To be frank, her mentality had undergone changes.
When Victoria first found out that she was pregnant, she was still quite
confused about what to do with the child, but as time passed, she
gradually felt connected to the child in her belly as if they shared the
same body and heart. Thus, her love for the child grew.
Many times, she would even tell the baby secrets that she couldn’t tell
others.
This further brought Victoria closer to her child.
At first, things were going as expected.
Victoria thought she could apany Griselda peacefully until the day of
her operation, but as soon as her annual leave was used up and she was
about to return to thepany for work, udia called her once again

decision. I’m not going to change my mind no matter what, so we don’t
need to meet again.”
Perhaps she had spoken too bluntly as udia went silent for a second
before asking, “Are you sure nothing can change your mind?”
“Yes.”
“Victoria.” udia’s voice suddenly softened. “I remember that you owe
me a favor, don’t you?”

the door of the cafe as she was about to enter.

“Victoria, push the door ande in. My friend owns this cafe. They aren’t
open for business yet.”
Victoria hung up the phone nkly before pushing open the door.
As soon as she entered, she noticed udia waiting for her in the corner.

“Hello, beautiful. You must be udia’s friend. Would you like to have a
drink?”
The man looked at Victoria with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Without much thought, Victoria replied, “No, thanks.”
The man was taken aback by her refusal, but udia chimed in, “Carlo,
give her a cup of warm milk.”
Carlo Jabba nodded neatly. “Sure. I’ll get it and leave you guys to do the
talking.”
Before leaving, Carlo couldn’t help taking another nce at Victoria.

udia judged her outfit as she uttered softly, “Carlo is a friend I met
abroad. He’s an open–minded and honest guy. After returning to the
country, he opened this cafe. Even though he isn’t very ambitious, he
earns enough to get by. He’s into serious rtionships and treats his
girlfriend gently.”
She then paused for a while before saying tentatively, “If you have
nowhere to go after divorcing Al, you can consider him.”
Victoria was speechless as she heard that.
She suddenly raised her head and blurted, “Miss Johnson, even though I
owe you a favor, did I give you the right to decide for my marriage?”

Don’t get me wrong, Victoria. I’m not trying to decide your marriage. I just
think my friend here is a great person.”
“Is that so? Then why don’t you consider him?” Victoria snapped.

sincerely. After all, they had ric stuck between them, but it was also true

Her tone was no longer gentle, and her voice waspletely different
now. It was crisp and clear now as she looked at Victoria with disdain.
Despite that, her current look made Victoria feel much at ease.
Following a chuckle, Victoria blurted, “Are you finally letting go of your act?
Honestly, your true face is more pleasing to the eye. At least, I don’t find
you insincere.”
“Insincere?” udia sneered. “I just think you’re not worthy of my kindness.
I initially thought that you would be a nicedy despite not being smart,
but I can’t believe you’re such an ungrateful person.”
“Ungrateful?” Victoria rubbed her fingertips and narrowed her eyes in a
judgmental expression. “I may be an ungrateful person in your eyes, but I
never expect that your kindness and righteousness would lead you to kill.”
When udia heard Victoria’sst two words, her expression changed
entirely.

It took her a while to speak. “The child is like a time bomb. If you were in my
shoes, there is no way you can ept it.”

when you’re going to get a divorce? You could’ve remarried and carried
another child. So, why insist on keeping this one? Do you think I have no
idea about what you’re thinking?“
