Chapter 50 He Kissed Her Again Assertively
"What were you going to say to Grandma?"
In the corridor outside the door, Alexander forcefully pinned her against the wall.
Victoria looked at the angry man in front of her, her heart pounding like a drum, whether because of the cold hard touch behind her or his domineering attitude, she didn’t know.
He was the man who held all her love and pain, but he seemed unaware.
Victoria's hands were pressed against the wall as she held her breath and looked at him. Under his oppressive aura, she gradually became desolate, whispering, "I just wanted to tell Grandma that Miss Montgomery is pregnant."
"Grandma just got better, and you're telling her this? Are you hoping she'll get worse?"
There was dissatisfaction in Alexander's sexy voice.
"Grandma is not as fragile as we think, and we can't possibly..."
Keep it a secret forever.
It was bound to be revealed, so it might as well be when Old Lady Harrington was stable.
"Victoria, please discuss things with me before you act, otherwise..."
He suddenly sighed.
"Otherwise what?"
Victoria asked him, puzzled.
"If anything happens to Grandma, we'll all regret it."
Alexander spoke to her seriously.
Victoria's heart skipped a beat.
Of course, she knew that if something like that happened, they would all regret it. But what should she do?
"I understand."
She agreed, feeling despondent.
Seeing her in a daze, Alexander unconsciously raised his hand to cradle her face, murmuring, "Good girl."
"So how about we quietly go through the divorce procedures first?"
She tried to negotiate with him again.
Alexander's eyebrows furrowed instantly; his hand gently caressed her face a couple of times, then he questioned, "You want a divorce that much?"
"I just... want to let you both go."
She said softly, yet very seriously.
Alexander felt a bitterness in his heart hearing this, "Let us go? Me and Isabella?"
"Yes."
"We don't need your sacrifice."
He said, suddenly smiling.
Victoria looked puzzled, not understanding why he was looking at her like that.
"Don't think about the divorce for now, okay?"
Alexander coaxed her in a good-natured manner.
But Victoria didn't understand at all, why was he doing this?
The divorce... they could quietly handle it, and no one would tell the elders.
Now he was telling her not to think about the divorce for now?
He said this before to reassure Old Lady Harrington.
But now, Old Lady Harrington wasn't here, so why was he still saying this?
"No, we will definitely divorce."
Her voice was very gentle, so even when she was stubborn, it was soft.
Alexander looked at her, smiled helplessly, and asked, "Do you have the final say?"
But she persisted, "It's my marriage; of course I have the final say."
He had slept with Isabella. He could no longer be her husband.
Although she had nothing, she couldn't accept her husband sleeping with another woman and then returning to her bed.
"Is that so? Let's try."
Alexander’s fingers unintentionally touched her lips. He looked at her there and suddenly fell silent, but his thumb couldn't help but gently stroke her lips again.
Her lips were soft, not prickly like her gaze.
He couldn't help but want to kiss her again.
Her lips had been hurt by his previous kiss and hadn't healed yet. It would probably hurt if he kissed her, but...
Victoria stubbornly and confusedly looked at him. When she felt his finger touching her lips, she subconsciously raised her hand to grab his wrist and push him away, but...
Suddenly, everything went dark.
It was at the moment when her hand grasped his that he couldn't restrain himself any longer and forcefully kissed her.
