When Trevor returned home, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.
He pushed open the bedroom door and saw that the lights inside were still on. At that time, Victoria was dozing off on the sofa with the bunny in her arms, and she held her cell phone in one hand. There was a cup of milk on the mug warmer on the side table. Trevor's heart felt warm and he unconsciously slowed down his pace.
Just as he sat down, Victoria suddenly woke up and said, "Huh? Honey, you are home." Rubbing her eyes, she yawned involuntarily.
"Why didn't you sleep on the bed?" Trevor massaged her shoulders, and then picked up a bolster and put it behind her.
"I was waiting for you!" Victoria said.
Just when Victoria was about to say something, she suddenly smelled a pungent smell of alcohol and she scrunched her nose unconsciously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTrevor suddenly remembered something and said, "I had a gathering with Frederick and the others. I drank very little!" "I see..." Victoria said.
Victoria did not say anything as she picked up the milk from the mug warmer and tried it. It was already warmed, so she handed it to him and said, "Drink it! It will warm your stomach and dilute the alcohol!" She knew that he would not be careful when he went out! Trevor had never liked the taste of milk. He didn't even usually add creamer to his coffee. However, on that day, he gulped it down! "It's very late. Go and sleep on the bed! You don't have to wait forif it's too late next time..." Trevor said. Stroking her hair, Trevor couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. It was an unprecedented feeling, and he could not describe the joy in his heart.
"You left in such a hurry, how can I rest peacefully if you are not home? Hubby, is... is something wrong? Is it serious?" Victoria said.
Victoria didn't know where she stood based on their relationship then, but subconsciously, she still felt that the grievances between them were not serious. If she really had to make a choice, she would definitely do her best to help. Even if it was not for him, at least for Alicia's sake, she didn't want anything to happen to the Clements family! Trevor helped her to tidy her clothes, and held her in his arms. He said, "It's nothing! My uncle was so careless that he was almost being scammed of his shares. Dad didn't make it clear, and madenervous, too!" Trevor lowered his head to kiss her forehead, and said, "Don't worry! We have solved it! Withand Frederick around, nothing would be a problem! I will protect you well, I will try my best to give you serenity, and you can live a simple and peaceful life!" "Okay..." Victoria said. Rubbing against him, Victoria also smiled and said, "We are a family. If you need anything, you don't have to be shy!" In the past, she could not wait to see him dead, but then...
Victoria was also a little confused. It seemed like she blurted out those words without thinking.
That day was a day full of inexplicable ups and downs for the both of them. Even the thoughts that were once determined seemed to have been shaken by something.
At the female prison of Casterwich City Jail, Willy followed behind the warden. He frowned slightly and glanced at his assistant Lexx from the corner of his eyes and said, "I'm so unlucky!" If it was really her, it would be troublesome! Perhaps, he would have to find a way to get her out of prison! Lexx smirked and said in a low voice, "This is the only one left who has not been verified!" As their eyes met, Willy sighed, "I understand. If it isn't her, it will be even more troublesome. They'd have to continue the search among all the potential candidates!" Shaking his head lightly, Willy also becspeechless. How could he get into such trouble? At that time, there was a rustling sound in front of them. The warden looked through the nlist and the assistant on one side shook the keys.
"We're here, Mr. Bowles! Are you sure that it's Lauren Heady? The ID number is 245..." They just roughly knew the nand did not have any other information. Willy looked back and saw Lexx nodding his head. He then said, "That's right..." "Then, please wait for a moment!" The warden said.
Then, the warden signalled for the assistant to open the first floor. After that, they walked in while Willy and Lexx waited outside the inner door.
Willy poked his head in and only saw an empty room. A slender figure was sitting at the corner of the bed. When the warden entered, she slowly stood up.
"No. 418, Lauren Heady!" The warden called out.
After flipping the file in his hand, the warden looked at the woman in the prison. She frowned with slight dissatisfaction. Then, she pulled out a piece of paper from below and glanced at the questions on it. She took a few more steps inside and said loudly, "Now I have a few verifying questions. Please answer them honestly!" "Are you Lauren Heady?" The woman did not move, did not make a sound, and did not respond.
After pausing for three seconds, she continued, "Are you 26 years old this year?" There was still no response! "Are you the lecturer and the researcher of Casterwich Institute?" She asked a series of questions, one followed by another, but the woman didn't even move her eyebrows or make a sound.
After reading all the questions that should be asked, the warden was basically talking on her own, and didn't get any answers to the questions she asked. At that instant, she got a little angry and scolded, "Are you deaf or are you dumb? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn there, she was pretty much the boss and had never been ignored like that before. Especially that day, her r superior had particularly gave her sorders. However, she seemed to have cacross problems. She had been well-known for being strict, but she was being humiliated. The warden was obviously very unhappy, and her face gloomed.
At that time, the assistant on the side also shouted, " 418, are you looking for trouble? You should change your attitude after coming in here. Hurry up and answer the warden's questions!" The two middle-aged women looked just like mad women. They looked fierce and were both stocky, and exuded a terrifying aura at least at the first glance.
However, all the while, the woman just lowered her head like a corpse. It was unknown if she had heard it or not, but she just stayed quiet.
Both of them were angry, but they couldn't do anything about it. After all, the prison then was different from the past, and its management was very strict. They normally didn't dare to go too far. Moreover, they hadn't fully familiarized themselves with the newcomer, so they didn't dare to act recklessly. Therefore, for a long time, they were all being grumpy on their own. The warden picked squestions and asked again, but Lauren was still silent.
Willy watched from a distance outside the prison. He found the situation a little interesting and let out a cough.
The warden suddenly cto her senses, and then thought of something. She cout and said, "Mr. Bowles, look at this... Lauren
was transferred here less than a month ago. According to our records here, she caused an explosion while performing an experiment, which resulted in the accidental death of a staff. She has been sentenced to imprisonment for six years. I don't know if it is because she is still appealing, so she hasn't been incorporated into the official management yet. She is still so young. Perhaps, she is still unable to accept the reality, so she is acting like this..." х
