Victoria realized that her life became far better after she left Alaric.

When she was married, she couldn’t even meet up with her best friends at all.

However, after the divorce, Summer and Fiona would always visit her and they

would lay on the same bed to look at the stars as they gossiped about things like

children without a care in the world.

On the other hand, Ethan helped carry the luggage upstairs. It was a double–story

house with a balcony filled with a variety of plants.

Therefore, the house had a screen window installed to prevent bugs from flying in,

and repellent packs were placed on the windowsill as well.

Victoria fell in love with the environment as soon as she stepped into the house.

At first, she was worried that she needed to spend time looking at houses when she

returned, but Fiona had settled it for her in a jiffy.

Besides that, she didn’t even need to worry about cleaning the house because Fiona This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

had hired professional help to clean the house. She even went as far as to place

scented candles and plants that she loved around the house.

Ethan secretly took a glance at Victoria’s expression before quietly sending a

message to Bane when he exited the room.

“Mr. Morison, I’ve got something to report. The house you prepared for Miss Selwyn

isn’t needed anymore. We bumped into her friend at the airport, who has already

rented a house for her.”

After he sent the reply, Ethan couldn’t help but regard the house once more. Not

bad. She’s more thoughtful than Mr. Morison.

The house Bane prepared was free of any procedures that Victoria needed to

handle since it was already under her name. He even hired people to check the

environment and location.

Unfortunately, he lost to Fiona’s creativity.

Fortunately, Bane lost to a woman. If it was a male friend, Bane’s position would be

at risk.

Soon, Bane replied to him, “Fiona Carza?”

Ethan answered, “Yes, Mr. Morison.”

As expected, Bane’s reply was calm, “Then, that’s alright. Fiona’s pretty detail

oriented. Make sure to check whether there’s anything else you can help with.”

“Sure, Mr. Morison.” Ethan kept his phone away and helped arrange Victoria’s things.

Once everything was about done, Fiona told Ethan, ‘Mr. Hudson, did you come over

on Bane’s orders? I heard that you took care of the three of them. Thank. you for your

hard work.”

He hastily waved his hands when he heard that. “Oh, no. It’s in my job description.

There’s no need for thanks.”

That was an overstatement. The three of them didn’t need his care at all since

“You’re too nice, Mr. Hudson. You’ve done more than you should. Anyhow, you’re.

probably tired from the long journey. Why don’t you get some rest? Everything is

more or less settled.”

He instinctively looked toward Victoria with a questioning look in his eyes.

Victoria nodded when she noticed his questioning gaze. “You should rest, Mr.

Hudson.”

After some thought, Ethan nodded as well. “Alright. The auction is tomorrow night.

Do remember to prepare for that, Miss Selwyn. Please call me if you need anything

else. I’ll come right over.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Then, Victoria asked the children to bid goodbye to Ethan.

After he left, Fiona and Victoria went to the balcony upstairs and made a pot of

jasmine tea.

The rich floral sweet smell of the jasmine flower accompanied by billowing heat.

comforted them.

Fiona, who once was bibulous, was drinking jasmine tea now.

Victoria couldn’t help but tease her, “I thought you’d whip out a few bottles of

alcohol and told me to drink that here.”

Fiona froze slightly before laughing, “Alcohol? That’s not appropriate right now. Both

its smell and appearance will spoil the current atmosphere. Besides, I quit drinking.

I’m never gonna drink again.”

“Oh? You’re turning over a new leaf? You were the best drinker among us.”

Fiona became forlorn when that was brought up. “Forget that. I’ve got gastritis now.

The doctor said I can’t drink anymore. I still want to live. Besides, jasmine tea smells

great.”

Victoria was suddenly worried when she heard Fiona was sick. “How did that

happen?”

Fiona pursed her lips as if she didn’t want to tell her. After a while, she finally came

clean. “Actually, I’ve got my eyes on a man.'”

Victoria gave a quizzical look.

“I met him in a bar. He’s absolutely exquisite. With that face of his, I feel like my life

will be complete if I married him.”

“Wait. What does this have to do with your gastritis?”

“Big time.” Fiona sighed before saying dejectedly, “He’s a good drinker. I can’t beat

him, but I wanted him to notice me. So, I practiced drinking. That’s why…”

Victoria couldn’t help but feel utterly exasperated as she didn’t expect that Fional

would do things harmful to herself for a man. “Are you dumb?” She flicked Fiona’s

forehead. “Who would practice drinking for a man they like?”

Fiona let out a small laugh at that. “You probably think I’m crazy, Victoria, but I really,

really like him. I knew he was the man for me from the moment I looked at him.”

Fiona’s eyes turned dreamy when she talked about him. Then, she propped her chin

on her hand before recounting. “The first time I saw him, he was sitting there with

sharp eyes. The downlight illuminated his features perfectly. I fell in love with him.

immediately.”

Even though Victoria didn’t know what that man looked like, she could guess how

handsome he looked based on Fiona’s description.

Fiona had seen many men during her time in foreign countries. For her to still praise

him like so, it meant that he was beyond gorgeous.

“Even if you like his looks, what about his personality? Family background? Do you

know what his family is like?”

“I don’t know. That’s why I’m trying to get closer to him, but he’s so indifferent. I can’t

get to know him at all.”

Victoria was slightly surprised by that revelation since Fiona’s beauty and

competènce would make men fall on their knees for her. “Don’t tell me the reason

you’re so stuck on him is because he’s ignoring you?”

“No!” Fiona gritted her teeth. “If he’s willing to talk to me, I will treat him the nicest |

Here. Take a look.”
