Chapter 28

    Chapter 28


    At this time, Victoria had already changed into her pajamas and was


    about to fall asleep.


    She didn’t let her dark mood interfere with her daily routine.


    She would face a difficult battle if she chose to keep her child.


    As such, she had to keep her energy levels high to prepare for the battle.


    She would lie in bed to rest even if she couldn’t sleep.

    However, her cell phone rang at this time. She nced at the screen and


    saw that the call hade from ric.


    Victoria was perplexed when she saw the name on the screen.


    She had a heated argument with him earlier. When he rushed out, Victoria

    assumed he was going to find udia.


    That was why Victoria was surprised when ric called her.


    She was about to answer the call but remembered the previous call he


    had asked udia to make.


    Maybe he will inform me of the same thing again.


    Victoria didn’t want to pick it up because of that.

    However, she epted the call as the phone kept ringing. Then, she heard


    a male voice she didn’t recognize.


    After a while, she eventually got out of bed and resignedly changed out of


    her pajamas to go outside.


    The temperature had dropped after dark.


    Chapter 28 Be Good


    As a result, she shrank back subconsciously as soon as she walked out.


    Everyone was asleep by then, so Victoria didn’t bother calling the driver.


    Instead, she went to the garage with the keys.


    Norwood’s words rang in her head as she drove away.


    “ric doesn’t appear to be in good shape. Pleasee over here as


    soon as possible.”


    Why is ric not in good shape? Will his possessiveness turn him odd?


    Victoria did not imagine that ric would want to get drunk.


    More importantly, she resumed her erratic thinking.


    Could ric have been acting strangely because he is jealous? No, he


    loves udia, so how can he be jealous because of me? He must believe


    (that his masculinity has been attacked, which is why he’s acting strangely.

    As Victoria was thinking, a beam of light appeared ahead of her. She


    came to her senses and hurriedly swerved to one side before slowing


    down and stopping on the side of the road.

    She then leaned on the steering wheel while gasping in surprise.


    That was dangerous…


    She would have collided with that car if she didn’t react quickly enough.


    After adjusting her breathing, she resumed her journey.


    To ensure her safety, she stopped her thoughts from running wild and


    drove seriously for the rest of her journey. She soon arrived at the bar


    Norwood had mentioned.


    Although it was already dark, many couples hugged and kissed each


    other outside the bar.

    Victoria could only find a parking space and rush to the bar because the


    establishment did not allow vehicles to park at the entrance.


    However, as she was about to enter, she noticed a familiar figure running


    from the street.


    Victoria fixed her gaze on the figure. It was udia.


    udia had missed Victoria. She dashed into the bar while clutching her


    bag.


    It was apparent why udia was there.


    What am I doing here? To make a joke about myself?


    Even so, Victoria couldn’t move and stood motionless.


    After an unknown time, a few familiar figures emerged from the entrance.

    Victoria instinctively hid in the shadows the moment she saw them.


    “What’s the problem? Why did you suddenly start drinking so much? Why


    didn’t you stop ric from drinking, West?”


    udia and West helped ric out of the bar, followed by Norwood, who


    maintained a calm demeanor.


    West was upset as udia med him. He went on to say, “I tried to stop


    him, but you know he never listens to us. If you were present and stopped


    him, he mightply.”


    udia let out a sigh. “ric, you’re an adult already. Why do you continue


    to consume so much alcohol?”


    They coborated to get ric into the car.


    Victoria stood in the shadows and watched quietly.

    Suddenly, the inebriated ric sensed something. Grabbing udia’s thin


    wrist, he babbled, “D–Don’t g–go.”


    udia was taken aback but she returned to her senses to lightly pat him


    on the shoulder. “Alright, alright. I’m not going. Please be good.”


    Victoria couldn’t take another look at them at that point.


    She gritted her teeth, regrettinging to the barte at night.


    I should not have answered the phone. Instead of rushing here to


    humiliate myself, I should haveid in bed. I don’t know why I’m doing this.


    Do I have to let others break my heart to give up ric?


    In the end, Victoria walked away with an indifferent expression.


    She didn’t care about them any longer, so she didn’t notice ric shaking


    udia’s hand away after the woman told him to be good.

    It was a powerful push.


    udia stumbled after being thrown and nearly fell to the ground. West


    rushed to her aid because he was nearby.


    “Are you okay, udia?”


    udia was dazed because she had not recovered from the shock.


    Did ric just shove me away? she grumbled to herself. No, he shook me


    off. Is this an unintentional action on his part?


    udia regained her footing and returned her gaze to Aldric, whose eyes


    were tightly closed. A frown on his face indicated his difort.


    He also reeked of alcohol.


    Despite the fact that udia was embarrassed in front of West and


    Norwood and looked like a mess, she calmly brushed her hair aside and

    Chapter 28 Be Good


    forced a smile. “I believe he drank too much. He has no idea who anyone


    is.”


    But as soon as she said that, they heard ric growl, “Norwood, send me


    back!”


    For a brief moment, it was deafeningly silent.


    udia had previously assumed ric shook her away because he was


    too drunk to recognize anyone. As a result, she couldn’t hide her


    embarrassment after ric’s words.


    West had not anticipated this. He could onlyfort udia in a low


    voice when he saw how sad she was. “Don’t overthink it, udia. Al has


    had too much to drink and can’t recognize you, but he must recognize


    your name.”


    At that point, ric eximed, “Norwood Oaks!”

    Chapter 28 Be Good


    Norwood took a step forward and said to West, “I’ll take care of him. You


    should send udia back.”


    West turned to face Norwood and said, “ric is drunk. Can you handle


    him on your own?”


    Before Norwood could say anything, udia suggested, “You can send


    him to my ce.”


    When they heard that, the two men paused and looked at her.


    udia looked both of them in the eye and smiled lightly. “He’s too drunk


    to care for himself, so someone else must do it. I’ll take care of him, so you


    can send him to my house.”
