Chapter 852

Soon after, Vickie's phone chimed again.

She frowned and did not intend to care, but she could not stand the glare from the man next to her, so she picked up the phone.

When she looked at it, there was another text message from him.

"I was wrong."

Vickie was stunned.

Then, her frown deepened.

She turned to look at the man and saw that he was looking at her seriously. His eyes, which were usually cold and deep, were now devoid of all their sharpness. He just looked at her with a pitiful and watery gaze, like a cute puppy.

Vickie's heart stumbled.

It was an inexplicable feeling like her heart was tickled by feathers.

She did not know what this man meant. Was he giving her the puppy dog eyes?

Hmph, she would not fall for his trick.

As she thought of this, Vickie put her phone away and deliberately ignored it.

When Gregory saw that this tactic did not work on her, he pondered and suddenly took the box of toothpicks from the table and laid them out in front of him.

The rest of them were too busy poking fun at Massimo and Quincy to notice his oddness.

After all, everyone knew him and knew what kind of personality he had. It was already good enough that he even attended occasions like this.

Expecting him to join in with their chatter was highly unlikely.

Therefore, no one even noticed what he was doing.

Vickie did notice though.

However, she did not want to look at him properly, so she would only occasionally glimpse at him through the corner of her eye.

She saw that he was no longer texting with his phone, but was instead sitting there with his head down fiddling with toothpicks, and thought he was playing.

Vickie sneered inwardly. This man was becoming more childish as he aged, he was even playing with toothpicks? Did he really think he was a three-

year-old child?

However, she did not care about him. Since he wanted to play, she would just let him be. As long as he did not bother her, what did it matter?

Vickie ignored him and let him be as she thought of this.

After a while, she felt someone lightly poking her arm out of the blue.

She subconsciously knitted her eyebrows and looked over at the man with angry eyes as a warning not to mess with her again.

Unexpectedly, the man did not do anything more but just pointed at the table in front of him and gestured for her to look.

Vickie took a glance and stiffened.

On the table, there were a few letters that he had made out with the toothpicks. It spelled G LOVE V.

Others might not know what “G LOVE V” meant, but how could she not know?

"G" was Gregory, and "V" was Vickie?

This man...

Vickie was so exasperated that she seemed to deflate like a punctured balloon right then and there.

She was irritated yet amused.

Gregory even pleaded by beaming at her, which made her so angry that she wanted to reach out and punch him.

In the end, she did not do so as there was a crowd and the occasion was not right, so she reluctantly suppressed that impulse.

She just picked up her phone, hurriedly typed a message, and sent it to him.

"Stop with all that nonsense. Even if you go through all that trouble, I still won't agree to date you, so just give up!"

Vickie pressed the send button after she typed the message furiously.

Gregory's phone buzzed and he immediately looked at it.

Although Vickie had sent the text message, the corner of her eyes had been paying attention to his face.

She saw that the man's face was in high spirits when he held up the phone to read the text. After seeing the contents of the text message, the light in those eyes suddenly dimmed, and for some reason, her heart also felt a bit sympathetic.

Vickie quickly came back to her senses though.

What was she doing?

Was she feeling sorry for the man now?

Ha! That was ridiculous. Did he need sympathy?

If she actually fell for his trick and forgave him, then she would be the biggest fool alive!

Vickie figured this out, put her phone away, and ignored him again.

Perhaps it was because the man was rejected again, causing his pride to be more or less bruised, he surprisingly did not bother her again.

After lunch, everyone wanted to go for karaoke together.

Massimo Nolan was also excited, but because Quincy was here, he did not want to agree right away before getting her opinion.

To his delight, Quincy was very easy-going. She swept her hair back and even said, “Let’s go! Why shouldn’t we go? It’s your birthday, right? If we don’t celebrate now, don’t tell me we’ll have to wait another time?"

Massimo heard this and was instantly elated.

He even agreed and said, "Okay, then I'll go arrange it."

This suck-up attitude caused the crowd of brothers next to him to mockingly shake their heads.

"Tsk tsk...Little Massi’s finished. He’s originally the generous Young Master of a real estate mogul. Now, he is but a slave to a woman. It's just sobering to watch..."

"Sigh...Brother Massi’s nature of valuing women over us bros is genetic. Don’t you guys know this?"

When he said that, everyone shuddered as they recalled Massimo’s lovey-dovey parents.

Only because they were tired of that old couple’s sweetness.

As they were all from local wealthy families, almost all of the families here had some kind of relationship with each other. It was just a matter of how close they were.

Regardless of whether they were close or not, those who had met Massimo's parents before were all smothered by the old couple’s adoration for each other.

Even though they were already a couple for 30 years, their love for each other was so sweet that the ones who did not know they were an old couple would think that they had only just started dating.

As they considered this, everyone was able to endure Massimo's current fondness towards Quincy.

Soon, Massimo had arranged for the location to be on the top floor of this hotel.

Of course, the rest of the guests did not join. The only ones who went were his close friends at this table.

Vickie could not drink due to her injury, so if she went to the KTV bar without drinking, she would inevitably become a bit of a spoilsport.

Gregory was also unwilling to let her linger outside for a moment longer because he had just seen that Vickie's feet were already a bit swollen, so he was determined to take her back to see a doctor.

Therefore, he rejected Massimo's invitation to karaoke.

When Massimo saw this, he did not insist. After bidding goodbye to the two of them, he led a large group of people to the KTV bar for drinks and karaoke.

Only then did Gregory bring Vickie back to the chateau.

It was exactly 2:00 pm when they returned.

The sun was blazing hot outside. Even though Vickie was sitting in the car, she was still sweating profusely by the time she got off the car and went back to her room.

Naturally, Gregory went back to his room and so did she.

She thought to herself that since she had nothing to do, she might as well take an afternoon nap.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 However, she had always been a germaphobe. She definitely would not be able to sleep well when she was so sweaty, so she thought of taking a shower first.

Vickie then took off her clothes and walked into the bathroom.

The wounds on her body were almost completely healed by now, so it did not impede her to take a bath.

Vickie was so relaxed soaking in the bathtub. She was enjoying the comfort of being immersed in the warm water.
