There was a man in a suit sitting across from her on the couch. He looked fresh looking and gave off a delicate fragrance of body wash. She was no longer glum like the night before.
Victoria suddenly felt nervous. Although they knew each otherâs identity, they were not yet seeing each other face to face so clearly.
She didnât know where to look and didnât dare look at him. When she sat up from the couch, she discovered that the blanket that had covered him the night before was now draped over her.
Victoria lowered her head, âYou, youâre sober.â Jayden Nelson nodded weakly at her.
She stood up hurriedly but tripped over the table legs and fell back onto the couch as she got up too quickly. She was in a hurry, âIâll get cleaned up immediately.â
galηÏνeâs.cøm is your update source âDonât be afraid of me.â He stood up and could tell Victoria was nervous at the sight of him. This awkward relationship made him really uncomfortable. He also felt unaccustomed to her sudden appearance at home.
âItâs you he found. You stay here quietly. If you need anything just tell me and you can go out if youâre bored staying home, but I hope no one knows about our relationship.â
She looked down, âI know.â
After saying that she left and didnât stay for breakfast.
From that day on, he came home every night, but he didnât sleep with her in the same room. He only rested in the guest room downstairs.
Later, Victoria learned that he came home every day just to teach Jolene Harris.
Since she was free during the day, she decided to work outside so she wouldnât waste time and have a hard time.
She had a good background, but no work experience before. Still, it was easy to find an office job.
After passing the interview, he started working and has been working for more than two months so far.
Jayden would come back late and rest downstairs, so they hardly ever saw each other.
Her life was productive as she was busy working and studying when she came home from work. She would take notes on things she didnât understand at the company and look up information after dinner.
This day was the same as usual. After finishing her work and dinner, she showered and lay on her bed, looking for information.
As she was concentrating on it, she received a call from Victoria, who was the only person she had contacted and the only one who knew her whereabouts.
Her father had died and Victoria was her only family member.
âNathan White wants to see you.â
Nathan went overseas on business, as the company was expanding a project, so he needed to bring in some equipment that was not available in China.
However, it was not going well and caused some delay. I just knew that something big had happened to the Forbis Family after his return.
Most importantly, he could not find his girlfriend, Victoria, whom he loved so much.
He went to the Forbis Family several times, but Victoria turned him down.
Once again he went to the Forbis Family after he had organized the new development projects. At that time, he was especially determined to inquire about her whereabouts. If Victoria did not tell him, he would not leave and would follow him anywhere.
Even when he went to the bathroom, she had to follow him.
Victoria didnât know what to do with him, so she could only call her sister.
When Victoria heard her name, she was distracted for a long time and then cried uncontrollably.
She could not control herself. She felt wronged and heartbroken.
âIt sounded like he still had feelings for youâ¦â
âWhat feelings does he have for me?â she interrupted her brother. If he cared about her and loved her, he wouldnât be missing or lose track of her when she needed him.
âI donât want to see him. Donât associate with him because the Forbis Family has nothing to do with the White Family anymore.â
After saying this, Victoria hung up.
She buried her head under the blanket and cried loudly, âThey have broken our promiseâ¦â
âDid you see that? Sheâs not willing to see you.â Her brother looked at Nathan, who was getting thinner every day.
âWhy didnât you look for my mother when you were in trouble? Even though I wasnât in China, she was thereâ¦â
âSay no more!â his brother scoffed. When he heard about Mrs. White, he even felt disgust for Nathan. If Nathan hadnât mentioned her name, he wouldnât be so disgusted. âVictoria had sought her out, but she didnât agreeâ¦â
âImpossible!â Nathan interrupted him. Nathanâs mother was very fond of Victoria and was also in favor of this marriage at the time. How could she not be willing to help when Victoria asked for her help?
âIf you donât believe it, ask your mother again. She had personally held a press conference to announce that the marriage was off.â Victoria was angry and disgusted by his approach.
âShe knew the Forbis Family had fallen and was worthless, so she asked for our tissue technology, but Victoria refused. Your mother soon became hostile, not only did she not want to help, but she announced the severing of relations at the most difficult time, making the Forbis Family face an even worse situation. Donât you want our tissue technology since you were close to my sister?â
âNo! I want Victoria! I like her!â Nathan interrupted, âIâm going to ask her now! My mother must not haveâ¦â
âIf she didnât do anything, Iâll cut my head off so you can sit on it. You should have asked her before. Youâre out of Victoriaâs league now that youâre the master of the White Family. Victoria was nothing but a stray dog, just to save our family and meâ¦â Her voice was softening and she finally burst into tears.
As the saying goes, men do not shed tears easily unless they are deeply grieved.
The Forbis Family fell overnight. If not for Victoriaâs help, he would have been imprisoned, the Forbis Family would have disappeared and the weaving technology would have been taken away.
As a man, he was saved by his sister.
He felt guilty.
Nathan left the Forbis Family and drove his car back home.
At home, Mrs. White had just returned from a facial. Although she was elderly, she looked like a woman in her thirties, as she was well preserved. Seeing that she was in a hurry, she frowned, âHow old are you? Why do you keep being fussy?â
âWhen Victoria asked you for help because her family was in trouble, didnât you help her?â questioned Nathan to his mother.
Mrs. White was shocked for a while and then asked him with distaste, âDid you go to the Forbis Family again?â
âIâm asking you now!â Nathan had never spoken so loudly to his mother before. This time he was anxious.
He couldnât believe his mother was the kind of person Victoria said.
Mrs. White sat down on the sofa and looked at him, âYour father passed away before his time and until now it was difficult for me to support the White Family alone. All the difficultiesâ¦â
âIâm asking you if Victoria had come to you before!â Nathan interrupted her.
âYes!â he was getting angry, as a woman could make him so nervous.
âAre you a man, are you still my son, how dare you come to question me about a woman?â
Nathan seemed to be struck by lightning, standing there distracted. After a long while, it dawned on him, âWas it on purpose when you asked me to go abroad to introduce those kits?â She said nothing.
âWas it also a trick of yours that my phone fell into the water?â
âDid you arrange for people to cause trouble for me when I was overseas so you could delay my return?â
Nathan continued to question her.
