In short, he loved them both.Early morning.When they passed the parking lot, the little boy immediately looked for Mommy's car, he want to know how Mommy fell. Seeing this, he was immediately stunned, pointing at Victoria's new driveway. "Daddy, Mommy's car window get smashed."Roderick's eyes narrowed as he looked down. He saw that Victoria's red Porsche had broken glass and many dents."It's nothing. I think someone must have made a mistake." Roderick didn't want his son to worry too much."Daddy, can you fix my mommy's car?" The little guy looked up at him pleadingly, because Mommy definitely wouldn't be able to handle something like this.Roderick didn't want to get involved with this woman's matters, but he could not refuse his own son. Then he thought for a moment and then said, "Okay! I'll find someone to fix it for her.""Thank you Daddy, Mommy will be very touched if she knows." The little guy immediately smiled.He did this all because of his son. He didn't need to obtain
Austin looked at one of the doors. It is Victoria's house."Okay, let's go to the room upstairs." After Austin finished speaking to the intermediary, his gaze was fixed on Victoria's door. He sighed softly and got into the lift.The building on the upper floor was a two hundred and forty square meter apartment. Austin took a cursory glance and decided to take it. The intermediary was grinning from ear to ear. He had never seen such a straightforward customer before! He signed a contract directly.Austin frowned as he looked at the furniture. It didn't conform to his standards at all. He decided to immediately have the furniture company move out. He needs new furniture as soon as possible.Victoria was rehearsing while Mina's singing carried a bit of ethereal, full of emotion, and revealed a hint of faint sadness. The accompaniment of the piano, coupled with her enchanting voice, caused one to be captivated by it.After finishing a song, Mina said happily, "Your piano is really great.
"You told me before that five years ago, it was an accident. I believe that between you and Roderick, just like me and Kaylin, it was an accident and a mistake. Victoria, I want you to know that I won't give up on you."With that, Austin strode towards the elevator, leaving behind the astonished Victoria. She had a blank face, but in the end, she bitterly smiled. This stubbornness of Austin did not move her any further, and it only gave her some pressure.Isn't it good to live with each other life?Victoria had just entered the hall when she heard her cell phone ring. She picked it up and saw that it was from Roderick. She frowned. It was clearly just a door, yet this man still wanted to make a call? Do you mind the high cost of the phone call?Could it be her son?"Hey!" Victoria picked up the phone."Make dinner before seven o'clock." With a cold command, he hung up.Victoria looked at the phone with astonishment. She exhaled as she
There was still nothing left of the meal, and the three of them seemed to be extremely hungry.After dinner, Victoria looked at the little guy watching cartoons, while Roderick returned to his room. Victoria sat next to her son and asked him how he had been in school these past few days. The little guy truthfully replied.Victoria suddenly thought of something. She seriously looked at her son and asked, "Franklin, Mommy have the tickets of concert performance after a week. Do you want to go?""Yes!" Will Aunty Betty go?" Franklin's immediately thought that this concert was definitely to accompany his aunty."She really wants to go watch it, but she's so busy to that she can't leave right now. I have two tickets to watch it, so I want someone to watch it with you." Victoria also didn't want to name him.However, the little guy immediately thought of something. "Then I can ask dad to accompany me there!"This was exactly the answer Victoria wa
Austin sighed slightly and said, "Don't wait for me. No matter how long you wait, the decision I made will not change. I also don't want to waste your time.""I am willing to waste my time on you. Austin, I love you so much, and you know that. In these five years, you have taken meticulous care of me, so I am very touched. Other than you, I will not fall in love with another man." When Kaylin was sixteen, she fell in love with him. At that time, she was the same as Victoria, who has a childhood sweetheart. She was so jealous that she was going crazy.Austin's handsome face was filled with determination. "I'm sorry, but I will treat you as a friend and a younger sister. However, you will definitely not be my lover."With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.As he walked by her, Kaylin immediately grabbed him by the small of his back. "But I love you. I don't want to be your friend, and I don't want to be your sister either. I want to be your lover."
