President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Nick nodded, and furrowed his brow again, feeling once more that this woman’s mouth was tighter than clams.

“Well,” Victoria sighed with relief, touched by his lack of deliberate trouble. “I’ll be there on time.”

After spraying the pain relief spray and easing her ankle a bit, she lowered her head, neatly arranged the medical kit, and placed it back in the hallway cabinet.

As she closed the door, she added, “Mr. Andrews, get some rest.”

Nick’s expression turned even colder, an indescribable feeling overcoming him.

He undid his tie, as if doing so would dissipate the inexplicable emotions. However, the movement of loosening the tie aggravated the pain in his palm. It was just a woman he wasn’t very familiar with; there was no need to care.

Victoria didn’t bother about Nick’s thoughts. She was eager to go to Hopmeadow Downs to handle her uncle’s affairs. What frustrated her was that Kevin wasn’t waiting for her there.

Frustrated, she felt her scalp go numb. She spent the day at Hopmeadow Downs, first comforting Ellie and saying that Alexia would be out in a few days. Then she went to the hospital, paid enough money, and waited until Jonathan’s rescue was over before dragging her tired body back to Shannon Villa in Veridian City.

But looming over her head was the eight million from Nick, which had to be repaid within two weeks. Victoria rubbed her forehead. Without enough time to rest, she saw that it was already six in the evening and quickly started stewing soup.

However, she was too tired. While cutting papaya, the knife almost cut her hand.

Aggie watched anxiously. “Victoria, tell me what soup you want, and I’ll stew it for you.”

Victoria, with eyelids drooping from exhaustion, heard this and reluctantly let go of the knife. “Papaya and pork rib soup, thank you.”

Although she had promised Nick to stew it herself, she hadn’t rested the entire night before, had driven back alone today, and could fall asleep standing. Moreover, her aunt had cried in front of her all night, causing her head to ache. In the end, when her uncle came out of the emergency room, he cried along with everyone else.

Victoria, helpless and exhausted, decided not to mention her encounter with Kevin again.

She didn’t want them to know that their son was so indifferent to their well-being, as it would only intensify their emotions.

After stewing the soup for a full two hours, Victoria dared not sleep. Once the soup was ready, she packed it in a pink thermos and went straight to the hotel.

Seeing her like this, Aggie smiled knowingly. “Victoria, who is this for?”

“Mr. Andrews,” Victoria replied without intending to lie or hide anything.

Aggie’s face lit up with joy, thinking that the relationship between the two had finally taken a step forward.

As soon as Victoria left, Aggie couldn’t resist calling Edward, informing him that Victoria had delivered soup to Mr. Andrews. Edward’s face beamed with joy; it seemed that the prospect of becoming a great-grandfather was just around the corner. He happily finished all the medicine he had for the day.

“Nick finally came to his senses. I knew that boy, hm, anyone who meets Tori would like her.”

Meanwhile, Victoria had arrived at the hotel. As soon as she entered the opulent lobby, she spotted familiar faces-Elda and Martinez. Elda’s hand was hooked around Martinez’s arm.

Victoria wanted to pretend she hadn’t seen them, but fate had other plans. Unable to ignore each other, the situation became awkward.

Martinez, focused on Elda, hadn’t noticed Victoria yet. He held Elda close, making his intentions clear. Their relationship seemed far from normal.

Elda, upon seeing Victoria, felt her pupils contract. She attempted to push Martinez away, but he got even closer.

“We’ve slept together, and now you’re pretending? Don’t want to cooperate with me anymore?” Martinez taunted.

Elda felt humiliated, especially with Victoria present, making the situation even more awkward. Victoria chuckled disdainfully , pressed the elevator button, and chose not to intervene.

She had collaborated with Martinez for three years, thinking he was different from others. It turned out he was just good at hiding. Elda probably already knew about the falling out between her and Martinez, so she seized the opportunity to get closer to him.

Elda hoped that by cozying up to Martinez, she could influence him against working with Victoria from now on. Perhaps, he might even collaborate with other renovation teams to boycott Victoria’s projects.

Originally, Elda just wanted to win over Martinez behind Victoria’s back, but she didn’t expect Victoria to catch them in the act.
