    Chapter 210


    The twists and turns of events always arrived unexpectedly.


    Just moments ago, Fiona, convinced that her story would end in misery, was


    heartbroken. She had nned to return home and seek sce in tears with Victoria


    while mourning her first time being rejected.


    To her surprise, the man came back.


    As Fiona sat in the car, her emotions surged like a roller coaster.


    She pursed her lips when she felt an overwhelming sweetness in her heart. Her


    courage also grew, and she attempted to strike up a conversation with him during


    the ride.


    “Uh… Can I ask you a question?” she started.


    ric stared ahead without a hint of emotion on his face. “Go ahead.”

    “Well, so… What’s your name? Don’t get me wrong. I simply don’t know how to


    address you. After all, I don’t even know yourst name.”


    “Cadogan,” he replied sinctly.

    “Cadogan?” Fiona seemed surprised. “Yourst name’s Cadogan?”


    Her reaction made ric think of a possibility, and the man soon raised an eyebrow


    and asked, “Do you know me?”


    “Nope,” Fiona murmured. “I just thought that you have a beautifulst name.”


    ric was rather speechless. So, she has never mentioned a word about me even


    though they are best friends? he thought quietly. She is even pretending to not


    know me. Did she forget about me after five years? Ha!


    After learning hisst name, Fiona greedily desired to know his full name. She held


    back at first but in the end, she couldn’t resist asking, “Mr. Cadogan, am I really not


    allowed to know your full name?”


    ric maintained a serious expression and offered no reply.


    Undeterred, Fiona asked, “What about your contact information?”


    s, he paid her no heed.


    Nevertheless, the woman wasn’t discouraged. She sat in the same car with him


    after he was willing to apologize to her friend for a mere ‘misunderstanding‘, which


    7/8


    Chapter 211 11 Definitely Say Something Good Abo


    was why she could tell that this was a man of admirable prospects.


    He might be someone who could be a decent long–term partner.


    Also, she didn’t mind his indifference.


    Fiona knew all too well that the seemingly aloof and indifferent facade, which


    appeared as icy as an iceberg to others, would melt into a fervent passion once.


    someone had captured his heart.


    She loved how special she would feel being someone’s whole world.


    However, she had never encountered a man like ric before.


    Most men wouldn’t be able to control their desires and would always treat women,


    especially those who were beautiful, with extra care.


    3/8


    Not many men of her type existed, which was why her rtionships were always


    short–lived. They would attract her at first sight, but as they spent time together, she


    would realize how extremely boring there were. It wouldst about a week before


    her rtionships be dull.


    It’s not like she hadn’t taken notice of Bane, who was by ric’s side.


    E


    Chapter 211 I Definitely Say Something Good Abo


    Although Bane wasn’t an icy mountain and seemed gentle and kind to everyone,


    Fiona could sense that he maintained a certain distance despite being polite to


    others.


    Other than Victoria, it was difficult for anyone of the opposite sex to enter his safe


    distance.


    Unfortunately, this was her best friend’s man. She couldn’t possibly make a move on


    him.


    It wasn’t easy for Fiona to bump into such an exquisite man like ric aftering


    back to Corynthea. She wasn’t going to give up just like that.


    The more she thought about it, the more enthusiastic she became. Once she


    sessfully conquered ric, she probably wouldn’t need to change boyfriends so


    frequently in the future.


    Upon arriving at the destination, ric looked at the quaint residential area before.


    him with squinted eyes. He finally spoke then.


    “Do you and your friend live here?”


    “Yup.” Fiona nodded. “It’s a prettyfortable and quiet location. My friend just

    returned from abroad, so I thought of finding her a ce that might bring her luck to


    live in. It will probably help her career too.”


    “Her career?”


    “Mhm. My friend wants to open her own business.”


    ric raised an eyebrow subtly. He never would have thought that there would


    mouth.


    At the thought of this, he couldn’t help feeling somewhat insulted.


    Despite that, he was still curious to know about her life.


    “A business?” ric interlocked his fingers and ced them in front of his knees.


    “Are you starting a business together?”


    “No.” Fiona shook her head. “I work for my father at the airport. He doesn’t allow me.


    to start a business. After I graduated, he asked me to help with the family business.


    and learn management there.”


    However, he showed no reaction as he sat there even after she said those words.

    She looked at his expression and pondered for a moment before she spoke again.


    “My friend wants to start apany.”


    As expected, ric’s eyebrows twitched again when Fiona mentioned Victoria.


    “Whatpany is it?”


    Fiona grumbled, “I’m not entirely sure. I only have a vague idea, but I haven’t asked


    about the specifics.”


    She found it strange that this man seemed really interested in Victoria. Is it because


    of the mistake he made after getting drunkst night?


    When she brought up the matter earlier, he had acted as if he had already forgotten


    about it. He made Fiona think that he wasn’t interested in Victoria. So, the only


    possible reason left must be because he feels sorry. It’s because he feels sorry for


    her that he pays more attention to her.


    Fiona understood this kind of feeling to some extent. “You don’t have to worry. My


    friend is a kind and gentle person. She’s really easygoing. After you apologize to her


    and exin yourself, we can all have a meal together. Everything will be just fine.”


    “Is that so?”


    12:48 Sat,


    Chapter 211 Definitely Say Something Good Abo


    “Mhm! You don’t have to worry. I’ll definitely say something good about you on your


    behalf. My friend will surelye to ept you.”


    Say something good about me, huh? After their conversation, ric finally turned to


    Fiona with a serious gaze.


    “What’s your name?”


    The woman’s eyes shone and she immediately replied, “Myst name’s Garza. I’m


    Fiona Garza.”


    As if to confirm, ric asked again, “What about your friend?”


    “What?”


    “How should I address her when I see herter?”


    “Oh, you’re talking about her. Her name’s Victoria. Victoria Selwyn.”


    “Victoria Selwyn.” As ric uttered those three words, it felt like an entire light–year


    had passed.


    7/8


    The once familiar name that used to roll off his tongue like water now felt unfamiliar,


    as if it had been a long time since that name wasst said.


    Chapter 211 i’ll Definitely Say Something Good Abo


    Fiona, who was beside him, was stunned when she heard those two words from


    him. She realized how his voice sounded particrly deep and pleasant when he


    said Victoria’s name. Why isn’t he calling my name, though?! Is it because my


    name’s not as pretty as Victoria’s?


    Thus, Fiona began to regret not giving herself a nicer name.


    With a gloomy mood, she and ric finally reached the entrance where Fiona led


    him inside.


    “Victoria!”


    As soon as they entered, Fiona began calling Victoria’s name.


    B/B


    ric followed behind her but when he stood at the entrance, his feet wouldn’t take


    another step as he started looking around the room.


    It was probably because the women had just moved in here that there was no trace


    of Victoria’s presence in the house. It looked unfamiliar, but from now on, Victoria


    would be living here.


    After taking off his shoes, the man slowly and impassively walked into the room.
