Chapter 135
After Victoria came to her senses, she quietly shook her head, but as soon
as she thought of something, she withdrew her hand that was still clinging
to Alaric’s neck.
However, before she could move away, Alaric commanded coldly, “Hold
on tight.”
Truth be told, Victoria didn’t want to obey him, so he deliberately loosened
his grip on her when she was about to let go after sensing her intention.
Almost reflexively, Victoria hooked her arm around his neck even tighter.
Her wrist was delicate and fair, forming a vivid contrast against his skin.
It wasn’t until she realized what she had just done that her expression
changed.
Alaric, on the other hand, smirked when he felt the delicacy of her skin.
“Hold on tight, and don’t fall.”
This time, Victoria didn’t let go, instead falling into her thoughts and

occasionally glancing up at Alaric. The man walked effortlessly with her in
his arms, his breath and steps both steady. From her angle, she could see
the smooth and delicate contour of Alaric’s jawline, as well as his slightly
curved thin lips that had yet to retract.
She became confused.
If he hadn’t answered her calls today–no, if he hadn’t answered her calls
last time, she would have already given up on him. What was Alaric doing.
now? Did he even know what he was doing? They were both headed.
toward divorce, yet he still acted so flirtatiously.
Conversely, Peter huffed and puffed as he followed behind with their
belongings. The sight of his boss embracing Victoria made his smiling
face almost impossible to hide.
This is how you should act as a perfect couple. My boss has finally come
to his senses, asking me to grab their things just so he could carry Miss
Victoria out. Hopefully, he will end his affair with Claudia. I never want a
new lady boss to join the Cadogan Group.
After he delivered the items to the car, he watched as Alaric held Victoria

and sat inside, then he waved goodbye to them as they left.
The car’s air conditioning was turned on during their journey back, so it
was much cooler in the car than outside. While wrapped in Alaric’s coat,
Victoria sat in silence.
The temperature of the car made her feel drowsy. Just when she was
about to lean against the seat to take a nap, Alaric, who was driving,
spoke up. “What do you think of Bane?”
Hearing him speak, Victoria’s drowsiness subsided slightly as she turned
to look at him. “What?”
Alaric’s thin lips twitched as he questioned coldly, “He saved you. Aren’t
you grateful for him?”

“Of course,” Victoria nodded without hesitation. He rushed to save her, took
her to the hospital for an examination, and took care of her attentively.
Most importantly, he found out about her pregnancy but chose to help her
keep it a secret from Alaric. Such respect and understanding made
Victoria deeply grateful.
Seeing how she admitted to it without any hesitation, his brows furrowed

tightly. “Do you like him?”
Thinking that she heard some kind of ridiculous joke, Victoria squinted at
him. “What does my gratitude have to do with liking him?”
Alaric pursed his lips and replied impulsively, “If you don’t like him, why did
you
let him stay by your bedside? You even slept so peacefully for such a
long time. Weren’t you afraid he might’ve had other intentions?”
At this, Victoria had no more doubts. No wonder he acted so strangely in
front of Bane today. Did he mistake my feelings and assume I like Bane?
So, that’s the case…
She initially thought he was flirting with her, but it turned out that she was
just being presumptuous. With this in mind, Victoria closed her eyes and
retorted without reservation, “He saved me, but apart from being grateful
to him, I don’t feel anything else for him at the moment. You don’t need to
worry about that. After all, people like you are rare.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the car fell silent. Victoria suddenly felt
that she might have gone too far, but after thinking about it, since he was
already suspicious of her feelings for Bane, saying a few words to him

shouldn’t be a problem.

If he wants to get mad, let him be. After all, Grandma has already finished
her surgery, so there’s nothing for me to worry about.
Sure enough, Alaric sulked all the way afterward, not saying a single word.
Instead of getting out of the car as soon as Victoria arrived at her house,
she asked, “How is Grandma doing now?”
“She’s okay.” Alaric paused for a moment before he spoke.
“That’s good. How long does she need to be observed?”
“Forty–eight hours.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
After that, both of them fell silent for a long time and thought of something
simultaneously.
“Well…” Victoria looked at Alaric and said softly, “Forty–eight hours is a bit
rushed. How about three days later?”
Hearing this, he looked at her.

In the dimly lit car, Victoria’s expression remained calm. Her pale lips
added a touch of sickly beauty and delicacy.
Meanwhile, Alaric’s thin lips pursed in a straight line.
Just moments ago, she was cuddled up against his neck in his arms. But
here she was, wearing his coat and discussing the day they would file for
divorce. He ought to consent to it, for they previously agreed that once his
grandma’s surgery was completed, this fake marriage would no longer be
valid. However, for some reason, Alaric’s heart was quietly rebelling as if a
voice was urging him not to get a divorce.
Once they got divorced, he would lose her completely.
“Grandma’s condition will probably stabilize within three days. We’ll get the
divorce certificate first, then-”
“Let’s wait a little longer,” said Alaric, cutting her off all of a sudden.
Victoria was stunned by what she heard. “What?” What for? Shouldn’t he
be eager to get a divorce? That way, he can finally be with Claudia.
“Yeah,” he answered in a hoarse voice, his eyes gloomy. “Let’s wait a little

longer. Grandma needs time to recover after the surgery. If we divorce too
early, I’m afraid it will affect her health.”

She remained silent and thought about it. Alaric’s reasoning seemed valid,
and there didn’t seem to be any problem with waiting a few more days.
“What’s wrong?” Alaric asked when she said nothing for a long time, the
light in his eyes darkening. “Can’t you wait a few more days? Are you in a
hurry?”
Hearing him, Victoria came back to her senses and shook her head. “No, I
think you’re right. Let’s wait a few more days. I didn’t think it through.
Grandma’s body does need time to recover.”
Her understanding attitude left Alaric speechless once again. It was as if
she had thought through the consequences and only agreed to postpone
the divorce out of rationality. Suddenly, an unfamiliar pain made Alaric
pause for a moment as it radiated throughout his body.
