Chapter 560


    Chapter 560 Come to My House, Please


    Victoria’s unexpected phone call in the middle of the night left Summer in disbelief as she never


    expected that Victoria would call and casually mention being at the airport.


    After being stunned for a while, Summer finally found her voice. “Why aren’t you asleep at this hour?


    Didn’t we agree to rest well and meet tomorrow?”


    On the other end of the line was Victoria, who replied with amusement, “How could I note to pick


    up my


    best friend when she returns home?”


    Summer felt an overwhelming surge of gratitude instantly, her eyes growing moist. “Alright, I’m on my


    way.”


    “I’ll be waiting,” Victoria replied.


    After ending the call, Audrey was the first to inquire. “Is it your friend who’sing to pick you up?”


    Summer nodded in response. “Yes, my friend’s here. I explicitly told her not toe, yet she


    disregarded my words and hurried over in the dead of night.”


    Audrey couldn’t help but feel a tinge of envy. “That’s so wonderful. You won’t have to take our family’s


    car then, and I won’t need to worry about you.”


    At the sight of Audrey’s genuine concern, Summer replied, “Thank you for caring. You should head


    back now so your family doesn’t have to wait too long.”


    Audrey agreed and said, “Let’s catch upter.”


    “Okay.”


    After bidding farewell to Audrey, Summer took a deep breath and made her way to collect her luggage.


    She had resigned from her job and returned home, so she brought a substantial amount of luggage


    that required a


    detour to retrieve.


    As she waited for her belongings, she sent a message to Victoria, exining the situation.


    Victoria’s thoughtful reply reassured her by telling her not to worry and that she would be waiting.


    A thought crossed Summer’s mind, and she asked, ‘Are you alone?”


    Victoria answered, ‘No, I’m not.‘


    Summer was finally relieved and felt at ease.


    It was good to have someone apany Victoria in thete–night hours. Since Victoria had an eye–


    catching appearance, Summer was genuinely concerned for her friend’s safety. As she waited for her


    luggage, she received an unexpected text message.


    ‘Have younded?‘


    She read and re–read the message several times, finding it hard to believe it was from Erik. Summer


    exited the conversation and checked his profile multiple times to confirm the authenticity of the


    message since she found it slightly skeptical.


    After double–checking, Summer finally epted that Erik had sent her the message. She realized the


    situation after feeling a mix of curiosity and quickprehension.


    13:59 Wed, 19 Jul G


    It seemed perfectly normal for him to politely inquire about her after her flight home as she suffered


    years of exploitation under his management without being granted any annual leave.


    Summer replied to his message with a smiley emoji. ‘Yes, I have! Thank you, Mr. Ludson, for your


    concern.”


    After sending the formal reply, she put her phone aside and focused on retrieving her luggage that had


    just


    arrived.


    Once she had her belongings, Summer hurried toward the exit and spotted her best friend with a tall,


    handsome figure in waiting. Victoria was buried under her coat which shielded her from the winter chill.


    From a distance, Victoria and the man looked like a perfect match.


    To Summer’s surprise, she was immediately hit with a sweet moment when she approached them. She


    couldn’t help but tease them. “Wow, you two are amazing. Don’t you know that airline food isn’t tasty?


    You’re here to feed me some sugar, yes? Thanks a lot.”


    In the past, Summer wouldn’t dare to speak to ric like this. However, she no longer felt the same


    level of fear toward him after Victoria’s memory loss and what they went through.


    Victoria yfully pushed ric aside and embraced Summer tightly while Summer reciprocated the


    hug with equal warmth.


    It had been a long time since theyst saw each other, and there were so many things they wanted to


    express. They held each other for a while to cherish the moment.


    Their eye–catching appearance caught the attention of passersby, who couldn’t help but steal nces


    at them.


    ric was still jealous after observing Summer and Victoria embracing, but he couldn’t resist teasing,


    “Do you both have enough hugs? It’s gettingte.”


    Summer nced at ric speechlessly, after which she released Victoria from the embrace. Victoria


    immediately grabbed her arm with a yful smile.


    “Let’s ignore him. He’s just a jealous guy,” Victoria said.


    Summer nodded and replied, “Okay.”


    Victoria then suggested, “Didn’t you enjoy the airne food? Are you hungry? Let’s grab something to


    eat


    together.”


    “No, really.” Summer instinctively waved her hand. “It’s quitete, and I’m grateful you came to pick me


    up. Just drop me off at the hotel. I can grab some instant noodles in the shop nearby my hotel.”


    Victoria frowned upon hearing the mention of instant noodles. “Instant noodles?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Summer nodded, saying, “Yeah.”


    “But they’re not nutritious. Why would you eat that?” Victoria questioned.


    Summer protested, “It’s just this once; what harm can it do?”


    After a moment of contemtion, Victoria realized her hypocrisy. She noticed that it was eptable for


    her to eat instant noodles, but when it came to her best friend, she suddenly considered the item to be


    lacking in nutrition.


    Victoria disagreed with Summer for eating instant noodles. “No, you should hurry and get in the car.


    We’ll apany you to grab something to eat.”


    Despite Summer’s continued insistence, Victoria eventually pulled her into the car. After a brief


    discussion, they visited ate–night food stall and had hot chocte.


    Since it waste at night, there were lesser choices of food for them to choose from.


    Although ric didn’t fancy hot chocte, he couldn’t resist Victoria’s enthusiasm and ordered a cup of


    hot


    chocte too.


    The aroma of hot chocte filled the air.


    After taking a big sip and eating a couple of sandwiches, Summer finally felt her empty stomach


    bing full.


    Noticing that Summer didn’t look well, Victoria took care of her attentively.


    ric observed the two of them and witnessed how Victoria cared for Summer. Although he knew they


    were


    just besties and Summer was a woman, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of envy.


    Summer suggested returning to the hotel after eating because it was alreadyte, and she didn’t want


    to dy


    the couple’s time together. Additionally, she also sensed the slight tension from ric.


    To her surprise, Victoria asked where she was staying and insisted on sleeping at the hotel together.


    Summer felt speechless as she sensed that she might inadvertently end up on ric’s list of rivals if


    she agreed to Victoria’s request.


    She just chuckled awkwardly and asked, “Why? You can’t bear to part with me to the point? We can


    just meet


    again tomorrow, so you don’t have to spend the night with me in the hotel. The hotel bed won’t be as


    comfortable as your own, though.‘


    ”


    Victoria seemed to resonate with her words. “You’re right. The hotel bed isn’t as cozy as the one at


    home, and


    the cleanliness might not meet our expectations.”


    “Yeah, exactly.” Summer agreed to it.


    However, Victoria gave another suggestion a momentter. “Don’t stay at the hotel. Juste over to


    my


    ce.”


    Summer blinked in surprise. “Huh?”


    Victoria exined, “We have a guest room at home, and the staff always keeps it clean. You can


    simply grab a nket and sleep.”


    There was a slight hesitation on Summer’s part as she didn’t immediately ept Victoria’s offer.


    Instead, she subconsciously nced in ric’s direction.
