Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 451 - 451 Those Women 6

Chapter 451: Those Women 6 Chapter 451: Those Women 6 Soon, Victoria shook her head and said, “It’s not like we’re enemies, it’s not that serious. Just that there’s an indescribable strange feeling between us, somehow not really like family. Is it because of some misunderstanding between you and your mother?”

“Or was it because she kidnapped your best friend before and forced you to marry Chloe Johnson?”

Victoria thought, was it because of this incident that drove the mother and son apart?

“Not entirely, there’s no misunderstanding between us, or like you said, we’re not like family.” Arnold Johnson hesitated, leaving some words unspoken.

It’s not that he didn’t want to say it, but the timing was not right, and even he hadn’t made up his mind.

“Relationships between people are unpredictable. You might feel destined to meet some people, while others are unlikable even after a lifetime.” Arnold added, “In her eyes, my older brother was the rightful person. She always felt that I was the one who caused my brother’s death, so that’s why our relationship is like this.”

His older brother was a righteous man, but he died trying to save Arnold.

So, Arnold owed his brother and the Johnson Family.

However, Arnold was born to dislike being constrained, so, he would change his methods for some people but he would never change himself.

Seeing the topic of their conversation getting heavier, Victoria redirected the conversation at the right moment.

Discussing delicious food seemed to bring greater comfort.

It wasn’t long before Arnold took her to a restaurant like this.

By the window, steam was rising from the hot pot, snowflakes were falling outside, and they could see the East Imperial Gate of Metropolis. The red walls and white tiles of the gate were beautifully covered with snow.

“Did you know? I don’t really like to eat meat that much, but every time I eat hot pot, I can eat a lot of sliced lamb and beef.”

“I know, so I ordered six plates of lamb slices and five plates of fresh beef.”

Victoria replied solemnly, “You’re overdoing it, we can’t waste food.”

Equally seriously, Arnold said, “I believe in your ability.”

“…”

Normally, Victoria couldn wouldn’t handle spicy food very well, but when having hot pot, especially on a snowy day, her favorite flavor was spicy.

The hot and spicy food was very satisfying.

Just like before, her mother would cook spicy hot pot sauce at home on a snowy day. The whole house would be filled with the fragrance of pepper, chili, and various spices, making the cold winter day feel warm.

Because they lived on Floor 6 in an old building, no matter how high they turned up the heating, the cold would always seep in. But after a spicy hot pot meal, the cold would be completely gone.

“Eat up!” Arnold put the cooked meat slices into Victoria’s bowl. She came back to her senses, picked up the lamb with her chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and started eating.

“It’s delicious and full of flavor.” Victoria knew that no matter how wonderful the spicy hot pot was, it couldn’t compare to the taste of her mother’s cooking.

But some flavors can only exist in memories.

Victoria wasn’t the type to force herself. Seeing Arnold’s eager eyes, she quickly immersed herself in enjoying the delicious spicy hot pot with him.

When they had eaten almost all the food, Arnold asked her, “Do you want to know the news about Clara Brown and her daughter?”

“Sure, did they sell their house and car and make the mortgage repayment?” Victoria asked.
