Chapter 144
For a moment, Victoria didn’t know how to reply to Sandy’s question, and
she just sat there, stunned.
Sandy sniffled lightly. Perhaps because she was ashamed that someone
had learned about her boyfriend, her eyes were reddened as well.
“Victoria, even though I didn’t know you before, and I don’t like to gossip, I
still hear rumors about you these days. You’re not the only woman in your
man’s life too. Can’t you deal with your own troubles?”
When Victoria heard that, she finally understood what Sandy was getting
1. at. “You feel that I’m already in a mess myself, so I have no right to tell you
this, correct?”
Sandy originally had more or less the same intention.
Sandy felt that Victoria couldn’t manage her own rtionships well either,
for ric had other women by his side. Victoria couldn’t do much about it,
and of course, she knew that one couldn’t do whatever they liked when
they were in a marriage involving prestigious families.

Since Victoria herself couldn’t do anything, why should she boss Sandy
around?

However, when Victoria put it that way, Sandy felt like she had gone
overboard.
After all, Victoria was just worried that Sandy didn’t know any better, so
she told Sandy about it out of kindness.
At that thought, Sandy could only shake her head. “I didn’t mean that,
Victoria, I’m sorry… I just feel-”
What did she feel? Even Sandy herself couldn’t exin it.
Seeing her at a loss for words, Victoria more or less understood what
Sandy meant. “It’s okay, there’s no need to say more. I’m not ming you.”
Sandy bit her lip. “I’m sorry, Victoria. Did I hurt you just now?”
As Victoria looked at the girl in front of her, she wondered if she should tell
Sandy about her uing divorce. Suddenly, her phone rang.
Victoria took a nce. It was a call from Bane. Why is he calling right now…

Chapter 144 Are You Reluctant to Give Up on Him?
“Is it an important call? Why don’t you answer it?”
Seeing Sandy’s pitiful look, Victoria knew that she had to answer the call
even if she didn’t want to. As such, she could only nod.
“Alright, then. I’ll answer the phone.”
With that, Victoria went out to answer the call, leaving Sandy alone to
ponder.
“Hello?”
Outside, Victoria had already picked up Bane’s call.

“Snowball.” Bane’s voice sounded gentle even over the phone. Akin to clear
running water, his voice was a pleasure to listen to, be it in person or over
the phone.
She had always known this fact, but even so, when she heard him calling
her ‘Snowball‘, she felt odd, and she couldn’t quite ept it.
After all, throughout her entire life, only two people called her that–her
father and ric.
Chapter 144 Are You Reluctant to Give Up on Him?
ric had always known her pet name, but he rarely called her that. He
would only call her ‘Snowball‘ at very specific moments.
“How are you these days?” Bane’s voice was lined with a slight smile. “You
didn’t get found out after going back, did you?”

He was asking about her pregnancy.
Hence, Victoria’s thoughts were quickly interrupted as she focused on this
matter. “No.”
“Good. If there’s anything you need help with, just tell me.”
“There’s nothing much to help with…”
After all, how could a man help with something like this?
“Hmm.” Bane didn’t expand on the topic as he quickly changed the focus.
“I’ve said before that I would help you, right? Why don’t we meet up and
talk?”
Meeting up at this time? Victoria thought for a bit, then shook her head. “I

can’t make it today.”
“It’s okay, you can decide the time. I’m okay with tomorrow or the day after
tomorrow.”
Victoria thought about it, then said, “Maybe in a few days.”
She was now stuck between a rock and a hard ce.
“Alright,” answered Bane in response.
After hanging up, Victoria went back to the restaurant.
The girl seemed to have thought things through. When she saw Victoria
“Victoria, about that thing you mentioned, I think I’ll have to give it more
thought.”
When Victoria heard that, she paused slightly, then asked after a while,
“Are you reluctant to give up on him?”
Sandy smiled bitterly. “In that case, are you reluctant to give up on Mr.
Cadogan, Victoria? I think you’re the one who can understand my feelings

the best. We’re in simr situations, after all.”
She was referring to the fact that they were both pregnant, yet both their
men were seeing other women.
When Victoria heard that, she smiled and said lightly, “Do you think we’re in
the same situation?”
“Are we not?”
“Yes, they look almost the same on the surface, but have you considered
the fact that we’re of different ages?”
When Sandy heard that, she was stunned. Then, she bit her lower lip in
frustration. “Victoria.”
Seeing Sandy like that, Victoria sighed lightly. “You have a future ahead of
you, so don’t hesitate about certain things. That’s all I have to say today.
It’s gettingte, so you should head back first. Your mom might get
worried.”
Sandy could only nod, then got up to leave.

When the girl was approaching the entrance of the restaurant, she
seemed to have thought of something as she turned to look at Victoria.
After a moment of silence, she dashed up to Victoria and asked in a small
voice, “Victoria, I have a few questions for you.”
Victoria said, “Go ahead.”
“Will you give birth to the child?”
Seeing the girl’s sincere expression, Victoria pursed her red lips slightly.
Sometimeter, she nodded gently.
“Yes.”
When the girl heard that, she seemed to be surprised that Victoria would
answer her. After taking a deep breath, she asked the question she
wanted to ask the most.
“Then… are you going to divorce Mr. Cadogan? Or…”
Even though it hadn’t happened, and she shouldn’t talk about it, when
Victoria looked at the girl in front of her, she decided to trust the girl for

once.
After all, she had gone to Sandy herself.
At that thought, Victoria nodded. “Yes.”
Her second reply was firmer than her first.
“I will give birth to the child, and I’ll raise the child on my own.” Victoria’s
voice was light as her gaze fell upon the girl’s face. Sandy seemed
shocked at her determination. “This is just my personal decision. We’re
different, so you don’t have to do it my way.”
Sandy originally thought that Victoria hadn’t left ric because she had
no ns for divorce. Through those questions, Sandy could see from
Victoria’s determination that Victoria must have nned this for a long
time. This wasn’t something she thought up a few days ago.
Victoria had already made the decision early on, but Sandy foolishly
thought that she couldn’t let go of the rtionship like herself.
At that thought, Sandy finally realized how pathetic she was. She lowered
her gaze and said in a small voice, “Thank you, Victoria. I know what to do

now.”
Victoria nodded. “You’re wee.”
This time, Sandy turned around and left quickly without any hesitation.
Victoria thought that perhaps her own decision had affected Sandy.
However, no matter what, she wished that Sandy wouldn’t be blinded by
love. Victoria also wished Sandy could let go and move on.
