Chapter: 1241

In a faint and hoarse voice, he said, "Rachel, my clothes are wet too."

Rachel took a little pause before continuing up the stairs.

Lila handed Victor a warm glass of water and remarked, "Mr...."

Suddenly, Lila realized that she had no idea how to address the guy in front of her.

Taking the glass from Lila, Victor drank a gulp of warm water to flush the blood from his mouth. It seemed like Victor had picked up on Lila's thoughts, so he put down the glass and said, "I'm Rachel's husband."

"What?" Lila's eyes widened in astonishment. ‘Husband? Miss Bennet's husband? Then how come Andy and Miss Bennet have never mentioned it?'

Furthermore, Lila had enquired about Joey's father before and Andy had told her that he was not present.

Why was Joey's father not present? Joey was a good boy. Rachel was a beautiful and talented woman. Any other guy would have no intention of abandoning them.

Lila was unable to grasp the significance of such complex issues. She, therefore, concluded that Joey had lost his father through an accident or some illness.

For this reason, she was really sad for Joey for a long time. When she saw Joey, she only saw how poor the kid must have been! Joey had lost his father at such an early age.

When Victor revealed that he was Rachel's husband, Lila was taken aback.

After a time, Lila was able to calm herself and inquire, “If that's the case, are you Joey's dad?"

"I'm not." Victor's eyes became darker.

Before Lila could react, she saw that Joey, who had been sitting on the couch, got up and walked out of the room.

“Hey, Joey?"

“I need some sleep." Joey walked away, sulkily stating his case.

Victor's eyes hardened as he saw Joey's back. His eyes were filled with emotion, but no one knew what was on his mind.

Roger's jaw clenched slightly when he heard Victor introducing himself to Lila in such a manner, and he eventually stopped smiling, but he did not immediately reveal Victor.

He was well aware that Victor barely remembered anything.

In addition, Rachel hadn't yet informed anybody else that she and

Victor had split. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't.

Rachel saw two sets of pajamas in Andy's room and was about to go to the living room when she ran into Joey.

When she saw Joey's sluggishness, she asked, "Joey, what's the matter?"

"Mommy, nothing is wrong. I'm just a little tired."

Rachel checked Joey's temperature by touching his brow. She instantly deciphered that he didn't look this way because he was in discomfort or tired; it was all because of Victor.
