But her emotions quickly dissipated with Victor's next words.
Victor stood still, his deep gaze fixed on Leah, then calmly said:
"Before you, there was none."
"..."
The anger that had been building up in Lia's heart vanished instantly.
It's simple, Lia can't stay angry.
Because she has no right to be angry.
Are you angry that Henny is the other woman?
She herself had taken that position much earlier, and she had also betrayed her best friend.
Even she felt guilty in front of Gwen.
So if she were with Henne, it would be ironic to accuse Henne of being a philanderer.
Come on, the fact that Henne didn't retaliate by insulting her is already a sign of respect.
Strictly speaking, she and Henney both came to see Victor tonight with the same purpose.
Although Leah wished she could have Victor all to herself, the reality was that she couldn't.
Viktor has a legal wife, even though his wife is temporarily unable to spend the night with him due to health reasons.
Even though his wife accepted Leah's presence.
Nevertheless, Lia could only deceive herself with this reason, believing that creating a Viktor was merely her own fantasy.
But if another person appears who might also be liked by Victor, her carefully woven fantasy will easily shatter.
Even before news of Victor's plan to find Henney and bring her back arrived, Leah knew that this day would eventually come.
Because she had neither the grounds nor the reason to demand that Viktor refuse anyone,
She just still refused to accept this reality.
Now, whether it's Gwen's tolerance towards her or Henne's caution in her presence,
Lia knew it was time for her to come to her senses.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of footsteps approached her.
Hearing the voice, Lia was slightly startled, looked up, and met Victor, who had been standing by the wall.
At this moment, he stood in front of her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"You're right about one thing: I did leave the door open specifically for you."
Upon hearing this, Lia's mind went blank for several seconds.
After realizing what had happened, her cheeks instantly flushed crimson.
No, wait...wait a minute.
What did Victor mean by that? Could it be that he was actually looking forward to tonight...? No, Henne is still here!
Once those words were spoken, Hene understood everything!
That's not right either!
Lia suddenly realized an important fact.
That day, she and Gwen had an open and honest conversation in the room, and Henne was actually there.
This means... Henney already knew everything!
Realizing this, Leah's cheeks burned even hotter, and she felt so ashamed that she wished she could disappear into nowhere on the spot.
Lost in these thoughts, she lowered her head, letting her shoulder-length hair obscure her blushing face.
Now, Lia doesn't even dare to look Viktor in the eye.
Facing the current situation, the feelings of being family and the feelings of being lovers are completely different.
She dared not think about how Henny would view her now.
Her previous behavior might have seemed like a completely different matter to Henney.
Judging others by one's own standards, who knows if Hene is currently criticizing her a thousand times over in her mind.
Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, Lia dared not raise her head, feeling her body gradually weaken.
But soon, she felt a warm palm gently touching both sides of her cheeks.
Following the delicate contours of her face, he gently lifted her chin.
Under this gentle yet irresistible force, Lia unconsciously raised her head, guided by Victor.
Her eyes were fixed unsteadily on the man in front of her.
She stared intently at Viktor, unable to look away.
Noticing his slowly moving lips, he slowly opened his mouth:
"I cannot ignore the wishes of each and every one of you."
"So, when you get back, expel me from the family."
The next second, his presence drew near.
The slight dampness and warmth emanating from her forehead made Lia's eyes widen.
Then, Victor straightened up again, looked at Lia, whose face was flushed red as if she were about to explode, and said:
Good night, sweet dreams.
Immediately afterwards, a sudden gust of wind blew open the room's window, causing the glass to rattle against the wall.
A cool breeze drifted through the dim and quiet room, gently brushing against Viktor's body.
call--
In the blink of an eye, Viktor's black trench coat was once again draped over his body, appearing and disappearing in the shadows.
He put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked past Liya.
The crows in the room followed and flew out, landing quietly on Victor's shoulder.
Then, what Lia heard was the sound of the door closing.
She was slightly taken aback, then came to her senses.
Victor has already left the room.
She and Henne were still in the room.
She and the little fox in front of her exchanged a glance.
At that moment, Lia finally understood the real reason.
She was angry not just because she saw Henne,
Rather, it was because she couldn't accept that Viktor had kept this from her.
Victor told her tonight by leaving the door open that Henne had returned.
He also frankly admitted his relationship with Henney.
He is still the same Viktor, unchanged.
Just like the promise he made to her earlier.
Although Victor told her to expel the other person from the family.
But that sentence was actually meant for Lia.
'I will not intentionally hide any relationship with you.'
'So from this day forward, I am no longer a member of the Clavner family.'
'That way, you won't need to worry anymore.'
