Chapter 55 He Knew He Had Never Fulfilled His Duties as a Husband
Alexander's burning hand gripped her wrist. She didn't struggle, fearing the medicine would drop, but she was completely unprepared for his next move. He lowered his head. Suddenly, her palm felt hot, and she instinctively tried to pull away. But Alexander had already leisurely swallowed the medicine with a sip of water.
Seeing her flushed face, he chuckled lightly, "We're husband and wife; why are you so flustered?"Victoria looked at him in confusion.Husband and wife?She didn't dare to say anything else, only awkwardly placing her hands behind her back, twisting and rubbing the palm he had kissed. She felt like she was about to die. She had been taken advantage of by another woman's man.
She stepped back, lowering her head to avoid his gaze, "Well, you should rest early, I......""Hmm?""I'm going to sleep in the guest room.""Victoria."Alexander suddenly became incredibly serious."You're sleeping here.""But you're sick; it's not appropriate for you to sleep on the sofa.""But if you leave, who will take care of me? What if I feel unwell in the middle of the night?""I... I'll get Miss Montgomery to come over.""Can we not mention her when we're together? Hmm?"Alexander asked with a helpless smile, sounding very serious. He didn't like her always bringing up Isabella. She could stop mentioning her, as long as he got a divorce.Victoria lowered her gaze, "Once we're divorced, you won't hear me mention her again."She spoke softly, then tried to leave.Alexander immediately grabbed her wrist, "Victoria, can't you understand what I'm saying?""Mr. Harrington, if you could understand me, you wouldn't keep dragging this on."She spoke seriously.This time, she hated him.Hated his lack of boundaries.Alexander held onto her hand without letting go, but despite his harsh grip, he spoke in a patient and warm tone, "You sleep here. I'm just running a fever; it's not inappropriate for you to sleep on the sofa."
Hearing this, something stirred in Victoria's heart, and her eyes grew hot and blurry.She looked at him.Didn't he understand?They were no longer suitable to live under the same roof.Victoria looked into his dark eyes, unable to discern his emotions, so she lowered her gaze in disappointment, "If you keep doing this, how will I... I...""What?"Alexander saw that she was about to cry and couldn't speak clearly, so he grew a bit anxious."How will I... remarry?"As she said this, she was on the verge of sobbing.She was already known as a jinx, and now she was living under the same roof with a man; she was truly beyond help.In fact, she was just afraid that she would overthink and couldn't clear her feelings.But how could she tell him this.Fortunately, he believed her excuse.
Alexander looked at her for a long time, not saying anything. Suddenly, he quickly lifted her from the ground, "What are you doing? Alexander, stop it."She didn't dare to move; he was only wearing a bath towel around his waist, and his upper body was completely bare.
His body was well-toned; she had never seen him bare like this.
Alexander threw her onto the bed, then knelt on one knee in front of her, looking down at her, "My woman, thinking of marrying someone else? Believe it or not, I can make you give up that idea right now."Thinking of Adrian who was always with her, Alexander found it hard to control his temper."What are you trying to do?"She protected her chest with both hands, her gaze full of fear and caution.But Alexander's strong masculine scent was gradually approaching.She thought back to their encounter at her twentieth birthday party, that glance...Her heart started to race, even when he got closer, she just laid there stiffly."Victoria, what can your husband do to you?"Victoria felt a bit suffocated.He pinched her waist, "At most..."He suddenly stopped speaking and was just looking at her pitiful eyes.She probably didn't know how much her vulnerability was affecting him.But even though they were husband and wife, he knew he had never fulfilled his duties as a husband.
