After he left, Victoria remained standing in the doorway and took a few deep breaths to
calm herself down. She touched her cheeks after some time and found that they were
still hot. It was just a hug. She was surprised he trusted her without any hesitation. So
that means he’s always liked me more, then.
“Mommy?” a boy asked from behind.
Victoria froze for a moment and turned around only to see Nathan staring at her. It
surprised her. “Nathan? Why are you still up?” I thought he was asleep. She averted her
gaze. How long has he been standing there? He didn’t see anything, did he? She walked
toward him and crouched down to pick him up. “You should’ve worn more clothes.
Don’t want to catch a cold, do you?”
Nathan wrapped his arms around Victoria’s neck.
Nervously, she asked, “So how long have you been up?”
“Long enough to see Mr. Night out here.”
Oh, um… He saw it, huh? She smiled awkwardly. But eh, it’s fine. He’s seen it tons of
times anyway. She patted his head. If he’s not bringing it up, I won’t either.

However, Nathan brought it up. “Are you really going to date Mr. Night?”

Victoria paused for a moment. She was reminded of what Nicole told her and sighed. “I
can’t be sure, but you shouldn’t butt into this. If anythinges of this, I’ll tell you and
Nicole, alright?”
Nathan nodded. “Okay.”
“Good boy.” Victoria took him back to his room and tucked him in.
udia eventually fell asleep. Scarlette was the one taking care of her, but since ric
didn’t show up, Scarlette eventually got tired and went home, telling her servants to
deal with the matter instead. udia kept mocking the servant after they came, and
even when they just wanted to give her some fruits, she shooed them away.
Eventually, the servant wouldn’t even go close to udia and stood in the corner, only
responding when udia needed them. When udia fell asleep, the servant heaved a
sigh of relief and left her corner.
Even though udia was asleep, it was a fitful sleep, for she had a dream where people
found out that she took credit for Victoria’s work. She fell from grace and became

public enemy number one. Everyone called her a shameless whore for taking credit
that belonged to someone else just to get close to ric.

Without the Cadogans‘ protection, her family quickly fell into decline, and a big part was
thanks to the Cadogan’s animosity toward them. She woke up with a start, and the only
thing that greeted her was a silent ward. There was not a soul inside, not even the
servant her mother sent, much to her chagrin. “Where the hell are you, L? You’re here
to take care of me, not ck off!”
L quickly came in. “Miss udia, I–1
udia grabbed something and hurled it at L. “Where the hell were you?”
Shocked, L moved away and tried to exin herself, but someone came in. When she
realized who it was, the look on udia’s face changed. “ric…” What? Why is he
here? udia thought she was seeing things. She didn’t think ric woulde when
she was having a fit. This is awkward. She had always presented herself as a gentle
and soft–spoken woman, not a wench. This was far from her usual facade.
Panicked, she quickly got out of bed. “ric!” She started crying and pounced at him. “I
thought you’d never speak to me again.”
ric looked at her wrist. “Why the fury?”

udia quickly exined, “I–I was in a bad mood because I thought you didn’t care
about me anymore, so… I’m sorry, L. I didn’t mean it. Are you alright?”
L nodded. What a two–face b*tch. She then took a few steps back and said, “I’ll be
going now. Please, enjoy yourselves.” She left and closed the door.
udia had no idea what time it was, but it must bete. She couldn’t believe ric
woulde over at this hour. “Are you still mad at me? I-I can exin. Don’t listen to
them. I didn’t sleep with any guy.”
A smirk curled ric’s lips. He didn’t talk about that. Instead, he went around and sat
down on a chair.
The distance he was putting between them was not unnoticed. Panicked, udia
followed behind him. “You don’t believe me?”
ric poured himself a ss of water, but he didn’t answer.
udia sat down. “Where did you gost night?” She bit her lip. “Did you go to see
Victoria? You still can’t forget about her, can you? But she hurt you five years ago. Even
if you two date, she’ll still dump you again, but not me. All I care about is you. I won’t
abandon you, ric. I saved your life, remember?” She gritted her teeth. “Please, trust
1. me. I saved your life, so I won’t lie to you. I almost got myself killed just to save you. It

was so cold, and I even hurt my hand. I…”

“Yeah, it was cold. Really cold.” ric couldn’t hold it in at that point. “The girl who
saved me must be freezing. She must’ve lost all her strength after she saved me.”
“Yes.” udia nodded. “It took me everything I had just to save you.”
“Really?” ric looked at her coolly. “It took you everything just to save me?”
udia was in a hurry to present herself as a damsel in distress. Alright, let’s go with
Mom’s n and make him marry me. She was oblivious to the trap ric was setting
up, and she nodded.

ric cocked his brow. “If you did lose all your strength just to save me, how did you
get me onto drynd?” After Victoria told him the truth, ric thought back to that day
and realized something was off. Even he fell sick after falling into the river. If udia
did jump in to save him, she should have been down with a fever or worse, considering
she was injured. After all, the river was freezing and the weather was cold.
