Chapter 211: Chapter 211



He tidied himself up. Then, he went downstairs and saw Jolene standing alone in the living room.

He hesitated for a moment because he didn’t know how to face her.

After all, the man last night was her husband.

She didn’t know what their relationship was like, but she could sense that the man still cared about her.

Jolene withdrew her gaze. She turned and saw the woman standing on the stairs.

She froze for a moment, wondering how long Victoria had been standing there and if she had overheard the conversation between her and Jayden.

“How long have you been standing there?” Jolene frowned slightly as she asked.

Victoria came down the stairs, “I just came down.”

Jolene nodded, “Come over for dinner.”

Victoria didn’t want to be with her because she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. “When can I come back?”

Jolene looked at her for a few seconds and then said lightly, “In the future you will live here.”

“What?” Victoria could no longer keep her cool. Did she mean she would have to face this couple all the time?

So what was her identity?

A concubine in ancient times?

Her heart pumped rapidly. This awkward relationship was truly unacceptable.

Jolene seemed to know what was on his mind, then said, “I’m moving back in with my family recently, so you can live here to your heart’s content and take care of him for me.”

Victoria looked at Jolene and couldn’t help but speak her mind, “I can see that your husband loves you very much. If all you need is a child, I’ve promised you I can…”

“Do what you’re supposed to do.” Jolene interrupted her because she didn’t want to listen to her lecture, “Sit down and eat.”

Jolene’s expression calmed a little and she let her sit down, “My husband and I are married in the family interest, so we have no feelings for each other.”

Victoria looked at Jolene in surprise. She hadn’t expected her to suddenly confess this matter to her.

In fact, Jolene told Victoria that this was to put her mind at ease.

“But…”

“This tastes good.” Jolene pushed the canned pork and egg rice porridge toward her forehead, “Taste it.”

She deliberately interrupted Victoria and didn’t want to hear her next words.

Jayden was treating her very well. She knew that, but feelings couldn’t be forced.

She already had someone she loved, and it was impossible for her to stay with Jayden.

This was also the reason she was trying hard to find a good woman for him.

She hoped that there could be a good woman who would stand by Jayden’s side. A woman who would be willing to take care of him and adore him.

With that, Victoria stayed at the villa. Jolene had arranged everything, even the smallest things, like the kitchenware, were ready for her.

Jayden did not return during the week she stayed at the villa.

Instead, Victoria felt relaxed living in a space without Jolene and Jayden’s presence.

She insisted on walking around the courtyard after dinner to digest the food and passed the time as usual. The days he lived in the villa were also quite boring, so all he could do was stroll around the courtyard.

This was also the most relaxing time for her.

In the evening, she went back to shower after her walk as usual. Then, she went to bed and read a book until eleven o’clock before going to sleep.

As she put the book down and prepared for sleep, she heard movement downstairs. Normally, the house would be very quiet at that hour and the servants would already be resting.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. Who would be here at this hour?

She got out of bed, opened the door and went out to see what was going on downstairs. He saw a servant supporting Jayden, who was wearing a black shirt. His suit was simply slung over his shoulders and his face was slightly red. It was obvious that he was in a state of inebriation. He looked toward the living room and said hoarsely, “Where is he?”

The maid answered truthfully, “The lady went to her mother’s and said she wouldn’t be back for a while.” Jayden froze at first, then smiled.

Even though Victoria was quite far away, he could still sense the bitterness in her smile.

She went downstairs and helped the maid prop him up so he could lie down on the couch, “Go get him a blanket.”

“Okay.” Replied the maid.

Victoria went to the kitchen and prepared a cup of honey water. Then, she went over to help him up, “Drink some honey water, it will make you feel better.”

He lifted his eyelids slowly. A blurry figure appeared in front of him. It was a delicate face with a pair of clear eyes. However, this face was completely unfamiliar to him.

“Who are you?” he seemed to have forgotten everything about that night.

Or maybe it was because he was drunk and his memory was a mess.

Victoria’s face instantly went white. Her hands were shaking and she didn’t know how to answer him.

At that moment, the maid returned with a blanket. Victoria handed the honey water to the maid and said, “Feed her this.”

The maid reached out to take the glass, but Jayden waved his hand and knocked it over. With a loud crash, the glass fell to the floor and shattered instantly, which rang loud and clear in the quiet night.

“I ask you again, who are you?” Jayden staggered as he stood up, staring into Victoria’s face.

“You’re drunk.” Victoria lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye. She looked toward the maid and said, “I’ll leave this place to you.”

After saying that, she intended to leave, but Jayden grabbed her wrist and pulled her over the couch. He caught her off guard and she fell so hard onto the couch that her eyes saw stars. When she came to her senses, she realized that he was standing and staring at her.

His eyes were not clear. The smell of alcohol came to her senses, as strong as if it had just come from a vat of wine. This made Victoria feel that he really drank a lot of wine.

And he was also really drunk at the moment.

Her heart, which was racing, began to finally calm down, “I’m your new maid, you’re drunk…” Before she could finish her words, the man on top of her collapsed and fell on top of her suddenly.

He was tall and very heavy. Victoria’s face changed instantly. She used all her strength to “escape” him.

The maid handed her the blanket, and Victoria reached out and took it. She covered him with the blanket.

He was too heavy and too drunk at the time. Therefore, it would be impossible for her and the maid to carry him upstairs. So tonight he could only sleep on the couch.

After covering him with the blanket, Victoria let the maid go to rest first, while she cleaned up the broken pieces of glass on the floor and the water splashed all over the floor.

The maid nodded and left. She didn’t know who she was, but the mistress had ordered her to treat this woman as her master.

So the maid heeded her.

Victoria cleaned the floor. It was past midnight, the man who was already asleep, began to mutter constantly, “Water, water …”
