After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 704

“When you were with Nathan, I didn’t feel this uneasy. And when you were with Ryan, I thought you were just going through the motions, living life like it was a game. After a lifetime of being held back by your emotions, 1 figured you wouldn’t fall for anyone so easily again. But with Edward… are you actually thinking about marrying him?” Jared’s voice carried doubt and a touch of melancholy, like he was seeing right through me all over again.

“Knock it off.” I snapped, yanking the contract out of his hand. “Jared, mind your own business and stop meddling in mine.”

“If you really go through with this marriage, what about Ryan? The woman he once loved would suddenly become his stepmom. You’d be running into each other all the time, especially at family gatherings and holidays. Victoria, are you really going to lock yourself up in a gilded cage like that?” Jared asked, his eyes dark and intense as he stared at me.

I avoided his gaze, feeling a pang of guilt, and clenched my fingers tight. “Relax. I’m not going to let myself get trapped like that.”

“I hope you know what you’re doing,” Jared said, tapping his fingers on the desk. “Out of these three guys, Nathan’s better than the other two for you.”

I turned back to look at him. “This isn’t some kind of test.”

“It is a test.” Jared retorted, getting a little heated. “You’re choosing who you want to be with, and what kind of life you want to live.”

Thanks for caring, but I know what I’m doing,” I said stubbornly, tossing my hair and turning to leave.

Honestly, I was only picking a fight with Jared because I was feeling insecure, Victoria thought to herself.

Leaning back in my office chair, I reminded myself that now wasn’t the time to get caught up in relationship drama–I should be focusing on leveling up my career.
