President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Nick heard a familiar voice and looked up to see Victoria, who had stepped in front of him.

It was then that he glanced at the number on the dog tag, which did look somewhat familiar.

Gummy stood up excitedly the moment he saw Victoria and wagged his tail frantically.

The money was so conspicuous in her hand that Victoria was too embarrassed to give it to Nick and had to pass it on to Declan.

“Thanks! Gummy snuck out when my family wasn’t looking. I’m really sorry for the trouble.”

Declan saw the money. He hesitated for a second, then calmly took it.

Victoria took the rope from him before noticing a logo – HERMES – on the rope near the direction of her hand.

“…”

She couldn’t believe that the leash was Hermes. Five hundred might not be enough to cover the change!

She took out her cell phone, “How much is this leash? Let me transfer the money to you.”

At the same time her heart was complaining, ‘Rich people’s money is really good, the dog leash has to be a big international brand.’

“Poppy, it’s okay, no need.”

Victoria instantly felt that the five hundred had humiliated not only Nick, but also his assistant.

But it had already been given out. What else could she do?

It was embarrassing!

Luckily for Nick, he turned his computer off at the moment and took off his Bluetooth headset.

Victoria hastily shortened the rope a bit, worried that Gummy had offended him.

Nick passed by her, pausing in his steps for a split second.

Gummy stuck his tongue out at him in a friendly way, his eyes shining.

It seemed to like him a little bit. Like he was his master.

Nick frowned, “Poppy?”

He called out, and before Victoria could answer, it was Gummy who called out first, as if to answer him.

Nick then let out a soft laugh and took it in stride.

Victoria stood still with a hot face and glanced down at Gummy.

“He didn’t just call you, what are you excited about?”

She rubbed his head and Gummy’s tail wagged faster.

Victoria remembered to call Aggie.

Aggie felt relieved at that.

Victoria put Gummy in the passenger seat and drove back to Shannon Villa.

Just coming in, Aggie looked the dog up and down to make sure nothing was wrong with it before thanking God all over again.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Mrs. Andrews, I’ll keep a good eye on him next time.”

“Emm… Gummy’s too perky too. Remember to close the front entrance door.”

“Yes, I will.”

Victoria nodded, thinking that tomorrow was the anniversary of her mother’s death, and, lost the idea of having fun with Gummy, she went upstairs, packed some clothes, and called her uncle, saying that she would return to the county tomorrow.

“Tori, you are coming back, did your dad say anything about that thing….”

“Uncle, it wasn’t your fault.”

Jonathan sighed, “How could it not be my fault? This time your aunt cured her own sausage, bring some back for your dad.”

“Okay.”

Knowing that Jonathan Casper had guilt and that if she didn’t take it, it would only make him feel worse, Victoria had to agree.

She revised the plan several times during the night, finalizing the final sketch according to the little information she had learned.

Then sent it to Nick.

If he agreed on his end, the construction drawings would be ready soon.

Nick still didn’t reply to her message. She guessed he was too busy at work and hadn’t had time yet. Victoria was also encountering such a customer for the first time, so she had to follow her own preconceived notions.

The next morning, she loaded her packed things into the car, went to the mall to buy a few cans of tea and a few bottles of wine, and bought some skincare products for her aunt before driving towards the county seat.

Almost off the highway, she saw a Bentley far ahead.

How could she see a Bentley in such a shitty little county?

Victoria just glanced at the car without reading the license plate and drove to her uncle’s house.

Jonathan Casper had already been waiting downstairs, and when he saw Victoria appear, a smile appeared on his face as he greeted her.

Victoria parked the car and opened the door.

“Uncle, have you been waiting here for a long time?”

Hopmeadow Downs was the poorest county in the city, and while there was a stretch of high-rise buildings and shopping malls in the center of the county, Jonathan’s family lived in a small, dilapidated bungalow.

“Tori, you made it! I was afraid you would be stuck in traffic.”

Victoria opened the trunk, set down the wine and tea she’d bought, and asked, “Where’s aunt?”

“In there… cooking all your favorites. She started preparing them first thing in the morning.”

Jonathan took the items from her hand and walked inside side by side.

Victoria thought of the vehicles she had just encountered on the road, and asked,”Uncle, have a lot of people been coming to our county recently?”

Obviously it was not a holiday, but there has been an increase in traffic coming off the highway..

Jonathan’s face was all smiles, “That’s right. We’re about to be developed. I heard that the government is going to make this place a tourist attraction. By then this area will be a tourist area. There are already big bosses coming down to look at it, and now your aunt and I are counting on the house being demolished.”
