Chapter 115: Having to Act with this Woman
Emily’s tone dropped as she said this, and the way she looked at Gummy became more affectionate.
“Gummy and that puppy really look alike, so cute. Poppy, where do you live? In the neighborhood? Can I come over to play with it later? I occasionally come to play at my family’s villa just around the corner.”
Emily finished and looked behind her, the road led to what seemed to be villas, Poppy came out of this and seemed to be from a good family.
Victoria saw what she was thinking and hastened to explain.
“I just happened to be passing by and it’s a great place to walk my dog, I don’t live here but I’m moving soon, I’ll let you know when I’m sure.”
Emily didn’t suspect a thing and continued to hold Gummy’s head and tease him.
Victoria looked behind Emily at her drawing board and realized that she was only halfway through her drawing and looked like she had only been here a short time.
“Aren’t you going to paint?”
Emily picks up her paintbrush somewhat glumly.
“Ah, I don’t have time in the evening, I have to draw it now, it’s an assignment due tomorrow.”
“Then you keep painting, I’ll take Gummy for a stroll elsewhere, wish you a happy birthday in advance, and I’ll give you your present later.”
The gift Victoria had prepared was the notes she had taken during her previous practice and had distilled them to the most crucial points.
Emily didn’t lack anything, so sending her this might be more useful to her.
“Yes, thank you, don’t buy anything too expensive.
“Don’t worry, you’ll like it.”
Victoria pulled Gummy back, not daring to keep skulking around for fear of running into anyone else.
Nearing Shannon Villa, Victoria saw Nick’s car slowly pass by, going to the exact same place as Shannon Villa.
She stiffened, almost subconsciously, and pulled Gummy along, ducking behind a large tree.
Did Nick, now that he knew who she was, now come to condemn her?
Declan saw her and couldn’t help but glance in the rearview mirror, realizing Nick was still in a meeting and wondering if he should say more.
“Mr. Andrews, just now it appears to be Poppy, who seems to be walking the dog.”
A flicker of doubt crossed Nick’s eyes, but it didn’t go any farther than that.
When the car arrived at Shannon Villa, he got out.
Aggie, who was guarding the doorway, was startled to see him return.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mr. Andrews.”
Nick rarely comes back during the day, why is he back so early today.
“Hmm.”
Nick’s brow furrowed as he entered the living room and realized the woman wasn’t home either.
How come she was not home so often?
“Where is she?”
Aggie’s attitude is respectful, she dare not say that Victoria has gone for a dog walk, so that Mr. Andrews would know that there were dogs in the Shannon Villa and might have a fit.
“She… I’ll call her now. She should be back soon.”
“Hmm.”
Nick’s tone was cold and he took a seat on the sidelines, looking like he was going to wait for Victoria to return.
Grandpa asked him to go with Victoria, so she has to ride in his car tonight.
Inwardly, he was reluctant, but he had to act with this woman because of his grandfather’s health.
