Chapter 1738
For a long time, everyone did not move. They looked at Victoria on the ground and did not know whether she was laughing or crying. Even Trevor just stood beside her and did not touch her.
It was not until the mournful wails turned into hushed sobs that Trevor squatted down and reached out his hand to her. Victoria put one hand on his. Trevor held her hand with one hand and wrapped his other hand around her waist. Only then did he pull her up from the ground.
Her eyes were red from crying. She had obviously lost it. She got up and threw herself into his arms. "I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please don't be mad at me..."
"Sill girl. How could I ever blame you?"
Wiping away the tears on her face, Trevor kissed her on the forehead heavily. "Don't cry, it's okay!"
Everyone was still stunned. Even Carson had forgotten to react. When he looked at them, he quickly said to the staff, "All right. This is none of your guys' business. Those of you who are still on shift, get back to work. The rest of you, get off work and go home!"
Then the two went to Carson's office. Trevor simplified the general situation and explained it to Carson but he didn't go into much detail. He said that while investigating his cousin's background, a mistake was made, leading to a series of misunderstandings with Victoria.
When they returned home, their moods were completely different. Victoria's face was full of joy.
Her parents were still her parents!
Her husband was still her husband!
She was pregnant!
Every thought she had made her overjoyed.
When she entered the room, the room had been cleaned up. The moment she sat down on the couch, she realized she was hungry. She picked up the apple on the table and began to eat it. Seeing that she had finally cheered up and was happy again, Trevor couldn't help but sigh.
This farce almost ruined their marriage!
Suddenly, he recalled the family he saw the other day that had incompatible blood types. Because of this, a beautiful family with two innocent children was almost ruined. Thinking of the past hardships, Trevor's hatred grew so strongly that his murderous intent surged.
Without exception, Victoria's heart was filled with hatred. As soon as Trevor sat on the sofa, she bit the apple between her teeth and leaned over. She reached out and grabbed one of his fingers.
"Hubby..."
Selena was so hateful that she came up with such a sinister plan, which almost drove her into depression. One could only imagine the hell she had been living in for the past six months.
"What is it?"
"I know it was my fault for being stupid, but she's so detestable! If she knew that she didn't succeed this time, who knows what other tricks she might try to pull in the future? I wish I could tear her apart right now. I can't let this go so easily."
She gritted her teeth. For the first time, there was a clear hatred and reluctance heard in Victoria's voice. At the same time, her hand subconsciously moved to her stomach. She didn't know whether to hold onto this grudge or just let it go for the sake of the child.
The moment her voice lowered and her brows furrowed, Trevor could tell that she was getting soft-hearted. Karma would reward the good and punish the bad. Overly kind people were destined to be blessed but they could not avoid pain. Just like Victoria who got lucky each time but barely.
Feeling distressed, Trevor hugged her.
"It was my fault for not handling things properly this time. To be honest, if we were strong enough, we would have been able to withstand anything. Vicky, when it comes to relationships, we are just human."
When it came to love, he was weak too. He struggled to be rational. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done all those things to hurt you."
At her weakest, he had failed to support her. Instead, he added salt to the wound! Thinking about it now, the person he wanted to tear apart the most was himself. At this time, Victoria seemed to have thought of something too. She grabbed his hand and bit down on it twice. After that, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I wasn't on my best behavior either. It's all in the past now. I will try to forget it."
Thinking that he might have an accident with another woman, Victoria's body instinctively moved away. Although she knew that it was she who pushed him out and hoped so desperately that he would satisfy his needs outside.
Now that everything had gone back to before, she thought she could accept it. Unexpectedly, she seemed to care even more now. "Don't you dare do it again. If you even try, I will never forgive you."
One or two times was the same. No matter how much she loved him, there was a limit.
Trevor noticed her slight movement and realized something. He reached out his hand and pulled her back again. "I didn't do anything to hurt you! Those women... I didn't touch them. I just wanted to test you!"
At this moment, Trevor was really grateful to Wyatt from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't woken him out of it, he might have really made a mistake!
Trevor realized that the thing he couldn't stand the most was if the woman he loved did not have him in her eyes. He couldn't be the bigger person. He could never watch idly as she threw herself into someone else's arms.
In an instant, Victoria's eyes flooded with warmth and light.
