Chapter 6
With such confusion, he returned home holding the drawing board.
As soon as I got out of the car, the servant of the villa came up to greet me, with a face full of joy of surviving a disaster, and several of them almost cried.
“Sir! Sir, you have finally returned. These days, you haven’t been at home, and everything has been in chaos. Ms. McCann is not satisfied with everything we have done and has been angry for several
days…”
Upon hearing the words, Victor finally understood.
I was not used to it without his care.
But she should have gotten used to it, after all, he would soon be leaving for good.
For the rest of her life, she would have to live without him.
Victor comforted the servant for a moment, then walked into the villa, only to find that there was no light on inside.
Kaleigh sat alone on the sofa, with the moonlight streaming in through the window, intermittently casting shadows that obscured her handsome features.
Hearing footsteps, the woman finally lifted her head, staring at him intently for a long time, with a
hint of displeasure suppressed in her words.
“Where have you been these days?”
He took off his windbreaker and spoke lightly, “I went to the mountains to gather inspiration,”
The woman furrowed her brows and asked, “Why are you suddenly interested in painting?”
It was not sudden. He was already a top student in the art department.
If it weren’t for repaying a debt, he would have gone abroad for further studies long ago and become an excellent painter.
But he didn’t tell Kaleigh about these things, he just picked up his water glass and took a casual sip.
“I suddenly felt like drawing.”
Seeing this, Kaleigh pressed his forehead and said, “I didn’t intentionally leave you behind during the fondue incident. It’s just that Dorian has been pampered since childhood and is afraid of pain. Even a small scratch would bleed for a whole day. I have been taking care of him since we were

young, so I took him to the hospital first.”
“And you were also against it at that time, so why are you making a fuss and running away from home again? Dorian’s house has been renovated and we moved out from here. Don’t get angry over such trivial matters in the future.”
In the end, there was a hint of accusation in his tone.
It is unclear whether it is blaming Victor for running away from home or blaming him for his lack of generosity, which caused his loved one to move out of their house earlier.
But Victor didn’t care anymore. He responded perfunctorily, put down the water cup, and was about to go upstairs.
“Victor!”
He turned around and saw the woman on the sofa standing up.
“I was hungry, give me a bowl of pasta.”
Victor continued to raise his bandaged left hand, “Did you forget that my hand was also injured?”
Kaleigh gave a slight startle.
But Victor didn’t pay attention to his reaction and turned around to go upstairs.
That day, as soon as he came out of the room, a set of expensive jewelry was presented before his eyes.
He raised his eyes and looked at Kaleigh in confusion.
Kaleigh coughed and said, “Last time during the fondue, I was busy taking care of Dorian and didn’t have time to pay attention to you. This is compensation.”
Victor looked at the emerald ring in the box, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
It has been five years, exactly five years.
This was the first time she gave herself a gift.
But it was in order to compensate, to compensate for him being busy taking care of his beloved, and neglecting himself.
He suddenly remembered the pile of carefully prepared gifts for Dorian in his study, a wave of mockery surged up in his mind, but he instantly suppressed it.

He never had any expectations for extravagant gifts, and now he doesn’t need them either.
Seeing that he didn’t take it for a long time, she didn’t think much of it and just assumed that he
didn’t like it.
“I have been busy with Dorian’s matters recently, so I had my assistant pick the most expensive one at the auction. If I don’t like it, then…”
Kaleigh had not finished speaking when Gabriela’s voice came from outside the door.
“Dorian, I have already told you that my sister likes you so much. You shouldn’t have moved out, and even if you did, you should have come to visit my sister more often.”
She pulled Dorian in while exclaiming in excitement upon seeing the ring on his hand.
“Oh my goodness, bro, Dorian just mentioned to me that he really liked this ring, I never expected you to actually buy it!”
After speaking, he glanced at Dorian beside him, his eyes filled with envy.
Dorian blushed instantly upon hearing the words and shyly lowered his head.
Seeing the hesitation in Kaleigh’s eyes, Victor didn’t even think twice and directly took the jewelry box from her hand and handed it to Dorian.
“Since it was bought for you, then please accept it.”
In one sentence, a decision was made for Kaleigh, resolving her dilemma.
This was the first time Kaleigh’s gaze did not fall on Dorian, but instead couldn’t help but look at
Victor.
For some reason, Kaleigh felt a bit uncomfortable for the first time as she watched him being generous.
I always felt that he was different from before.
She couldn’t explain exactly what was different.
