Terrance didn’t move and only asked quietly after some time, “Mr. Cadogan, do you
really want to be discharged? You haven’t fully recovered yet.”
ric’s expression turned sour. “Don’t you see that a certain someone doesn’t care
at all and told me to get discharged?”

Terrance blinked once, then once more. “Nope, you were the one that got angry and
wanted to be discharged. Miss Selwyn said nothing of the sort.”
ric was speechless.
“Besides, if you hadn’t asked why Miss Selwyn brought you food, she wouldn’t have
told you about it today.”

ric’s expression darkened as Terrance went on. “What about tomorrow or the day
after that?”
“Mr. Cadogan, as I see it, you shouldn’t have said anything if you wanted to continue
seeing Miss Selwyn. We can’t bring things out into the open. You are the one who

wanted to pursue her, so if you keep behaving like this, can you manage to woo
her?”

Chapter 257 Angry
After being acquainted for several days, Terrance was daring enough to give advice
to his superior. He had noticed that if his suggestions regarding ric and Victoria
were beneficial, ric wouldn’t get angry at him.

True enough, ric fell silent after that. Terrance knew that ric had taken it in
and couldn’t help feeling somewhat victorious. Terrance might be more experienced
in dealing with women than his boss.
In the afternoon, Victoria arrived at the hotel at the agreed time. After her arrival, she
didn’t enter but sat down on the couch in the hotel lobby. She didn’t bring much
luggage since she nned on taking the ne home tomorrow.
As for the children, she had entrusted them to Fiona. Victoria and Fiona hadn’t
contacted each other much recently but Fiona had immediately taken up the
responsibility after hearing that Victoria needed help so that Victoria could focus on
her tasks. As a result, the animosity between them had dissipated slightly as well.
Victoria took out her phone to check the time. She had arrived a few minutes earlier
and waited for two minutes before sending Terrance a message.
‘Mr. Levane, have youe downstairs yet?’
She had to wait for three minutes before Terrance eventually replied to her, ‘Miss

Selwyn, you may have to wait a moment.

Victoria was stunned for several seconds before realizing that something might
have gone wrong. She kept away her phone and grabbed her purse before going
upstairs. She hade here before and so knew ric’s room well. Soon, she
arrived at the entrance.
After some thought, she pressed the doorbell. It was some time before someone
came to open the door.
Terrance was taken aback when he saw her. “Miss Selwyn, why have youe up
here?”
Victoria didn’t answer him but asked, “What happened?”
His eyes avoided hers. “N-Nothing.”
His guilty expression made her frown and her tone became stern. “What actually
happened?”
“Nothing happened, really. Why don’t you wait for another few minutes, Miss
Selwyn?”
She didn’t care about what he said anymore and went past him to go inside the
room.

“Miss Selwyn! Wait.” Terrance tried to stop her frantically but couldn’t get there in
time since she was too fast. He could only shout in panic behind her. “Miss Selwyn,
Mr. Cadogan is just changing his clothes.”
“Really?”
Why did he have to look so anxious if ric was just changing his clothes?
Victoria frowned, wondering if he had coughed up blood again. That was impossible
since he looked to be recovering well during thest few days. His hospital stay was
pretty long and he shouldn’t have been discharged today, plus she didn’t ask him to
get discharged. He had been the one to get angry and ask for that, but she didn’t
care enough to advise him against it.
But if he coughs up blood again…
She regretted her words now; she should have said them only a few days after. The
things she had said in the morning probably had gotten to him.
She headed directly for the bedroom while Terrance continued his attempt to stop
her. She frowned and was about to ce her hand on the doorknob when the
bedroom door opened to reveal ric who was already fully dressed and blocking
her way.
Victoria eyed him while he stood there with a cold look on his handsome face.
“What?”
“You’re okay?” She scanned his face to search for clues.
As she studied him, ric exchanged nces at Terrance who was standing off to
one side before continuing his way forward emotionlessly. “Why shouldn’t I be?”
ric continued for several steps before noticing that Victoria hadn’t followed him
and so turned his head to look at her. “Aren’t we going to see Grandma? Why aren’t
youing?”
She pursed her lips. “Are you sure you are okay? If your body cannot take it, I can
wait for another couple of days.”
“That’s not necessary.” He turned her down though, probably because he was still
angry. She didn’t have time to ascertain that since he immediately walked out after
that.
Terrance awkwardly urged her on too. “Miss Selwyn, let’s go.”
He then followed ric out while wheeling the luggage along with him. Victoria had
no choice but to follow.
She had wanted to sit in the passenger seat but then recalled that ric had lost his
temper and refused to leave when she did so at the Eastton equestrian facility.
Considering that this was a unique circumstance, she didn’t want to waste any time
and opened the back door, about to settle in the backseat.
Victoria had just bent over when she heard ric murmur frigidly, “Sit in the front.”
She paused in her movements and looked at him in disbelief, wondering if she had
misheard him. “What did you say?”
He was letting her sit in the passenger seat?
He maintained a cold expression and did not even nce at her. “Is there a
problem?”
Terrance, who had intended to sit in the passenger seat, opened the car door for her
as well. “Miss Selwyn, why don’t you sit in the front?”
This isn’t right. She stood where she was and narrowed her eyes. If ric was still
angry at her because of the discharge from the hospital earlier and refused to sit
with her, that was understandable. However, when had Terrance be so eager
and cooperative?
This event, apanied by his tar diness and refusal to let her look inside the
bedroom…
They might be hiding something from her.
Victoria studied ric once again. His clothes were crisp and clean, while his white
shirt was tucked neatly beneath his gray sweater. There weren’t any creases in his
coat either.
Since they were about to visit Old Mrs. Cadogan, he had carefully dressed himself
up. Victoria had done the same as well. She had gone home just to take a bath and
change into light-colored clothes. Everything seemed to be okay.
