After his betrayal, I married his father

chapter 2

Liliana suppressed the hatred and anger in her heart and slowly shook her head.

"It's good that you're okay." Victoria said while sighing "How could you be so careless? You were almost hit by a car on your birthday. Where's Arthur? Didn't he accompany you?"

Just as Victoria had finished speaking, Arthur pushed the door open and entered. He first glanced at Victoria, and then frowned at Lilian and said, "How old are you now? You actually went and lay down on the road? Is it just because I didn't spend your birthday with you? There should be a limit to throwing tantrums, right?"

"SHe just came back from the Hospital; her body must still be very uncomfortable. Can't you speak to him properly?" Victoria appeared somewhat angry as he looked at Arthur and said, "Before I went abroad, didn't I tell you that you must spend his birthday with her? Why weren't you with him? If you had been there, she wouldn't have almost been hit by a car, would she?"

"I wanted to spend his birthday with her, but my maternal grandfather suddenly called me over, saying there was a family meeting. My uncles didn't dare not go, and it was even more impossible for me not to go. Besides, I already told him that I'd make up for her birthday in a while. Who knew she had such a big temper that she actually went and lay down on the road."Arthur gave Liliana an impatient look. "Birthdays happen every year; what's the big deal if we miss one?"

Victoria looked at Liliana and said, "Lily, since he didn't do it on purpose, don't be angry anymore. It just so happens that my birthday is in a few days. We'll count it as both our birthdays and celebrate together, okay?"

"I'll organize it for you. Consider it my compensation; I'll throw a lively party for you and invite other friends to celebrate your birthdays." Arthur looked at Lily and said, "You should be satisfied with that, right?"

Liliana sneered in her heart, thinking that these two were working in perfect harmony; their acting was truly good. She didn't even need to concentrate; just by breathing normally, she could smell the exact same shower gel scent on both of them. These two must have just come from a Hotel together and then pretended to enter one after the other.

"I'm tired and want to rest. You guys go ahead with your business," Lily said weakly, then pretended to be exhausted, closing his eyes and lying down.

Arthur and Victoria exchanged a glance, and then Victoria stood up and said, "Then rest well. If you want to eat anything, just tell me, and I'll make it for you."

After she finished speaking, seeing that Lily seemed to be asleep and didn't respond, she exchanged another glance with Arthur, and then the two of them walked out together.

Arthur didn't leave immediately; instead, he went to Victoria's room.

After entering the room, Victoria said with a look of guilt, "Lily and I grew up together; I know her personality best. Her temper comes and goes quickly. Even if she's angry, she usually gets over it soon. The more silent she is, the more it shows she's truly heartbroken. We shouldn't... we shouldn't have done this behind her back on her birthday. Since she wanted to spend her birthday alone with you, you should have fulfilled that wish."

"I don't want to be alone with her at all right now. Every time I eat alone with her, all I think about is you. The one I love now is you, not him. When love is gone, it's gone. It's because of her that we can't be together openly. I think we've already been very considerate of her feelings; we haven't done anything to let her down. I should just tell her clearly as soon as possible so we can part on good terms and still be friends in the future."

"I've tested her many times. She really loves you; it's impossible for her to easily agree to break up with you." Victoria supported her forehead and said somewhat helplessly, "After all, we were the ones who wronged her first. Let's find a way to minimize the harm this does to her."

"We are just dating, not married. Even if we were married, we could still divorce if the feelings were gone. Now I want to break up with her—could it be that if she doesn't agree, we can't break up?" Arthur said with a mix of anger and helplessness, "Can't you also care about my feelings? And your own feelings—can't you be a little selfish and stop being so overly kind and considering everyone else?"

"I of course care about your feelings, but right now..." Victoria held Arthur's hand and leaned on his shoulder. "Now is not the most suitable time for you to bring up the breakup. Let's wait a bit longer and talk about it after some time has passed."

"I can't wait. I must clear things up with her as soon as possible." Arthur said with a stern and serious face, "I don't want to keep sneaking around with you anymore. I want everyone to know that the one I love is you."

"But... even if you break up with Liliana now, we can't be together publicly right away. Otherwise, with her temper, who knows what she might do." Victoria looked at Arthur with a pleading gaze and said, "Just for my sake, wait at least another year or two before bringing up the breakup. Then, when I'm almost ready to graduate, we can be together publicly. By then, her feelings for you will surely have faded, and she'll be able to accept us being together more quickly without feeling the hurt of betrayal. This would be better for everyone, wouldn't it?”

After they gazed at each other for a while, he held him tightly and said helplessly, "You really know how to torture me. You know that I would do anything for you."

"Thank you." Victoria cupped Arthur's face and kissed him.

After kissing for a while, the two began to take off each other's clothes.
