Chapter 103: Will she fall out of love with someone else?
Edward did not know the dirty things that his father did later, if he knew, then he might destroy his family.
Not to mention his dad did that to Victoria.
Sweat began to slowly pour out of Lucas’ forehead, and he knew that it was Victoria’s threat.
If he continued to antagonize her and made her hold up Nick’s list, she would mention to Edward that his dad tried to assault her once.
When the time came, disaster would surely come to his family.
Lucas didn’t expect Victoria to pull such a trump card, he opened his mouth for a long time before spitting out a sentence, “Looks like I underestimated you, Poppy.”NôvelDrama.Org content.
He thought she was nothing more than a self-important woman, but he didn’t realize she was hiding such an identity.
He’d heard about Nick’s marriage three years ago, but had never met the fabled wife, not realizing that now she was sitting right in front of him, and had already been viciously offended by him and his father.
Lucas only felt suffocated, a painstaking hunt for sex had eventually turned into this.
He raised a hand to rub his brow, but he knew how to behave in a delicate situation.
“You have Edward behind you, so naturally I don’t dare to mess around anymore, but your husband is right next door, and yet you’re here with me in a two-person world, you’re really big-hearted too.”
Victoria then dared to take a sip from her glass, her lips pursed slightly.
“To me, Nick is just Mr. Andrews, and since I signed an agreement to just be a stranger, I’m certainly not going to be the first to break it.”
As they spoke, the waiter knocked respectfully at the door and pushed their food in.
Lucas ordered the couple’s dinner for two tonight and had a beautiful gift box.
He had hoped to be able to take Victoria down tonight, but now he would have to give up.
“Poppy, tonight’s dishes are all the latest from the chef here. They’re already here, eat before you go.”
Now that the matter was settled, Victoria decided to enjoy the food. Lucas’ philandering was none of her business. He was a rich president and suave looking, as long as it was not like his father’s, there was no need for her to care.
One of the wines on the table was very much to her liking, and she couldn’t help but drink more of it, her eyes narrowing slightly and her cheeks blushing.
Lucas looked mesmerized that Nick could not feel anything for such a wife. Was he not good in that area?
Lucas really did have some feelings for Victoria, especially now that she was slightly drunk and petulant, and the way she had taken off that layer of defense just made him want to protect her.
“This wine has a strong aftertaste, don’t be greedy.” He finished, and then regretted saying so a little.
It was good to let her have a few more drinks and see her drunk for a few more moments.
The more Lucas looked at it, the angrier he got. If Nick really didn’t like Victoria, it would be much better to just get a divorce.
With a table full of good food in front of him, Lucas lost his appetite.
Just in time for the person in charge of the fireworks to call and ask when he was going to do it as everything was ready.
What a shit!
Lucas was depressed as hell, but his eyes were unconsciously fixed on Victoria.
Victoria had a glass in hand, and was looking out the window with her head tilted.
The view from here was of all of Veridian City, except that it was hard to book a booth here, and Nick also hogged one year-round, so that made the rest of the booths even harder to book.
In this situation, Victoria couldn’t help but remember something from the past, and a hint of loss rose to her face.
Lucas, most of all, couldn’t stand to see a sad beauty, and said into the phone, “Now, hurry up.”
The money was spent anyway, but no one was more stifled than he was when it came to spending money to please someone else’s wife.
As soon as the words were spoken, the sky lit up with sparkling fireworks.
Though Victoria thought Lucas was cheesy for sending flowers and jewelry.
But there probably wasn’t a woman who didn’t like fireworks.
“No wonder Mr. Steele has so many romantic confidants.”
Because it was a little hazy in front of her, she spoke with such a softness.
“You like it as much as you like. And if you divorce Nick later, my heart is always open for you.”
Who knew if it was a joke or genuine one?
Victoria looked down and smiled but didn’t say anything, how come all these rich people thought other people’s wives were better?
And in the next box, the fireworks lit up for a moment. Aidan couldn’t help but shake his head.
“To say Lucas, he’s lost no one when it comes to dating women, and this fireworks show cost at least a million dollars.”
When he finished, he looked over at Nick and inquired with a grin, “Do you think Poppy will be moved?”
