Chapter 417 Admitting No Intercourse
"Victoria always felt like something was about to happen, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
That morning, as they left the Regal Retreat, she couldn't help but glance back. She caught a fleeting glimpse of a figure that sent a chill down her spine. Why did that person seem so familiar?
At noon, while having lunch with Janaye at an outdoor restaurant, Victoria's heart started racing when she saw that figure again. Janaye noticed her staring and turned to look as well, then asked curiously, ""Did you see someone you know?""
Only one figure came to Victoria's mind. She hadn't seen the person's face, but the build was unmistakable. Only one figure came to Victoria's mind. She hadn't seen the person's face, but the build was unmistakable. Yes, it was him, that man.
Victoria immediately stood up to follow him, but he walked out quickly, heading outside and passing right by her. Victoria's heart raced faster. She knew she had to follow him right away or it would be too late.
""Hey, Victoria, where are you going?"" Janaye sensed something was off and followed her outside.
The two women trailed the figure until he turned into an old alleyway.
""Something's not right."" Victoria suddenly stopped.
Janaye asked, ""What's wrong?""
""Let's go."" Victoria quickly grabbed Janaye's hand and rushed outside, first walking briskly, then breaking into a run.
Janaye, though confused, felt scared too and followed Victoria.
Deeper into the alley, the man was accompanied by two thugs.
""He did it on purpose,"" Victoria muttered to herself on the way to the office building.
""Who is he?"" Janaye couldn't help but ask.
""That person,"" she murmured, climbing the steps, unable to resist looking back.
He was really in Ankenra City. So, what she saw in the morning was indeed him.
'Was he stalking me? Can he freely enter the Regal Retreat? It is Isabella's doing.' Victoria thought. She felt her heart pounding harder.
She couldn't stay passive any longer. Since she knew the man could come and go freely at the Regal Retreat...
For two consecutive days, Victoria actively went to the Regal Retreat. On the day Arabella called them to come back to The Harrington Mansion for dinner, she couldn't help but ask Alexander, while sitting in the front passenger seat, ""Are we going back to the Regal Retreat after dinner?""
""Do you want to go back?"" Alexander asked.
""Yes,"" Victoria replied.
She had asked Adrian for bodyguards, intending to subdue the person immediately upon seeing him. Adrian's bodyguards were skilled.
Even though she might be somewhat useless, she could still ambush him, perhaps stab him from behind or something.
""We'll see,"" Alexander said lightly.
However, upon returning to The Harrington Mansion, Arabella pulled her into Eloise's room and, turning to the man who refused to leave, said, ""You go keep Maximus and Mr. Harrington company.""
""What's going on? You're being mysterious. I'm her husband,"" Alexander asked.
""Are you really her husband? That's still up for debate,"" Arabella said, giving him a shove before slamming the door.
Alexander thought, 'What did she mean by 'up for debate'?'
Victoria was pulled into a wicker chair by Eloise. Harrington looked at the window, feeling puzzled, and asked softly, ""What's going on?""
Arabella approached, saying seriously, ""I need to ask you something. Have you and your husband been intimate?""
""What?"" Victoria was stunned.
""Sweetie, you need to answer honestly,"" Arabella said.
""No, we haven't,"" she said and lowered her head, feeling a bit ashamed.
Victoria knew Eloise. She wanted a grandson, but Victoria hadn't engaged in sexual activities with Alexander yet. But why were they suddenly asking this?
""I always think you two are sleeping together. It must have happened. Can it be that Alexander has some physical issues?"" Arabella asked further.
Victoria was even more dumbfounded.
Alexander, outside, furrowed his brow, thinking, 'What issues does I have?' He can't help but grip the door handle.
""Even if Alexander had physical issues, you didn't face any issues at Elysium, right?"" Eloise also asked."
