Chapter 136: Thank You, Mr. Andrews
“Grandpa, Nick and I are doing well, don’t have to worry,” she said softly, handing him a cup of tea.
“Instead of worrying about this, you should be concerned about your health.”
Edward’s cheeks immediately flushed with vitality, and he could hardly control the smile that formed on his lips.
Since the young couple is so affectionate, his visit to probe seems meaningless. He happily took a sip of tea.
“Tori, if someone bothers you, you don’t need to consider a lot. If there’s anything that can’t be solved, let Nick handle it.”
Victoria didn’t want to say too much on this issue, fearing she might reveal too much, so she changed the topic to everyday matters.
An hour later, she got up to prepare soup.
“Tori, let others do this kind of thing; why do it yourself?”
“Edward, this is a promise I made to N… ick.”
Edward laughed even more heartily and then mentioned he was leaving without waiting for Nick to return.
Victoria personally escorted him to the front door. After the car drove away, she stood there in a daze.
Aggie was by her side, sighing softly.
Victoria was grateful that Aggie didn’t say anything wrong to Edward, but she understood that Aggie was more concerned about Edward’s health.
On the way back, Edward called Nick again, showering him with praises.
At that moment, Nick was in a meeting, and his brow furrowed.
Similar to the inexplicable praise from last time when he completed a significant acquisition, now Andrews Enterprise is running smoothly. Why is Grandpa suddenly so excited?
“Nick, I’ll head back now and not disturb you. But remember, don’t get too busy with work and neglect Tori’s feelings. Tori likes you; otherwise, she wouldn’t have entrusted herself to you.”
Edward finished speaking, chuckled to himself, “You’re doing well.”
Nick’s face instantly darkened. What did that woman say in front of Edward?
What does it mean to entrust herself to him?
He hadn’t even touched a single finger of hers.
But due to Edward’s condition, he just pursed his lips coldly.
After hanging up the phone, he felt a touch of irritation once again.
And on Victoria’s side, after preparing soup for Nick, she delegated the remaining matters to Aggie. She had to quickly resolve the eight million issue, and the only person who could help her now was Lena.
She arranged to meet Lena at the bar at 6 p. m., and she arrived there in the evening.
Victoria hadn’t asked anyone for help before, so she carefully considered her words.
Lena didn’t expect Victoria to ask her for money, especially eight million, and couldn’t help but complain.
“I mean, Mrs. Andrews, you really have it tough. Eight million for a broken car? Nick is so unkind. Why don’t you just be honest with him about your identity?”
“No, if I do that, he will only think I approached him with ulterior motives.”
Initially, she just wanted to quickly end the marriage. When she woke up in bed, she heard about the divorce agreement, thinking it would be a quick process. Taking on his bill at that time didn’t seem like a big deal.
Now, with the divorce continuously postponed, being honest had become increasingly difficult.
“Tori, it’s not that I won’t lend you the money. I just feel like you’ve been married to him for three years, and it’s a bit unfair. Plus, you haven’t asked Nick; how do you know he wouldn’t lend it to you?”
Lena was always straightforward, and she had no idea about Victoria’s guilt over their past relationship.
She directly took Victoria’s phone and sent a message to Nick.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
?Lend me eight million. 】
Victoria couldn’t stop her in time.
Unexpectedly, Nick responded quickly.
?card number. 】
Lena raised an eyebrow and copied and pasted Victoria’s account number.
In less than ten minutes, eight million appeared in the account, as if it were an illusion.
Lena returned the phone, looking puzzled. “Isn’t that a quick loan? What are you hesitating about?”
As she spoke, Nick sent another message.
?Besides, don’t disturb me and recognize your own identity. 】
Victoria took a glance at her phone and realized Lena used a private number. So, Nick knew it was his nominal wife borrowing the money.
He didn’t care about the purpose; after all, wasn’t it all about the money?
In his eyes, anything that could be solved with money was a trivial matter, especially just eight million.
With this in mind, Victoria responded gracefully.
?Thank You, Mr. Andrews】
