Chapter 437
After a shower, Victoriay on the bed, wrapped in soft,fortable sheets.
She thought she had almost forgotten about everything that happened five years ago.
In the beginning, every night after she left, she would always recall the things that had
happened here, especially the moments between her and ric. As time passed by,
she found it harder to jolt these memories. Later, some would not even pop up in her
mind anymore, and she simply lived peacefully.
She thought she had forgotten about them, but when in bed, all the memories she
shared with ric came crashing into her mind like a tsunami. Like walking down
memoryne, she watched the images as they yed through her mind, and she
remembered that she had done the most intimate actions with him on this bed.
Without realizing how much time had passed, she gradually fell asleep, and it was
Nathan who came into her room to wake her up the next day. Checking the time on her
phone, she saw that it was already 10.00AM.
“You’ve been asleep for a long time, Mommy,” he whined, looking at her.
Grabbing her messy hair, she said in embarrassment, “Yeah, I forgot to set an rmst
night and overslept without realizing it.”
He trotted to the bedside, grabbed her arm, and said softly, “Mommy, Grandma asked

the chef to prepare a lot of delicious food, but we ate first because you were still
asleep. You must be hungry now. Would you like them to have the food brought
upstairs?”

“It’s alright.” She shook her head and turned down his offer, thinking that she was not
doing so awful that she needed to have her meal delivered to the room. “Head down. I’ll
be right there after changing.”
“Okay.”
After he left, a sigh escaped her lips. She did not expect herself to sleep so deeply,
either. Did I sleep so soundly because I returned to a familiar ce? I don’t remember
sleeping like this in the past.
Downstairs, she had breakfast and saw Nicole sitting in Mary’s arms with a pretty
bracelet around her wrist. “Where did you get that?” she asked.
“Grandma gave this to me!” Since Victoria had noticed her bracelet, Nicole kept
showing it to her and mentioning that it was a gift from Mary.
“Did you thank Grandma, then?”
“I did, Mommy.”
Mary chuckled at her ways and pinched her soft cheek before turning to Victoria.

“We’re almost done preparing for the move. Let us know when you’re free, and we’ll
move right away.”
As the distance was near, they wanted to take a flight at first, but after safety
considerations, they decided to travel in their private cars with bodyguards.

Victoria agreed to their idea and said considerately, “I’m alright with any timing and can
go now.”
“Don’t you need more rest?”
“It’s okay, Mom. I’m not tired.”

“Then, let’s go back earlier since the kids still have school to attend.”
“Sure.”
The Cadogan couple might be getting on in years, but they were pumped up and
efficient when they wanted something done. On the same afternoon, Victoria was
already on her way back to Jasea in the same car with them.
In the car, she whisked out her phone and sent ric a text. ‘I’m with your parents…‘
She came to a stop, thinking that the way she addressed Adrian and Mary was a little
problematic. Although she still did not want to forgive ric, addressing them as his
parents sounded like they were strangers to her. Hence, she deleted her sentence and
started again.
‘We’re on our way to Jasea today.‘ This should sound alright. She read through it a
couple of times to ensure it was okay before hitting ‘Send“.
However, she received no reply even after a long time. Without any iing texts, she
kept her phone away and did not think much about it.
As there was a time difference between both countries, messages and calls might not
always arrive at appropriate times, so she reckoned that he was probably sleeping or
busy when he did not answer her. Well, he’ll probably answer once he’s free.
It was already nighttime when they arrived in Jasea, which was glowing brightly with
lights and high–rise buildings. This kind of view was nothing new to Mary; maybe
because she wanted to give Victoria some face to reduce her anxiety, she said, “The
buildings here areparable to Gandra, and I just found out this city is a good choice
to live in after checking the weather data. If you’d like to move here for good, tell ric
to move thepany here, too.”
She said everything to please Victoria, who simply replied awkwardly, “That depends on
him.”
“Not him, but us,” Mary said, holding her tiny wrist and assuring Victoria. “He must be
willing to move for your sake. If not, I’ll help you.”
Is he willing to move because of me? Victoria wondered. Somehow, she could bring
herself to believe this. Judging from how he was acting recently, she thought he would
do something like that. Nevertheless, moving thepany was a big issue because
many of the employees in Cadogan Group were Gandra citizens. If they moved, not only
the entirepany, even all the employees would be in serious problems.
“We’ll see how things go.”
“Sure, let’s see how things go. It will take him some time to return, anyway.”
Out of consideration, Mary did not ask her why he was still abroad. In contrast, Victoria
was a little embarrassed. Everything was already settled, but he remained abroad
because of her selfishness, and nobody knew when he could return.
As the Cadogans had properties in Jasea, they moved into one close to Nicole and
Nathan’s school. Their servants and butler had arrived before them and cleaned up the
ce, and after spending some time settling in, Victoria finally had the opportunity to
check her phone.
To her dismay, ric still had not replied to her text, eliciting a frown on her. It would

not have been weird if someone else ignored her, but it was rather odd when it was
him.
Setting aside how uptight he was over her, she reckoned that it was a dangerous task
to search for Ethan abroad. Although he had help by his side, the other party was quite
a big number, and he was also injured. At the thought of that, she tensed up and
clutched her phone tightly. Is he in some trouble?
