Chapter 18
The originally warm atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The waiter held the rose in his hand, neither advancing nor retreating.
Seeing that Victor remained silent for a long time, the waiter finally left quietly.
But this did not affect Kaleigh, she still sent a bouquet of roses to his studio every day.
Every single rose was thrown into the trash bin before it even entered.
At another art exhibition, Kaleigh specifically stopped him and wanted to ask Victor why he didn’t accept his flowers.
Victor looked at him for a long time and suddenly smirked sarcastically.
After being married for at least five years, she surprisingly didn’t know him at all.
“Because I didn’t like you, I also didn’t like everything you gave me.”
“Kaleigh, why can’t we part ways amicably? I divorced you. Shouldn’t you be the happiest one?”
She took a deep breath, her eyes shimmering like a broken pool of starlight, her voice trembling,
and instinctively reached out to grab his hand.
“No, Victor, I didn’t feel happy about divorcing you, I…”
“I had already gotten used to having you in my life, no, it was only after you left that I realized you
were the one I truly liked, Dorian, Dorian. My feelings for him were only born out of youthful
discontent, and now he’s gone too. Why can’t we go back to how things were?”
Victor’s eyes flickered with a momentary daze.
Every day used to be torture for him, and he didn’t want to go back to the past at all.
He dodged her hand by leaning to the side, and his voice also turned colder for a moment.
“Kaleigh, listen to what you just said yourself. You were only used to me, like a nanny, except other
nannies wouldn’t go as far as I did for you, even sacrificing my life.”
“Do you really realize that you liked me? Do you listen to these words and believe it yourself?”
Kaleigh’s face also turned pale, since he entered the McCann family at the age of eighteen, he had
never seen her in such a gloomy moment.
Kaleigh has always been arrogant and condescending.

Now his face looks so ugly, but it’s only because he didn’t go along with his words like before, but directly pierced through his most genuine thoughts.
He didn’t look at her again and turned away.
Just as he stepped out of the studio, he suddenly received a call from Kassandra.
When it comes to Kassandra, Victor is filled with gratitude in his heart.
After all, it was Kassandra who gave herself an opportunity to repay the favor. At that time, Victor
had just started college and had very little money left after paying the tuition fees.
Victor also did not want to owe the McCann family, so he repaid the money they had invested in him
over the course of five years.
Undoubtedly, it was the best method.
In terms of emotions and reason, he had to go and visit Kassandra.
Leonel looked at him with concern.
“You and the McCann family have already settled your differences, there is no need to go back to
the McCann family. What if the McCann family troubles you again?”
After being adopted, Leonel’s foster parents also exposed him to many things in the upper class and
taught him many truths.
There were more ways than just this one for Kaleigh to heal from her emotional wounds, but
Kassandra insisted on asking a boy to give up his own future and waste five years of his education in
a marriage.
It was really disgusting.
Leonel was right after all.
Kassandra and Victor exchanged greetings and then shifted the conversation to Kaleigh, constantly urging him to give Kaleigh another chance.
Leonel was actually right. Kaleigh’s emotional pain was caused by himself and Dorian, yet he insisted on having this innocent person pull him out of it. He lost his studies, his future, and his
freedom.
It was still called repaying a favor, making him endure five years of wasted time and expecting him to be grateful to the McCann family.
There is no such good thing in the world.

Actually, he didn’t want to do it in the first place. If he could have successfully finished college and studied abroad, just a year or two later than receiving the McCann family’s support, he would have been able to repay it along with the interest.
Kassandra was just too doting on her daughter and couldn’t bear to see Kaleigh suffer even a little,
so she couldn’t wait to bring him down.
My daughter’s life should not be ruined because of this trivial matter, but nobody really cares if his
life is ruined or not.
