Came Back as an Heiress After My Ex-Fiancé Made Me Blind novel Chapter 88

Victoria widened her eyes in astonishment, wearing an expression of disbelief.

Why did he call her... baby?

And screamed so loudly!

On the other end of the phone, Mason distinctly heard these words. He first paused for two seconds, then his brow furrowed.

Why did he hear a man's voice calling Victoria, baby? Such an affectionate address...

How could he say that his hand was numb? Such ambiguous words...

Victoria... had a boyfriend?

She was sick in the hospital, and her boyfriend was by her side.

Mason's heart sank, and he couldn't help but ask, "Victoria, is there someone with you?"

Victoria cleared her throat and replied as casually as possible, "Okay. By the way, why did you call me?"

Mason said, "It's nothing important. Since you're sick, I won't trouble you for now."

Victoria said, "Okay, then I still have something to do, so I'll hang up."

Mason looked at the call that was hung up, his brows furrowed, and the unusually ambiguous words "Baby, my hand went numb from your pressure" echoed in his ears again, and he fell into deep thought."

Hospital, ward.

Victoria hung up the phone, staring at the instigator in front of him, "What did you just say?"

Jack glanced at his hand, calm and indifferent, even a bit innocent, "My hand was indeed pressured by you."

...Okay.

Victoria took a deep breath and looked at him with clear black and white eyes, "Then why are you suddenly calling me... baby?"

The man raised an eyebrow slightly, "Otherwise, should I call you wife?"

Victoria replied, "...Just shut up!"

After a moment of silence, Jack leaned closer to her.

The man's eyes were dark, and he looked straight into the girl's glistening eyes. His voice was deep and slow as he asked, "Don't you want Mason to know about my relationship with you?"

Victoria blinked his thick eyelashes, "You and I were originally married in secret."

Jack's face remained calm, but a chill and hostility oozed from the bottom of his eyes.

She really liked Mason Sawyer...

However, in the next second, Victoria changed the subject and said, "But telling Mason about my marriage to you is fine, it won't change anything."

Jack's body suddenly stiffened, and the haze between his brows that was covered in frost and snow instantly dissipated.

He stared at Victoria without blinking, not wanting to miss the slightest expression on her face, "You... don't like Mason anymore?"

Victoria was startled.

What the hell?

She likes Mason?

Who made up this rumor?

Then, she remembered, she made up the rumor herself.

When she was little, in order to avoid the childhood engagement with Jack, she made up a reason and claimed to have a crush on a male classmate.

Victoria held her forehead feeling a headache, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she spoke dryly, "Of course I don't like him, let's not talk about the past."

"And I assure you, I'm very moral. I won't have any inappropriate behavior with other opposite-sex during our marriage!"

Jack heard her say that she no longer liked Mason, and an indescribable joy surged in his heart as if turning the tide.

However, upon hearing the latter part, his brows imperceptibly furrowed,

"Is it okay after the divorce?"

"Of course, after the divorce, I'll be free again," Victoria quickly calculated in her heart, "Probably in half a year, we can get divorced."

Jack's heart initially throbbed with joy, but it froze in an instant as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

She was so eager to divorce him.

She was eager to distance herself from him.

Jack stared at her without saying a word.

After a long silence, he suddenly spoke meaningfully, "According to the agreement, during our marriage, we have to fulfill our marital duties."

Victoria was puzzled, "Marital duties?"
