President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Victoria lowered her eyes, not wanting to have these unnecessary arguments.

These days when she was fulfilling her contract with Nick, all she wanted to do was to smooth things over at the Andrews Family and just show up in Edward’s presence once in a while, and as for everyone else, not to clash if she could help it.

And Elizabeth cared about her son. If Victoria argued with her more, she would just grab her more and more.

So the next thing, even with Elizabeth’s many nit-picking around the house, Victoria just obediently obliged without making a retort.

Until Elizabeth came upstairs and saw the bed in the master bedroom and frowned hard, “If Nick moves in, he’ll have the master bedroom. You’ll have the guest bedroom, and don’t expect anything to develop with him in the meantime, and don’t forget, you’ll have to move out of here as soon as Edward’s better.”

Only when she was done picking at it, she looked over at Victoria, who had been following her silently from the start, and frowned.

“Did you hear what I said?”

Victoria nodded, “I see, Mrs. Andrews. Anything else to note?”

Elizabeth had another blockage in her chest, how could it be that every time she confronted Victoria, it left her speechless?

The pent-up frustration of having nowhere to vent her frustration suddenly took away her interest in continuing to nitpick as well, only for her to instruct Aggie Dorota on a few things before she left, especially to be careful and meticulous over Nick’s food.

Aggie Dorota had to nod her head in agreement.

When Elizabeth was gone, Aggie Dorota looked at Victoria with some difficulty.

“Do we really have to send Gummy away?”

“Aggie, I remember, isn’t there a big empty room at the back of this cottage? If Nick comes over, just put Gummy in there for now. Gummy is too active, and I’m worried that giving him to my friend will cause her trouble.”

Aggie Dorota was relieved, she too loved Gummy and had become attached after caring for him for so long.

“Okay, then I’ll put Gummy’s toys in that room first now.”

Victoria nodded, Elizabeth’s tossing and turning had put her in a bit of a bad mood.

And she didn’t want to share a house with Nick at all, so it looked like she’d have to find a new one soon.

She called Lena about looking for an apartment and naturally talked about the burglary where she lived.

Lena always felt that it wasn’t safe for her to rent a room out on her own and thought, “Why don’t you come over and stay with me?”

Victoria raised an eyebrow, “Stay with you and listen to what you and James Nate do at night?”

“…”

Lena choked on that, “Geez, if you’re staying with me, then I’ll tell him not to come over and I’ll deliver myself to him, okay?” She had always spoken so unashamedly, and Victoria laughed so hard and stopped teasing her further.

“No, just keep an eye out for an apartment for me, if there’s something suitable I’ll move there right away. I’ve already listed this apartment for sale online.”

Having been burglarized once meant that it wasn’t safe, and this time she definitely wanted to find a place with a higher level of security so that she wouldn’t always have to be on her toes.

“Okay, then I’ll keep an eye out for you.”

Victoria hung up the phone and saw that Gummy was still bouncing around her feet, wagging his tail and pulling at her legs, unaware that he was being disliked.

Lena moved quickly and gave her a number of listings the next day and had a professional real estate agent pick her up to show them.

Victoria made an appointment with the agent for eleven o’clock noon and played with Gummy for a little while longer before going out.

“Miss Blackwell, this is a quiet location and a mix of townhouses and villas with a low plot ratio and a nice environment, perfect for a young girl like you.”

Victoria took one look at the developer and knew that this place wasn’t cheap. The valuation had to be ten million dollars, and it was a townhouse, the villa would be even more expensive.

“There are currently two townhomes for sale here, one for $8. 4 million and one for $9 million, both facing different directions. Would Miss Blackwell like to come with me and take a look?”

Victoria’s heart ached just hearing that price.

She asked Lena to find her a house with a higher level of security, and didn’t realize she had such high standards straight away.

Her little condo sold for just over two million dollars, the prices here must be at least five times more expensive including taxes.

All these years she never took the initiative to ask her family for money, and after working for the past few years, even though she had some savings in her bank card, it was still a bit of a struggle to buy an eight or nine million dollar house.

But if she sold her condo, she could put a down payment on it when the money came in.

She was wrestling with the question of a down payment when she saw another agent leading a couple along.

Surprisingly, it was Cynthia and Daniel.

They hadn’t spotted Victoria at first, only to hear Cynthia say, “Gavin wants a villa, and there just happens to be one in here priced at thirty million dollars, and he’s got his eye on it, so I’ll show you how it’s done.”

Daniel’s face was full of smiles, “Since he likes it, buy it, what about Linda? If her brother buys a set, doesn’t Linda have to have one as well? She’s grown up now, so I guess she has the same idea as other kids, wanting to live alone.”

Cynthia glared at him, “I can’t afford to have her out here alone, it’s not safe.”

Daniel nodded, “That’s right, when a girl lives outside, who knows what she’ll encounter, and Linda’s health is not good, it’s safer to keep her around.”
