Chapter 914
"You don't know how long I've been searching for the whole night, just to look at a woman dressed in red. I don't know what day it is today, but no one is getting married!"
David Cruise? Why was he here?
It seemed like enemies were bound to meet in a narrow path.
Victoria felt a headache coming after listening to him ramble.
Their acquaintance was nothing but a pure coincidence.
One day, when Victoria arrived at her shop, she met a sickly young girl who was leaning against a tree near the doorstep. At first, she thought the girl was a crook. Later, Victoria saw that she was not in good health and looked like a student, so she kindly sent her to the hospital. Unexpectedly, the girl turned out to have acute appendicitis and had to have surgery. She couldn't contact her family at that time, so she had no choice but to sign the contract and pay the surgery fee.
While the girl was in surgery, Victoria phoned her father and he rushed over. He was none other than David.
Initially, she thought that she was just doing a good deed so she was extremely happy. However, she didn't expect that she would be entangled with him.
When he sent flowers to her every now and then, Victoria thought that it was just his way of expressing his gratitude to her. However, later on, she found out that he was divorced and had taken a liking to her.
People like him were usually problematic.
During this period of time, her biggest concern was that she couldn't do good deeds so casually. It was really troublesome! However, she had to admit that he had raised a good daughter. The young girl, Teresa Cruise, was a very good girl.
When Victoria thought about it, to be able to save Teresa's life, it was all worth it.
Holding his sweaty hand, Victoria frowned in discomfort and said, "Mr. Cruise, you don't have to be so generous. I was just doing the right thing!" She forcefully pulled her hand back and felt rather upset. The sticky feeling on her hand was disgusting. However, out of courtesy, she couldn't wipe her hand with a paper towel or wash her hand in front of him. As she shook her hand, she subconsciously avoided touching her surroundings and even the dress.
"I will not disturb you any longer. Goodbye, Mr. Cruise."
As she spoke, Victoria was ready to pay for the dress. As soon as she stepped forward, David blocked her path in a hurry. "Victoria, you can't leave yet! Let me treat you to a midnight snack. What do you say?"
He kept on pestering her while grinning cheekily.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"No matter what you say, you have to help me. You can't leave! Can't you just help me out? I'll go shopping with you. Gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, and ornaments, what do you like?"
"What are you doing? I'm going to change my clothes! Don't follow me!"
Uncomfortably, Victoria thought of something and turned around. She walked to the dressing room. Seeing this, the man became even more anxious and grabbed her hand again.
He said, "Victoria, you can't take it off, you mustn't! Listen to me, my company's stock will hit the market first thing tomorrow. I have found someone to give me a tarot reading. As long as I can meet a woman in red within these two days, my stock market will be successful! Look at me, for the stock market, I have changed all my undergarments and socks to red color. The master told me that a woman in red would be my
lucky star! As long as she is around me, I will be very fortunate!"
While saying this, David lifted the hem of his shirt as well as his foot to show his red clothing. Victoria squinted at him and felt extremely embarrassed. As soon as she broke free from his grasp, she took two big steps back.
"Mr. Cruise, you can easily pay someone to wear red clothes for you. You don't need me!"
Why was he so superstitious?
What nonsense!
No wonder he said he did not want to get married. He even said that he wanted to bump into a bride. If she were to be that very unfortunate bride, she would be so upset to have bumped into him!
"That wouldn't work. The master told me that we have to meet by chance! Sincerity is spirit. How can we deceive the gods?"
While muttering, David put his hands together and closed his eyes as if praying. As her eyes fell, Victoria discovered that there was a red bracelet on his wrist.
Was this a hidden place full of "redness"? If his theory was true, why did people have to work so hard? Why didn't they all just wear red clothes to buy stocks every day?
Victoria was rendered speechless. She only wanted to leave as soon as possible, but he seemed possessed. He walked around her stubbornly, and insisted,
"Victoria, we must be a match made
et
in heaven! Can you help me out? Don't leave me tonight. I'll take you to watch the night view, watch movies, or play cards. You can do anything! I'll accompany you on a shopping trip tomorrow. It'll be a better experience than shopping in a small store like this one. If you want to go shopping, we'll have to go to Itawa to buy famous brands!"
"You must be very lonely to spend the night by yourself, right? I know that women are very timid. You're afraid when the sky turns dark." "What's the point of you going back alone to face that cold and empty house? It would be better with two people talking and warming each other up, isn't it? We're both suffering from the same loneliness. I can listen to your complaints and help you get rid of your problems!"
"Women are like flowers. They not only need to dress up but also be nourished."
David pointed at the ground and chattered incessantly, but his words were getting more annoying. She felt harassed and became unhappy. She stopped and looked at him with a sneer.
"Suffering? Uncle Cruise, not only do you have bad eyesight but you also have some problems with your memories. I'm a newlywed, not a divorcee. Even if I want to be 'nourished', I would find a strong and young toyboy instead. There's no need for you to stick your head into my problems!" What was wrong with him?
Why did he think that she was lonely?
Raising her hand, Victoria pointed to the rows of red women's clothing on the side.
"If you really lacked a red charm, you
can find them over there. You could buy them all and stare at them day and night, no one would care! Also am your daughter's savior. Is this how you show your gratitude by making me unhappy? I'm sorry, but my husband is handsome, young, considerate, rich, and strong. I don't lack men. Have I made myself clear enough?"
Could he just stop pestering her?
At this moment, Victoria really regretted saving Teresa the other day. If she had pretended not to see Teresa and walked into the shop, all these wouldn't have happened.
However, she had stubbornly approached her!
Victoria deliberately called David "uncle". She wanted to draw a clear line between them so he could see it clearly. However, as soon as she finished speaking, he excitedly took a step forward and said, "Victoria, I truly care about you from the bottom of my heart! I like you. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! You are much more. beautiful than the people on fact, you should know that the
appearance and ability of the
are
not the most important. Love is the most important! A woman needs love! A young and impatient boy must have no experience. How could he possibly understand? Your husband must have another woman behind your back, so how can you
not feel lonely? You don't have to hide from me. My company is going to be successful, and you've given me the red charm that I've been seeking. How about this, you can accompany me until tomorrow, and I will give you 1% of the share. As
long as the price goes up tomorrow, there will be at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. Victoria, I..."
David walked towards her, his eyes burning with passion. He even reached out his hand to her.
