udia left Victoria’s office with a grim expression. Her hands were
trembling as she gripped her dress.

She never thought that even Peter, a lowly assistant, would dare humiliate
her. Although she didn’t sh out at him, she knew she couldn’t look past
this matter either. Thus, as soon as she entered the office, she couldn’t
help but spill everything that had happened to ric. She wasn’t
didn’t budge after udia was done talking.
“Al?” udia looked at him in confusion. That was when she realized his
pupils were dted, and he seemed to be in a daze even though he was
staring at hisptop.
She called his name with a sigh. Only then did ric snap out of his trance
and look at her while frowning. “You’re back.”

Hearing his words, udia became speechless and thought, I’ve returned
for some time and have been talking to him all this while. Was he oblivious
to all this?

As she thought about it, her face turned slightly pale while she forced a
smile. “Yeah. I’ve been back for quite some time. I was talking to you, but
you weren’t listening. Is something the matter?” she asked cautiously.
At this point, ric had already regained his senses. When he heard her
words, he shook his head and said faintly, “It’s nothing.” Then, he frowned
deeply when he saw that the food container in her hands was gone. “Did
she ept your food?”
Didn’t she send it back yesterday? he thought.
Hearing his question, udia shook her head. “No, she still doesn’t want to
eat the food I made. Say, Al, does my food taste bad?”
Honestly, ric wasn’t picky about what he ate. To him, food was just

something for him to gain energy. Hence, he couldn’t tell if her cooking
was terrible or not. However, since she had saved his life before, he
wouldn’t simply just give her an answer. Instead, he said softly, “No. Don’t
overthink it. However, if she didn’t ept the food, where did it go?”
3/9
Initially, ric only wanted to know what happened to the food container.
However, for some reason, he felt at ease when he knew that Victoria
refused to eat what udia had cooked. He didn’t know why, though.
udia told him what had happened again.
“I see,” he hummed in response. Turns out that Peter ate the food. No
wonder she returned without it.
After that, ric kept quiet.
udia waited for some time before realizing that ric made no move
to do anything. Then, she called him again. “Al…”

“What’s wrong?” ric looked at her.
When udia saw his usual expression, she couldn’t say the words she
wanted to. Thus, she held back and replied, “It’s nothing.”

Hearing her words, ric went back to thinking. Then, he seemed to be
irritated by something as he raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his
nose.
At this moment, udia saw a bite mark on his arm. Immediately, her
expression changed as she asked, “Did you hurt your arm, Al?”
Hearing her words, ric paused and followed her gaze along his arm.
When he saw that he had identally shown the marks on his arm, he
couldn’t help but remember how Victoria had bitten him yesterday. At that
moment, his head throbbed in pain.
Then, he tugged on his sleeve and replied faintly, “It’s nothing.”
Chapter 52 You Are Trying to Drift Us Apart
Lies! udia thought. Although she had only seen half of the wound on his
arm, she was sure it was a teeth mark. Why did he have a bite mark on his
arm? A guy couldn’t have done this, right? That only means…

At that moment, her face turned pale as she realized that Victoria had not
kept her promise!
The next day, udia went to confront Victoria under the guise of bringing
food to her.
“Is this how you repay me, Victoria?”
On the other hand, Victoria, who was waiting for her to put up an act,
frowned when she heard udia’s usation. “What are you talking
about?”
“Stop faking it!” udia snapped as she gripped the food container tightly.
Although she was furious, she still kept her voice low. “Do you still
remember the third rule in our agreement? You can’t have any close

contact with ric before the divorce. Do you still remember it?”
Hearing her words, Victoria pursed her lips and said, “Yes. What’s the
matter about it?”
“Did you really, though? Are you sure you have kept your promise?”
“Yes.” Victoria nodded. “Other than needing to interact with him in front of
Old Mrs. Cadogan, I have nevere close to him.”

She felt that she did a great job keeping the promise.
“You’re lying! You broke our promise!” udia barked.
Seeing that she was getting hysterical, Victoria furrowed her brows.
“I saw teeth marks on Al’s arm,” udia remarked.
As she brought this up, she could feel the hatred in her boiling.

After all, there could only be a particr instance for a woman to bite a

man.
Thinking about it made udia enraged.
On the other hand, Victoria was startled when she heard udia’s words.
If udia hadn’t brought this up, she’d have forgotten that such a thing
even happened.
“Why aren’t you talking? Is it because you are guilty? You never wanted to
keep the promise, did you, Victoria?” asked udia through gritted teeth.
“You’re wrong.” Victoria raised her head abruptly and denied the
usation. Since she wanted to repay udia, she would have kept their
promise. However, it was indeed her fault for leaving the bite mark.
“Have I been mistaken? If that is so, then why did you…”
Before she could finish her words, Victoria cut her off and sighed. “I think I

have to make things clear with you, udia. Since I vowed to keep the
promise, I won’t break it. However, I also hope you’ll understand that some
interactions between him and me are passive.”
“Passive?” Hearing her words, udia slowly calmed down.
“Before Old Mrs. Cadogan is done with her surgery, we can’t expose
ourselves in front of her,” said Victoria as she nodded.
“I understand this. However, you can’t possibly bite Al’s arm in front of her,
can you?”
“Well, you do have a point.”
“Are you finally admitting that you broke our promise?”
“No. If you insist on finding out, I can only tell you I did it out of resistance. I
didn’t break the promise.”

As for why Victoria had to resist, udia would have to guess it on her
own. Since she had promised udia that she would keep their promise
in the coffee shop, they were even.
9/9
As expected, udia froze on the spot when she heard her words.
Resistance… Did she bite ric out of resistance? From what, though?
As she thought about it, she widened her eyes as her mind went hazy.
“Are you telling the truth, Victoria? Are you trying to drift Al and me apart
because you never wanted to divorce him in the first ce?”
“Do I have to do that?” asked Victoria expressionlessly. “Do you think it’d be
easy to drift you guys apart when you’ve saved his life?”
