Chapter 482 The Man Who Could Have Beautiful Babies with You Was Here
"Victoria locked eyes at him for a long time.
She couldn't tell if his evasive eyes were guilty or annoyed. She was annoyed either way. When she bowed her head, whispering, ""With so much to do every day as the boss, you probably don't remember past events. However, as your little secretary, I must be meticulous and remember everything you say.""
""Alright."" Alexander left after a low answer to his sensual fingers tapping her desk.
Only then did Victoria look up at him again. Had she been too sharp in her rebuttal just now?
Had she not considered his pride?
Glancing at his dashing long legs, Victoria scolded herself, 'Can I be a bit more resistant? What time is it now?'
After this, she hoped he would never ask her to make decisions for him again.
""By the way, the wedding dress should be ready in a couple of days,"" Alexander said.
Just as she was preparing to shift her mood to work, Alexander, who had made her think, returned and dropped this line.
Victoria looked at him without speaking.
However, he gave her a solemn look and left.
Janaye only dared to come back after Alexander entered the office. She couldn't help but whisper, ""You were so fierce just now, and he didn't even get angry.""
""Didn't he get angry?"" Victoria questioned softly.
""Yes, as you raised your voice and your eyes became red, he lowered his voice and was very cautious,"" Janaye replied.
Victoria looked at her in disbelief, thinking Janaye must have some mistaken impression of him.
He lowered his voice and was cautious because he felt guilty for calling her to pack things and depart The Harrington Mansion at night.
If he hadn't done that, they might have had a child by now.
Victoria was very annoyed because she had to report to him later.
Victoria felt that she wouldn't last long in this job.
Whether they got married or divorced, she was going to resign.
They were different from the type to work well together.
She had to find a way to acquire his signature on her resignation letter.
In the evening, Victoria had a dinner with Olivia at the restaurant.
""Get pregnant if you want to resign. A female executive at our company kept resigning but wasn't approved. Her resignation was granted because she was pregnant and physically fragile and prone to miscarriage."" Olivia gave a suggestion.
""But I'm not pregnant,"" Victoria said.
""But you can get pregnant,"" Olivia replied.
""But where would I get pregnant?"" Victoria asked.
""How about we go to a sperm bank?"" Olivia advised.
Victoria had hoped for children after marriage, but after being married, she stopped. When Olivia said it, she was even more stunned.
She felt unfit to be a mother due to her age and status.
She couldn't bear the arrival of a child, not financially, but psychologically.
She worried she couldn't raise a happy child. It would be wrong if she had a suffering child.
If she had a baby, that baby would have to live a very happy life.
As for the sperm bank, she had never even thought about it.
But Olivia continued in a low voice, ""I know a decent hospital. If you can't locate a man to have a child with by thirty, use the sperm bank.""
Victoria listened intently and couldn't help but ask, ""So, is your goal to have a baby before thirty?""
""Of course, the sooner the better. I'm afraid I won't have the energy if I get older,"" Olivia said.
""Have you discussed this with Alexander? I heard that a man's sperm is most active between the ages of twenty and thirty. If you want to have a high-quality baby, you need to prepare."" Olivia continued.
Victoria was stunned.
Olivia looked at her innocent face and couldn't help but laugh, then sighed. ""I know you're twenty-three and haven't considered these things. You and Alexander might have a wonderful baby, but have you considered that?""
Victoria forced a smile. She had considered it, but she wouldn't have a child with him.
She was bullied to death, attempting to leave him. She would likely be bullied forever if she had a child with him.
They hadn't been talking for long when Olivia saw the restaurant door open, and two waiters greeted, ""Welcome, sir. How many in your party?""
""Alexander is here."" Olivia lifted her chin to signal.
Victoria turned to look in the direction of her gaze and immediately forgot to breathe.
He wore the same shirt and pants from earlier in the day, looking plain but imposing. He made others subconsciously make way for him.
He was walking towards her with his long legs, and she felt like she would give him her life.
While Victoria was looking at Alexander, Olivia was looking at her.
Olivia thought, 'Loving someone might be like this, completely uncontrollable.'
Even though Victoria had rejected him, she still hadn't let go of her heart.
'Yes, breaking up when it's time to break up is the easiest thing, just a matter of speaking.'
Victoria took a while to wake up, turn around, and sit down.
Olivia suddenly leaned over to Victoria. ""Ask him to pay the bill.""
Victoria looked up at her without hearing anything.
She only felt her heart bursting. She averted her eyes to restrain her unrestrained heart, but it ignored her.
Alexander walked over and stood beside her, hands in his pockets, quietly looking at her for a few seconds, then looked at Olivia. ""Go pay the bill and get reimbursed by me.""
""Okay."" Olivia immediately picked up her phone to pay the bill.
Victoria stared blankly at Olivia leaving, wanting to look at him but not daring to. She lowered her head, gripping her phone on the table tightly. She stood up and said, ""I'm leaving too.""
Alexander kept watching her, refusing to let her go.
Victoria turned sideways, but it was awkward on both sides. Finally, her face turned red, and she sat back down.
After Olivia paid the bill, she quietly left. Alexander glanced at her, then looked down at Victoria, ""Are you done eating?""
""Yes,"" Victoria replied.
""Let's go,"" Alexander said again.
Victoria was stunned. Why should she listen to him?
Unknowingly, she glimpsed his gorgeous hand, felt her heart race, and bowed her head. ""You're blocking the way.""
Alexander didn't move his hand, ""Should I carry you?""
Victoria was so shocked she immediately looked up at him.
She didn't care about her blushing face or her eyes full of Alexander.
He just looked at her calmly and said in a pleasant, low voice, ""It's drizzling outside. If we don't leave now, we'll get wet.""
Victoria remembered it had thundered half an hour ago.
It was best to stay dry. In this cool temperature, it was easy to get cold, which was problematic.
She stood up, holding her phone, and reached for her bag. Alexander leaned over to help her pick up the bag and held her wrist, whispering, ""We've been married for a long time. Holding hands shouldn't be this troublesome.""
Victoria only felt that the wrist he was holding was so hot she wanted to break free.
But was it so hard for him to love someone properly?
Was it so hard to focus on one relationship?
It would be fine if he loved her properly for a while, then got tired and broke up.
But with him being so hot and cold, what was she supposed to do?
Victoria followed him out of the restaurant, and it was indeed drizzling outside.
Later, he settled her in the car and sat beside her.
The car was suddenly quiet as time was passing, one second, two seconds...
Alexander turned to look at her."
