Chapter 124 Are You Seriously Suggesting that a Married Man Goes after Another Woman?
As Alexander engaged in a phone conversation, his gaze shifted to a figure leaping out of bed. The agility of the movement caught his attention, and he found himself impressed.
Victoria was swift, yet her movements came to an abrupt halt upon opening the door.
"Nanny, why are you here?" she inquired, her expression a mixture of surprise and confusion.
"I came to collect the glasses. Both you and Mr. Alexander are quite particular about cleanliness, and I didn't want the mess to disturb your rest," the nanny explained.
That was her justification.
"Let's leave the glasses for tomorrow. You should get some rest," Alexander suggested, reaching the door and wrapping his arm around Victoria's slender waist. He bid the nanny goodnight, closed the door, and pinned Victoria against the wall. "What were you doing?" he demanded.
'What else can I do? Isn't it obvious that I'm trying to escape before your primal instincts kick in?' Victoria thought to herself, but she dared not voice her thoughts aloud.
Lifting her effortlessly, Alexander hooked her around his waist. "I have a question, may I?" he asked.
Feeling slightly dizzy, Victoria managed to respond, "What’s your question?"
"Are you this light because you don’t like eating?"
Victoria was at a loss for words.
He held her securely in his arms and strode back to the bed with long, confident steps. This time he didn't hold back, kneeling between her legs and teasing, “You sure run fast.”
Victoria felt a blush creep up her cheeks. No matter how fast she was, what good would it do?
When would that nanny finally leave?
“Should we talk to Grandma and suggest that the nanny goes back to Harrington Family Mansion?” she suggested.
“Hmm?”
“The nanny seems tired here,” Victoria added.
Alexander merely looked at her, offering no opinion.
“Plus, it’s kind of inconvenient for us, isn’t it?” she pushed further.
Alexander broke into a laugh, “The nanny is actually here to keep an eye on us, courtesy of the old lady. She's eager to see us start a family soon, remember?”
Victoria found herself speechless.
"Come on, darling, give it your all."
Alexander whispered as he leaned in, supporting her waist and kissing her on the lips once more.
Her lips always tasted so sweet; he couldn't help but murmur, "Have you been putting honey on them?"
Victoria wanted to hide her mouth—if anything, she would prefer to smear it with poison to deter him.
"Stop."
Victoria quickly snapped back to reality as his assertive touch sent shivers of electricity coursing through her.
"We're married."
"No, Isabella is the wife you want to marry. Get off me, you're crushing me, it makes me uncomfortable."
"Uncomfortable?"
Alexander looked puzzled.
"Yes, I'm a bit of a germophobe, and the thought of you touching me after being with Isabella makes me want to throw up."
Victoria explained.
With that revelation, Alexander immediately stopped his advances, furrowing his brows as he stared at her.
Want to throw up?
"Do you have any idea how you're going to die?"
Alexander said.
Victoria looked at him, confused. "What?"
Was he implying that if he couldn't win an argument, he'd resort to murder?
Victoria felt a surge of anxiety.
But then, Alexander suddenly stood up, saying, "I will torture you to death in bed."
He quickly changed his clothes and left the house.
Victoria was still rooted to the spot.
She would die in his bed?
Hmph.
After leaving the house, Alexander drove straight to the club.
Inside, Edward and Benjamin were surprised to see him. "Weren't you not going to come?"
"It was stuffy at home."
He replied with a nonchalant tone and sprawled on the sofa.
"You look sexually frustrated, man."
Edward glanced at him and instantly knew what was bothering him.
Alexander admitted, "She said she wanted to throw up."
Edward and Benjamin went silent, stunned.
Then, all of a sudden, Alexander laughed, though it sounded somewhat bitter.
Edward suddenly asked, "Haven't you and Isabella been intimate since she got pregnant?"
"Actually, you should probably go see Isabella," Benjamin agreed.
"Do you guys even hear yourselves? Are you seriously suggesting that a married man goes after another woman?"
Alexander's face turned stern suddenly.
