Chapter 108 Life, Nothing to Cling To
She silently lowered her gaze, about to speak when she heard his gentle voice. "Or perhaps you just don't want to go home? If so, why not?"
Of course, she had a reason but how could she answer him?
"I don't like that home, and I don't like you either." Gathering her courage, she bravely met his eyes when she said she didn't like him.
Yes, she faced him directly.
Even though she lacked confidence when she spoke, ultimately, it was what she needed to say.
After Victoria finished speaking, she tightened her grip on the glass, nervously taking a small sip.
She truly didn't know how to convince herself to stay with a man who already had a child with another woman. Even if she had once been deeply in love with him, if he truly had a child with someone else, she would let it go.
In life, there's nothing worth clinging to.
After all, not even life itself was fleeting. Since everything was transient, she just wanted to live her life well.
Her parents only wished for her happiness, not for her to endure such circumstances.
"Victoria." Alexander's deep voice pulled her back from her thoughts.
"I... I want to live somewhere else," she said, meeting his gaze for a moment before lowering her head, unsure how to face his dark, captivating eyes.
She felt as though his eyes were about to draw her in, and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself, and she would begin acting on impulse.
So, she kept her head down.
She thought it would be better this way. With no one else around, they could talk things through.
Mustering up the courage again, she looked at him and softly asked, "Is it okay if I move out? It would be better for us."
"When you say 'us,' does that include me?" Alexander asked, his brow furrowing slightly.
"Of course," Victoria immediately responded.
However, Alexander's expression softened, and he asked, "Is there someone else?"
"There's Miss Montgomery; I'm sure she wouldn't want us living together either," she replied earnestly.
Alexander felt a piercing pain in his heart but chuckled.
"I don't want to be seen as the one hindering your relationship." She lowered her head as she said this.
He was so confident and intelligent, yet he seemed oblivious to her discomfort. Rumors had already started circulating in the company about their ambiguous relationship.
If this continued, she would be seen as the third party, but she wasn't.
Victoria only hoped for him to divorce her soon.
"What about Adrian?" He suddenly asked.
Though composed, Victoria was momentarily stunned. "What does Adrian have to do with this?"
"What do you think?" He smiled, his voice low.
Victoria was confused and didn't pick up on his melancholy.
A few seconds later, she realized why he mentioned Adrian and quickly said, "Adrian has nothing to do with this. We're just good friends."
"If you're just friends, why would you rather get into his car than mine?" Alexander asked.
Victoria turned to him. "How could I get into your car? There was already a woman in your car."
"But you're my wife."
"So, I should sit in your car?" Victoria questioned him.
"Yes," he stated firmly.
To him, it was a matter of course.
Victoria sighed in resignation, lifted her glass, took a deep sip, then looked at him and smiled softly. "If a wife has a place in her husband's car, it wouldn't be in the back seat."
After setting down her glass, she stood up. "I'm leaving. I don't want to stay at Regal Retreat anymore, and I don't want to be your wife anymore."
With that, she walked away.
