Natalia let Iris inform him of the result. Maxwell couldn't accept it.
It was useless. Fortunately, he only signed a contract of five years with Annie International and it expired in less than one year. He could take a vacation during this time. When it expired, he could work for another company.
This matter was over for Natalia.
She didn't care about the relationship between Selena and him.
A week had passed.
Victoria's birthday was coming. Natalia was thinking of her schedule and found that she couldn't celebrate her birthday.
Since Victoria went abroad, she had been only in occasional contact with Natalia.
She didn't even contact her father and brother.
Natalia couldn't raise her opinion. She could only care about Victoria as much as possible, lest Victoria felt lonely abroad.
On Victoria's birthday, Natalia called her at the stroke of midnight
The call was put through soon. Victoria's delighted voice came, "Natalia!"
"Happy birthday, darling."
"Thank you."
Natalia couldn't help being amused by Victoria, "Victoria, to be honest, have you missed me?"
"Sure, but you never come to see me."
"Don't worry. When my godson is born in half a month, Archie and I will come together."
"What if it's a daughter?"
"It's better. Anne can keep her company and take care of her."
Victoria shook her head, "You're lucky. To be honest, it is really hard to be pregnant with a child."
Natalia's smile froze on her lips.
"Can you manage it yourself? Do I need to go there in advance?"
Victoria hurriedly refused.
"No, I have a servant. Don't worry."
Natalia sighed.
She opened her mouth but swallowed her tongue back.
Victoria seemed to know what Natalia wanted to say and smiled, "Natalia, don't worry about me. I'm a little stronger than you think. I can do it."
Natalia nodded and talked about the gossips.
"Do you remember Charlie?"
"Yes? What?"
"He had once been together with Wanda. If we had known it before, I would have forbidden you to lust after him."
Victoria back stiffened.
Her fingers quivered slightly.
A moment later, she forced a smile.
"Is that so? I haven't heard of it before."
"I wouldn't have known it if Peter hadn't asked Archie and me to drink in the bar."
Victoria did not speak.
Natalia rolled her eyes and asked, "Victoria, your child has nothing to do with Charlie, right?"
"Where are you thinking about? Of course not."
"Thank god."
Natalia said in a self-congratulatory tone and patted her chest.
Victoria didn't want to talk about this topic. Instead, she asked, "Have you been back to Julio?"
