Departed With A Belly {1}

Aren't Fated to be Together

"Fun?" That idea made Victoria scrunch her nose.

"Of course." Summer propped her chin up, excitedly explaining, "Do you
know a child is fun to play with? Like, if you give birth to a daughter, you
can dress her up prettily every day like a real-life doll. Have you played the
game, Project Makeover? Raising a child is just like dressing your avatar
inside the game."

Feeling speechless, Victoria, who had never played any games, looked at
Summer perplexedly.

"By the way, let me be your child's godmother." While rubbing her hands
excitedly, Summer had a secretive look in her eyes.

"If you're busy, I can move in with you. Hehe. Let me make it clear that l'm not moving in with you because I want to play with your child."

Not knowing what to say, Victoria suddenly realized why Summer insisted on letting her keep the child.

"That's right." Summer suddenly became stern and asked, "I almost forgot to ask. Did Claudia come to you yesterday?"

"Yes."

"What the heck? What did she say to
you?"

Then, Victoria told her friend everything that happened yesterday. After listening to her explanation, the emotional Summer began throwing a fit again.

"Gosh! How shameless can she get? Giving you money to leave Alaric? Who does she think she is? Alaric's wife? Is she and Alaric even dating? She dared to come to you and put on airs!"

While she was criticizing Claudia, Victoria did not feel like stopping her because she knew that was how Summer was.

If Summer could not rant, she would feel uncomfortable all over.

Once she was done, Victoria handed her a tissue while advising, "This is the last time. Don't criticize her again."

"What was that?" Summer widened her eyes.

"How can you still speak up for her when she treated you like that?"

"Summer, she helped me once."

"When?" Summer was confused and asked, "Why is this the first time I'm
hearing about this?"

Victoria's eyelids hung low, saying, "It was a long time ago."

It was when the Selwyns had just filed for bankruptcy. All of her bank accounts were frozen, and she was only left with a few hundred dollars in her PayPal account.

Back then, she did not know what had happened, and her dad's phone was constantly busy, so she could only rush home as quickly as she could.

When she returned home, she discovered her house was a mess. A bunch of people was sealing the entrance with tapes while some were splashing paint onto the walls.

A few were even thinking of heading inside and clearing everything out.

Victoria's dad, Tony Selwyn, was roughly pushed around while attempting
to stop them but ended up breaking his leg.

When she witnessed that, she was so pissed that she went over and argued with them. Then, she called the police but had her phone slapped away.

The scene was a chaotic mess.

In the end, the person in charge there received a call, and his attitude
immediately changed as he humbly and flatteringly spoke on the phone, "Alright, I understand. Yes, I'll leave with the others now."
