Chapter 694
That year's New Year's Eve party was held at Christian's house, who was the eldest son of the Clements family. Although Victoria knew that her parents-in-law and Alicia would be there, she was still very uncomfortable as she was still alone. She felt a little stuffy throughout the journey to the
venue.
When the car turned onto the main road, she still couldn't help but sent a text message to Trevor.
"Today is New Year's Eve!!!" Victoria wrote.
The sentence was followed by three exclamation marks!
After sending the text message, her heart still couldn't help butthumped wildly.
She waited for a long time but there was still no response. The cell phone was as silent as before. No new notifications popped up on the screen!
Victoria was so angry that she rolled her eyes. B*stard! B*stard! He didn't even bother to text her! She cursed in her heart. She already took the initiative to text him, why couldn't he reply?
"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!" Victoria typed.
Victoria was poking the screen and typed a line of words. In the end, she deleted them one by one. It was a special day and she couldn't allow herself to do that!
She sighed and directly turned off the cell phone.
She managed to calm down for a brief moment as she looked at the view outside the window. She then turned on her cell phone again and habitually typed his name in the search box.
"The Entertainment Tycoon Was Extraordinarily Busy. He's Been Going For One Honeymoon After Another."
"It Wasn't Easy To Be His Wife As Master Trevor Will Always Look For New Lovers Thousands Of Miles Away!"
"A Husband Was Holding The Hand Of A Mistress. How Can His Wife Be So Calm Or Had They Already Been Divorced?"
The three consecutive news were accompanied by the same photo. Trevor was holding a woman and running fast in the night. As she looked at the photo, it seemed that he was going back to a residential area. The surrounding was shops and shining lights.
Was Trevor in Korea again?
Was that the cousin that Trevor was talking about? Was the so-called business trip he'd mentioned those days and the fact that he disappeared actually to be together with that woman?
Cousin? Cousin! Victoria wondered how many close cousins Trevor had!
Only an idiot like her would believe his words!
It was clear that they were a couple in the photo! Was Trevor really that busy? Was he so busy that he didn't even have time to reply to her text messages?
As she tightly held the cell phone, Victoria's eyes were filled with bitterness. Why couldn't they hold the news for a few more days? Why couldn't they wait until the New Year was over and until her parents left...Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
After she turned off the cell phone, she suddenly felt empty-hearted. There was even a faint feeling of disgust.
She closed her eyes and once again felt a strong sense of revulsion from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, the memories of the previous gossips came to her mind.
Was he only had each of his women for only a month? Did he get sick of them in such a short period?
If that was the case, why did she have to be so stubborn back then?
It was difficult to say whether it was regret or annoyance. The car had already slowed down and stopped. "Madam Victoria..." The driver said.
All of a sudden, she came to her senses and adjusted her mind. Victoria then picked up her handbag and got off the car with a smile.
As it was a family reunion dinner, the lunch at noon was filled with people from the Clements family. The group of people sat in twos and threes in the living room. Caroline, who was alone, went and accompanied Victoria. Although she was smiling, she was actually feeling unhappy.
After chatting idly for a while, Mrs. Clements once again changed the topic of conversation. "Vicki, where's Trevor? The meal is about to begin. Why haven't we seen him yet?" She asked.
Victoria forced a smile and said, "Grandma, he's on a business trip, and he said that he's currently heading back. He's probably on his way!" "Why didn't he plan it sooner? Call and remind him again! What's going on? It's so rare for us to have a family reunion. How can he not be here? By the way, where's Mason? Why isn't he here?" Mrs. Clements asked.
At that moment, Penny put down the teacup in her hand and said.
"Mom, Mason might be late. People who are slow need to start early. He's now leaving home early and returning late every day. He's trying to learn from the elders! We don't have to wait for him!" Penny said.
"Great! Great! It's good that he's self-motivated!" Mrs. Clements said.
Victoria simply pretended to tap on her cell phone. As soon as Mrs. Clements finished her words, she looked at Victoria and asked, "Vicki, have you called him?"
"What?" Victoria raised her eyes and said. Upon seeing that she could no longer make an excuse for it, she slowly stood up and said, "Grandma, I'm going to go outside and call him now!"
Although she walked out, she was very unwilling to do so in her heart.
As they passed each other, Alicia immediately caught the disappointment and prevarication in her eyes. It was like seeing herself as she was once forced by her mother.
Alicia's lips twitched, but she didn't say a word.
She wandered around outside. Victoria was very upset yet she still picked up the cell phone and dialed Trevor's number. As she was anxious and didn't know what to say, the other end of the phone poured cold water on her.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please call again later. Sorry..." The recording came from the other end of the phone. Victoria was pulling a wry face as she raised the corners of her mouth. Her lips were stained with deep bitterness. There was nothing more miserable than being alone on such a day of reunion.
If Victoria wasn't married, she should've been at home to accompany her parents for this reunion meal and they would definitely be laughing while cheering along. However, she was currently upset by him.
Nheless, she couldn't tell them that she couldn't get through. She was also afraid that her mood swing would ruin the atmosphere. Victoria pretended to scroll through her cell phone and momentarily stood outside the door.
Just as she was about to turn around, a sugared hawthorn was placed in front of her. "It's sweet and sour!" Alicia said.
Upon looking at her, Alicia gestured her hand once more. "You don't want me to hand you a handkerchief, do you?" Alicia asked.
"Did you sense it?" Victoria asked.
As she took over the toothpick from her hand, Victoria took a bite of the sugared hawthorn. All of a sudden, she felt that her teeth were going to corrode from the sourness. At that moment, Alicia took out a piece of tissue below the plate and handed it over.
"It's not that I sensed it. That's just how I've come through!" Alicia said.
They looked at each other as Alicia smiled.
"As much as I love the fact that we can become sisters-in-law and enjoy the happy family I have now, we're still best friends! Vicki, you got married so fast. How could I not see something fishy happening?" Alicia said.
Alicia gestured to her as she said that. Both of them walked along one side of the secluded walkway.
"Vicki, you used to be very bright and beautiful, like a balloon that could fly in air at any moment. In fact, when I see you again, I felt that you've been through a lot and were different from the past! No one knows this kind of feeling better than me. Just like the great change in my family, I experienced the feeling of suddenly falling from heaven to hell Although the reason for our 'great change' may be different, I figured that it might be something that you had never thought of or couldn't accept in life... I understand this kind of sudden change that comes without warning!" Alicia comforted her.
As she turned towards the side, Alicia took one of her hands and said.
"Since it can't be changed, then learn to accept it! There is a saying that goes like this. To live a life is like being r*ped. If you can't resist it, you'd better accept it! Trevor is a man who is blessed and favored by
God. You shouldn't be at too much ofa disadvantage, right?" Alicia said.
Alicia's words were intended to comfort her. However, she didn't expect that even the metaphors were accurate. At that moment, Victoria didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Uncle Gary, Aunt Amanda, and
Caroline were loving and reasonable
people. I believe that Trevor, who
grew up in that kind of family definitely isn't a bad person! This is what Frederick envies most about
him! Vicki, give each other some ne
time, you can even set a time limit. I'm sure that he'll find you different and you'll definitely discover his sparks! Don't be upset. No matter what, you're blessed. Those who are conquered by you are the rich and experienced playboys. You're the true stunner. Many women look up to you but are unable to reach you. You're the Mrs. Clements of the family!" Alicia said.
