Chapter 98: The day after tomorrow is the day she will be exposed
A smirk appeared on Edward’s face and he patted her hand, “So, you’re willing to give Nick a baby?”
Victoria nodded, the corners of her mouth curving up, her eyes sincere, “Well, yes.”
Edward’s face was literally smiling.
“If you’re willing. Don’t worry, I like it whether it’s a boy or a girl.”
Victoria changed the topic at the right time, so as not to cause Edward too much anticipation, and when the anticipation fell through, she was afraid that it would be even more difficult for his body to bear.
She stayed with him for an hour before she left.
As she was about to get in the car, she ran into Emily.
She had large sunglasses on her face and was a little surprised to run into her here.
“Poppy, what are you doing here?”
Victoria made an excuse, “Haven’t painted in a while, came over to these parts for inspiration.”
Emily believed this reason quite simply, and then began to gossip like a little sparrow.
“Do you know that Chloe Reynolds was released from the police station? I heard that her brother personally went to the police station. This is a disgrace. Her brother, Ethan Reynolds, is not very good tempered. If you encounter him, it is best to take a detour. Of course, you can call my cousin, he will go to save you, but do not get into a conflict with him.”
Even Emily said that, so it looked like Ethan Reynolds was one tough cookie.
“Okay, thanks for the reminder.”
Emily pointed again to the mansion not far away.
“I’m going in to see my grandfather, so I won’t hang out with you, see you next time.”
Victoria nodded and sighed when she was gone.
She had a premonition that she probably wouldn’t be able to hide this identity of hers for much longer.
Edward would surely call her in for dinner when the time came, and inevitably she would have to meet everyone then.
She was just about to get in the car when she saw Emily go and come back.
“By the way, poppy. The day after tomorrow is my birthday party, it’s going to be held here, it’s going to be a big event. My grandpa said it’s going to be a big one this time. A lot of people are going to be there, why don’t you come too?”
Victoria’s heart fluttered, a bad feeling welling up inside her, and sure enough, her cell phone rang.
After pressing the answer button, Mr. Andrews’ voice came from inside.
“Tori, I just forgot to tell you, you have to come to my granddaughter Emily’s birthday party the day after tomorrow.”
The corner of Victoria’s mouth tugged, so presumably the day after tomorrow would be the day she was exposed.
She raised her hand and rubbed her brow as she hung up the phone and heard Emily continue, “Poppy, are you coming or not? I don’t invite just anyone.”
“I will come.”
“Great!”
Victoria looked at her in this elated state now, and wondered how she would feel if she knew by then that she was the cousin-in-law she claimed was unworthy of Nick.
“Ohh, my cousin’s wife should be here too. I heard my cousin has moved in with her.”
A look of disgust did appear on Emily’s face before she sighed.
“I wonder what that woman looks like.”
Victoria tugged her lips, “You’ll find out sooner or later. Go in first, don’t keep your grandfather waiting.”
After Emily left, Victoria got into the car, a little distressed, even as she wondered if she should figure out how to apologize to Nick ahead of time.
What she didn’t know was that Nick had arrived at the mansion shortly after she left.
Because the doctor just called him and said Edward wouldn’t take his medication.
In the entire Andrews Family, Nick was the only one who dared to talk him out of it, so he had to leave his job and come to the mansion.
Edward’s eyes glazed over when he saw him, “You deliberately timed it to stagger Tori, and you’re here just as Tori leaves!”
Nick was a bit wronged, he didn’t even know the woman had been here.
“Grandpa, the doctor said you won’t take your medicine?”
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Emily came out of the kitchen with a bowl of medicine.
“Yes, Grandpa was reluctant to eat it, but after meeting your wife, he’s willing to eat it now.”
In her hand she then held the dark, medicinal juice that Adward had been taking all these years without a moment’s delay.
Nick sighed in relief, thinking that the woman had some use for her.
But Adward’s next comment directly blackened his face.
“Nick, Tori said she’d be willing to give you a baby… turns out I thought she resented you and wouldn’t give it to you. Since that’s the case, you should also try hard to get the baby by the end of the year.”
Nick’s eyes were as cold as 10, 000 years of ice, of course she wanted to have children so her family could completely bound the Andrews Family.
Though she was being self-aware when she didn’t come to see him last night, he didn’t realize that she had quietly encouraged her grandfather and demanded that he have a baby.
Heh.
