Chapter 83

Christian grunted softly as his eyes swept across Victoria’s pale face and chapped lips and frowned slightly.

“It’s almost 1.00PM. Are you hungry?” Vincent looked sternly at Christian before walking over to his sister with the two takeaways. “They’re your favorite, but it’s been a while, so they aren’t warm anymore. Take a bite or two to fill your stomach while I order something else.”

Evelyn smiled at the siblings and said, “I heard that Vincent loves his wife and his sister. So the rumor is true.”

“Thank you, V—Mr. Coleman.” Victoria was just about to call her brother Vincent when she saw Christian from the corner of her eyes. “But I no longer like eating these anymore.”

Even though Vincent was dumbfounded by what Victoria called him, he simply threw the two takeaway bags to the side and said, “Tell me what you like then, and I’ll order them for you. If the restaurant doesn’t have takeout, I’ll go there and buy the food.”

“I’m fine, Mr. Coleman.” Victoria looked up and gave Vincent a discreet wink to signal him to shut up. However, the small movements between the two and Victoria’s immense fear of Christian did not escape Evelyn’s eyes. She tucked her hair behind her ears and sighed inaudibly.

Vincent saw his sister’s wink and understood what she meant. He would have endured it and stopped talking had it been two years ago. But the pent-up anger and guilt that he had been suppressing for two years surged in his heart. The fact that his sister was forced to act in such a way added fuel to the fire and almost made him lose his sanity.

“Don’t be afraid of him!” Vincent clenched his fists tightly—the blue veins on his neck could be seen clearly, and his face was bleak. “I’m no longer one of the Thatchers, and you, Christian, can no longer use the interests of the Colemans to coerce me anymore!” As he spoke, he put himself in front of Victoria, essentially protecting her. “Tori, don’t be afraid. I will never leave you again!”

Victoria took a deep breath, tugged the corner of her brother’s clothes with her trembling hands, and shook her head vigorously at him. As much as she tried to utter a word, her throat was tight as if a sponge had stifled her.
