick carried Victoria to his room that he had slept in tonight. After swiping the card, Roderick closed the door, and carried her towards the large doubl
Seeing that she did not say anything, Roderick frowned. He reached out and hooked her chin, "As long as you speak, you do not have to soak in cold water. I can make you very comfortable."Victoria slapped his hand away angrily, and said unceremoniously, "No need! Thank you."She was happy to take a cold bath."You were obviously very enthusiastic just now." Roderick smiled.Victoria's cold water had reached to her waist, and she also felt a chill on her body, but the warmth had disappeared, but the cold feeling was also not feeling good, she felt her pores shrinking.Although the weather was already late in June, she still felt very cold even though she rarely bathed in cold water. She wrapped her arms around her chest to resist the coldness.Roderick squatted beside her to guard her, and then, to admire how her face turned from red to white from the cold, and his red lips also turned from tender to colorless.Seeing his actions, the
Could it be that this man had soaked his clothes and then decided not to wear them again at night?Roderick looked at the woman who was staring at him warily on the balcony. He smiled and mocked, "Why haven't you left yet? Didn't you want to leave?"He did know that her good friend was in the city. Seeing her with the phone in her hand, she must have asked for help. Her friend isn't in town?Victoria bit her lips and said to him, "Alright, let's sleep here tonight! But can you get your assistant to buy a suit of clothes tomorrow?""Is he begging me?" Roderick's voice contained an indescribable warmth and hatred within the quiet room.Victoria was begging him now, but after thinking for a while, she stared at him and said, "Tonight, I will accompany you to the banquet, you will owe me one, and now I want you to repay me, ask your assistant to prepare a set of clothes for me, and also borrow his car for me."Roderick let out a pfft, and direct
"Mm ...Cold ..." Victoria mumbled in her sleep and pulled on her blanket. A person who had a fever would not feel the heat, but would instead feel cold.Roderick immediately reached out and hugged her, tightly tucking her in. Then, he jumped off the bed, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and dialed the service number."Hello, how can I help you?" The waitress's sweet voice sounded."Send me a set of men's clothing. Ladies' clothing, room 4036. Men's: 1.87; ladies: 1.65. Please hurry." Roderick very neatly said his piece. After hearing the waiter's answer, he hung up and immediately made a call to the assistant, Carson. He told Carson to go and wait at the entrance of the hotel immediately.Roderick looked at the girl beside him and felt his heartstrings tighten. Worried, he covered his eyes with his hands as he sat on the edge of the bed and reached out for Victoria's warmth.The fever seemed to come quickly, and the temperature on her fore
Looking at her beautiful face that was peacefully sleeping, Roderick suddenly felt a sense of mission that he had never experienced before. It was as if in his life, there was not only one more son, but also one more woman in his life.He swore in his heart, Victoria, I will definitely make you my woman.As for the woman who was in a deep slumber, she had no idea where her dream had gone. She didn't even know that there was a man wholeheartedly guarding her from the side.In the Marquez's residence.Grace and her daughter were so angry that she almost died. Grace was angry because Victoria climbed up such a big tree like Roderick, was she planning to steal the Marquez family's property?Kaylin, on the other hand, was filled with jealousy and envy, and an intense unreconciled feeling enveloped her. Victoria had met Roderick five years ago, how could she be so lucky?And Austin, who clearly knew that she had betrayed him five years ago, still
When Victoria knocked on the door but to no avail, she decided to just stop. She had to take care of these photos anyway, it didn't matter who took care of them.Even if he wanted to, she would let him handle it!She didn't sleep well last night, so she decided to take a shower before going to bed.Victoria showered, washed and blew her hair. An hour passed just like that, and she was currently leaning on the balcony, enjoying the night scene.Suddenly, the sound of a door opening could be heard behind her. She was startled for a moment. She turned around and saw a man with a gloomy face walking towards her. She frowned slightly. "Who dares to provoke him again?""Have you dealt with the photos?" Victoria asked, if he did not deal with it, she could take it back and deal with them herself.When Roderick's slender body stepped onto the balcony, Victoria's nerves tensed up. In the next second, the man pulled her into her embrace, with one hand
The man on the other side cut his steak gracefully. Looking at how hard she was using her strength, he really didn't know what this woman was thinking all day.However, there was one thing that he was sure of. This woman definitely did not think of him all day long.After eating, Victoria saw that it was still early, so she turned to the man beside him and said, "You don't have to send me back, you can go back to your home! I can stop the taxi.""How can I let you go back so late? What happened to you that I could explain to my son?" As Roderick said this, he domineeringly grabbed her wrist and walked towards his car.Victoria thought, even if he was that happy to see her off, she would not be so unreasonable. She sat in his car, just in time, they were not far from her house, it only took twenty minutes to get there.Victoria got off the carriage and carried her chest from the back. Just as she was about to wave goodbye to the man with the Driver,
