The Invisible Wife Turned Savage novel Chapter 242

**Chapter 242: Victoria’s Second Spring**

A soft smile danced across Simon’s lips as he spoke, “You know, sons just don’t have the same thoughtful nature as daughters do. This New Year, both of my boys took off on their honeymoons with their wives, leaving me to enjoy the solitude of my own company. But look at your daughter—she still makes the effort to visit and spend time with you. Sons, well, they’re just not wired that way.”

As Estella observed the playful banter between her mother and Simon, an unsettling thought began to creep into her mind.

Could it be possible that her mother had discovered a second spring in her life?

Just as this confusion flickered like a candle in her thoughts, Estella noticed a shared glance between Victoria and Simon—one that spoke volumes.

With a light-hearted chuckle, Simon turned to Estella. “You two enjoy your conversation. I’ll step out for a moment to grab some fruit.”

With that, he exited the room, leaving an air of anticipation behind him.

Estella wasted no time in turning to her mother, her curiosity bubbling over. “Mom, what’s really going on between you and Mr. Simon?”

Victoria’s cheeks flushed a delicate shade of pink as she met her daughter’s gaze. The sweetness of her expression, coupled with a hint of shyness, spoke volumes to Estella.

She had never intended to oppose her mother’s quest for love again. After all, it had been years since her father had passed, and the void was palpable.

“How did you two even meet?” Estella inquired, her mind racing with a mix of concern and intrigue.

Victoria’s moods had always been like the weather—unpredictable. Did this man truly understand the complexities of her heart?

As she recalled the moment they first crossed paths, a tender smile graced Victoria’s lips.

In her youth, she had been the epitome of beauty, and even now, well past forty, her allure remained undeniable. With her carefully chosen attire, she radiated a captivating charm.

“Well, we met at the hospital,” Victoria began, her voice softening with nostalgia. “I was there for a checkup, and he happened to be visiting a doctor too. He accidentally dropped his wallet, and I called out to him. That simple interaction sparked a conversation, and we ended up exchanging numbers on WhatsApp.”

She continued, her eyes sparkling with delight. “After that, he frequently messaged me, and soon he started visiting. Over time, we grew closer, and I found myself looking forward to our interactions.”

No one understood Victoria quite like Estella did.

For her to be so content, it had to be about more than just Simon’s looks. His family background must be equally impressive.

Sure enough, Victoria’s next words confirmed Estella’s suspicions. “You have no idea, do you? He owns a finance company. His assets are quite substantial!”

Estella let out a sigh, her brow furrowing in concern. “Mom, I really don’t mind if you want to date, but he has sons. If you marry him, life might not be as simple as you think.”

Among affluent families, disputes over inheritance were a common occurrence. Estella couldn’t bear the thought of her mother being caught in such a tangled web.

Victoria shot her a sharp, disapproving glance. “Don’t be ridiculous! So what if he has sons? I’m not after all of his wealth. Just a third of it would make me happy! If I marry him and stand by his side, that’s worth something too!”

When it came to navigating the world of the wealthy, Victoria had ample experience.

If her daughter couldn’t secure a prosperous life, then she would take matters into her own hands.

Yet, she was equally determined to find Estella a wealthy husband.
