Chapter 35 Get Along Better
"Do you know?""Yes, I know; you are my soon-to-be divorced husband."At this point, Alexander didn't know if his headache was due to the fever or her. She was so rational. Soon-to-be divorced husband? Huh! He found it amusing, but his suddenly cold gaze shot towards her, "A soon-to-be divorced husband is still a husband; you have a responsibility to take care of me when I'm sick.""Am I not taking care of you?"Victoria asked him again. She didn't understand what he was angry about."Is this your idea of taking care of me? You won't even put your hand on my forehead."Yes, that was what he was unhappy about. Victoria lowered her head in response, looking both dejected and stubborn. His displeasure, why did it seem a bit... childish? Even she, at the age of twenty-three, was too embarrassed to be childish anymore.Actually...Of course, she also wanted to. She wanted to intimately place her hand on his forehead to check his temperature; she could even care about him more. But that was before he betrayed her. Since he was with Isabella, she wouldn't degrade herself in front of him anymore."Last night, I met Miss Montgomery downstairs, and I think her suggestion is very good." She spoke demurely."Go on."He didn't expect her to really find Isabella, but he was more curious about what she wanted to say to piss him off."Miss Montgomery suggested that from now on, I can treat you as my elder brother, and she would be my sister-in-law.""What?"Elder brother? Sister-in-law? Huh! Someone here could be a sister-in-law, but..."Of course, this is only if you don't mind, if...""There's no if; I do mind."He quickly sat up. Victoria stood by, burying her head even lower in embarrassment. She knew he would mind, so she didn't dare to promise Isabella anything. In the spacious bedroom, only the two of them were present; it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.Alexander tried to get up, but he felt dizzy as soon as he moved. He sat there, lowering his head to ask her, "If she tells you to treat me as your elder brother, you'll treat me as your elder brother?""Mm." She responded in a muffled voice."So, do you see me as your husband or your elder brother? I mean now, in the past, from the day we got our marriage certificate." Alexander asked her clearly, fearing that she might not understand."In the past, you were my husband. Now, you are my elder brother."It seemed like... that was the only way. She had to restrain herself, not to reveal the little girl's sadness in her heart. She had grown up. She wanted to keep her dignity in front of him.Alexander laughed upon hearing this, but then his face turned cold again, "Get out."Get out? Victoria looked at him in confusion, but, oh well. Just as she was about to leave, Alexander suddenly said, "It seems that your hopes are about to be dashed."Victoria stopped, turning to look at the man sitting on the sofa with a stern face. Her hopes were about to be dashed? What hopes? He got up and slowly approached her. Victoria stood there, but suddenly her legs gave way as he got closer.Alexander came to her, looking down at her from above, "It's a pity that I'm not your elder brother, but the lawful husband who shares the same household registration with you."Victoria's heart pounded for several beats. Yes, he was. But if he was so clear about it; why did he have an affair? Of course, she knew many men in wealthy families who had multiple wives and mistresses, but he was Alexander. He was so cold, clean, and disciplined; how could he be like those men?"I don't understand." She looked up at him and said."What don't you understand?" He asked.‘Since you always knew you were my husband, I don’t understand why you didn't you come home for two whole years, why...’
