Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1719

......

Everyone in front of her here was someone she loved more than anything in the world. If one day, they found out the truth, how would they react?

Would they hate her? Would they understand how hard it had been for her or would they despise her for not being honest?

Perhaps they would expose her out of anger.

If she came clean, she had no idea what they would think. However, she knew one thing for sure was that the smiles and warmth she saw before her right now would disappear.

More than anyone else, Victoria understood how much pain and suffering the truth could bring.

Her mind was extremely heavy. With every step, Victoria seemed to be walking on the edge of a knife, and her heart was bleeding. "I really don't want everyone I care about to go through the torture I did. The longer they stay in the dark, the longer they can be happy."

Immersed in her thoughts, listening to the chatter, Victoria's eyes were full of smiling faces. Even if there were tears, they could not hide the joy.

Suddenly, she felt a light shove. Victoria snapped back into reality and instinctively turned to look at Trevor next to her.

Just then, Veronica asked, "Victoria, what's wrong? Why are you so absent-minded? Your mother-in-law is asking you a question!"

"Huh?"

Shaking her head, Victoria smiled dryly and quickly readjusted her thoughts. "I'm sorry, I... I am a little tired from rushing to the plane and the jet lag! Mom, what did you just say?"

"Victoria, where have you been these days? Did you guys... Did Trevor do something to you? Your mom and I are like sisters. We won't protect him if he's in the wrong. Just tell us. I won't listen to Trevor. Both of us are here now, so just tell us what happened. There's nothing we can solve!"

Endless warmth rose in Victoria's heart, and her heart was pounding more intensely. Her lips trembled several times as she struggled to speak. At this time, a gentle low voice came to her ear.

"Yes, go ahead! I want to know why you left so suddenly as well."

Trevor's voice was very light and soft, and even a little humble. However, Victoria looked into the bottom of his eyes and saw gloominess, indifference, and ruthlessness. It was a stark contrast to the concern the four elderly people had for her in the room. Two different strong forces burst out from the depths of her heart. Suddenly, a thought arose in her mind.

She recalled what Trevor had said to her, "I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how to act around the dinner table, right?"

She looked into his eyes again and was more and more certain of her guess. As her fingers pierced into her palm, she could only narrow her eyes.

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I was too reckless! Trevor... He didn't do anything wrong. I think the work stress has gotten to me and I lost my mind briefly. I just needed to get away to have some space to myself. I'm sorry!"

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became. Victoria felt more guilty and nervous than ever. She didn't want to say that, but she had to do so because of Trevor's threat. She knew that Trevor was not joking, and at this time, his eyes seemed gentle, but he was staring at her with hostility.

"You are really a child. You can tell your family that you need some time off! How can you leave without saying a word and disappear off the grid? What if something happens? You're so childish! You've been spoiled by your father! Do you know how much we worry about you?"

Veronica stared at her daughter. Her expression was filled with sympathy and disappointment. She didn't want to call Veronica out in front of everyone.

Instead, she said, "It has been half a year since your disappearance! Fortunately, your in-laws are mature and reasonable people, or else we would have thought that there was something wrong with your relationship. This time, they came back to negotiate a divorce! Look at how serious things have gotten. We already asked Trevor to proceed with the filing. He's already submitted it. He came back specifically to handle this. By now, the divorce papers are already being processed. If it wasn't for the fact that Trevor informed us and came to pick us up, we would have no idea that you were back. You've caused so much trouble in our peaceful lives!"

As she scolded Victoria for her actions, Veronica was anxious and angry, and her face changed. "I don't even know what to say to you now. Look at..."

Deep down, even without considering the closeness between their two families, she still hoped that the marriage could continue. However, at this point, it was a little too late to turn back. As the parent of the person who had made a mistake, she did not dare to speak up and ask for anything. From her actions, her regret and anger were made clear.

At this time, Amanda looked at Veronica before looking over to Trevor with a burning gaze.

"It's not easy for two people to get together. For you two to get married, was fate. Although she is supposed to live with her husband, she has to leave her parents. The first few years of marriage always have a few bumps along the way."

The implication was that she hoped that they could be reconciled.

In her memory, her mother had never said such serious words to her since she was a child. How could she not know how her mother was feeling? She instantly understood why her mother appeared at the door of the court and why Trevor came up with those rumors as well as cut her parents off. He must have had something up his sleeves.

It was normal to feel wronged or upset at being criticized. She lowered her eyes and admitted her fault. At the same time, she felt a hint of joy welling up in her heart. "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Since the divorce papers have already been filed..."

She decided to just make the best of the situation.
