Jill didn’t change much over the past two years. She was still a plump yet jolly woman, all smiles.

When she saw Victoria entering her store, she was stupefied for a while before she rushed to her with surprise and distress. “Tori, when were you released? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Jill held Victoria’s hand with one hand and stroked the scar on the end of Victoria’s eyebrow with another. Jill’s eyes began to redden when she saw how much Victoria had changed. “You must have been through a lot these past two years, haven’t you?”

“I’m okay.” Victoria chewed on her bottom lip and sat on the chair. “Jill, you’re still as beautiful as you were two years ago.”

“Oh, darling…” Jill’s eyes fell on the crisscrossed scars on her shoulders and back. She wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she wiped the corners of her eyes and tried to lighten the mood, “Today is your birthday. I’ll go make you a bowl of noodles.”

Victoria whispered a ‘thank you’ and forced out a smile.

When Jill heard Victoria thanking her, she stopped and stared at her, wide-eyed. But then, she didn’t comment on it as she left for the kitchen to make noodles with a complicated look on her face.

Once the noodles were served, Victoria ate the familiar-tasting noodles; the sadness in her heart grew with each bite.

As she chewed the noodles in her mouth, she mumbled with her mouth full, “Why did you open up a noodle house?”

“I just felt like doing it one day.” Jill frowned and replied curtly.

When Vincent heard this, he placed his chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth messily. He had a fierce expression as he explained, “After my parents cut ties with you, Jill couldn’t stand living there any longer and came to open a restaurant here.”

Victoria swallowed the noodles and lowered her lashes, so they couldn’t read the emotions in her dark eyes.

“You’re a father of two children; how can you say things like that?” Jill slapped his arm angrily and complained to Teresa, “Teresa, you have to discipline him!”

Then, she glanced at Vincent, who had a desolated look on his face, and pinched her husband’s ear. “Don’t talk if you have nothing good to say! Just play mute and let me do the talking!”

He immediately begged for mercy as he felt his ear twinge in pain. Nevertheless, he didn’t continue to bring up such dreadful memories on the table any longer.

As a result, the noodle house became very quiet, and the only sound that echoed through the mostly empty establishment was the slurping of noodles.
