Chapter 529
Chapter 529 Change of Heart
Although Victoria knew her decision might have been a little unfair to Bane, there was nothing much
she could do either. Maybe that’s the kind of person I am. A selfish person. I can’t please everyone
because there is only so much I can do. I’ve been tired recently, so tired that I even wanted to take my
own life and end all the suffering once and for all. Despite her initial suicidal intentions. Victoria
subsequently managed to find the strength to live on and the way to make peace
with her bewilderment, thinking she should save her time for the people she loved the most. As for the
rest, she would leave it all to her fate, knowing it would only be a waste of time trying to control
something beyond her power.
“Don’t worry. You’re the one whom I’ve decided to spend the rest of my life with, so you can rest
assured knowing I won’t see him again.” Victoria walked up to ric and held his hand. “But please
don’t be surprised to see me a little down because this is going tost for quite a bit of time. However, I
promise I’ll be back to normal soon. I just need some time… okay? I’m sorry.”
ric looked down, staring at his hands within her palms as his heart melted with sympathy. He then
pursed his lips like he was trying to suppress something within him, but in the end, his emotions
prevailed and prompted him to pull her into his arms. “Please don’t be, baby. Please don’t.”
While ric was already grateful enough to have Victoria back with him, the fact that she decided to
open up to him only served to add to his joy. In fact, now that Victoria had bared her heart out, ric
would no longer mind anymore, even if she wanted to meet Bane. At the thought of that, ric rested
his chin on Victoria’s shoulder and closed his eyes happily. “It’s okay. You can meet him.”
Victoria, who was in ric’s arms, was stunned when she heard the man’s words. “What did you say?”
“I said you’re free to meet him. I won’t be upset because I’m going to be the one who arranges that.” As
Victoria blinked in bewilderment, ric added, “Well, there is not a word from you. So, I’m going to take
your silence as a yes.”
Victoria then freed herself from ric’s embrace and looked up, staring at him. “Are you sure you’re not
going to be upset if I meet him? What if…” Victoria could still remember the times that ric got upset
and jealous just hearing her mention Bane’s name. Therefore, she was afraid she would provoke ric
if she met up with Bane.
“Forget about what ifs. You’re just going to be standing right before me, so what reason can I be mad
at you?”
Victoria went silent, but deep down, she had a strange feeling that something wrong was going on,
wondering whether ric was just trying to sound her out.
“Alright, I’ll tell Grandma about that once Nicole and Nathan wake up.”
“Are you sure you want me to meet him? We just told Mom to buy me some new pajamas,” Victoria
replied.
“Yeah, that’s exactly what I was trying to point out, but it’s okay. I’ll give Mom a callter and see if she
has already bought your pajamas. If she hasn’t, she won’t have to buy them for you anymore; but if she
has, it won’t matter much either because I believe you’ll have a chance to use them on our next visit.”

After hearing ric’s words, Victoria didn’t seem to find anything wrong with that as she nodded her
head in agreement. Fine, I already rejected ric once carlier, so it’s not going to change anything,
even if he is trying to sound me out. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
“Why don’t you go back to the living room and keep Nathanpany?”
Victoria nodded. “Alright.”
When Victoria returned to the living room, she was fascinated by the fact that she didn’t realize how
time had passed while talking to ric. As she rejoined Nathan, she saw her son already done building
the Lego structure he wanted. Surprised and impressed, sheplimented her son’s resourcefulness.
“Wow, I didn’t think you’d get it done so soon, Nathan. How smart!” Victoria sat down and caressed
Nathan’s head,plimenting him in a serious manner.
Nathan blushed in his cheeks upon hearing his mother’spliment. “Thanks, Mommy.”
Victoria went on to caress Nathan’s head until something crossed her mind. She then told her son
about the n to return hometer that night, to which Nathan asked, “What? Are we going back?
Aren’t we going to stay here anymore?”
“No, we are not, but I promise we will be back here again soon. Do you and Nicole like it here?”
“Yes.” Nathan nodded. “Great–Grandma and Great–Grandpa treat me and Nicole pretty well.”
Victoria couldn’t help but smile and say, “Alright, we’ll be sure to be back again.”
“Okay.” A question crossed his mind. “Can you y with us again when wee next time?” he
asked.
“Yes, of course. I’ll be sure toe with you guys, but I may not be able to apany the two of you
during your winter and summer break if you guys are nning to have a long stay here.” Victoria
finished her words and reached for her phone, taking a picture of Nathan, who was done building his
Lego structure. However, when she was about to post it on her social media news feed, she realized
she couldn’t ess her ount through the cell phone she had. After all, the phone that she had was
given to her by ric as soon as she was rescued. Yeah, this is a new phone. My old one with my
social media ount is with Bane. Because of that, she was forced to give up on the idea of uploading
the picture onto her social media feed. After that, she saved the picture, thinking she should keep it
until ric retrieved her phone for her.
Soon, ric came closer and said, “The pajamas have been bought, and the rest of them are on their
way back.”
“Alright, I’ll be sure to use them when wee again next time.” Victoria nodded.
“Yeah.”
After Casey learned about the news that they were leaving at night, the first thing she did when she
came back was to confirm it. “What? That’s soon. I thought you guys were going to stay here for at
least four to five days,” she said in a sad manner upon learning that it was true.
On the other hand, Victoria was sorry that there was nothing much she could do due to sudden
changes in her n. Although Casey couldn’t bear to leave the children, she restrained herself from
telling them her sentimental feelings as she only told them to visit her again.
Victoria responded with an affirmative reply to Casey’s request. After that, Casey didn’t say anything
else much as she told her husband to pack some food that she had made for Victoria and ric to take
away. Then, when Casey handed the food over to Victoria, she said, “I made them all by myself. I know
they may not taste as good as the food out there and may notst that long, but I can assure you that
the food she makes is a hundred percent healthy and natural.”
“Please don’t say that, Great–Grandma. The food that you and Great–Grandpa make is the best. What
makes it even better is the fact that they’re natural, unlike any other processed food out there in the
market. For that, I’d say your cooking is the best.”
Victoria’s heart–warming words melted Casey’s heart.

“That’s very sweet of you.”
“Nathan and Nicole will still have to go to school when they get back, but I promise I’ll bring them along
whenever we’re free.”
“Sure. Sure.”
After they went on to exchange pleasantries for a few more moments, ric ordered his men to pick up
their luggage since they were ready to leave. In the meantime, Mary, who wanted to keep her parents
company a little longer, had no choice but to leave early as well because there was no one to take care
of Nicole and Nathan. After all, she had been waiting for years for her two grandchildren to be with her,
which was why she was reluctant to separate herself from them again. In the end, she decided to go
back with the two of them, but due to the limited capacity of the car, she was forced to find her way
back home by taking a cab.
Meanwhile, Victoria, who was embarrassed to let Mary find her own ride, was going to suggest that she
take the ride with them, but Mary said, “Come on, I’m not a kid anymore. I can take a cab by myself.
Furthermore, this is some quality time for the four of you to spend together, so I must leave you all to
it.”
