Not expecting such an answer, the clerk looked at Victoria and then at
ric while asking carefully, “What about you, sir?”
When she was asking, she saw a glimmer of hope in the man’s eyes.
However, he did not even look up and replied coldly, “Just do as she says.”
That was it. It seemed like she could not change their minds anymore. As
such, the clerk said nothing and quietly helped them finish their divorce.
Thud! Thud!
Once the divorce document was stamped, the clerk pushed them toward
the two. Victoria and ric stood there, dazedly looking at the papers for a
long while before retrieving their copies. Then, they left the Civil Affairs
Bureau.
After exiting the building, she felt the cold winter breezeing at her,
blowing her hair and scraping her cheeks like paper cuts. While clutching
the divorce papers, she reached out to ric and spoke calmly, “Thank you
for taking care of me all these years.”
However, he did not hold her hand or even look at her. Instead, he left after
1/7
Chapter 154 Controlling Her Emotions
saying, “You’re finally free.”
There stood Victoria alone as the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau
seemed to be noisier.
Her soft hair was a messy creation of the winter breeze; it even felt wet and
cold as it pped against her face. Unknowingly, tears raced down her
cheeks uncontrobly like an open faucet.
She had spent recent days mentally preparing herself and thought she
would not care, but when it came to this moment, she felt like her heart had
been ripped out of her chest. It was suffocating.

People wereing and going from the Civil Affairs Bureau. Some happily
got married, while some dejectedly got divorced. It wasmon for people
like Victoria, who were bawling their eyes out, to appear there. There were
quite a lot of couples who ended up as enemies, but even if they had gotten
divorced, they would still cry over the happy moments they had spent
together in the past. Therefore, it was not peculiar for people like her to sob
in front of the building.
The tiny differencey in her beauty. She wore a white coat with her hair
draping over her shoulders and had snowy–white skin. When she cried, her

eyes and cheeks turned red, which made her look delicate and fragile. That
rendered all the passersby to nce at her.
When Summer called her, Victoria was crying hysterically into the phone.

“Yes… W–We got divorced. We just did.”
Summer was in the middle of work, but when she heard Victoria sobbing,
she immediately stopped her action and went to ask her boss for a leave.
“Boo, stop crying, okay? Where are you now? I’lle to get you.”
Victoria remained right where ric had left her. “I’m at the entrance of
the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
“Okay. It’s cold today. Why don’t you find somewhere warm nearby? I’m
boss.
On the other hand, Victoria stayed where she was and did not listen to
Summer’s advice about finding somece warm. At that moment, her legs
felt like they were made of lead. It was not because she did not want to
leave but because she could not move her legs.
She stood in ce, thinking she could only walk after Summer arrived.

After some time, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. She nced up
upon hearing the scuffles. In her blurry gaze, she could only make out that
the person before her was thin and tall, but it was a pity that she could not
see who it was. However, she looked back down after discovering that it was
not Summer.

Secondster, an oversized warm coat draped over her, followed by a sigh.
“You must love him so much to be crying so hard.”
It’s… Bane’s voice.
Victoria raised her head and looked at him with blurry eyes, sobbing. “I
thought you were a stranger.”
Hearing that, he chuckled softly. “A stranger wouldn’t be so nice to give you
a coat.” Then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
As her vision became clear, she could finally make out Bane’s visage. His
eyes were filled with worry, and there was a bruise on his chin and the
corner of his lips from when ric punched him.
Not long after that, her vision became blurry again. The tears that had been
wiped away surged in guilt. It was fine when she was alone, but now that

Bane was here, she felt rather embarrassed. While crying, she apologized
to him. “I’m sorry. I think… I can’t control myself at the moment.”
A strange glint shed across Bane’s eyes as he continued to wipe away her
tears. However, her tears kept returning, and the handkerchief he took out
was soon drenched with her tears. Since the weather was cold today, the
handkerchief felt both wet and chilly. He could not help but suggest, “It’s
cold out here. Why don’t we head to my car?”
Victoria was still silently crying and did not give him a reply.
Seeing her state, he wanted to carry her to the car but was afraid that might
startle her. So, he put his arms over the coat and wrapped it around her

shoulder, urging, “Come on.”
With him leading her, she finally moved. However, her feet felt extremely
painful after just one step. Perhaps she had been standing too long, and her
feet had gone numb. She almost fell, but Bane managed to catch her just in
time.
“What’s the matter?” he asked out of concern. Seeing her tears–encircled
eyes, he added, “Forget it. Don’t say anything. I’ll bring you to the car, but
your legs are numb, so pardon me for what I’m about to do.”

Once he said that, he picked her up in his arms. A few momentster, they
finally made it to the car. Victoria’s legs felt much better after she found a
morefortable position.
“I think you’ve been standing in the cold wind for too long, which is why
your legs are numb.”
I guess. She did not reply to Bane. The car’s air conditioning was
functioning well, so the warm temperature soothed her chilly body but not
her rollercoaster emotions.
When he saw her condition, he gently persuaded her, “Stop crying. Even if
you’re sad, you should control your emotions. Don’t forget. You’re
pregnant.”

Victoria, who had been sobbing, heard that and immediately stopped
crying. That’s right. I’m pregnant. I need to act like a mom. My baby’s gonna
feel ufortable if I keep this up.
When she thought of that, she quickly wiped away her tears and leaned
against her seat to calm her emotions. Her tears remained surging, so she
could only close her eyes and rest. In the end, her tranquilized state
brought her to dreand.

While listening to her even breathing, Bane stared at her snowy–white
cheeks and tried to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes,
whispering, “If only you were willing to look at me.”