She no longer wanted to eat here. Grace always did these kinds of actions, making her feel depressed, and thus, she was not in the mood to eat.And she thought, Roderick definitely did not want to eat this meal, so she could only say to him, "Alright! Then let's find an excuse to leave!"Roderick heard her softening voice, just now, he was controlled by jealousy and had treated her roughly, but in his heart he was a little regretful, he pulled her and said towards the direction of the hall, "An excuse for me."In the hall, Austin was currently taking the painting that Desmond handed to him. He held the painting and stopped moving, and did not leave, as if he was waiting to see Victoria and leave.And at this time, outside the door, Victoria and Roderick's figures walked in at the same time. Roderick was still handing her with ten fingers tightly.Seated on the sofa, Kaylin looked at their intimate expressions, and felt so jealous that she was about
After waiting for a while, Grace scolded, "You clumsy oaf! What's wrong with you? I just told you to be careful. How could you pour them out? You can leave now. Go back to the kitchen!"The servant quickly left after hearing what Grace said, and the photos that were scattered on the table continued to spill all over. Desmond was also very vexed, he turned to Grace and said, "Hurry up and tell them to keep the photos.""Let me do it!" After Victoria finished speaking, she stood up and folded the photos. She did not want the photos to fall into Grace's hands again.As Victoria tidied up, Grace and Kaylin looked at each other, and noticed the undisguised jealousy in Roderick's eyes, as well as his expressionless face.After Victoria finished packing, she put the chest aside. When she left, she needed to take it with her.At this moment, the servant came over. "Madam, there's someone ringing the doorbell."Grace cast a sidelong glance at her, "T
After Kaylin finished pouring the tea, she raised her head, only to see Roderick's gaze on her, a look of jealousy and unwillingness sweeping across her heart. She had obviously dressed so beautifully tonight, yet Roderick's eyes did not land on her.She ran into the kitchen, Grace looked at her, Kaylin bit her lips, and her expression clearly showed her disappointment."Mom, what should we do? He didn't even look at me." Kaylin bit her lips and complained.A flash of ruthlessness appeared in Grace's eyes. Did Roderick really like Victoria that much? Did he know her past? In the past, when she was fell in love with Austin. She remembered the last time she cleaned up her room, she had even gotten some pictures of her, and they were all intimate photos of her with Austin.Looks like she ought to let Roderick admire it properly as well.She narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, then came up with an idea. She turned to the maid who was washing the
The Marquez Mansion was right in front of the high-end residential area, so Victoria's car was driving in and went straight to the direction of the huge villa. When she arrived at the gate of the Marquez Mansion, Victoria did not drive in, and stopped right beside.Roderick followed her out of the car, and went to the door and pressed the doorbell.Roderick frowned, did this woman not have any status in this family? There was no key or code.Actually, Victoria was too lazy to take it, because other than her father being at home, she would always come back. Normally, she wouldn't even want to return to this home.She never thought that the one who would open the door from the hall would shockingly be the sexy and fashionable Kaylin. Victoria secretly mocked, thinking that the clothes Kaylin wore today, was for the man beside her to see!"Sis, Mr. Arnold, you're here, come in!" Kaylin displayed warmth, and her smile was beautiful and charming.
Although the girl was rejected, she turned around and watched him leave with longing eyes, leaving behind regret in her heart.When Roderick walked out of the airport, he saw that in the long queue, there was a very eye-catching white car.Victoria also saw him. She pressed open the door, and Roderick opened the door and sat down.When Victoria saw the trace of tiredness between his brows, she couldn't help but ask out of concern, "Do you want me to send you back to rest?"Roderick looked at her sideways, and stubbornly said, "No, I want to go to your house!"Victoria did not speak anymore, the car went into the side drive and started running along the wide airport road. Roderick leaned his hands on his chest, his expression relaxed, and his mouth raised up involuntarily.The Marquez Mansion, around four thirty.Desmond called Grace, who was playing mahjong outside, to let her go home, saying that Victoria would come back to eat lunch
Morning, half past seven.Victoria's biological clock woke her up on time. Her first thought was to see if her son had woken up, but another thought immediately popped up in her mind. Didn't her son get sent abroad yesterday?She immediately relaxed her body and stretched, then continued to sleep on her palm. Without her son by her side, she was too lazy to be like a cat, how comfortable she was.Victoria had been watching Betty's fans fight from the start. When she saw it was 11: 30 in the afternoon, she only woke up when she was really hungry.First, she soaked a cup of milk and stood on the balcony, enjoying the distant scenery of the high-rise buildings. A cool breeze blew.Roderick's villa occupied an extremely rich and natural resource. Leaning against the mountain ridge, the air was fresh and the environment was elegant, causing people to definitely have a wonderful feeling of being able to enjoy it.Victoria casually made some food f
Betty returned to the hotel in a daze. After thinking about it, she could only think of one person, and that was Bryson.Why did this man want to help her? Where did he get the ability to get the chief designer to give her entire line of clothes? That was the latest major investment coveted by many celebrities!This fashion week would be maintained for a week, so it was still very lively here. There were different shows for each day, but for Betty's hotel reception, she received a week's worth of admission cards. She could go to the red carpet anytime, or attend any fashion show.At the same time, among the cards, there was a special invitation to a dinner party at the end of Fashion Week. It was a gathering of celebrities, a lavish feast that attracted the attention of the entire world.Half an hour after Betty received the card, Bryson called. He only said one sentence, "During that banquet, you will be my female companion and attend. When the time come
