    As Victoria kept talking non–stop, ric realized he couldn’t make up a


    He knew how amazing Victoria was with her words. When he first took her


    to negotiation, she was timid since she had never experienced such a


    situation at a young age. However, as she participated in more and more


    cases, she began to work her way around and was able to take charge of


    the situation quickly. She was fast to react and had critical thinking skills.


    Thus, she could make aeback for herpetitor.


    For example, she was using the same method against him now, and ric


    realized he had no words to say. After all, udia had indeede


    looking for him and even wore Victoria’s clothes.


    Seeing that he was quiet, Victoria smirked coldly. “Why are you being


    quiet, ric? Think about it. How would you feel if I brought another man


    home and let him wear your clothes?”

    ric remained silent. Just the thought of Victoria bringing another man


    home would drive him insane, yet…


    Knowing she had won the argument, Victoria pushed him aside, took her


    relief.


    ric must be stunned by my words. I’m sure he won’t be asking any


    further questions. Anything is fine as long as my secret is safe with me.


    As she thought about it, she kept herptop and went downstairs to the


    kitchen to find something to eat. At this moment, the chef was preparing


    the ingredients for lunch. When he saw her, he immediately greeted her.


    Victoria looked around and nodded. “Did you make any snacks this


    morning, Mr. Campbell?”


    “Yes.” Andrew, aka the chef, immediately turned around and opened the


    cab behind him. Then, he took out a small te of snacks for Victoria.

    Victoria’s eyes lit up when she saw the te was filled with cream puffs.


    Noticing her gaze, Andrew knew that he had made the right snacks. Thus,


    he smiled and said, “Take it, Mrs. Cadogan. I will make some more in the


    afternoon if you like it. However, taking in too many sweets a day is


    unhealthy, so I’ll be making other snacks.”


    Victoria didn’t refuse since she was starving. Now, she would lose her


    appetite whenever she saw oily or raw foods. However, she had a craving


    for sweets.


    I have never craved sweets as much as I would now… Gentleness filled


    Victoria’s eyes as she thought about it.


    My baby must be a sucker for sweet foods. Oh dear, I must keep a lookout


    for my baby when I give birth to it. I need to watch their sweet intake.


    As she thought about it, she left the kitchen with the te of snacks in a


    good mood.

    When the others saw her leave, they surrounded Andrew. “Did Mrs.


    Cadogan just take a te of snacks, Mr. Campbell?”


    Andrew nodded his head with a smile. “It looks like she likes today’s


    desserts. Prepare some flour and fruit. We’ll be making some fruit snacks


    for her.”


    “Okay. Though, do you know why Mrs. Cadogan has such a huge change


    in her food preference, Mr. Campbell? I remember that she doesn’t crave


    sweet stuff.”


    “What a silly question. People’s food preferences will change over the


    years. This is a normal thing.”


    “I’m not saying Mrs. Cadogan is abnormal, Mr. Campbell. I’m just saying


    that she has a different craving because…” The staff smiled mysteriously.


    “Is what?” Andrew looked at him with confusion.

    “Could it be that she is pregnant?”


    When Andrew heard his words, he was at a loss for words.

    “Umm… I’m just guessing. After all, the fish fumet you stewed was delicious.


    I didn’t smell any odd scent when I served them. Yet, Mrs. Cadogan hád


    such a big reaction after taking a whiff. My sister–inw has the same


    reaction as Mrs. Cadogan. She can’t stand the smell of raw food and is


    more sensitive than us. Not only that, she has a change of food


    preference too.”


    The more Andrew listened, the more shocked he was. After all, he felt that


    the staff seemed to have a point.


    If Mrs. Cadogan is really pregnant, I have to change her food! Andrew


    thought.

    After Victoria had eaten the desserts, she patted her stomach in


    satisfaction.

    How did I never know that this food tasted delicious? It looks like my baby


    is a foodie.


    “You are such a food lover,” Victoria whispered as she gently poked her


    stomach.

    Since the baby was still small, her belly was t. Thus, it was apparent that


    it wouldn’t respond to her words. However, Victoria was still pleased to talk


    to it.


    After some time, she was exhausted. Then, she brushed her teeth and


    went to bed. Initially, she wanted to take a small nap. However, when she


    woke up and looked at the time, it was already 2.00PM.


    At that moment, Victoria jolted awake. What? I overslept! The room was


    silent, so she quickly changed into a new set of clothes and went

    downstairs. However, no one was downstairs too. When the servant saw


    her, they greeted her.

    “You’re awake, Mrs. Cadogan.”


    “Yes. Is Old Mrs. Cadogan awake yet?” Victoria looked at the servant.


    “She has already woken up and had lunch.”


    Just as Victoria was about to ask Griselda’s whereabouts, the servant took


    the initiative and said, “Mr. Cadogan has taken her out.”


    “Where did they go?”


    “Ah… I’m not sure about this.”


    To be honest, Victoria was worried since ric was a careless man. She


    was afraid that he didn’t know how to take care of Griselda. Before she


    could take out her phone and call ric, the servant said, “You just woke

    up, Mrs. Cadogan. Why don’t you have some food first?”


    When Victoria heard the word food, she felt hungry.


    “I guess I’ll eat first.”


    “I’ll tell the chef to reheat the food.”


    When Victoria sat at the dining table, she took out her phone and sent a


    message to ric while waiting for the food to arrive.


    ‘Where are you?‘


    Just as she was about to send it, she suddenly recalled the argument


    they had earlier on. Will ric think I’m trying to mess with him when he

    message.


    Where did you bring Grandma to?’

    After editing the text, she was happy with her message and sent it to


    ric. Before ric replied, Andrew had ced her food on the table.

    When everything was on the table, she noticed they were all light servings.


    At that moment, she was startled. Although she had a huge reaction this


    morning, she didn’t tell the chefs anything. After all, she had to keep her


    pregnancy a secret. Plus, she wouldn’t stay here for long anyway. Thus,


    she decided to leave it as it was. Though, never would she expect that the


    chefs would be so considerate.


    When Andrew approached her, she whispered tentatively, “The food


    seems different, Mr. Campbell.”


    Andrew was an honest man. When he heard her words, he smiled and


    said, “I specifically made it just for you, Mrs. Cadogan.”


    Victoria’s heart dropped when she heard his words.


    “What are you talking about?”
