Victoria took a bite of her veal, deep in thought, innocently voicing her true feelings: "He looks as if he has been heartbroken."
Heartbroken?
Everyone at the table gasped in unison.
Hank Clegg, heartbroken? He was never in love, how could he be heartbroken?
As everyone looked at each other in surprise, only Franklin Clegg was silent, quietly drinking his wine.
Heartbroken huh…
For Hank Clegg, that truly was a new concept.
That evening, as usual, Mrs. Clegg asked Victoria to stay at the Clegg mansion.
"Regardless of circumstances, you absolutely cannot go back to the Bridge Tunnel. It's not just unsafe and inconvenient..." The most important thing was, it was beneath her level, she persuaded Victoria, "Since your child is going to live here, you might as well stay as well."
Victoria was still somewhat hesitant: "But...is it really okay to move in before we're married?"
Upon hearing this from Victoria, Mrs. Clegg admired her even more for her morals and self-respect.
