Chapter 215
Fiona’s expression changed.

I was going to tell Victoria about Mr. Cadogan wanting to come and apologize, but…
After hearing what Bane said, Fiona felt she didn’t need to tell Victoria about it any
longer.
Thus, she simply chuckled awkwardly and stammered, “I–It’s nothing.”
Victoria looked puzzled. “But you called me up when you came back and said you
had something to tell me, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Fiona was a little flustered as she explained, “I was emotional at
the time and wanted to talk to you about something, but I don’t need to anymore.”
Victoria raised her eyebrows. “Is that so?”
Fiona fervently nodded.
Despite their relatively short acquaintance, Victoria still thought she understood
Fiona fairly well. She can’t hide it when she’s lying. Her eyes will flicker around, and
she will bob her head up and down like a chicken every time she does.

Thus, Victoria could immediately tell that Fiona was lying. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She probably doesn’t want to tell me about it anymore. Victoria sighed to herself
and decided not to press any further.
“I see. I’ll drop it then.”
Fiona nodded away again.
Victoria tied the apron around her and got ready to slice up the meat. Fiona felt bad
and quickly offered, “I’ll help you.”
Ordinarily, Victoria would readily hand over the knife. This time, she knew what she
was going to say next, so she didn’t hand the knife over. “I’ll do it.”
“Okay then.” Fiona stood beside Victoria and watched a little dispiritedly.
Victoria’s eyes flickered with thought. After mentally preparing what she was going
to say, she piped up, “How did it go? Did you get his number?”
As soon as Victoria mentioned this, Fiona recalled what she told Bane and her
expression soured a little.
The look on Fiona’s face made Victoria assume that she had failed.

Victoria secretly sighed in relief. In her opinion, this outcome wasn’t all that bad. At
least, she would not have to put in any more effort later on.

With that thought in mind, Victoria continued quietly, “This morning, I told you I
wanted to talk to you about something, right? It actually has something to do with
him. You-”
“Victoria!” Fiona’s head shot up and she cried out Victoria’s name.
“You went out with Bane today, right? He’s so good to you. He prepared a house for
you to stay in now that you’re back in the country, right? Wouldn’t it affect your
relationship if I keep you here?”

Victoria stopped cutting the meat. She turned around and eyed Fiona in silence.
Fiona sheepishly averted her eyes and chuckled awkwardly. “D–Don’t take it the
wrong way. I’m just worried that I might end up affecting your future, so I just
wanted to create more opportunities for you two. I’m also afraid that Bane might.
one day say that I’m the reason why he failed to get together with you, so that’s
why…”
Her voice got progressively softer until she was speaking barely above a mumble.

There were no fools here.

Naturally, Victoria understood what Fiona’s words implied. She stared at Fiona in
silence for quite some time before she finally said, “You can wait outside. The food
will be ready soon.”
Fiona didn’t know what to say, so she turned around and shuffled out of the kitchen.
During dinner, the two children sensed that something was amiss. Although Nicole
usually failed to pick up such things, she too noticed the awkward silence.
The children exchanged glances and quietly tucked into their food.
Once they were done, they set their cutlery down in unison. “We’ve finished,
Mommy, Miss Fiona.”
Fiona forced herself to smile weakly at the children.
Victoria looked at them and stroked their heads. “Nathan and Nicole, you two have
been very good today. Head back to your room to rest for a while and then start
packing your things, okay?”
Fiona paled and bit her lip.

The two children immediately looked up at Victoria. They didn’t expect things to be
this serious.

However, at the very next moment, Victoria smiled and said, “You’ll be starting at
your new school tomorrow.”
At this, the children relaxed and left to pack their things.
Once they were gone, Victoria carried on finishing her food.
Meanwhile, Fiona looked despondent ever since she heard Victoria telling the
children to pack their things. She only snapped out of her reverie when Victoria
stood up to clear the table, and she quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, Victoria.”
Victoria gave her a faint smile. “It’s fine. You were just trying to be considerate of
1. me. I’ll find the time to talk to Bane.”
Truth be told, as soon as the words came out of Fiona’s mouth, she started
regretting it. Alas, now that she heard Victoria saying she was going to talk to Bane,
she couldn’t take back her words anymore, so she simply stayed quiet.
After clearing the table, Victoria cleaned up the kitchen and threw out the trash.

pack.

They had only just moved in so there was not much for her to pack. Soon, she was
done. She then sat down on the bed and took out her phone to book a hotel.
Once the booking was made, Nathan came over.
“Mommy.”
Victoria put away her phone and smiled at him. “Have you packed your things,
Nathan?”
“Yes, Mommy.”
“Good. What about Nicole?”
“Nicole’s ready too. She’s in the room waiting for you.”
“Okay. Let’s go then.” Victoria got up and dragged her suitcase to the door.
On the way out, she ran into Fiona who came to look for her.
Fiona seemed hesitant. “Are you leaving?”

“Yeah. We’ll stay somewhere near the school tonight so that we can make it to
school on time tomorrow.”
Victoria didn’t seem angry, but that only made Fiona feel worse about it.
“I’ll give you a ride then.”
“It’s fine. That won’t be necessary. I’ve already booked us a ride.”
“Oh… Okay. Stay safe. Let me know when you get there.”
“Alright.” Victoria nudged Nathan. “Tell Nicole to come out, Nathan. We’re leaving.”
“Yes, Mommy
Victoria watched as Nathan entered the room, and once he disappeared behind the
door, she turned to Fiona and said quietly, “Fiona, I know you might not like what I’m
about to say, but as your friend, I want to remind you anyway. Before you develop
feelings for someone, you should first check and see if he’s single. Don’t get into a
situation where you’ll only end up hurting yourself. That’s all I have to say. I’ll get
going now.”
She didn’t bother to check Fiona’s reaction. She simply smiled and dragged her

suitcase over to Nathan and Nicole.

As they were leaving, the children cheerfully said their goodbyes to Fiona, who
could only wave back to them with a melancholic smile.
Thud. The door closed, and Fiona was the only one left inside the house.
All was still and silent. It was as if no one had come over in the first place.
