Only Griselda could go inside for her check–up, so the others had to wait outside.
ric leaned against the window, instinctively feeling inside his pocket before
recalling faintly that he hadn’t touched cigarettes in a very long time. It seemed that
he hadn’t changed the habit of wanting to smoke whenever he felt anxious.
He didn’t really smoke much before, but it was about a year ago that hepletely
quit smoking. It was after he and Victoria had identally slept together and he
couldn’t forget her body and scent. It was as if he was addicted to it. He started to
kiss her from time to time, which happened anywhere and anytime since he refused
to lose any opportunities for that.
ric had once joined an hours–long meeting where the contents put him in a
horrible mood, so he started to smoke after returning to the conference room. After
just a few puffs, Victoria came in with some documents and became concerned at
the sight of him smoking. “Why are you smoking now? Are you in a bad mood?”
He did not answer and only stared darkly at her. Their rtionship had still been
close back then, so she wasn’t afraid of his frigid expression and quickly went

forward to grab the cigarette. However, she did not seed and ended up being
dragged onto hisp.
After settling on hisp, she decided to y along and put her hands on his
shoulders. “Don’t be angry. Even if you are unhappy, it has already passed.”

Victoria’s mouth opened and closed in front of him while she chattered on,
glimmering so seductively that ric’s gaze became darker as she continued. He
lifted a hand and held her chin before kissing her, and she froze for an instant before
kissing back.
They kissed passionately in the office and when it ended, she leaned against him as
she panted. “Doesn’t feel good,” she mumbled.
“What doesn’t?” ric’s voice was terribly hoarse. His first reaction was that he
hadn’t kissed her well enough and she wasn’t satisfied with this.
Her eyes were shiny while her mouth was still swollen. “The cigarette.”
He then realized she was referring to his cigarette, and he immediately stuck it on
the ashtray and extinguished it.

She pouted. “Not like that.”
The tips of his fingers moved against her cheek and the pads of his fingers lingered
on her ruined lipstick as he murmured, “Not like that? Then, how?”
“I meant that you shouldn’t smoke anymore,” Victoria answered, pulling on his
necktie in annoyance. “You knew that already but asked me that on purpose.”
“Oh?” ricughed quietly and leaned toward her. “So, you meant that it feels good
and you enjoy it when I don’t smoke?”
Victoria was speechless upon hearing that. “When did I say I enjoyed it? Don’t tter
yourself, all right?”
“You don’t enjoy it, hmm? Then, who was the one that kept asking me to kiss her
after having too much to drink?”
“ric!”
Her pouty voice and the good times they had together seemed to have happened
yesterday, and only the cold wall stood before him when he came back to the
present. They had been giving each other the silent treatment for a long time.

ric looked toward Victoria where she was sitting beside his mother as they
discussed something with their heads close together
His phone vibrated inside his pocket at that moment, the ringtone making everyone
look toward him. He recovered and took it out. After looking at the call notification,
he pursed his lips and looked instinctively at Victoria, who was coincidentally
looking at him. Their gazes met for a second before she discreetly shifted hers
away.

After ric’s phone rang for several seconds, he hung up and muted it, causing
silence to fall once again, Mary understood everything from her son’s reaction, since
he would have picked it up had it been important. However, he had nced
instinctively at Victoria after looking at the screen and didn’t take the call either,
which meant the caller was most probably udia.
Marymented ric’s ipetence before looking at Victoria, whose eyes were
lowered. Victoria didn’t seem affected by it, though no one knew what she was
thinking.
After the call was cut off, udia froze in disbelief. This was the first time ric had
Chapter 112 Hadn’t Kissed Her Well Enough
hung up on her.
Why? Is it because my face is about to be ruined so his feelings have changed? I’m
his savior, no? Even if my beauty is truly ruined, he should not treat me like that
since he would always take my calls immediately.
ine was beside udia and immediatelyined after seeing her unhappy
look. “That vixen Victoria must have seduced him! Why else would ric not pick
up?”
udia bit her lower lip. “Stop talking.”
“Why not, udia? Hasn’t she made a promise to you? See how it turned out. She is
someone untrustworthy. You helped her out before, yet she stole your man. Why do
you think she will fulfill her promise?”
udia bit her lip, holding her phone tightly without speaking.
“udia, stop being so kind. The most terrifying thing is that she’s pregnant and has
said that she will get a divorce after Old Mrs. Cadogan’s operation is finished. Have
you ever thought about why Old Mrs. Cadogan’s operation has suddenly been
dyed? Why was she so healthy before but suddenly became so weak? Doesn’t

Victoria have a hand in all this? She’s been Mrs. Cadogan for so long, so why would
she give up on that role so easily? It’s impossible. Stop being so trustful, udia.”
ine’s words were difficult to take in, yet udia felt they were all true. If Victorial
really wanted to fulfill her promise, why did she not sign the contract with udia?
Victoria’s unwillingness to sign the contract was proof of her not wanting to hold up
her side of the deal. Many people would go back on anything they had agreed to
verbally, so what could udia do besides scold Victoria if Victoria really did renege
on their agreement?
As udia was immersed in her thoughts, the door opened as one of her close
friends came in. “Bad news, udia. I bumped into Christopher on the way up, and
he has bought flowers to visit you. I don’t know where he got the information, but I
didn’t let him up.”
udia was in a bad mood and felt speechless after hearing his name.
ine rolled her eyes. “Is Christopher crazy? Hasn’t udia already turned him.
down? What does he want?”
udia was about to tell them to find an excuse to make him leave, but another

person chimed in, “Exactly. What can a rascal like him do besides cause trouble? I
don’t know where he found the courage to pursue udia. Does he think she will
ever consider him?”
She felt like she had heard the most important thing then. Cause trouble, huh?
Her dejected gaze brightened once again. She had hated Christopher immensely
before since she felt he damaged her reputation, but she hadn’t felt so grateful for
his arrival ever before.
