Returning to the office, Victoria ced the cake on the table. Her mood
was great before she went downstairs, and she even had the appetite to
eat, but now, she had lost them all.
Currently, the scene of bumping into Christopher Drevel downstairs
upied her mind.
Summer’s words served as a reminder to her.
As it was possible that running into Christopher was just a coincidence,
she didn’t want to assume anything bad about anyone. After all, the
bakery downstairs was well known for its cakes, so it was only natural that
it attracted many customers, but could there really be such a
coincidence?
Victoria had to bump into a ssmate who she hadn’t met in years and
that person happened to be udia’s admirer at the same time udia
was injured.
At that thought, she opened the cake box, allowing the sweet scent of the
cake to waft into her nostrils.

Just as she cut a small slice of the cake and shoved it into her mouth, she
made a decision.
Whether or not it was a coincidence, she had to be extra cautious.
If Christopher was here to avenge udia, then Victoria would try to avoid
any potential threat that he could bring to her. If not, she would simply
consider herself a narrow–minded person.
Even though udia had promised her that she wouldn’t stop her from
keeping the child in her belly, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t
change her mind.
What if something happenedter on?
Victoria dared not imagine the possibilities. All in all, she just had to be
extra careful for her unborn child’s sake.
Before getting off work, she went to ric’s office and bumped into Peter,
who wasing out of his office.
As soon as he saw her, Peter walked up to her as if weing a close
friend. “Miss Selwyn, are you here for Mr. Cadogan?”

She halted in her steps and met his eyes. “What’s wrong? Is he busy?”

“No, of course not.” Peter shook his head fervently. “He’s getting off work
soon. I thought you wouldn’te and see him, Miss Selwyn.“.
Before udia showed up, ric would always wait for Victoria toe
to his office before they left thepany together.

However, ever since udia showed up in thepany, Victoria no
longer came to his office except during working hours, so Peter thought
she would nevere again.
At the mention of that, Victoria presented an awkward look without
uttering a word.
It had been a long time since she took ric’s car home. If she hadn’t.
considered her safety, she probably wouldn’t havee to see him.
“Go on in and look for Mr. Cadogan.”
“Okay.” Victoria nodded at him, and when she passed by him, she heard
him say, “Good luck, Miss Selwyn. Please take care.”
Chapter 118 Are You Not Upset Anymore?
Victoria was stunned by his statement, but Peter had gone off with the
documents in his hands.
Standing on the spot with furrowed brows, she couldn’t fathom his words.
She could assume that Peter wished her luck because ric might favor
her over udia, but why did he tell her to take care of herself?
His statement sounded out of the blue as if he knew something.
She believed that she was very good at concealing her pregnancy,
though. Except for the time Summer yelled at her in the office, nobody
should know about it because even Yasmin acted normally.
Whatever. He probably doesn’t know about it. Victoria shook off her
thoughts and continued heading to ric’s office.

The door to the office was closed, and just as she was about to knock on it,
the door was opened, and out came ric with a nk face.
Obviously, he did not expect her to look for him, so a slight hint of emotion
appeared on his icy face.
Chapter 118 Are You Not Upset Anymore?
“Are you here for me?”
Victoria withdrew her hand upon hearing that. Nodding her head, she
replied, “Yeah. I don’t feel so good, so I don’t think I want to drive. Can I-
At the sudden thought of something, she paused and continued, “Will you
give me a ride home for these few days?”
“What symptoms do you have?”
She never expected him to ask about her condition as he scanned her
from top to toe with a sharp gaze.
Victoria froze for a moment. “Erm, that’s not the point.”
The next moment, ric leaned down to hold her shoulders. “Then, what is
it? Are you sick?”
He had noticed how abnormal she had been behaving as if she was
hiding something from him.
Even until today, he was skeptical of that report.

Initially, he thought that she was diagnosed with a disease, so she tore the
report into pieces. However, her exnation to him afterward was

She imed that the report was ced in her pocket when she was out
under the heavy rain, so it waspletely normal for it to be wet.
After that, she diverted his attention to other issues, and so the situation
was forgotten.
“There’s nothing wrong with me.” While saying that, Victoria furrowed her
brows. “ric, I told you I’m fine! Why don’t you believe me? Do you wish This is from N?velDrama.Org.
that I’m sick?”
At that, he frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“If that’s not it, then don’t assume that I’m sick. The reason I said I don’t feel
good is because I’m toozy to drive. Is that okay? Must you get to the
bottom of it?”
Her tone gradually sounded impatient, and she even shook his hand
away.

Nevertheless, ric was not upset at all. Instead, he stared at her with
obsidian eyes.
“Are you not upset with me anymore?”
“What?” Victoria blurted.
ric pursed his lips and uttered without much emotion. “Nothing.”

However, a smile was evident in his eyes. Beingzy was an excuse, wasn’t
it? You just want to reconcile with me, so you came up with that reason.
He took another nce at her and realized that she looked exactly the
same as when she was younger.
She had a hot temper, and every time they fought when they were young,
she would stomp away and leave him alone. No matter how hard he tried
to coax her, she would just ignore him, but when he became impatient,
she would approach him like a little cub and make up all sorts ofme
excuses in order to reconcile with him.
That was what she was doing currently…

Even though she wasn’t sick, she came up with the excuse of beingzy in
order to ride home with him.

“Let’s go.”
ric grabbed his car keys and took the lead, the gloomy mood clouding
his mind and heart instantly cleared up.

Victoria, on the other hand, was entirely unaware of his wild imagination.
Seeing him leave, she hurriedly tagged along.
As soon as they arrived at the parking lot, however, udia’s call came.
When his phone rang, ric took it out, checked the screen, and froze. The
subtle change in his expression made Victoria sense something. Without
even looking at him, she spoke. “I’ll wait for you over there.”
After saying that, she left sensibly.
ric pursed his lips and subconsciously clutched his phone in his hand.
On the other hand, boredom overcame Victoria as she waited.

and sad when he answered udia’s calls.
Now, however, it no longer affected her as much.
It didn’t matter anymore.
