Chapter 348 The Pregnancy Test
The surrounding atmosphere was unnervingly silent, a quiet so profound that it prompted her to rise slowly from her seat. Logic dictated that she should not depart with Adrian under such circumstances, yet emotionally, she found herself trailing behind him, her gaze cast downward.As Victoria moved, she felt the weight of Alexander's gaze from where he sat beside her. Despite his silent observation, he made no move to halt her departure. She knew, deep within her, that she should not be acting this way, yet she chose to disregard her inner voice.After all, it was an inevitable truth that she could not control every event that transpired that day. Adrian had been a constant presence in her life for many years; it was only right that she should accompany him in his time of need.Arabella, watching her son with a heavy heart, felt a pang of sorrow. Adrian had just lost his father, and she could do nothing but endure the pain alongside him. Melissa Jason, on the other hand, harbored hopes of her son finding love.Alexander remained seated, silent as a statue. Yet, as time passed, he found himself unable to suppress a smile. Adrian had just exited the living room, his hand entwined with Victoria's. She halted abruptly, her gaze falling awkwardly upon the hand that held her wrist."Let's go to the beach," Adrian suggested."Okay," Victoria agreed, casting a quick glance at the door before consenting. However, as they departed, she gently extricated her hand from his. She was willing to accompany him, but she was not ready for anything more intimate.Adrian was slightly disappointed, but he respected her decision. Their journey led them to the beach, a short drive from the The Harrington Mansion. Once there, Adrian removed his coat and draped it over the solitary bench, offering Victoria a seat."Thank you," she murmured softly before taking a seat. Adrian joined her, spending a long while leaning back against the bench, his gaze fixed on the sea. Victoria, unsure of how to console him, chose to sit quietly by his side.Adrian wiped away his tears before turning to her. "I hesitated to come back, but Dad encouraged me to do what I wanted to do. He wanted me to come back."Victoria responded softly, "Your father definitely wanted you to be well, Adrian."Adrian nodded, "Victoria, all fathers are the same. They want their children to be well."Victoria agreed, her thoughts echoing his sentiment. Parents spend their lives working hard to ensure the well-being of their children. The thought of their children suffering would undoubtedly break their hearts. A wave of nostalgia washed over her as she missed her own parents. She looked up, expecting to see a star-studded sky, but was met with a blanket of dark clouds.Over an hour had passed when she noticed a familiar pair of shoes behind her. Her heart fluttered as she slowly lifted her gaze to meet Alexander's. He said nothing, merely bent down to lift her from the bench. Adrian, fast asleep on the chair, was oblivious as she was carried away."Alexander, let me go," she murmured, but he remained silent, his long strides carrying them further away from the beach. Once they reached his Lamborghini, he settled her in, fastened her seatbelt, and drove off without a word.Victoria was left in the dark about their destination as the car sped away from the coastline, heading inland towards the southern part of the city. Their journey ended at Regal Retreat.After the car came to a halt, Alexander finally broke his silence. "There is something very important to do tonight.""What?" Victoria asked, puzzled. What could possibly be so important that it required them to be at his apartment?Alexander remained silent, reaching into his pocket to retrieve a thin object. He held it out to her, his expression unreadable.
