Trapped In A Marriage I Never Wanted
Chapter 29: Warning

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Warning

Victoria kept her head down even though her husband was still holding her hand. If she thought about it more critically, she really didn’t deserve to marry Matthias in the first place. However, why did Matthias still keep eyeing her and forcing her to marry him now? If she were Matthias, she would be a little afraid to go against her parents’ wishes. Moreover, Amber was the perfect woman in his eyes, it was impossible for Matthias, a perfectionist CEO, not to be interested in a perfect and beautiful woman.

"Victoria, don’t say that. My mother has never approved of our relationship."

"If she doesn’t approve of our relationship, why should we keep it going?"

"But, I still want to maintain our relationship. Besides, we are still in a contract marriage. You can’t just cancel the contract all of a sudden."

Her head lifted slowly. "After our contract ends, will you still maintain our relationship?"

"Doesn’t this all depend on you too? If you truly love me, we can maintain our relationship. But, if you still don’t love me, I will return you to Ansel."

"Then, what about your mother’s message earlier? Will you obey her?"

"I won’t. I’ll just feel more uncomfortable if I treat Amber differently than usual. I just want to maintain our relationship as friends, not as lovers."

Victoria looked away again. Then, don’t disappoint me at Amber’s welcoming ceremony."

Actually, Victoria was still restless listening to Matthias’ mother’s words earlier. Because Matthias still had business to finish at night, she wanted to use the opportunity to talk to Jennifer to vent her frustration.

Jennifer was very curious why her best friend asked her out for dinner with the excuse that Matthias couldn’t accompany her. She was very sure that something had happened to her best friend again, especially seeing her best friend’s slightly gloomy expression.

"Did something happen again? This time Matthias tortured you?"

"Jennifer, now you have to be honest with me. Is it true that Matthias’ mother hated me for a long time?"

A harsh breath escaped her lips. "It’s true. Matthias’ mother hates you so much that even in the past, whenever you wanted to visit Matthias’ grandfather, you had to do it in secret."

"Matthias’ mother hates me so much because my stepmother often blackmails her?"

"You could say that’s one of the main factors." Jennifer patted her friend’s shoulder. "Did you meet her in person earlier?"

"No. But I heard what she said earlier when she was talking to Matthias. Until now, she still hates me very much and even forbade Matthias from dating me again."

Jennifer snorted in annoyance and folded her arms. "I think you are the best woman."

"If this continues, it looks like my mission to divorce Matthias will go smoothly."

"But, why do I feel like you are sad?"

Victoria rolled her eyes and laughed out loud. "I’m sad? Why would I be sad! I actually didn’t want to marry him from the start!"

"It seems more likely that your heart doesn’t want you to divorce. Even though you don’t remember anything, all the memories you created with Matthias are still imprinted in your heart." Jennifer held her best friend’s hands and put on a pitiful expression. "I suggest you don’t hate him too much. Later when it’s time for you to divorce, you will regret it very much."

"I still want a divorce. I deserve to marry Ansel more than Matthias."

"Don’t regret it like I did."

Victoria’s eyebrows lowered. Actually, she remembered Jennifer once telling her that she almost got engaged. However, the engagement was canceled because she had to work abroad, while her lover could not accompany her to work because he had to take care of the company in the country. That was what ended their love affair.

"Actually, I’m still curious until now. What is his actual job that he can’t accompany you."

"He is Matthias’s best friend."

Victoria’s eyes widened. "What?!"

"My boyfriend is the finance director at T&H Group. Sorry I forgot to tell you this important thing."

The world is indeed very small. However, can she use Jennifer’s ex-lover to get more information about Matthias’ activities while working at the office. She didn’t mean to stalk him, but since Amber’s presence kept sticking to Matthias, she felt increasingly disturbed.

"So, now you don’t want to go back to him?"

"Although I still communicate with him now, our relationship is not as close as it used to be."

"I’m sure your relationship will go back to how it was before."

"How do you know? Even your relationship with Matthias hasn’t returned. Even though I really look forward to your relationship being like before."

"Was my relationship with Matthias really that harmonious back then?"

Jennifer laughed out loud as she took a sip of her beer. "You’ll know when you truly love your husband. What I’m saying is, don’t mind what your stepmother says. If Matthias really doesn’t care about what his mother says, then he truly loves you."

Two days later...

Victoria and Matthias attended Amber’s welcoming event as the CEO of Deluxe Group. Because Victoria did not want their relationship to be known to everyone, she asked Matthias to drive her only to the venue lobby. While Matthias parked his sedan in the VIP parking lot that had been provided.

Victoria entered the venue alone wearing a black dress. Although the guests attending this party were not crowded because Amber only invited certain people, this actually made her even more nervous. Was Amber’s real purpose in holding this party just to show off her relationship with Matthias?

As she leisurely walked around the venue, she accidentally bumped into Amber who was wearing a red dress that was more luxurious than hers. She greeted Amber with a friendly smile.

"Amber, thank you for inviting me. It is an honor to be invited by you."

Amber smiled slyly. "Hope you enjoy the party. You can snack on cookies or cupcakes."

As the two of them stepped forward again, Amber purposely held the black skirt so that the back of Victoria’s dress split in two. Victoria immediately turned around and stared at her torn dress.
