Victoria blinked, her dense eyelashes lightly fluttering, "There's no such thing as abandonment, we're already friends."
Upon hearing this, Hunter seemed to laugh.
He stared at Victoria without blinking, his gaze strong and aggressive.
A friend?
"Victoria, who wants to be friends with you?"
He didn't want to be just her friend.
Victoria was taken aback, almost exploding with anger, and said seriously, "Hunter, I'm telling you, I don't like you now, and I won't in the future."
He sneered lightly, disdain in his tone. "What's there to like about Jack?"
Victoria blurted out, "Everything is worth liking!"
The haze in the man's eyes deepened.
Victoria looked straight at him without flinching.
"I grew up with Jack since childhood. No one understands me better than him, and no one treats me better than him... When I was most painful and helpless after leaving the Montgomery family, it was Jack who appeared in front of me and accepted me into his world... Whenever, Jack always puts me in the most important place in his heart, why shouldn't I like him?"
As Victoria's words fell, the room suddenly fell silent.
It was quiet enough to hear the faint breathing of the two.
Hunter's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, a smile playing on his lips. "It seems... I have to continue being the Mistress."
Victoria was stunned.
Furious!
How can't she get through to him?
Victoria glanced around, grabbed the pillow beside her, and threw it at him.
The man easily caught it, his gaze falling on the wound on her waist. "Are you still not resting even though you're injured? If the wound ruptures and bleeds, watch how I discipline you."
Victoria was speechless. How could she like him?
Hunter put down the pillow, hooked his lips, and spoke in a low, slow tone, "Why be angry? When you're healed, you can throw it at me as much as you want."
Victoria couldn't be bothered to pay attention.
