Chapter 9 Victoria Was Shocked

"I'm sorry, Edwin. I know you are very busy, but I miss you so much. I want to see you very much. Could you spare some time to meet me again?"
Xenia's voice was so gentle and soft.
Edmund coldly raised his dense eyebrows.
He wanted to repay Xenia by marrying Xenia because Xenia saved his life, and he was conventional at heart...
Edmund and the girl both had their first time that night!
Moreover, Edmund thought the girl left a very good impression on him that night...
However, after seeing Xenia, Edmund couldn't feel the passion he had when he was with the girl that night.
What was worse, every time he heard Xenia's artificial voice, he couldn't help feeling some disgust in his heart.
"Edwin, I just want you to talk and go shopping with me, and it will just take you an hour, okay? I beg you."
Xenia tried her best.
According to her experience, no matter how aloof a man was, he couldn't resist a woman acting coquettishly.
However, Xenia didn't know that what she had done made Edmund even more disgusted.
However, thinking that Xenia saved his life and that he treated Xenia very cruelly that night, Edmund softened his cold heart and spoke indifferently.
"At a quarter past four in the afternoon, meet me at the place where we met last time. I won't wait if you are late."
"Okay, Edwin, thank you..." Before Xenia finished speaking, Edmund hung up.
...
Victoria took a taxi to the outpatient department of Best Medicine.
Victoria worked at the outpatient department of Best Medicine.
Victoria thought replacing Xenia to marry a man would embarrass her.
Therefore, Victoria did not inform her colleagues that she would be married. Instead, she had asked for three days of sick leave.
She would lose the wages for these three days.
Victoria originally planned to follow the customs of Seaside City and return to work in at least three days.
But now, it didn't matter.
After finding her mother, Victoria decided that she would not send her mother to a mental hospital and would rent a house to live with her mother. So she needed money...
And she had to go to work and earn money as soon as possible...
Today, Victoria was in charge of doing publicity activities outside the outpatient department. By the way, she sold some health care products and sex products.
Time went by fast. Soon, it was half past five in the afternoon. And it was time to get off work.
When Victoria took off her white robe and was about to leave, a gentle voice came from not far away.
"Oh, Victoria, why did you go to work right after you got married?"
Victoria suddenly felt sick.
Fortunately, her colleagues were not around and didn't hear Xenia's words.
"Go away and stop bothering me."
Victoria didn't even raise her eyelids.
"Victoria!" Xenia looked aggrieved.
"Alas, Edwin, my sister is spoiled by my parents. She treats everyone coldly as if the whole world owes her something. No hard feelings."
Hearing this, Victoria realized that something was wrong.
She raised her head and took a look. Then, she found that Xenia did not come alone. A tall man was beside Xenia.
The moment Victoria's gaze swept over the man, she felt a chill.
She raised her head a little higher and looked at the man's face. At this moment, she felt that her throat seemed to be locked, so she couldn't make a sound.
The man turned out to be Edmund!
In the world, twins looked very similar, and it was easy to mistake one for the other.
But Victoria was sure that she didn't mistake Edmund.
Even if there was someone in this world who looked exactly like Edmund, he wouldn't be as noble, cold, and charming as Edmund or had the same temperament that made women want to get close to him even if they knew it was dangerous.
Victoria realized that Edmund was not disfigured or disabled!
Yesterday, Victoria imagined what Edmund would look like when he stood up.
Now, she saw it with her eyes.
When he stood up, he looked more majestic and handsome than she had imagined.
But, he and Xenia...
"Victoria, this is my boyfriend, Edwin Hahn. Edwin, this is my elder sister. I have once told you about her."
Xenia raised her face high. She was showing off.
Victoria felt that some part of her heart seemed to have been hollowed out.
She had no extra emotions. But seeing Xenia's hand rest on Edmund's arm, she felt inexplicably annoyed.
"Edwin, it's the first time you meet my sister. Don't you shake hands with her or say something?" Xenia's delicate voice sounded again.
From the moment Edmund saw Victoria, he had been staring at her without blinking with his deep eyes.
Until now, he opened his thin lips, and his eyes were complicated.
"Hello, Victoria!"
"Hehe, hello..."
Victoria had mixed feelings.
She accidentally knocked a box of items on the sales counter to the ground.
It was a box of condoms for men. The small packets of them inside were scattered at Victoria's feet.
"Ah! What are you doing? It's so dirty!"
Xenia jumped up all of a sudden, and in the next second, she pretended to help Victoria to explain it.
"Edwin, in fact, in the eyes of doctors, men and women are the same. Moreover, my sister acts without restraint. Sometimes she will treat men with that kind of disease. It is common for her to touch various parts of men. So selling this kind of product means nothing."
Edmund remained silent, but his eyes, which were originally deep and cold, became terrifyingly colder.
Victoria wanted to explain it.
However, when she saw Xenia's hand on Edmund's arm, her stubbornness stopped her in an instant.
She just opened her lips, without saying a word, and then proudly closed them.
She didn't think she needed to explain it to Xenia's boyfriend!
Xenia had no idea that Edwin was Edmund.
Xenia only thought that Victoria's strange behavior was just because Victoria was jealous that she had a perfect boyfriend. So Xenia continued to add fuel to the fire.
"By the way, Victoria, I have good news. Edwin and I love each other. He said that he will marry me in a hundred days. Don't you congratulate us?"
Victoria instantly understood!
She knew that Edmund was going to marry Xenia in a hundred days!
So Edmund signed a hundred-day contract with her!
Victoria obviously shouldn't care.
But for some reason, her heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and the pain made her fingertips tremble continuously.
Victoria didn't show any sadness. She raised the corners of her mouth proudly.
"Edwin Hahn, right? Congratulations!"
"Thank you." Edmund didn't show any signs on his face.
But in his eyes, something was surging.
For some reason, every time he saw her nonchalant expression, he felt that his heart was stuffed full, making him inexplicably upset.
"Victoria, hurry up and get ready to get off work. Edwin and I will let you go." Xenia pulled Edmund away.
Victoria stood in place blankly and forgot what to do for a moment.
At this moment, a refined man wearing silver glasses jogged all the way to Victoria and put a bouquet of delicate red roses into her arms.
"Victoria, the girl of my dreams, please accept my gift. I love you!"
Edmund, who had already walked far away, stopped suddenly.
His eyes instantly became as dangerous and deadly as a blade.
