GoodReadVictor was already typing a message that he would send to Ivan when
Susan suddenly made such an unexpected remark.
He then stopped typing, raised his head, and squinted his eyes at Susan.
Obviously, he wasn’t amused.
The moment their eyes met, Susan felt a chill down her spine.
It was as if Victor could look through the depths of her being.
She actually felt numb, and she had a hard tmoving.
Just a few days ago, Victor was sent to the operating room and was in a critical condition.
But even though he wasn’t fully healed yet, his aura, and the intensity of his stare didn’t change at all.
Susan felt like she couldn’t breathe properly while Victor’s fierce gaze was focused on her.
Susan admired Victor, but she was also afraid of him.
Moreover, she was scared that he would see through her real thoughts.
“So, you don’t like the houses in Delmor Community? I still have a few sets of houses, and the Sullivan Group also has several real estate projects under construction.

He will help you obtain whatever property you like,” Victor said flatly, his eyes void of emotion.
“No.
You misunderstand me.” At this point, Susan summoned all her courage, looked at Victor, and said, “Although my family is not the richest in Apliaria, my parents will have no problem buying a house for me.
In short, I don’t really need your properties.”
Victor’s eyes darkened.
He didn’t want to dilly-dally so he asked straightforwardly, “Then, what exactly do you want?”
“I…” Susan paused and swallowed before continuing, “It will be my birthday in half a month.
Forget the houses.
Victor, I just… I just want to celebrate my birthday with you.
Will that be okay?’
After saying that, Susan stared at Victor’s eyes nervously.
She didn’t want to miss any subtle change in his expression.
“This is the last tI’ll ask anything from you.
Think of it as your parting gift as we end our cooperation that lasted for three years.
Victor, I’m not asking for anything else.
This is my only request.” Afraid that Victor would refuse without hesitation, Susan made sure that she said the right words.
However, while Susan looked at Victor’s dark eyes, she didn’t have any clue at what he was
thinking.
In fact, no one might be able to read his mind.
Nonetheless, Susan was determined to get what she wanted.
She wouldn’t leave Victor’s side until she got the reply that she was yearning for.
“Victor!”
Knock! Knock! Knock!
They were interrupted by a series of knock on the door, and the door was pushed open from the outside.
Then, a small hand holding the doorknob appeared, followed by a familiar small face.
“Cin.” The noise coming from behind the door caught Victor’s attention.
When he glanced at it, he saw the Little boy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithout a single trace of embarrassment on his face, Joey withdrew his hand from the door and walked in.
“Hello, Miss Salazar,” he greeted Susan with a smile.
Because of Joey’s sudden appearance, Susan wasn’t able to finish what she was saying.
She looked at the young boy’s innocent face, not knowing what to feel or say.
“Hi, little boy.
We met again.” Left with no other choice, Susan forced a smile.
Joey looked at Victor and then at Susan who had tears in her eyes.
“Have I interrupted you? I’m sorry, Miss Salazar.
I didn’t know you were here.”
If Susan didn’t see the slyness in Joey’s eyes, she would have believed that he was just an ordinary little boy.
It was not as if Joey was trying to hide the cunning look in his eyes.
He wasn’t afraid to get caught by Susan, who now figured out that he barged in on purpose.
That was right.
Joey knew that Susan was in the room with Victor.
She thought he might have heard their conversation and deliberately knocked on the door at a critical time.
