Chapter 563 Talking About Feelings Can Age a Person by Ten Years
Victoria said, "I know you might still have feelings for me, but Alexander, it's over."
That kind of torment felt like dying, and she never wanted to go through it again.
And seeing Isabella tonight only made her more resolute in her decision—focus on her career.
Love should be the icing on the cake of life, not everything.
Alexander approached her, his beautiful eyes looking at her with disappointment, questioning, "Did she scare you that much?"
Victoria smiled and. After a few seconds, she replied, "If you say so."
She didn't even like to argue anymore.
She just wished that she didn't have to see Isabella again.
That night, Victoria lay on the large bed in the master bedroom, far from the city's noise, yet she still couldn't sleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she thought of the day they went to take their wedding photos.
The beautiful marriage they longed for probably reached its peak at that moment.
Then, they lost all its beauty.
She got up and stared blankly at the huge wedding photo on the opposite wall, falling into a night of insomnia.
She was already twenty-four years old.
As long as she wasn't involved in a relationship, she felt everything was fine.
Once it was about a relationship, she could age ten years.
When Victoria woke up in the morning and was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that Alexander hadn't mentioned what the third floor was for, but she decided not to think too much about it since they wouldn't be together anyway.
"Come have breakfast," Alexander said to her.
She had just come downstairs when she heard his voice.
She turned her gaze and only saw his desirable back.
Alexander had the ability to make people follow him anywhere.
And she happened to be hungry.
As soon as she entered the dining room, she smelled a familiar aroma.
In fact, she hadn't eaten that food for a long time.
After working with Dennis, she had given up all carbs and high-calorie foods.
And now, on the beautiful vintage plate, there were four beautifully fried pieces of bread.
She felt a pang of sadness, her eyes growing tearful.
It was something that happened last year, but it felt like a lifetime ago.
Her eyes reddened, and she silently pulled out a chair to sit down.
Alexander placed a glass of milk in front of her without saying anything. He sat across from her, quietly eating the bread he had fried.
The table was very large.
His silence made her look up at him, and then she quickly lower her eyes.
She told herself not to think too much.
It was just that her hobby happened to match his preference.
He didn't like it just for her.
And she didn't particularly like bread; it was just convenient.
However, when she picked up the bread with her hand, it still trembled.
She lowered her head and bit into the bread forcefully, tears immediately falling, just wetting her index finger holding the bread.
However, she could only sniff and continue eating.
She quickly fixed her emotions.
She thought, 'Alexander is the CEO of a listed company, why would he like to eat such common food?'
"From now on, Felix will be your personal driver," Alexander suddenly spoke.
Victoria looked up in confusion and questioned, "What?"
She thought, 'Felix as my personal driver? But Felix is Brett and Eloise's driver.'
Alexander explained, "I've discussed it with the elders, and they also think it's the best arrangement. Felix is someone we can completely trust."
Victoria asked, "Why?"
She couldn't see his point..
Alexander replied, "Mark was bribed by Isabella."
Victoria looked at him in surprise.
Alexander added, "Otherwise, why do you think she timed it so perfectly?"
Victoria felt a bit dizzy, partly because she hadn't slept all night and partly because of what he had said.
"I'm very sorry," Alexander suddenly said again.
Victoria's mind was in a mess. She thought, 'What's wrong with him?'
If she had known, she would have slept well last night. Now she had no energy reserves and couldn't analyze what he might be saying.
"For making you lose faith in love." He didn't let her headache last too long and explained.
Victoria looked at his expression, gradually avoiding his gaze. She lowered her eyes and silently took another bite of bread.
"But I still want to try again," Alexander said.
Victoria glanced at him and quickly lowered her head.
Accidentally meeting his charming and calm eyes, she felt a mix of emotions.
She felt his apology was very sincere.
He seemed to have finally realized the problem.
After thinking for a moment, she softly said, "Can I accept your apology and then you take back what you just said?"
Alexander asked, "Why?"
Victoria said, "Don't try anymore."
Alexander smiled faintly, but he said nothing more.
Victoria didn't want to continue with the relationship, but she was sure of one thing, "Don't ask Felix to be my driver. Grandpa and Grandma are already used to him. Besides, I only film at the studio, I won't go anywhere else. Even if I do, I have my own car."
"Mrs. Harrington driving that kind of car would be laughed at," Alexander told her.
"But everyone now knows that the current Mrs. Harrington is Miss Tessa," Victoria reminded him.
Alexander suddenly lost his appetite, put down the half-eaten bread, and looked at her.
After finishing her meal, Victoria was directly taken to the set by him.
Victoria said, "Mr. Harrington, Thank you for personally bringing me back. Goodbye."
Finally able to part, Victoria felt a bit elated, unbuckled her seatbelt, and wanted to run.
"Are you going to leave just like that?" Alexander asked her in dissatisfaction.
She reflexively looked at her wrist being held, then looked up at him, "Mr. Harrington, do you have something else to say? I'm all ears."
She tried to break free from Alexander's grasp, thinking, 'Why couldn't he just talk properly?'
Alexander said, "Victoria, I'll come to see you tonight."
Victoria immediately stopped moving, just staring at him in shock.
She thought, 'Why is he coming again? Isn't he afraid of being embarrassed?'
Then she spoke, "Please don't come, okay?"
Victoria realized that arguing with him with a tough attitude was useless, so she continued in a gentle manner.
"No." Alexander heard some noise outside. Knowing they had to part, he couldn't care about saying anything else and leaned in.
Victoria instinctively dodged, and when the back of her head hit the seat, his lips landed firmly on hers.
They used the same toothpaste, and their breath smelled the same.
At this moment, her heart was beating rapidly, and she just let him kiss her in a daze.
Alexander kissed her a few times and then just gently pressed his lips against hers.
He only felt that this moment was too wonderful and wanted to stay like this a little longer.
His hand holding her wrist slowly moved to hold her slender fingers, squeezing her fingers seriously. Then he said to her, "If you don't want to trouble Felix, I'll pick you up and drop you off at work."
Victoria was pressed against his forehead. The overly intimate gesture made her afraid to breathe recklessly, let alone speak.
As long as she moved a little, she could kiss him again.
He whispered, "And I promise, you'll want to see me tonight."
