Chapter 269 Alaric, Go Sit with Your Mom
Nathan and Preston headed outside to play some chess, while Saskia and Cynthia made their way to the kitchen to lend a hand. During the holidays, Saskia usually takes the lead on cooking.
That left just Alexander and Landon in the living room.
Landon was casually scrolling through his phone, while Alexander sat there with a stern look, legs crossed, leaning back on the couch, not moving an inch.
Alexander's intense eyes were locked on Victoria and Alaric out in the yard, frustration written all over his face.
Feeling the tension in the room, Landon glanced up and met Alexander's clearly annoyed and uninterested expression.
Following Alexander's gaze, he turned to look outside.
After a few seconds of thought, he turned back to Alexander with a curious look.
Landon asked, almost in disbelief, "Alexander, are you seriously jealous of a little kid?"
But Alaric was over twenty years younger than them, so it seemed kind of ridiculous.
Immediately, Landon was met with Alexander's piercing glare and a sharp retort.
Alexander glanced at him indifferently, speaking calmly, "You don't even have a girlfriend, so you have no right to judge whether I'm jealous."
Landon was at a loss for words. 'Why does it always come back to this? So, having no girlfriend means I don't have a say in this?'
Outside, Victoria was playing with Alaric with building blocks, and their interaction seemed so harmonious.
The afternoon sunlight was soft, casting a golden glow on Victoria. It was rare for her to show such a gentle and delicate side to anyone other than Alexander.
This scene made him see a maternal love glowing out from her; she must really like children.
Alaric genuinely liked Victoria. Even during dinner, he insisted on sitting next to her.
Everyone except Alexander seemed to be fine with it. Alaric had monopolized Victoria's time all afternoon, and he had endured it long enough.
With a stern face, Alexander said bluntly, "Alaric, go sit with your mother."
Alaric pouted, his soft voice firm, "I don't want to sit with Mommy, I want to sit with Victoria."
Alexander's expression changed instantly, especially since Alaric not only spoke so but also reached out to hug Victoria.
Everyone present could see that Alexander, the dignified head of the Howard family, the CEO of Vertex Holdings Group, was actually jealous of a little child.
Victoria said helplessly, "Alright, let him sit here."
As soon as dinner was over, Alexander pulled Victoria back to their room.
Although they didn't come back often, the place was regularly cleaned and the garden maintained.
Victoria let him lead her.
Just as they stepped into the living room, Alexander, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, causing her to stop as well.
Before she said anything to question him, Alexander suddenly turned around, pulling her into his arms with a gentle tug, and quickly lifted her chin, pressing his lips to hers.
The passionate and domineering kiss was filled with his whole day's frustration.
She only hesitated for a few seconds before trying to match his rhythm.
He released her hand, wrapped his right arm around her waist, and cupped her neck with his left hand, pulling her closer.
She slowly wrapped her arms around his shoulders, half-embracing his neck.
The atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly intimate.
He kissed her greedily and dominantly, and she was equally enamored with the feeling of his kisses.
She found herself pressed down onto the couch.
She felt his arousal and struggled a bit. "Wait, we can't."
Alexander released her, resting his forehead against hers, both of them breathing heavily, their breaths mingling in the air, creating an intimate atmosphere.
With one hand propped on the couch to support himself, he tightly held her waist with the other, pulling her closer.
Staring into her soft, alluring eyes, he asked in a husky voice, "What's wrong?"
She pressed her hands against his shoulders, looking at the obvious desire in his eyes.
Her breath was also erratic, her voice tinged with a seductive tone.
She said, still panting, "We still have to chat with Grandpa and Mom and Dad later. We can't be gone for too long."
With a low, magnetic, and slightly mischievous voice, Alexander chuckled and raised an eyebrow, "Can I take that as a compliment?"
She blinked, even more puzzled. 'Am I complimenting you?'
Alexander's deep eyes gazed into her enchanting ones, her long lashes casting shadows on her eyelids. Her eyes sparkled with emotion, and she was unaware of how beautiful and alluring she looked at that moment. All he desired to do was to have sex with her right then and there.
