Chapter 388 Locked
"""I really hate you. How could you embrace another woman and then come to entangle me?"" Victoria couldn't understand.
Perhaps, if he hadn't torn off the scarf around her neck in front of the elders, she wouldn't have suddenly had an emotional breakdown.
It seemed like a small matter, but it was not.
""Victoria, don't cry,"" he pressed her into his arms, soothing her gently behind her neck.
He didn't expect her to hate Isabella to this extent.
She said she had a fear of emotions. Not that he didn’t believe, he just thought that a fear of emotions meant emotional loyalty. He was very loyal to this marriage.
She always claimed to dislike the scent of that perfume, and she hated the idea of him being with Isabella, but Alexander could only embrace her tightly and allow her to express her feelings. However, in the prestigious Harrington family's The Harrington Mansion, how could she have the freedom to express her emotions openly?
After dinner, Victoria, left by Eloise in the living room to play chess, watched as Eloise, wearing gold wire-framed glasses, focused intensely on the chessboard.
""If it weren't for having similar interests with your grandfather, I wouldn't have played this back then. I used to dislike it very much,""Eloise said.
Arabella listened on the side and couldn't help but ask, ""Then he's not here tonight. Why do you suddenly want to play?""
""I'm waiting for him to play together,"" Eloise said.
Alexander sat beside Victoria, listening to Eloise speak as he observed the woman next to him, engrossed in moving the chess pieces. Would she one day wait for him like Eloise waited for Maximus, or perhaps develop her own hobbies and interests to pass the time?
""Why do you just call him to come back early?"" Victoria asked.
""Because I want to scold him properly when he comes back,"" Eloise said with another plan.
Alexander pursed his lips, thinking that his wife didn't need to learn this hobby.
When the phone on the table rang, everyone glanced over there.
""What's going on? Is this woman calling you? Arabella questioned first.
""It's not common,"" Alexander said, took the phone and glanced at Victoria. ""I'll come back after I take this call.""

""It's not common,"" Alexander said, took the phone and glanced at Victoria. ""I'll come back after I take this call.""
""Alexander, if you dare to leave, don't bother coming back later,"" Arabella shouted immediately as he really took the phone and left.
But Alexander still went out.
Victoria, holding a chess piece in her hand, suddenly felt powerless.
""Stay focused,"" Eloise reminded her, afraid she would be upset.
""Of course,"" Victoria said, tried to smile, and then she put down the chess piece.
""Darling, even if you love Grandma Harrington the most, you still want to win, right?"" Eloise pretended to be very sad.
Victoria laughed at this, then they continued to play, while Arabella couldn't help but look outside.
The car lights were on.
Eloise and Arabella looked outside, while only Victoria, still focused on the chessboard. She told herself not to look outside at all.
Alexander returned over an hour later, as the location was far from the city and the round trip took an hour.
Instead of pretending to sleep in bed, Victoria changed her clothes and quietly went downstairs. She was confident they wouldn't cross paths this time, as she had been vigilant.
She had borrowed the car keys from Felix earlier and when the elders turned off the lights, she silently made her way downstairs. Victoria was in her pajamas and pants, having showered as Eloise requested to ensure she was clean before resting.
With Alexander's steady but light footsteps, Victoria hiding behind the stairs, she quietly crouched and ran out after he went upstairs.
At that moment, she could have gone to the Regal Retreat. He probably assumed she would come back to the apartment, but she was actually going to the Regal Retreat to search for her documents.
Did she marry him? She didn't care. However, what she didn't realize was that as soon as she entered the Regal Retreat, the door was locked from the outside."