Looking at each other with a smile, she snuggled into Trevor's embrace again. "Hubby, I'm so happy right now." She felt like she was dreaming.
"Am I dreaming?"
Looking up, Victoria raised her hand and pinched Trevor's cheek hard. She muttered, "Does it hurt?"
"Ouch... What do you think?" Trevor suddenly felt a pain on his face.
Before he could scold her, she giggled and said, "Haha, it's true! Hehe."
"You're such an idiot."
After poking her in the forehead, Trevor couldn't help rolling his eyes. She was
quite smart this time for thinking of pinching him.
"Hubby, I can't believe we have a baby on the way."
No words could accurately describe how Victoria was feeling right now. Fortunately, she had not impulsively gone to her parents to confirm the matter nor cause a scene. Otherwise, everything would have fatten to chaos and they would have all suffered in vain. There were good and bad parts to it. Victoria regretted that she never told Trevor earlier. She wasted so much time. The situation could have ended with her carrying this regret for the rest of her life.
Her gaze darkened as she said, "If she finds out, will she try to plot more schemes
against us? After all, she's jealous of us."
Considering how she came up with such an evil plot, what else was she not capable of? It was incredible that she even had the time to plot against them all day. Thinking of Selena, Victoria felt her head hurt.
Were they doomed to have this extra weight drag them down all their lives?
It was not worth it to bleed for someone like her.
"For now, I have no idea how she did all this. However, she's not the only one who knows how to play the game."
Looking up, Victoria was somewhat confused. "What do you mean?"
"She'll pay for what she did! I'll arrange a lesson for her that will make her wish she was dead. Someone will settle her on our behalf."
Trevor leaned into her ear.
"You don't need to worry about these things! Just focus on the baby. Listen to me and act like you don't know anything. If she wants us to think we're related so badly, then we'll let her have the satisfaction for a few more days."
That way, at least she wouldn't try anything new. Trevor wanted to see if she could still be happy. Since she was capable of making up such a destructive lie, why could he not play along? She had been living easy for too long and now she was courting death.
"Okay."
Because of her pregnancy and the recent stress, she had suffered a lot and had not been able to rest well Right now, Victoria had finally gotten what she wanted. The only thought in her mind right now was that as
long as her baby was fine, everything else could be dealt with later.
Meanwhile, at the bedroom of the Johnson residence, someone was on a call.
Wyatt could not contain his rage. "Why is there still no news? Are they all
useless? How can a living person just disappear?"
"What about surveillance cameras? GPS? Call logs? Browser history? Have you
gone through all that?"
It had been days, how could there not be a trace of anything?
"Wyatt..."
Facing his temper, Seth shook his head helplessly.
"It's not that we don't work hard, but you know Miss Castle's skills! We can't do anything to track her. We tried calling her but she has probably
changed her number. Her mobile
phone also has a security system set up to prevent tracking. There's nothing we can do. All information we got from the data company was just a bunch of scrambled codes. As for surveillance, sometimes we might see someone that looks like her, but we don't have enough footage to track where she goes next. Everyone has been overworked
to their limit lately!"
It was pointless to waste money and labor. In fact, Seth wanted to advise him to give up. However, when the words reached his lips, he couldn't bring himself to say them. After all, he was well aware of Wyatt's thoughts about Waverly and the guilt that Wyatt felt."
"Wyatt, Miss Castle must have discovered something and wants to hide from us!" The implication was that it was time to end this. No matter how much they tried, it
was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
How could he not know?noveldrama
Wyatt raised his glass and downed it in one gulp. His gaze fell on the phone on
the table that was covered in fingerprints. His voice was obviously filled with dejection. "Gather more men. I just want to know where she went. I won't bother her..."
Wyatt felt like his heart had been torn apart somehow. Knowing that she was free as a bird, while he was trapped in this cage made him ache in pain. If he couldn't
even find her, what was the point of life? It was no different than if she had drowned.
"Wyatt, if that's the case, I think we should just wait and see what happens."
"Do you have any other ideas? Don't tell me you want me to wait in front of the Castle residence? What if she never shows up?" She could have left through a secret passage or perhaps met up with other relatives. That would mean that he would never meet her again in this life.
"I just received news that Cecilia is getting engaged soon. Supposedly in Casterwich City..."
