Chapter 115 Grandma is sick
As he lowered his head to look at his stomach, Victoria pushed his hand away with a look of blame. "Didn't you say you wouldn't touch me?"
Brandon snapped out of his daze. "Right, I won't touch you. I just want to hold you."
"No, you can't hold me."
"Why not?" He frowned.
"If I don't want to let you hold me, then I won't. There's no need for a reason."
Brandon chuckled. "Is this what they call being cute?"
Victoria looked at him in surprise. Was this guy crazy? How was what she did considered cute?
Well, at least he thought of it as being cute rather than noticing her stomach.
Fortunately, he didn't continue to bother her that night.
The next day, early in the morning, Heidi came knocking on Victoria's door.
Victoria was about to answer the door when Brandon took a step ahead of her and went to open it. Heidi was surprised to see Brandon and quickly lowered her voice. "I'm here to see Victoria. Where is she?"
"I'm here. What's wrong? Did something happen?" Victoria stood up and asked.
Heidi quickly pulled her up and smiled apologetically at Brandon. "Can I borrow Victoria for a bit?"
Once they were in the room, Heidi cursed, "Ah, Grayson is such a pervert. He was walking around the room naked and I saw everything. It's so infuriating!"
"..."
Victoria almost burst out laughing. "Naked? In the living room?"
"Well, not exactly. It was in his room," Heidi clarified. "I knew it. There's no way he would be naked in the living room," Victoria said, understanding now.
"But if you were naked in your room, shouldn't you have locked the door? We all live together, so not locking the door means anyone can come in," Heidi pointed out.
"I went in there for a reason, of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone into his room," Heidi explained.
Victoria chuckled, thinking that their relationship must be pretty good to be so casual.
"So...what did you think when you saw him?" Victoria leaned against the wall and asked.
Heidi paused for a moment, her face turning slightly red. "I thought...um, he looked pretty good."
She seemed to remember something and her gaze drifted off with a smile.
"..."
Victoria was speechless and gave her a pat. "What are you thinking about?"
Heidi snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about Brandon. How is he?"
Victoria was taken aback, her face turning red. "He's...fine."
Heidi burst into laughter, squinting her eyes as she looked at her. "Oh my, this man is truly a prodigy. He's handsome, rich...and..."
Victoria's tone turned low. "Alright, that's enough. No one is perfect. He's a prodigy, so he's heartless and ruthless."
"......"
Heidi sighed, "This is indeed a problem. Being too emotional is not good, but being emotionless also makes people helpless. However, just now he went to open the door himself and took care of you. I thought it would be you who opened the door. When I saw him, I was startled."
"What's so scary about that?"
"Of course it's scary. His face alone is enough to freeze people."
"Really... maybe I'm used to it."
Victoria scratched her head.
After Heidi finished her sarcasm, she went back inside. Outside, Brandon watched her leave and leaned against the door, "What were you talking about?"
"Nothing, just about Grayson and her," Victoria said lightly.
Brandon suddenly approached her, "You didn't mention me?"
Victoria remembered the conversation between her and her best friend just now and her face turned slightly red.
"No, I didn't."
Looking at Victoria's cheeks, Brandon didn't believe her.
He smiled and pulled her over, "I don't believe you. You must have said something about me."
"I really didn't." Victoria had no choice but to look up at him.
"Then why are you blushing? Did you say something bad about me?" He lowered his head and pinched her cheeks. "..." Victoria quickly dodged, "How could that be?"
Brandon laughed, "Oh, then it must be something good..."
"..."
Victoria stopped talking and pursed her lips. He, on the other hand, was in a good mood and picked up Victoria.
Victoria was about to call out, but at that moment, a voice came from outside.
"Sir, the old lady has fallen ill. Please come back quickly."
Grandma fell ill?
Victoria was stunned, and Brandon paused as well. He put her down and called someone in.
The person who came in said, "Someone told the old lady about the matter of the young lady having an abortion, and the old lady fainted directly."
Someone? It was already obvious who this person was.
It must have been Lisa who told the old lady.
Brandon's face darkened, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.
The trip was interrupted, and Victoria followed Brandon back to the old house and went straight to the old lady's room. "Mom, just relax." Lisa was still pretending to comfort her. "It's just a child. Let Brandon have another one. It's a pity that Diana's child is gone, and Victoria's child is gone too. Two children are gone at once..."
The old lady was even more angry when she heard this.
"You get out of here!" she angrily shouted. Lisa secretly laughed in her heart.
"Grandma."
Victoria walked in.
As soon as the old lady saw Victoria, tears flowed down her face again.
"Victoria..."
"Grandmother," Brandon followed in.
But the old lady raised her hand and struck down at Brandon.
"You scoundrel, what are you doing back here? I don't have a grandson like you, my great-grandchild is gone just like that..."
"Grandmother."
Brandon grabbed her hand, but the old lady still angrily hit his shoulder. "At my age, I'm afraid I won't see my great-grandchild again. I might not even make it to the day it's born. Sigh..."
Watching the old lady so sad, Victoria took a step forward. "Grandma..."
She really wanted to say that the child was still there and that Grandma would definitely be able to see it.
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she looked up and saw Brandon, who was expressionless on the side, and she didn't say it.
To ensure that nothing went wrong, she decided to keep it a secret. Otherwise, he might come up with another way to kill her child.
"Grandmother, you will definitely be able to see your great-grandchild," Victoria could only hold her hand and sincerely say.
As they left, Lisa looked at Victoria with a strange tone, "Victoria, your body hasn't fully recovered yet, why did you come out? Why don't you stay here tonight?"
Victoria said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry about me. You should worry more about Miss Evans. She lost her child, you must be very disappointed."
"You..."
Lisa looked up at Brandon and said, "To be honest, don't you want to go see Diana? Her health is not good. After all, she ruined her body because she was pregnant with your child. Now she can't sleep at night. Don't you care about her? Can you live with yourself?"
Brandon snorted, "Haven't you already cared for me enough?"
"Well, if you don't believe me, that's fine. Victoria can be vicious and push Diana down. One day, she will plot against you. Just wait and see," Lisa replied.
