The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 391

Victoria glanced at the well wishes, her breath catching. For a moment, she was in a daze, as if she could see through the screen to her past self, the one who had been so hopelessly in love, carefully crafting this message and setting it to send at a specific time, her heart full of anticipation.

So much had happened recently that Victoria had lost track of the days, completely forgetting about the scheduled birthday text.

She composed herself, saw the 'unread' status, and long-pressed the screen, preparing to retract the message.

But in the next instant, the 'unread' tag flickered to 'read,' and a notification popped up: Message retraction failed.

Victoria was at a loss for words.

Suddenly, the throbbing in her temples grew worse.

She looked over at Dawn, who was completely oblivious to what had just happened. The cat had calmed down and was curled up in the chair. Sensing Victoria's gaze, Dawn glanced at her and let out a yawn.

Just then, her phone rang.

Victoria’s fingertips trembled as she looked down. The name 'Elias' flashed on the screen, and her nerves instantly tensed.

After a long pause, she answered.

"Come out to the balcony."

Before she could say a word, a man's deep, magnetic voice came through the phone, tinged with a commanding tone.

Victoria froze for a second, her eyes drifting toward the nearby balcony door. She hesitated for a moment before stepping outside.

The late-night wind of early spring carried a biting chill, instantly scattering what little drowsiness she had left.
