    Chapter 179


    After dinner, Bane rolled up his sleeves and said, “I’ll wash them.”


    “There’s no need. You just need to rinse them and put them in the dishwasher.”


    Unfortunately, Bane was too quick in his actions and Victoria didn’t even have time.


    to react before he took the dishes away.


    Summer, who was standing by, couldn’t help but make fun of them again. “Alright,


    Victoria. Let him do what he wants to do. If you don’t agree, how can he show off?”


    “Yeah,” he added. “Just let me show off.”


    Since he had insisted, Victoria gave in and handed the remaining tasks to him.


    When it was time to rest in the evening, Summer had her own room to sleep in, but


    she insisted on bringing her pillow and squeezing in with Victoria.


    It was drizzling outside, and the temperature in the room had dropped significantly.


    However, the warmth in the nket increased when the two of them squeezed


    together.

    Chapter 179 Rewarding Too Much?


    “I remember when we were in school, I used to sneak into your house and sleep


    together, but your bed was so big back then. I kept wondering if all rich families had


    such big beds.”


    Talking about the past, Victoria couldn’t help but smile.


    “Probably because my dad was afraid I would fall off the bed, so I always slept in


    custom-sized ones ever since I was little.”


    “Yeah, now that you mention it. I remember rolling around on your bed back then,


    but no matter how far I rolled, I wouldn’t fall off.”


    Time flew, and when talking about the past, one couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.


    It turned out that they were so happy back then, and so many years had already


    passed.


    Summer happily chirped like a little bird when talking about the past. “Oh, do you


    remember when we used to sneakily eat while still in bed, and then we were caught


    by your nanny?”


    There was no response to this statement.

    Chapter 170 Rewarding Too Much?


    Thinking that Victoria had fallen asleep, Summer looked at her only to see her


    looking down, seemingly absent-minded.


    “Victoria. Victoria?”


    Summer called her several times in a row before Victoria snapped out of her


    thoughts.


    “What’s wrong with you?”


    Victoria could only force a smile and replied, “Nothing, I just got lost in thought for a


    moment.”

    Unexpectedly, Summer grabbed the back of her head and said sternly, “After being


    friends with you for so many years, I’m dead sure you have something on your mind.


    Come on, spit it out.”


    At that, Victoria finally nced at her and pondered for a moment before saying,


    “Can you please not say those things anymore?”


    “What things?” The sudden request left Summer puzzled.


    Knowing that she was confused, Victoria reminded her. “At dinner tonight.”


    Chapter 179 Rewarding Too Much?


    When Summer heard this, she immediately understood. “You mean the jokes I made


    about you and Bane?”


    4/8


    Victoria remained silent.


    “So, is your mind elsewhere because of this?” Summer asked as she puzzled.


    Victoria muttered, “I feel it’s not right.”


    “Do you feel awkward because of the things I said, or is it because you don’t want to


    be with Bane, so you think it’s not appropriate?”


    “-”


    “Victoria, I don’t understand.” Summer tapped her chin. “It’s been five years, and


    Bane has been extremely caring toward you. He is so amodating as well. You


    still don’t have any feelings for him?”


    Victoria pursed her lips and remained silent.


    “But if he were unattractive, or poor, or treated you badly, I could understand if you


    didn’t like him, but he isn’t any of those things. He’s incredibly good-looking, not to


    mention his wealth. You know how he treats you.”


    Chapter 179 Rewarding Too Much?


    After hearing this, Victoria couldn’t help but furrow her brows in protest.


    “But feelings aren’t about these things.”


    “Then, what are they about? Tell me, what are you looking for?” Summer smiled.


    “Instead, why don’t you just tell me, have you liked anyone in these five years?


    There’s more than just Bane being interested in you.”


    “Summer, I have children. I don’t want to think about these things.”


    “But those people don’t mind that you have children. Bane practically treats Nicole.


    and Nathan as his own children, right?”


    “Yes, I know. I owe him a lot.”


    Victoria owed him so much that she might never be able to repay him in this


    lifetime.


    “Ah, if Bane heard you say that, he would definitely be heartbroken.” Summer


    couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. “I really think he’s great and good-looking, and


    his family background is good too. The most important thing is that he’s virtuous.


    and has no other women around him. There’s only one woman in his life, and that’s


    you. If you could date him, you’ll definitely live a happy life in the future.”

    Chapter 179 Rewarding Too Much?


    “Summer…”


    “Alright, alright. Regardless of how good he is to you or what impression you have of


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    him, you have to trust me that I’ll always be on your side. I’m only suggesting it


    because I think he’s a good person. But if you really don’t like him, let’s just forget it.


    It’s not a big deal. I won’t mention it again.”


    Victoria was somewhat surprised as she had expected Summer to strongly


    persuade her.


    “You’re not going to persuade me anymore?”


    “Why should I persuade you? Are you silly? You’re my best friend. How could I force


    you to do something you don’t like? Besides, even if I did force you, it might not


    work.”


    Victoria gave her a heartfelt smile. She rarely smiled like this ever since bing a


    mother.


    If Summer had known that saying such things would be so effective, she would


    have said it from the start. After all, as her best friend, protecting her smile was her


    duty.

    Sat,


    Chapter 179 Rewarding Too Much?


    After setting the date to return to Uspein, Victoria told the two children about it.


    The two little ones were obedient and they would always listen to her.


    Nicole even snuggled into her arms directly. “Wherever Mommy goes, I go too.”


    Nathan also shyly said, “Hmm, Nicole is right.”


    Victoria patted their little heads and said softly, “Thenter, you can go live and tell


    everyone about our recent situation where we’ll temporarily stop broadcasting for


    now. After we settle down in our new home after returning to Uspein, we can start


    broadcasting again, okay?”


    “Okay, Mommy. We’ll live and talk about itter.”


    While Victoria was packing her things, the two children went straight to their room


    to start the live stream.

    When the viewers of the live stream noticed that the background for today’s stream


    was different from usual as they were not in the living room but in a cozy little room,


    they started asking in the chat. Nicole took the chance to share the news.


    “Friends, we won’t be doing live streams anymore.”

    Chapter 179 Rewarding Too Mutil


    Huh? The viewers of the live stream were momentarily perplexed. No more live


    streams? Why?


    Among those who felt ‘perplexed’ was ric, who was sitting in his office at the


    moment. He had put down his work and was watching the live stream of the two


    adorable children.


    After hearing the announcement that there would be no more live streams, his face


    fell and he gripped his phone tighter. No more live streams? Why?


    The first thought that came to his mind was-Could it be that she thinks I’ve been


    rewarding her too much?