Victoria wasn't going to care the price this time, she only picked the clothes that suited her son. As soon as she entered the shop, she was attracted by the cute style of the little princess dress, so she touched the fabric with her hand. Her eyes shined as she looked at the perfectly designed little girl's clothes."Mommy, if you like it, you and daddy can give birth to a younger sister one day, would you buy it?" The little guy at the side had a wonderful idea.Victoria's pretty face immediately flushed red as she quickly withdrew her hand. "Who said I want to be reborn a baby?" Just you are enough."Furthermore, even if she was going to give birth in the future, she would definitely not give birth to this man again.Roderick narrowed his eyes and kept silent.Victoria selected three sets of clothes for her son. When she paid, it was still over a thousand. When she saw the black card, she pulled it out and handed it over.After swiping th
Victoria felt awkward for a few seconds before she nodded. "That's right. He's a friend that I grew up with.""Then your relationship is really good!" The little fellow still didn't understand the complicated feelings between adults."It used to be, but something happened and my feelings for him faded." Victoria seriously answered her son's question."What happened?" Franklin continued to ask.Victoria hesitated for a moment before the man opposite her suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Five years ago, you annulled the engagement. Is that related to me?"Victoria's actions of reaching out to pick up the dishes froze in an instant. Her heart was surging with emotions. He actually knew about the matter of her annulling the marriage five years ago? Had he investigated her past life?"It has nothing to do with you." Victoria calmly replied. In reality, it was because of his behavior that caused her to finish her vacation early and return home.
After twenty minutes, they finally arrived. Victoria thanked him and said, "Thank you. I'll get off at the roadside."After Roderick's car pulled into a nearby paved road, Victoria got out of the car and waved at him with a curved smile. The moment the sports car left, the smile on her face disappeared, and she turned to quickly run into a large auditorium.As the time for the performance got closer and closer, all of the staff and band members tensed up. The rehearsal also seemed to take it very seriously.After the training was over, there were some urgent matters that Mina needed to take care of, so she couldn't do the rehearsal in the afternoon. However, Mina had a few new pieces of music lyrics that she wanted Victoria to play the piano to practice with. Victoria had thought of creating a new song for her, but she couldn't get it out of her mind in the recent years because she has to take care of her son. Now, she finally had the time to create because of R
"Test him? Why?" Victoria did not understand.Roderick also understood that she was a small fry in the business world. He patted her shoulder and said, "I'll tell you about it when we get into the car."After getting into Roderick's car, with the windows tightly closed, Roderick turned to Victoria, who was still waiting for his reply."I suspect that the testament in Yves's hands, you do not get fifty percent of the Marquez Group's shares!" Roderick said directly.Victoria couldn't help but gasp, "Why?""I think that when your father was alive, he did not have any last will, but instead the testament was made after his death. And it was the last will that Grace and Yves formed together. If I'm not wrong, you can't even get any share of the Marquez Group!" Roderick had to give her some preventive measures to prepare her heart.Victoria's face immediately turned pale. If the testament were made by her father after his death, wouldn't the Marquez Group have fallen into Grace's hands? Cou
The morning light was exceptionally bright, as if it was a huge golden crack that split the sky, tearing through the gray sky bit by bit, illuminating the land.Victoria opened her eyes. A ray of sunlight had just pierced into her eyes, causing her to quickly close her eyes, and for the past few days, she had been crying too much, causing her eyes to be dry and sensitive. At this time, a large palm covered her eyelashes in an extremely considerate manner, preventing the sunlight from shining into her eyes again.On Roderick's warm palm, he could feel her long eyelashes blink, and lightly brush the skin on his palm as if it were made of feathers. This made the corner of his sexy mouth hooked up.He pulled up a thin layer of curtains, blocking out the sun and leaving the room in a warm room.Victoria gently blinked her eyes, and after two more blinks, her eyes became clear and bright, as though they were twinkling in stars. Roderick really loved her eyes, when she cried, it made people'
Bryson looked at her and sneered, "It's only now that you know to guard against me, don't you think it's too late?"Betty stared at him, and before long, her pretty face turned pale, "You can't do this, bastard!""Why? Don't you like a bastard?" Bryson continued to refute."You ... To me, I would never like a bastard. I like a gentleman." Betty retorted in an even worse tone.Bryson squinted, in the dark carriage, his eyes were still as sharp as ever, "So, you have a man you like?"Theobald's face appeared in Betty's mind, she thought, "I don't like him, I just admire him! Because he really fits her bill."When she raised her eyebrows she immediately blurted out, "Yes!"Bryson's face looked especially tense and unsightly under the dim blue light. He never thought that this woman would actually have a man he liked."Who is he?""There's no need to tell you!" Betty smirked.Bryson suddenly stepped on the brakes, causing Betty's body to fiercely lean forward. She immediately turned her h
