Chapter 925
Trevor slowly opened his eyes. He realized that in some ways, their desires were similar.
Despite the burden in his mind, he was satisfied at this moment.
Trevor unconsciously tightened his grip on Victoria as he hugged her. "Vicky, I feel the same."
He was happy and content with the life he had now.
"Trevor... We have to work hard every day to be better and happier."
She was engulfed in his warmth and shrunk further into his embrace. Soon, he heard the rhythm of her steady breathing. He gently stroked her soft hair and smiled affectionately as he gazed down at her.
That night, they cuddled up in silence. It was an unforgettable moment.
These moments seemed to pass quickly. After finishing a day's work, she made some tea. Victoria called home and asked her mother and grandmother how things were back at home.
She was relieved to learn that everything wasContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
fine.
Victoria turned around and stretched, then she sprayed the flowers on the side to preserve them. She smiled happily as she admired the tulips. She was in a pleasant mood.
As she thought of something, she flipped through her social media updates and chats. Finally, she dialed Alicia's contact. "I'm sorry, the person you're calling is unavailable. Please wait for a moment before calling again. Sorry..."
Victoria hung up and muttered bewilderedly, "That's strange. What is she so busy with? Is she not even going to reply to my messages now that she has a husband?"
At that moment, she heard the sound of the kettle. She turned around and poured a cup of hot tea.
As soon as she returned, a familiar ringtone rang. She bent over and grabbed her phone. Thinking that it was Alicia, she grumbled, "Oh, so you know how to return phone calls? Let's see how I'll deal with you!"
However, her smile froze as she looked at her phone. This number... It was Anthony.
Victoria paused for a few seconds before she answered the call. "Hello, who is this?"
The next second, she heard a familiar voice. "Rhea, it's me..." Upon hearing his voice, Victoria couldn't help wondering, hadn't she already deleted his contact?
Anthony sounded gloomy. After a short silence, she answered coldly.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Rhea, can we meet up? I have something to tell you."
"Sorry, I can't. If you have something to say, just say it over the phone. If not, I'm going to hang up!" Victoria became emotional again. Her clenched fingers started to turn blue.
"Rhea, she's back!"
Victoria was stunned for a few seconds. "What?"
"Trevor's true love!"
The words struck her heart deeply. Victoria seemed to have stopped breathing for a moment before she immediately hung up the phone. Everything started spinning and her mind started to buzz. She couldn't remember what happened after that. When she came back to her senses, she had already left the shop. Meanwhile, Anthony was blocking her way.
When Victoria couldn't manage to get past him, she was getting annoyed.
"If you're here to talk bad about him or his past, I'm sorry but I'm not interested! You don't have to waste your breath. I don't want to hear it!"
Victoria became frantic as she tried to dodge him.
"Rhea!"
Anthony grabbed Victoria's wrist and held it tightly.
"How long are you going to lie to yourself? You know that he is not a good person! You didn't even spare a glance at people like him in the past. Why do you want to get yourself into this?"
Shouldn't she hate him? Why did she become his bride? Not only that, but she had also seemed to have fallen in love with him...
Victoria let out a dry laugh.
She found it ridiculous too. She looked at his grip on her wrist and replied curtly, "Women love bad boys. Don't you know that? Why, do you want to act like a hero and save me again?"
Victoria wrenched herself free from his grasp.
"Don't pretend to be a saint in front of me! Haven't I become who I am today because of you? Don't look at me so pitifully. Why does it matter if Trevor is a good or a bad person in the eyes of the world? What were you doing when he hurt me? You only watched! You watched and
gave up on me! Are you here to rescue me because you think it's unfortunate for me to be with him? Anthony, can you not do this? You hurt people who are devoted and kind to you! You treat others well, but yet they are not necessarily grateful to you!"
She was in that exact situation now. She didn't want to be saved! He didn't know anything about her relationship with Trevor.
Victoria gritted her teeth. Even if she didn't want to recall her past, the suppressed memories surged uncontrollably the moment she saw him.
"We have our own lives now. Let's not disturb each other!"
"Rhea, is this how you see me? I..." In truth, there was nothing more painful to Anthony than hurting her so deeply.
He clenched his fists. The shame on Anthony's face was as heavy as the burden he carried. At that time, no matter what he chose, he was afraid that he would be wrong. Amelia could have died back then if he had given away her whereabouts!
"Do you know how Trevor is better than you?"
Anthony's thoughts were interrupted. He shifted his gaze back to her upon hearing the question.
"He is bad, but he protects his
people! This is the difference between the two of you! Perhaps your righteousness will go down in history in the eyes of the world. But in my eyes, he is someone I depend on. I'm not as great as you. I can't sacrifice my happiness for others. I'm a selfish woman! I just want to live my own life. I can't care for others. If people don't hurt me, I don't hurt them. Anthony, there are tens of millions of lives in the world. Many people are connected to you. Can you care for all of them?"
Victoria sighed and looked at him helplessly.
"Since nothing can be changed, don't meddle in my life..."
