Chapter 696

Victoria took a kebab with veggies as her tiny nose wrinkled. Why was the fragrance gone? Was it her illusion? Was it not from him?

Victoria sniffed even harder and was confused. She just replied in a daze, "Yeah..."

She then bit her lip as her heart was still filled with doubt.

He also took a bite as well. As he put down the plate, he turned his head and obviously yawned tiredly. He then got himself a cup of iced coffee to refresh himself.

No matter how hard she tried to ignore it, Victoria eventually still noticed that. Just as she was about to say something, Alicia walked over with Frederick as they were joking around. "Vicki..." She said.

As soon as she approached, Alicia seemed to be suddenly pricked by something as her sensitive nose itched. She quickly turned around and covered her mouth and nose. "Achoo!" Alicia sneezed. "What's wrong? Are you cold?" Frederick asked.

Frederick took a piece of tissue and gave it to her. He then helped her tie up the wool coat on her

body.

At that moment, Victoria suddenly realized something. When Alicia had previously rushed up, she probably also smelled the pungent scent on Trevor!

That was because she clearly noticed that Alicia glanced at him right before she turned around. After all, she used to practice perfumery and was definitely more sensitive to these smells when compared to Victoria.

However, Alicia came back to her senses in just a split second. She rubbed her nose and then shook her head. "I'm fine! The smell of pepper is too strong!" Alicia explained.

As she spoke, she pointed to the grill pan at one side and changed the topic.

Men were more careless after all. They weren't used to paying attention to these details. As such, both of them didn't take it seriously. Alicia then said while holding onto Victoria's hand.

"Grandma has prepared New Year gifts for us!" Alicia exclaimed.

She then looked at Trevor again and said, "I'll borrow her for a while!"
