The Abandoned Wife Dumped Him First (Victoria and Elias) novel Chapter 393

"I can share one of my birthday wishes with you this year."

Victoria lowered her gaze, looking at the fireworks that continued to light up the sky. The noise was considerable, and lights started to flick on in the surrounding buildings as residents were woken up.

Not everyone loves fireworks, especially late at night.

In the eyes of those who appreciated them, it was romantic. To those who didn't, it was a public nuisance.

She really didn't want to deal with angry neighbors coming to her door, so she did as he said, closed her eyes, and made a wish. "I'm done. Elias, make the fireworks stop."

Elias sent a quick text to Hawk, then asked, "What did you wish for?"

Victoria pressed her lips together, her eyes flickering.

Her wish… was that after Garnett's surgery, she and Elias would have nothing more to do with each other.

"It won't come true if I say it out loud."

The fireworks finally stopped, and the surroundings fell silent once more.

Elias didn't respond for a long time. If it weren't for the faint static on the line, Victoria would have thought he'd hung up.

After a full five minutes, Victoria began to feel the chill. Wanting to break the stalemate, she said, "Elias, I'm tir—"

"Open the door."

They had spoken at the same time.

Victoria was stunned. She turned to look back into her apartment, her fingers unconsciously tightening around her phone. "You're… at my door?"

A deep "Mhm" came from the man.

Thump!

Victoria felt as if a stone had been dropped into her heart.

Elias repeated himself, his tone leaving no room for refusal. "Victoria, open the door."
