"Such being the case, I'll just let you do whatever you want. You're an adult now, and you're entitled to make life choices for yourself."
"I only hope you'll remember that, whatever happens in the future, your father and your brother will always support you, you get it?"
Tears streamed down Victoria's cheeks silently.
She buried her head in Brandon's arms, nodding and weeping.
"I get it."
Now Brandon felt a little relieved. He patted Victoria gently on the back to calm her down, as if she was a child.
He said, "Cry it out loud if it makes you feel better."
The two had talked for a long time in the study.
It was after half an hour later that the conversation was over.
Victoria's eyes were still red when she went downstairs, but obviously, she was in a better mood now.
Charlie had been waiting for her downstairs. He greeted her immediately at the sight of her.
"How's it going?"
Charlie grabbed Victoria's hand and pulled her into their room.
Victoria gave a smile and nodded. "Done."
Charlie raised his eyebrows.
Victoria pressed her lips together before she smiled, "Dad loves us. Charlie, don't confront him again. He..."
As Victoria said that, the two of them had already gone into their room.
Charlie suddenly threw Victoria in his arms as he closed the door.
"He what?"
He dropped his head to kiss her as he spoke.
Panting, Victoria stuttered, "He's getting old, and he has done all this for my own good. Don't..."
Charlie chuckled all of a sudden.
He used his body to push her to the bed as he kissed her.
"Victoria, I never confront him. It's just that he wouldn't let me go. As I said, I don't care about anything, as long as he doesn't stop us from being together."
Now Victoria was pushed to the bed by Charlie.
Startled, she stretched out her arms subconsciously to push him away, mumbling, "What are you doing, Charlie..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed by Charlie's.
It was another sleepless night.
Since Victoria still had work to do in the next few days, she wouldn't be staying long in Julio.
Now, the New Year holiday was already over. During the holiday, both Brandon and James were busy holding or attending parties, and they had no time to keep her company, so Victoria went back to Eqitin with Joy and Charlie.
Meanwhile, after the New Year holiday, Maria got Laura another modern urban drama, and Laura was busy filming now.
She hadn't met Christine recently, so nothing had happened between the two.
At the same time, Fannie was getting better day by day.
During the filming, Laura asked for a day off to take Fannie to St. Peter's Hospital for an overall checkup.
Ordinarily, a family doctor would come to check on Fannie, but Laura still believed that it was better to have the specialist of international reputation in St. Peter's Hospital check on Fannie, and he was also the one doing her surgery back then.
