At first, Garnett was skeptical.
But every time Victoria shared these stories, her eyes would shine, her voice filled with an undeniable sweetness and joy. Over time, Garnett came to believe her.
So, after hearing Victoria say they’d only had a small ar Holtment, Garnett said earnestly, “Victoria, when a couple lives together for a long time, fights are inevitable. As the saying goes, ‘never let the sun set while a disagreement is unresolved.’”
“It’s just that you’ve always been stubborn, unwilling to be the first to yield, always waiting for Elias to apologize. That’s not good. Sometimes, you should be the one to say something gentle. Men, you know, a little coaxing and they’ll forget all about it. Who’s right and who’s wrong doesn’t matter, as long as it’s not a matter of principle.”
Victoria lowered her gaze, hiding the sadness in her eyes.
‘You’ve always been stubborn.’
If this were two years ago, before The Sanger Group’s crisis, before she married Elias, then yes, Victoria was indeed stubborn and unyielding. After all, she was the adored princess of The Sanger Group, the center of the capital’s elite circle, and her every move exuded a captivating pride.
But now, her sharp edges had long been worn smooth. She wasn’t like that anymore.
Especially in front of Elias. The one who always yielded, always apologized, and always had to comfort herself… was her.
Victoria simply nodded. “Mm,” she murmured, not wanting to continue the conversation and risk revealing the truth. She made up a quick excuse, “Dad, I’ll go get him first. He has a sensitive stomach and can’t drink too much. I’m worried he’ll get a stomachache if he’s drunk.”
Garnett, hearing this, dropped the subject of their fight. “Yes, yes, go quickly. You two should have a good talk tonight. Mr. Flint is here with me, so you don’t need to come back.”
Victoria heard him but didn’t reply. She walked out of the hospital room and took the elevator to the underground parking garage.
***
Ten minutes later, Victoria was sitting in the driver’s seat. She dialed Hawk’s number.
She had agreed to go for her father’s sake, but she had no actual intention of picking Elias up.
“We’re sorry, the number you have dialed has been switched off.”
The sweet, automated voice came through the phone as soon as the call connected.
