When Elizabeth woke up from Victoria's arms, she met Victoria's tender and watery eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly asked, "Victoria, you haven't been sleeping?"
"No, I just woke up."
Victoria tucked Elizabeth in without telling her that she had been watching her without closing her eyes, afraid she might have nightmares.
Elizabeth yawned and snuggled back into Victoria's arms like a little squirrel.
She felt that she had slept particularly sweetly, with the faint fragrance of Victoria lingering around her, like a red rose covered in ice and snow, and like a breeze blowing over the lake, smoothing away all the unease and shadows in her heart.
And...
"Victoria," Elizabeth touched Victoria's arm and said mysteriously, "your skin is so good! It's white and tender, and it feels really good to touch!"
Victoria stared blankly...
Elizabeth lovingly touched for a while, then suddenly asked with a face full of gossip, "When you're with Mr. Moore, does he like to touch and caress you a lot?"
Victoria thought silently.
It seems like he does a little...
Victoria absentmindedly touched herself, feeling nothing special...
Elizabeth also foolishly followed suit and touched her own arm, "Um, it doesn't feel like anything when I touch myself, I'd rather touch you~"
The two of them played and laughed on the bed for a while, and when they saw that it was almost noon, Victoria got up from the bed, washed up quickly, and had lunch with Elizabeth.
Thinking that she still had to go see Amelia at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Victoria asked Elizabeth to rest well and went home first.
And he left a bodyguard downstairs at Elizabeth's house to ensure her safety at least until Amelia was dealt with.
Back at Imperial Gardens.
As soon as Jack saw the redness in her eyes, he furrowed his brows. "Did you not rest?"
Victoria glanced at him, then opened her arms directly to hug him, flying back to her harbor like a tired bird returning to its nest, "You're talking about me, did you rest? Come on, give me a recharge!"
But as soon as she hugged him before she had a chance to indulge in Jack's warmth, Carl ran over from outside without stopping.
"What the hell! What's going on, brother?! Did you leave the police station this morning?"
Besides Carl, Anne also followed behind, worriedly asking, "Victoria, what's going on?"
Victoria had to let go of Jack and tell them about Lucas kidnapping Elizabeth last night to threaten her.
Carl was so angry he cursed violently, "Damn, this Lucas is really despicable, how he can think of such sinister tricks?! And he said that Amelia was unaware, I'm sure she's definitely involved!"
Anne sighed incessantly in her heart, feeling sorry for Victoria. It must have been really hard for her to deal with such a family who could not distinguish between right and wrong.
Although Victoria used to live with her grandparents, as a child, how could she not want her parents when she saw other kids with their parents?
Later, when her grandparents passed away, Victoria was willing to be taken back to the Montgomery family, it must have been to fulfill her childhood longing for parental love, but the Montgomery family turned out to be like that...
Carl was so angry that he looked at Victoria with indignation, "Victoria, you must not let Amelia off the hook!"
