章 43: Chapter 43

Victoria couldn't help but chuckle, recalling the events of her retreat. "It was a bit of both, actually. I visited my parents' place, took a stroll through the woods, and rediscovered an old treehouse. It brought back memories."

Alexander raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "A treehouse? Sounds like a hidden gem.

Victoria leaned back in her chair, a nostalgic smile playing on her lips. "Yes, it was a special find. I used to play there as a child and stumbling upon it again felt like reconnecting with a piece of my past. It reminded me of simpler times."

Alexander's eyes lit up with curiosity. "Simpler times, huh? I can imagine it must have been quite a journey down memory lane. What made you decide to explore the woods and the old treehouse?"

Victoria chuckled, "Well, life threw a bit of a curveball my way recently, and I needed a break. The woods and the treehouse provided a retreat—a chance to step back, reflect, and gather my thoughts."
