President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Chapter 114: It Takes a Lot of Lies to Make It Work.



“Victoria, is something missing?” Aggie was a little worried.

“It’s fine, it’s just that the book has been turned over.”

Hearing this, Aggie was relieved and went back to her stew.

Victoria, on the other hand, took that gift box and opened it to see that inside was a bracelet, a very delicate emerald bracelet.

Since it’s something Edward gave out, it must be expensive.

Out of politeness, Victoria took out her cell phone and hurriedly called Edward.

The call had just been answered when Edward’s cough came from the other end.

“Tori, is your dad feeling better?”

Edward was really good to her, so Victoria feeled guilty for still lying to him and has privately made that kind of agreement with Nick.

“Grandpa, my dad is much better, thanks for the gift, it’s too expensive for me.”

“I told Nick to go see your dad, and I don’t know if the guy went yet.”

Edward was actually testing to see how close the two of them really were.

“He’s been there, don’t worry Grandpa.”

Edward’s eyes filled with laughter when he heard her say that.

“I’m glad you like it, you’ll put the bracelet on tonight, I plan to introduce you to the others so you don’t get bullied later.”

Victoria was moved, her eyes reddening a bit.

“Thank you.”

“Tori, you and Nick get along, okay? I’d love to see my great-grandson.”

“Me and Mr…”.

Subconsciously she was about to say Mr. Andrews and hastily changed her mind, “He and I will work on it, I just wasn’t well when I was a kid so it’s going to take a bit of time.”

When one lie is told, it takes countless lies to fulfill it.

“It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry, you guys are just working on it.”

Victoria said a few more words of greeting and concern before hanging up.

At the moment, when she looked at the bracelet on her hand again, she only felt the pressure.

Probably the same thing as Gabriel’s mother giving gifts as a status symbol.

She raised a hand to rub her brow and opened the bag of her gown.

It’s a starched dress with a few diamonds dotting the hem, and it’s definitely worth a lot of money.

It does seem like Dad paid a lot of money for this party.

It’s a good fit.

Victoria tried it and put it on the side.

Anyway, there were still a few hours before the evening party, so there was no need to start applying makeup now.

She walked downstairs.

“Aggie, I’m taking Gummy out.”

“Well, I wouldn’t dare put him out for the last two days with Mr. Andrews around, it’s probably suffocated him for the last two days.”

Victoria stood outside the room when she did hear Gummy’s aggrieved bark.

She had a moment of heartache, thinking that when the bank call came down, she must hurry up and move out from Shannon Villa, she couldn’t aggrieve Gummy because of Nick.

Probably smelling her scent, Gummy became extremely excited all of a sudden, barking and jumping and wagging his tail frantically.

Victoria threw the door open and was on top of her in an instant.

Fearing that walking the dog around the cottage would leave dog hair behind, she took Gummy on a lead and walked along the road.

Gummy is a German Shepherd with an active nature and Victoria has to trot to keep up.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

After walking a bit, she heard Gummy suddenly yelp a few times before darting forward.

Victoria couldn’t hold on and her hands ached from being strangled.

“Gummy!”

She gave a scolding, only to see Emily in front of her, sketching.

It’s very scenic, good for walking the dog, and good for sketching.

Emily heard the dog barking, turned around, and when she saw Victoria on the leash, her eyes lit up.

“Poppy!”

Victoria didn’t expect to run into Emily here, by all rights it was her birthday dinner tonight and Emily should have been getting ready early.

“Is this your dog, Poppy? What’s his name, he’s so pretty!”

Emily became extremely excited all of a sudden and Gummy was jumping up and down around her and having a great time.

Victoria suddenly felt that Gummy was warming up to all Nick’s family.

Emily strokes Gummy’s head, her face suddenly becoming lost.

“Gummy looks a lot like a dog I’ve seen before, even down to the markings on his forehead, it was a very small dog that my cousin had, but was given away.”

Nick?

Victoria raised an eyebrow, wasn’t Nick allergic to dog hair?

“It was my other cousin, Nick’s own brother, he was very gentle, he brought it back when it was only 1 month old, he loved it and teased it every day, but for some reason it was given away.”

Nick has a brother?

Victoria was just about to ask when she heard Emily change the subject.

“But don’t you ever mention this in front of Nick, his brother died, that year about the same age I am now.”
