Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Alright, don't worry about me. I won't get lost in your territory!"

After taking off her coat, Victoria settled down in a discreet place. She casually threw the notebook onto a single sofa in the corner nearby. That must be where she chatted with Holger. There were two single sofas and a small tea table. It was an individual area separated by an aisle, much to her convenience. Upon seeing the lively and calm Victoria, Trevor was half relieved. He fondled her hair with much love and affection as he spoke to her.

"Well, if you need anything, I'll be at your service!"

After nagging her about some important office areas, Trevor took a glimpse at his watch and finally left. Victoria turned on the computer and gaped at the unfamiliar screen. She had nothing to do. His office was so much different from hers, even his computer lacked the applications and software she required. In the end, Victoria could only log into a chatting application.

A thought suddenly hit her. She picked up her phone and called her mother. They chatted for almost half an hour, "Mom, I'll visit you and Dad after you come back from your vacation-"

Initially, she wanted to invite her parents over to her place for a while, but she eventually decided against the idea. She didn't want to worry or involve them in her problems.

"Do you miss us? Fine, once your father resolves this ball game stuff, we'll go visit you! Of course, we'll be quick. If you bear a child, your father and I must be nearby to take care of you, but right now we've got our hands full! How's life with Trevor? Any signs of life in your belly?"

That was the most troublesome matter that comes with marriage. Last time she had injured herself, so she didn't need to refuse or evade the matter that much since no one was forcing her anyways. Despite that, Victoria doubts that she could dodge it now, even though she felt like Trevor wasn't planning on becoming a father. He even used protection last night!

With the thought in mind, she couldn't stop herself from feeling touched. Trevor showed much more tolerance on this matter compared to most people. Perhaps it was because of her reasonable parents-in- law, or maybe it was for the sake of her mother, he never pressured her into carrying a child for him. Additionally, her sister-in-law, Alicia Blanchard, had spoken to Mrs. Clements on her behalf. Even Grandma didn't urge her into having a baby. She wasn't sure if it was because of the passing of time or due to Clinton Clements, after marrying into this wealthy family, she had been living a considerably easy life! Furthermore, she felt like the elders weren't that obsessive about this matter anymore. In the past, all they could talk about was the continuity of their family's bloodline.

to that, Trevor's minute mistake was suddenly

We're an old couple, but without the time we spent together in the past few decades, we wouldn't have made it this far. Do you remember our neighbor, Mr. Campbell? In the public's eyes, he did live a 'meaningful' and 'accomplished' life. He even had children of his own, but at what cost?

That's what happens when you don't live your life properly! Now he can't move and he wants his children and wives back, but who's willing to care for someone who is on the brink of death?

for a while, she finally hung up the phone. Chattering with her mother helped Victoria relax. She sat back and
