The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 312

Victoria glanced at her phone-it was already late. She barely knew this man, he certainly wasn't a child in need of looking after, and staying any longer just felt

inappropriate.

Quickly, she stood and apologized. K looked at her with a disarmingly innocent expression.

"If you have time tomorrow, could you come over again? I'd love to have your pasta," he said, a hint of playfulness in his voice.

Sometimes, a man's pleading could be even more persuasive than a woman's. Victoria, who still needed his help, found herself nodding before she could think twice.

"All set, Ms. Turner?" she asked.

Victoria hesitated at the question. Was everything really settled?

She'd been here four or five hours. All she'd accomplished was tidying up his place, making him a meal, and taking a nap. As for what she'd actually come to discuss-she'd gotten nowhere. She remembered K's promise: after a few rounds of his game, he'd talk with her. But one round stretched into another, and by the time night fell, they still hadn't spoken. In the end, she'd simply let him usher her out.

Yasmine could read her disappointment right away. "No luck, huh?"

"It's fine. I'll come back tomorrow," Victoria replied.

"Wait, what?"
