Chapter 149

Teresa frowned. “Tori—”

“Teresa, it’s fine. I will accept responsibility for my so-called mistakes. I want to be alone, so you should return first.” Victoria cut her off with her hoarse voice.

“Alright. Thank you, Teresa.” Victoria forced a grin, but she was unable to.

“Keep track of the time,” Teresa said while passing her phone to Victoria.

“You worry me more than a child does,” replied Teresa.

Victoria pursed his lips and silently fiddled with the phone.

“I’ll head first, then.” Teresa waved at her and left.
