Chapter 321

Victoria's smile sparkled, dazzling in the evening light as she stood before him. She didn't answer Paul's question-just looked at him, eyes bright with mischief.

"I won. So, are you going to keep your promise to me now?"

Paul found himself momentarily lost in her smile. If he hadn't already been hopelessly infatuated with Vivian, he might have fallen for the woman standing before him right then and there.

He sighed, a little regretful. "Are you sure you don't want to consider being my girlfriend? I'm not exactly a bad catch, you know."

Victoria just laughed, the sound light and teasing. "I can keep coming over to cook and tidy up for you, Monday through Friday. But you have to give me an hour every day to teach me."

She didn't seem the least bit worried that Paul might back out in front of all these people. And honestly, he had no excuse to refuse.

"Deal. But I'm a tough teacher, you know. If you're hopeless at this, I'm going to be strict. Don't blame me if you end up in tears."

He leaned a little closer, his voice dropping suggestively. "I've been waiting for your famous four-course dinners, you know. No more takeout to fob me off, alright?"

Just then, Victoria's phone rang. Seeing McNeil's name on the screen, she frowned.

Of course. He must have found out she'd left Gwyneth at the old house-and now he was calling to give her a piece of his mind.

She answered with barely concealed impatience.

"Where are you right now? I told you to look after Gwyn. It's the weekend-you could have spent some time bonding. Instead, you dumped her at Grandpa's. Victoria, do I even matter to you anymore?"
