The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 464

Victoria brought her aunt home to her place in Evermore City.

Emily was still frail. She’d only just woken up and was far too weak to even get out of bed.

Knowing Victoria had just given birth herself and needed all the rest and help she could get, Emily had initially refused to stay. But Victoria was insistent.

“Aunt Emily, you and my brother are the only family I have left in this world. I want you here with me.”

Emily was touched. “Silly girl, you have three children now. Look at Gwyn—she’s grown into such a lovely girl—and the two little ones, too. And besides—”

She glanced out the window where McNeil was wrangling the kids. “He doesn’t seem like a completely lost cause, you know.”

Victoria’s expression didn’t change. “There’s nothing left between us. That’s what matters, Aunt Emily. He doesn’t love me.”

Emily asked gently, “And you? Are you sure you feel nothing for him anymore?”

Victoria spoke quietly, her voice calm. “After years together, things just faded away—especially once my heart was broken for good.”

She had no intention of going back.

Emily didn’t try to persuade her. “This is your life, sweetheart. I won’t interfere.”

Truthfully, Emily didn’t harbor any resentment toward McNeil. If anyone deserved the title of ‘scoundrel,’ it was her so-called brother-in-law—he’d been the real disappointment. It was a pity her sister and father had both died with so much regret.

As the two women chatted, a child’s cry sounded from outside. Victoria reacted instinctively, rising to her feet.

But as she reached the doorway, she saw Gwyneth Langford entertaining little Chris with a toy.

McNeil had been trying to calm Chris, who was wailing so hard his tiny fists shook. He’d tried every trick he knew, his arms aching, but Chris only cried harder—until Gwyneth appeared with her toy.

“Daddy, let me hold him—”

Gwyneth reached for Chris and McNeil, nervous she might drop the baby, hovered over her, not daring to look away for a second.
