Chapter 103 Understanding
Brandon had never mentioned this before. Heidi exclaimed, "What? No way, Diana is so disgusting? She drugged Brandon and fooled him into being with her..." This didn't need further explanation, it was naturally understood. Heidi grabbed Victoria and said, "Victoria, I think Brandon is really suffering. It's not fair to blame him for this." Grayson, who rarely agreed with Heidi, nodded in agreement. "Yes, Brandon definitely wouldn't want to touch Diana. He's the victim here. And more importantly, Diana did this to ruin your relationship. If you really break up with Brandon over this, it will only make her happy." Victoria's eyes flickered. In fact, when he knelt down for her, Victoria had thought that even if he didn't have deep feelings for her, there must be some difference in his heart towards her. Even if she couldn't tell, there must be some truth and some lies in his feelings. Now that she knew about Brandon and Diana, she realized that she had also been deceived by Diana. Although she felt that as a man, he should be able to control himself even if he was drugged, she couldn't be sure if she would be able to do the same if she were in his shoes. Brandon walked in from outside, sensing that something was amiss. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Victoria's baby?" "No," Grayson looked at his face, "Hey, why is your face so red? Did someone hit you?" This made his red face turn a little black. "Are you guys done talking?" Heidi and Grayson exchanged a glance and said in unison that they were, then tactfully left. Victoria looked at the red mark on his face. At that moment, he had not cared about his own dignity and knelt down to beg for a piece of trash. In her heart, he wouldn't do something like that, but he did.
The red marks, he made them himself. Otherwise, he could have just ignored his own...
She looked at him, "Um... I just saw your message."
He paused, his slightly red face showing understanding, "I know those were just excuses. If I touched her, then I touched her. I feel disgusted with myself too."
"Okay," Victoria said, "If you wanted to explain, you should have said it then. You said you were tricked by her, and although I still feel disgusted, I can accept it better."
He furrowed his brows.
She continued, "And, it's not all your fault. I feel disgusted only because Diana touched you, not because of what you did."
Brandon finally understood, "So you want to go back home?"
Victoria nodded silently.
Seeing his face finally relax, she said, "But mainly, I think what Diana did was too much. Teacher Larson was right. If we broke up because of this, she would be the happiest. It's one thing to want a man, but using such despicable means is not right. I have to tell her that what she did was useless."
Brandon frowned. What did she mean? Did she not care if Diana tried to steal him away?
Before he could think more, she suddenly patted his shoulder and said, "Also, I'm sure your stepmother had a hand in this. Otherwise, Diana wouldn't dare to be so bold."
Brandon's eyes deepened, "You're right."
Victoria made up her mind. They would pay for this next time.
She rested at home for two days. Then, the people from the old mansion suddenly came to ask when Brandon would come back to visit. They said Diana wasn't feeling well lately and needed him to come back and check on her.
Brandon looked at the butler who came in and was about to refuse, but Victoria suddenly walked out. "Hey, let's go back. We can go back now," Victoria said.
"What are you up to?" Brandon asked, surprised.
"Of course, we're going back to visit Diana properly," Victoria said.
Looking at the strange smile in her eyes, Brandon felt that what she said might not be that simple.
Victoria grabbed his arm. "Let's go, let's go. We're resting at home these two days and not going to work."
She had taken four days off and there was nothing to do. Brandon looked at her hand holding his arm and shaking it. It was a rare act of coquetry. He silently nodded, "Okay, let's go see her."
At night, at the Duncan Family's house.
Diana sat on the sofa, playing with her phone, while Lisa said, "Why don't you call Brandon quickly? After he left, there has been no news. I thought after you settled things, he would be eager to continue with you."
Her words were all mocking Diana, implying that she couldn't keep a man's heart, let alone his body. Diana's face turned pale instantly, but at this moment, someone ran in and said, "Young Master is back."
Brandon really came back.
Diana quickly stood up, and Lisa was also stunned. She had just shown a little face to Diana, but saw that more than just Brandon came in.
Brandon walked in with Victoria following behind, her neck still wrapped in a bandage, indicating that she had been injured. Brandon's face remained calm and unreadable, with only a slight chill emanating from his dark eyes.
Lisa was taken aback and said, "Brandon, you're back. Victoria, you're really keeping a close eye on things. I asked Brandon to come back to see Diana, and you followed…
You're not jealous, are you? This is about the Duncan Family's offspring, and you need to be more tolerant. It's not something you should get angry about."
Victoria looked directly at Lisa and replied, "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about? Since it's the Duncan Family's offspring, as a daughter-in-law of the Duncan Family, of course I have to show some concern. Who knows, when Miss Evans' child is born, I might have to take care of it. How can I not care?"
Lisa was shocked by Victoria's shamelessness and her ability to say such things. Had she really calmed down so quickly? Lisa had underestimated her.
"Well, it's okay for Brandon to come back. I just wanted to warn him. Diana is pregnant, and you were a bit rough with her. The doctor said that the baby in Diana's belly is still small, and she shouldn't be moved around too much."
This was an intentional hint. What had Brandon and Diana done that day? Brandon's eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and Victoria's expression also changed.
Diana blushed and lowered her head, pretending to be shy. "Don't blame Brandon. It's my fault. I didn't stop him."
