Chapter 450 She Was Jealous
Chapter 450 She Was Jealous
She rubbed her eyes and checked the time. It was already half past four in the afternoon.
She got up and walked out of the room. When she saw Charlie Peck picking up the invitation card from
the table and checked it curiously.
"Your friend came here at noon. This is for you."
Victoria said this lazily and turned back to go back to her room.
Charlie Peck looked at her, put down the credit card, and asked, "You didn't go out today?"
Victoria said grumpily, "Didn't you tell me not to go around?"
In fact, she just felt a little sleepy and had no interest in the scenery here, so she was too lazy to go
out.
However, Charlie Peck suddenly smiled frivolously.
He seemed to be very satisfied with her obedience.
After taking off his coat and throwing it aside, he sat down on the sofa and waved to her. "Come here."
Victoria squinted at him.
After a while, she slowly walked over.
She stopped in front of him. Charlie Peck suddenly took her hand. The next second, a cold object was
put on her wrist.
Victoria felt a chill run down her spine and instantly lost her sleepiness.
He raised his hand and saw an exquisite bracelet inlaid with three star-shaped lake-blue gems.
Although it was not luxurious, it was fresh and beautiful. Judging from the workmanship alone, it must
be valuable.
She was a little stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Charlie Peck said calmly, "They gave it to you. It's called the Star of the Milky Way. If you think it's
suitable, you can take it back."
"Oh."
Victoria paused and said, "Is there anything else? I'll go back to my room if there's nothing else."
Charlie Peck waved his hand.
Victoria turned around and walked to the bedroom.
He entered the room and closed the door.
In the space that only belonged to her, the originally calm face suddenly moved slightly. The corner of
her mouth was uncontrollably raised. She raised her hand and carefully looked at the bracelet on her
white wrist.
The blue gemstones were embedded on the platinum bracelet. Upon closer inspection, there seemed
to be a faint light flowing through the gems. They are so beautiful!
Something inexplicably soft in his heart slowly grew.
At this time, the voice of Charlie Peck came in through a door.
"Stop sleeping. Dress up and go out for dinner with me."
Victoria put down her hands and suddenly remembered something. Just as she was about to speak, he
added, "Only the two of us."
Just as she was about to say something, she immediately swallowed it back.
After a while, she said, "Okay."
They went downstairs together and went to an open-air restaurant in the villa for dinner.
Halfway through the meal, Victoria suddenly felt a burning gaze behind her. She could not help but turn
her head.
Marilyn was sitting not far away from them, surrounded by a group of young men and women. Judging
from their clothes alone, it could be seen that they were a group of people who specialized in art. She
could vaguely hear what she said, which were also some artistic topics.
Victoria smiled politely at her.
However, Marilyn did not react, which was rarely seen. She stared at the bracelet on her wrist.
She looked back at Charlie Peck in confusion.
Meanwhile, Charlie was still eating the steak gracefully, as if he didn't notice Marilyn not far away.
After a while, Marilyn came over.
"Charlie, what a coincidence! You're also here for dinner?"
It seemed that Charlie Peck had just noticed her. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, saying,
"Yes. Are you having a party with friends?"
Marilyn nodded and smiled softly. Her thin body looked even more pitiful with that smile.
"Will you come tonight?" She asked with her tone full of expectation.
Victoria didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that at that moment, Charlie Peck frowned slightly.
Then he nodded. "What time is it?"
The joy on Marilyn's face could hardly be concealed. "Nine o'clock."
"Okay! I'll go."
"Then I'll wait for you."
After that, she took a deep look at Charlie and then glanced at Victoria next to her. Without stopping,
she turned around and walked back.
Victoria was completely ignored from the beginning to the end.
She even did not understand what had happened to this person!
When they left after dinner, Marilyn was still eating happily at the table. The gentle and weak woman
was surrounded by a group of strange-looking men and women. She laughed in a low voice. It should
have been a very strange picture, but it looked very harmonious actually.
Charlie Peck took her hand and said, "What are you looking at? Let's go!"
Only then did Victoria react when she was pulled out by him.
The sight behind her had always been hot, like a needle, which made her very uncomfortable.
Instead of returning to the hotel, they went to a natural lake in the villa to row.
The lake was very clear, and one could vaguely see all kinds of small fish swimming. At a glance, one
could tell that the environmental protection here was very good. They sat on the wooden boat and
rowed all the way to the center of the lake before stopping. Looking around, one could see distant
mountains. In addition to the cool wind in the evening, they felt very comfortable.
Victoria lay prone on the bow of the ship, stretched out her hand, and scooped up a handful of lake
water. She miraculously scooped up a red goldfish, which made her extremely happy.
"Hey! Look, I caught a small fish."
Charlie Peck put down the paddle, squatted down beside her, and smiled faintly.
"Do you want to bottle it?"
"Of course!"
Once the child's heart was aroused, Victoria would become particularly excited.
Seeing this, Charlie Peck did not say anything. He quickly returned to the cabin and took a bottle of
mineral water. After he opened the bottle cap and poured the water out, he put another half bottle of
lake water in it and let her put the fish in.
"Quick! Let's see if we can catch a few more."
Victoria, who had tasted the sweetness of it, was obviously aroused. She leaned on the bow of the ship
and float in the lake.
Charlie Peck didn't stop her. He didn't talk much today. He sat next to her, holding the bottle and
watching quietly.
But it had been a long time since he got the fish again.
In fact, this kind of fish was flexible and small, and the lake was so big that it was very difficult to catch
a fish with only his hands. Just now, he was just lucky to get one. Victoria naturally understood it, so
even if she found nothing in the end, she was not too depressed.
She was tired of playing, so she also sat down at the bow of the ship like Charlie Peck and stretched Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
out her limbs comfortably.
"It's really comfortable here. I feel relaxed as soon as I come out."
Charlie Peck nodded. "You've worked hard these days. Have a good rest these days."
Victoria was stunned. Only then did she remember that she had not relaxed like this for a long time.
She couldn't help frowning when she thought of the strange behavior of Marilyn just now.
"What's the relationship between that woman and you? Why do I always feel that she likes you?"
There was no special expression on Charlie's face. He just glanced at her lightly.
"So?"
Victoria widened her eyes.
"Are you jealous?"
Her expression changed. After a while, she snorted.
"Nobody is jealous."
However, he was still in a bad mood.
Charlie Peck explained, "Her father used to do me a favor. I just didn't want to embarrass her for her
father's sake. It's impossible for her to do anything else. Besides, we haven't seen each other for many
years and she has her own fiance. The reason why he agreed to go today is that he had promised her
father that he would help her when necessary, but it doesn't mean that we have other possibilities."
