The Preston family had several properties in the capital. Although they had regular cleaning, they were not occupied all year round, and the furniture needed to be replaced. So when they first arrived in the capital, they checked into a hotel.
Now that the cleaning has been completed, the villa has a new look, and it is almost ready for occupancy.
This time, Alicia and Mason had planned to stay in the capital for two more months.
Although they didn't know that Victoria was their daughter at that time, they liked this girl from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to spend more time with her.
Unexpectedly, it was a miracle, and Victoria was their biological daughter whom they had been struggling to find for so many years, so it was all the more reason to stay in the capital for a while.
Originally, according to Alicia and Mason's plan, after finding their daughter, they wanted to bring her back to their home in Europe so that they could live together as a family.
But now the situation was a bit complicated. Victoria had already married Jack and liked living here. If they insisted on taking Victoria back to the Preston family in Europe, it would not be appropriate.
Alicia and Mason thought that they might as well settle in the capital from now on.
They were reluctant to be separated from their daughter. Since it was inconvenient for her to go to Europe, they would settle in the capital.
As for the company's development focus, it would be fine to slowly transfer it to Newtopia.
Everyone had dinner together at the Star Tower.
During the dinner, Alicia and Mason asked a lot about Victoria's past, wanting to learn more about their daughter's past life.
Victoria answered all of them seriously.
Michael and Ralph listened intently, eager to participate in their sister's childhood and growth, but helpless.
The most hateful creature was Dr. Duke, who had caused their sister to be separated from them for so long.
Hearing her daughter's plight in the orphanage, tears welled up in Alicia's eyes.
Victoria quickly wiped away her mother's tears and said lightly, "Actually, I didn't stay in the orphanage for long. Later, I was adopted by my grandparents and started living with them."
Mason had learned online that Victoria's grandparents were the famous Earl and Amity Nixon, and he was really grateful to these two.
Unfortunately, these two had already passed away.
Naturally, Alicia also knew that Earl and Amity treated Victoria very well, and the sourness in her heart dissipated slowly.
Looking at Jack sitting next to Victoria, Alicia continued to ask, "Victoria, did you and Jack get to know each other back then?"
Victoria nodded with a smile, "I used to live with my grandparents in the countryside, and Jack's grandfather brought him over, and we got to know each other slowly."
Jack thought about the past, and his cold eyes became gentle, "I grew up with Victoria, she helped me a lot."
Victoria turned to look at him and muttered quietly, "I bullied you a lot too!"
Jack's brows raised slightly, and the corners of his eyes were filled with a smile.
Alicia looked at the two of them looking so loving and sweet, and sighed in her heart, these two were childhood sweethearts?
No wonder their relationship was so strong now.
After hearing some stories about the two of them when they were young, Alicia became more and more pleased with Jack. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also kind to Victoria. He was really lovable.
Alicia couldn't suppress her smile and used her spoon to serve Victoria and Jack several times.
However, the father and his sons, Mason, Michael, and Ralph next to them didn't share the same enthusiasm.
The father and son all had a straight face. The more they looked at Jack, the more displeased they were.
What's going on?
Capturing both women in their families at once?
What are you doing?
The father and son looked at each other and instantly formed an alliance, standing on a united front.
Alicia turned her head and saw Ralph with a straight face, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Why are you so dark-faced? It's so ugly. Look at Jack, how good this kid is!"
Ralph stared blankly.
"Say it!" Victoria held his hand and shook it from side to side. "It's okay. It's just you and me here. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Jack looked at her with dark eyes and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I feel like your two brothers hate me."
Victoria was surprised, it was the first time he had heard him say such words, and it was a bit strange.
Jack lowered his eyelashes, held her hand, and intertwined his fingers with hers: "Victoria, I really want to be friends with your two brothers, but they don't seem to welcome me... It should be because I haven't done a good enough job... "
Victoria was bemused.
Jack said, "Victoria, you will be on my side... Forget it, I don't want to upset you, and I don't want you to be caught in the middle."
The corners of Victoria's mouth twitched, "... Don't worry, talk to me!"
The man chuckled, his Dempsey's apple rolled slightly, and his laughter was low and sexy, he stretched out his arms: "Make the baby happy, give me a hug?"
Victoria blinked and threw herself into his arms, resting his chin on the man's chest, looking up at him, "You don't want to leave, do you?"
"Yeah, I don't want to be separated from you."
"It will only be for one night, okay? Come find me tomorrow!" Victoria looked around like a vigilant kitten, seeing no one, quickly kissed him on the corner of his lips, and then smiled with crooked eyes, "Hey, in addition to hugs, there are also kisses!"
The corners of his lips hooked up, "Kiss me again?"
Victoria generously kissed him twice, "Buy one, get one free!"
After a while, Victoria finally pushed him into the car and watched him drive away before turning back home.
In the living room, Alicia, Mason, Michael, and Ralph were all waiting.
When Victoria came back, they didn't ask her why she and Jack had been outside for so long. They just chatted with her about the past, as if they had endless topics to talk about.
For the first time, they felt that the family was finally complete.
Victoria didn't feel restrained, she naturally felt a sense of closeness. The concern from her parents and brother was the family affection she had longed for for many years...
