Chapter 4 The Cute Boy

Victoria wanted to roll her eyes at Desmond. She looked at Desmond's eyebrows and then looked at Franklin's. They didn't resemble at all. However, she couldn't help but smile.

She was delighted because Desmond loved Franklin.

In front of the handrail on the second floor, Grace and Kaylin were looking at the scene. Both of them flashed resentment and regret in their eyes. Grace snorted unhappily as she saw the loving scene between Desmond and Franklin.

"You have already come back! I thought you were going to arrive in the afternoon!" Grace pretended to welcome Victoria's arrival as she walked downstairs.

"Grace." Victoria greeted Grace, nothing more than out of politeness. When her eyes fell on Kaylin, her face turned even more indifferent.

"He's so cute." Grace had to act like a hostess in front of her husband. When she sat down and reached out for Franklin, Victoria immediately felt tensed up. She was afraid that Grace would hurt Franklin in the dark.

Anyway, she knew very well how wicked Grace and Kaylin were.

"My dear sister," Kaylin smiled proudly as she walked over to Victoria. "Long time no see."

Victoria turned her head away to avoid seeing her. Five years ago, the scene of Kaylin hugging her fiancé naked was still lingering in her mind.

Austin was her childhood sweetheart, and their relationship was intimate. She hated Austin and her shameless half-sister. In the end, no matter how long Austin and Victoria had known each other, Kaylin managed to steal him away.

That year, she got hurt twice in a row. First, she lost her virginity to someone unknown. Second, her fiancé had cheated on her. Since then, she never believed in men.

"Grace, please clean up a guest room for Victoria and Franklin."

"No need for that, Dad. I'll bring Franklin to stay with Betty."

"Your home's here. How can you live with someone else?"

"She's my best friend." Victoria insisted. She would be worried if Franklin lived in this house. Grace and Kaylin were not easy to deal with. Desmond's attention to Franklin had already made them jealous.

"Grandpa, Betty's my godmother. I also want to see her." Franklin also spoke for his mother.

"Alright! It's up to you!" Desmond stopped arguing and stood up to hold Franklin's hand. "Take a walk in the garden with me."

Franklin immediately smiled and held his hand. Desmond's stone-cold heart was warmed by his smile.

He always felt that he owed Victoria and Franklin a lot all these years. No matter what happened, they were his kids.

Victoria didn't follow them out. Since Desmond wanted to spend some time with Franklin, she'd better leave them alone.

"Victoria, why did you come back suddenly? Don't you feel comfortable abroad?" Kaylin said in a mocking voice.

"This is my home. Why can't I come back?" Victoria cast a cold glance at her. Grace looked at her in surprise. In the past five years, she seemed to have changed a lot. Grace was still jealous of her beautiful face, yet at the same time, there was something more. She had to admit that Victoria's temperament was more charming. Looking at her daughter again, although she was also pretty, she seemed to be no equal to Victoria.

"I now know why you didn't marry Austin. Given your son's birthday, you had betrayed him a long time ago." Kaylin scoffed.

Victoria didn't want to argue.

"Well, if you say so. Since you liked him that much, I didn't mind yielding him to you."

"Thanks. I'm now Austin's girlfriend. We're getting engaged soon." Kaylin sneered with pride.