Roderick station is in mourning hall who get attention greatly, have a few come to the business circles personage, come over at once and he dozen a greeting.There were a few business people who came to greet him as a form of courtesy to the CEO of the Arnold Group. Roderick bowed in return, and he stood there, just to accompany Victoria.Austin and his father had arrived at the very last moment, and Austin felt sorry for her.She had Roderick, who never left her side, accompanying her father.Grace sobbed uncontrollably under the condolences of some business partners several times. This caused Victoria to feel extremely disgusted, as her father did not need her to cry like this.After releasing a string of firecrackers in the afternoon, Kaylin took Desmond's portrait and carried his ashes to a black carriage to be buried. Victoria had not been by Desmond's side for many years already, so she did not even know where the tomb he bought was.Roderick sat on the car with Bryson.When the
In the evening, Roderick and Victoria returned together. Roderick did not tell Victoria about the lawyer because she had borne enough pain now.That night, Victoria did not let Betty come over again to take care of her because Betty was also tired last night.That night, after Roderick finished showering, he came to her room wearing a set of casual pajamas. At this time, Victoria did not refuse to accompany him at all.Lightly caressed her brows and eyes a few times, wanting to help her calm down. He also lightly patted her shoulders to coax her to enter an even deeper sleep.Early in the morning, when Betty was still sleeping, a phone call woke her up. She picked it up to see that it was again Lola, and her head was spinning. She really wasn't in the mood to go."Hello, Sister Lola, didn't I say I wanted you to help me put it off?""There's no need to push it now. You can rest for a few more days. The official announcement just now said that this episode would be delayed for another
"Then why did he go to the hospital that day? Did he faint in his office?""No, when we went to the hospital that day, it was your father who decided to go. He probably wanted to know how bad his condition was as well! That afternoon, he signed too many documents, sat for too long, and he was a little dizzy when he stood up. Only then did he get a little worried, and said that he was going to the hospital for an examination.""In other words, before my father went to the hospital, his condition was still considered stable!" Victoria asked carefully."No! There have been signs of a rebound in the company's performance recently. Mr. Marquez was even relieved and didn't get any work stimulation. I have always been by his side.""Then there's nothing wrong with his medicine, right?""The medicine is fine, every time I pour it for him, it's always those pills the doctor gave him.""It's those pills that Doctor Clare prescribed.""And then? Did you see my father faint that afternoon?""No!
Inside the master bedroom, Roderick was also not asleep. He sat in front of the French window, and looked up at the stars in the night sky. His handsome face had been shrouded in a layer of mysterious shadow.He agreed with Victoria that Desmond must have been doing his best to say something before he died. As he pointed his hand to Grace, it was sure that Grace was related to Desmond's death.If he wanted to resolve the knot in Victoria's heart, he must investigate this matter clearly as soon as possible and give Desmond justice.He called Carson. Although it was early in the morning, Carson quickly picked it up. "Hello, Mr. Arnold, did something happen?""Tomorrow morning, contact the law firm of the Marquez Group for me. Tell them that I want to cooperate with them." Roderick ordered.Carson did not waste much time, he directly answered, "Okay! I'll ask the person in charge to come and see you tomorrow morning."After hanging up the phone, the corner of Roderick's mouth curled up i
An hour later, Roderick went upstairs and gently knocked on Victoria's room. The sadness on Victoria's face was still very obvious, but it seemed that her emotions had stabilized. Betty looked at her with eyes filled with sadness and grievance."Come down!" Roderick said to them."Alright, we'll be right down." Betty replied.Victoria's eyes were red and swollen from crying, she only raised them slightly, not looking at Roderick as Roderick gently closed the door.Betty got up and went into the bathroom, bringing a warm towel out. She gently lifted Victoria's face, and used a towel to wipe the tears off her face. Victoria closed her eyes, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was pale, and she looked extremely haggard."Victoria, we can secretly investigate your father's death, but now, you have to think about your own body! Franklin needs you." Betty explained to her.Victoria and Betty had chatted for an hour, she had vented her sorrow. She hated Grace, and she felt unworthy for h
Along the way back to Roderick's villa, Victoria continued to be silent, and it was unknown what she was thinking. When they arrived, the first thing Roderick wanted to do was to contact his good friend Bryson, and then ask him to contact Betty, so that she could console and comfort Victoria.As a close friend, she definitely knew how to let Victoria vent the grief in her heart.Roderick stood outside the courtyard and called Bryson."Hey! Roderick, you've returned back?" Bryson asked directly.He would have known that Roderick was abroad, but it was not because Roderick disclosed it to him, but because he got it from his brother Lennon. Because his brother was concerned about his female student, Cassie."Yes! We returned home. Today Victoria's father passed away, and do you have Betty's number? Take her over to comfort Victoria. She's very sad right now." Roderick's voice was somewhat heavy and hoarse.Bryson's tone became more serious, "I have her number, I'll contact her right now
