Chapter 365 Extra Story I Love You (Part Two)
"To prevent being harassed, my phone has been out of use recently." Victory smiled at her politely and said, "I'm sorry forthat."
"Are you finally okay?" Elliana scoffed indignantly and said, "Karson Xie, that jerk, is envious of you! How could he frame you in such a despicable way? Bold of him to assume he could sink your career down with him!"
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me." Victor shook his head and added, "Thank you for your concern."
"You're welcome." Elliana pouted and approached him closer.
Victor dodged her expressionlessly. "Elliana, I've told you clearly that I don't like you. We two are just good acting partners. Nothing more."
Elliana's face darkened. She did not expect that Victor would be so straightforward and reject her right away. After regaining her composure, she said, "Maybe we can try. I'm confident that you will fall in love with me."
"Well," said Victor while touching his nose, "I already have a girlfriend. You will definitely meet someone better than me."
"You have a girlfriend? I don’t believe it!" Elliana's mouth hung open in surprise then she quickly asked, "Who is she? Ena?"
"No comment." Victor responded with a smile and continued, "I'm going to the dressing room now. Let's focus on the shooting. See you later."
El liana stood still in a daze. Her heart sank.
At noon, Mary came to the set with two lunchboxes.
"Ena asked me to bring you the lunch of love." Mary shrugged.
Victor took it with a smile and asked, "How is Ena doing at home?"
"She's recovering well, but it's still a little inconvenient for her to walk," she responded with a smile.
Victor nodded. He looked at the other lunch box in Mary's hand and asked, "Whose lunch box is this?"
"Who else can it be?" Mary sighed. "It's for William. He said he was too tired recently so he asked me to bring him lunch."
Victor laughed. "Maybe he just wants to see you. You are still working in GM which makes him really unhappy.
"We are married and we could see each other every day, unlike you and Ena." Mary suddenly giggled. "I saw the happiness on Ena's face this morning. Did you win her heart?"
Victor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Haven't I won her heart a long time ago?"
"Well, I suppose you're right." Mary nodded dully then suddenly glared at him. "Victor, you're flattering yourself again. Anyway, I have to go now. Enjoy your lunch. See you around."
"Okay. Bye!" Victor nodded, sat aside, and opened the lunch box. Inside were two dishes and a soup. The lunch looked very rich and appetizing.
"Wow! Your food looks so tasty!" Jorge came out of nowhere and stared at the food in front of Victor. He picked up a piece of meat with two fingers and put it into his mouth. "It's delicious!"
Victor patted on his hand rudely. "Get your lunch from the crew! Don't join in the fun here. Nothing here is for you!"
"Ouch!" Jorge covered his chest exaggeratedly, stood up, and staggered back. "I'm so hurt! How could you do this to me?!"
"Geez." Victor laughed and began to gobble down the food.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
His phone suddenly rang. He turned around and searched for his phone in his pocket. When he saw that it was a call from Ena, a smile appeared on his face. "Hello?"
"Did Mary bring you the lunch?"
"Yes. I'm eating it right now."
"Do you like it?" Ena asked nervously.
"Yes! It's so yummy. Thank you for this delicious food. It looks good, smells good, and tastes good." With a smile on his face, Victor ate his lunch while on the phone.
Standing not far away, Elliana gazed at him. The happiness in his eyes and the pampering in his tone were apparent. 'It seems that Victor is very happy now. Forget it. As long as he is happy, it doesn't matter who's making him happy,' Elliana thought and she heaved a sigh.
In the evening, Victor dragged his tired body back to Ena's apartment.
With a click, the door was opened. To his surprise, the living room was dimly lit by a yellow light. He found Ena sleeping on the sofa. She looked so lovely when she was asleep.
Victor's heart warmed up upon seeing her, as if his tiredness instantly disappeared. He walked quietly to Ena, picked her up, and walked to the bedroom with her in his arms.
As Ena was waiting for Victor, she dozed off. Feeling a slight movement, she opened her eyes in a somnolent manner. When she realized she was being carried in Victor's arms, she blushed immediately. She rubbed her head against his chest and asked in a low voice, "Did you just come back?"
"Yes."
"You are such a hard worker! Here is your award." Ena wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek.
With a smile, Victor put Ena in the bed, pressed his body against her, and whispered, "A kiss is not enough."
"What did you say?" Ena asked foolishly. Seeing him like this, she could not think properly.
Time passed slowly. Ena had been recuperating at home and felt at ease to be Victor's 'little woman'.
On TV and newspapers, there were little gossips about Victor from time to time. One day, Ena got so angry that she jumped on her feet like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on.
