President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Chapter 82: Giving her a touch of warmth



Jonathan was in a state of heatstroke and there was no way Victoria was going to get serious with him, so she nodded anyway, “Uncle, I know.”

Jonathan smiled and felt very sorry for her again.

“This time your aunt made salami. You brought back a few extra bunches, she also pickled sauerkraut. I remember you used to love this when you were a student.”

“Okay.”

Victoria stopped talking and drove him to the hospital.

During that time Ellie called and asked why they hadn’t gone back yet.

“Uncle had a heat stroke. I sent him to the hospital. I don’t think I’ll be able to go back until later.”

Ellie was instantly anxious, “In which hospital? I’ll be right over.”

After Victoria finished saying the name of the hospital and hung up, someone else called.

“Miss Blackwell, hello. The condo you listed has been purchased but you need to come onsite to sign a contract with the buyer. I was wondering when you are available?”

The condo actually sold?

Victoria’s heart was settled, and it was good that it was sold so that there was money for the down payment on that house, too.

“Okay, I’m still in the county, so I can sign when I get back.”

“Well, I heard Miss Blackwell that you’re in a hurry to get this money because there’s still the bank paperwork to go through, and it’s estimated that it’s going to take about half a month, and the sooner you sign it, the sooner the money will be in your hands.”

“I got it, thanks.”

Having settled one thing, Victoria was relieved that at least Edward wouldn’t have to meet with Nick at Mountain Dawn when he returned.

She was just about to head back to the hospital room when she saw Jonathan open the door to the hospital room and head out.

“Tori, I’m fine now. Let’s go home, hospitalization will only be a waste of money. You can send me back, I’ll just rest at home for a few days.”

“Uncle, I’ll pay for your hospitalization. Don’t worry about the money.”

But she couldn’t resist Jonathan’s insistence after all, and after prescribing the medication, she had to send him home.

Ellie made dinner and asked Victoria to stay.

Victoria saw Alexia coming in from outside and shook her head.

“No, Auntie. I haven’t finished the painting over at Papa Bree.”

Once she heard it was about Papa Bree, Ellie wasn’t in a good position to keep her.

As she passed Alexia, she heard her grunt.

“What Papa Bree’s painting, you didn’t stay there to try to hook up with that man, did you? I heard that your husband is also quite rich, if you are fooling around behind his back, do you know the consequences?”

Actually, it was Alexia who wanted to hook up. The man was imposing and good looking, if he could be interested in her, won’t she have the authority to do whatever she wants in Hopmeadow Downs in the future?

But after going and trying several times, she was surprised that she couldn’t even get into Papa Bree.

She asked around a few times and heard that he was leaving the day after tomorrow.

Victoria knew her little mind and reminded her, “If you want to talk to him, you should at least go and study more. You haven’t even graduated from junior high school, so I guess even if you do talk to him, you won’t be able to understand what he says.”

Alexia was so angry that she was about to swear, but before she could do so, Victoria had already walked out.

Victoria got in the car and just felt a headache. Alexia had no brain, no education, low eyes and always thinking about high paying jobs.

Having never made any money up to this point, it was her aunt and uncle who had been supporting her, and after her cousin ran away, Alexia became even more reckless.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Driving back to Papa Bree, Victoria remembered that she hadn’t eaten anything since noon, and was now famished.

Papa Bree was supposed to have a restaurant, but she didn’t know exactly where it was.

Her stomach was a little queasy from hunger and she was just thinking about going out to get something when she saw Nick coming out of the archway.

Nick saw her and subconsciously frowned.

Victoria smiled at him, “Mr. Andrews, do you know where the restaurant is here?”

Her face was a little white with hunger.

“Haven’t eaten yet?”

Nick’s tone was light and Victoria nodded, her tone inevitably carrying a hint of grievance, “Forgot.”

It occurred to Nick that she said she was going to a grave, supposedly for some loved one.

“The restaurant is closed, Declan will bring something later.”

The implication was that they can eat together.

Victoria’s hand rested on the side of her stomach, her heart inexplicably touched in her heart at the sound of that.

Today, she first went to visit her mother’s grave, and then she heard her uncle say those things, so she couldn’t help but think of her father, and her mood was very low.

Little did she realize that the one person who would give her an ounce of warmth at this point in her life would be Nick, even though it might just be a small, insignificant thing to him.

“Thanks.” The thank you was beyond sincere.

Nick froze, his eyes falling to her face.

Her skin was already on the pale side, and because of the pain, she was slightly unnaturally white at the moment, her shell teeth lightly biting her lip, fragile and pitiful.

He had seen her sarcastic and forceful, also seen her full of bottom of the barrel argument in school, more also seen her charming demeanor during emotional moments…

But this was the first time he had seen this aggravated look at the moment.