"Victor, Victor!" Ena pointed at the news on the newspaper and pouted. "The newspaper said that you went to the nightclub with this unknown actress last night."
Victor touched Ena's little head and smiled. "Maybe others don't know the truth. Don't you remember where I was last night?"NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Ena blushed and mumbled, "You were with me last night, but the person on the newspaper was obviously you!"
"I sent her to the intersection last night. She went to the nightclub by herself. The reporters are just talking nonsense. If they didn't do so, how could they make money and live on? Just take it as doing charity."
Ena sighed in defeat. "When can our relationship be made public? There are so many excellent women around you. I'm so worried.”
"Have you forgotten that your man is so charming? Even if our relationship is made public, women will still come to me one after another," said Victor proudly with a complacent smile at the corners of his mouth.
"Humph!" Ena clenched her small fists and pretended to be fierce. "Then I'll drive them away from you one by one. You belong to me only!"
After saying that, she waited for Victor's reaction, but he just stared at her without saying anything.
"What... What's wrong?" Her face suddenly turned pale. She thought that she had said something wrong to irritate Victor, so she quickly retracted her statement. Tm sorry, Victor! I... I didn't mean to be..."
Seeing Ena so apologetic and sheepish, Victor felt sorry for her. He held her in his arms and said, 'Tm sorry, Ena. I'm the one who should say sorry to you. I was too mean to you before. I was scared that time. You did not deserve any of that. To be honest, I like what you had just announced."
"Do you think I'm being too willful?" Tears welled up in Ena's eyes and she was on the verge of crying. She blinked her eyes many times and said, "Victor, I will change it if you don't like me being like that. I promise to be a good girl in the future."
"No, you don't have to." Victor kissed Ena's hair and comforted her, "You are fine now. Don't change, Ena. I like the way you are. You're perfect. Remember, you can lose your temper at me, act like a spoiled child, and blame me for my mistakes. Don't ever think that I will be mad at you for it. Keep in mind that we are equal." "Can I... really do it?" Ena could still not believe his words.
"Ena, I love you. Just so you know, you have every right to do those things just as you wish," responded Victor affectionately.
Her eyes widened and her lips trembled with disbelief. "What... what did you just say?"
"I said I love you."
"Wah!" Ena covered her mouth and burst into tears. "Me too, Victor. I love you too."
She had been waiting for this day for so long.
Sometime later, in celebration for the recovery of Ena's foot, several women gathered together for dinner and chitchatted all the way.
"Ena has been living a happy life recently. Except for the outdoor show every week, there is almost no other project for her," said Mary.
Selah nodded in agreement. "Yes, even in that show, she is partnered with Victor. Toot! Toot! A woman is so immersed in love!"
Jane chuckled and added, "Ena, are you going to retire from the A-list? If that's the case, Mr. Lan will definitely ask Victor to work harder for the company."
Ena pressed her lips to prevent herself from laughing. Recently, her relationship with Victor was getting better. She just wanted to be a little woman, silently supporting and protecting Victor at his back.
"It's not impossible!" She smiled sweetly.
"Ena, you can't do this!" Waving her hand in front of Ena, Mary said, "Can't you see that many women want to pounce on Victor?"
"It doesn't matter. Victor doesn't care about them anyway." Ena looked very happy. "I believe in Victor."
"Hey, hey, you can't do that! You're kidding, aren't you?" Jane hurriedly shook her hand and said, "It's not that I don't believe in him. It's just that as time goes by, if you become out-of-date and aged, men will have aesthetic fatigue and inevitably flirt with other women."
"Yes, that's always the case," Selah chimed in confidently while stroking her round belly. "If I weren't pregnant, I would have taken a script. If I stayed at home all day long, I would feel insecure."
Stunned, Ena asked with concern, "Why would you feel insecure?"
"Because I don't know what my husband is doing outside!" Holding Ena’s hand, Selah added, "Don't you feel that way? Besides, you don't have anything to do everyday. When the day comes that he doesn't talk to you, you'll lose your mind!"
"Women should also have their own careers. Only by maintaining their own charm can they win men's hearts! " Mary clenched her fist and continued, "Victor is shining brightly. Don't you want to stand next to him, so strong and powerful?"
When Ena returned home that night, she was surprised to see that Victor had come back early, but he had already fallen asleep on the bed.
She felt disappointed. Suddenly, she recalled the girls' talk during the day.
'I can't continue being like this. What they said was reasonable. I just cannot sit still and wait for misfortune to come. I'm young and talented. What's more, my career has just begun. I have to work hard for myself as well. I have to win as the best actress to match Victor!'
At the thought of this, Ena nodded firmly. 'Okay then, I'll find a new script and start working again!'
