Chapter 64 He Said, "Don't Think She’s As Dirty Minded As You."
The car arrived at the entrance of Regal Retreat. "You go back first; I'll come up a bit later," Alexander said."Okay."After replying, she quickly turned to leave, but Alexander held her hand tight again.
She turned to look at him, to which he smiled and asked her, "It seems like you're eager to get away from me, don't you think?"
"I actually just want to get back quickly to use the restroom."
Alexander was reluctant to let go of her hand.Of course, he knew she was just making an excuse.After she left, he casually told the driver his next destination, "Harrington Hotel."
"Got it," the driver replied.The driver did not say a word the entire time, but he couldn't help but recall what had just happened.
Did the all-powerful and aloof Mr. Harrington really hold Miss Kensington’s hand for that long?He even seemed reluctant to let go.Alexander remained stoic and nonchalant throughout the journey; he didn’t even notice that his driver was staring at him in disbelief.
Once they reached the private club of the hotel, he immediately took his seat and downed a glass of wine.
Edward and Benjamin sat beside him; their curiosity piqued.
Edward asked, "What's going on? Why are you drinking so heavily? You just got here."
"Thirsty," Alexander casually replied.The two exchanged glances but didn't press further.Word had it that he went to the factory today and had dined alone with Victoria there."The scent of the perfume on you seems a bit mixed," Edward remarked as he poured him a drink.Mixed?
Taken aback, Alexander raised his eyes to look at him, "How?"
"Usually, you only have Isabella’s perfume on you, a strong floral scent; the fragrance of a mature woman. Tonight, there's also a hint of a light, fresh scent on you," Edward explained.Alexander immediately understood what he meant.But in his mind, he couldn't help but recall Victoria's disdain for the scent in his car.That girl sure had quite a few quirks.But... being discerning was a good thing."I heard Isabella hasn't been feeling well lately. Is everything okay?"
"Should be," Alexander replied lightly, then suddenly asked, "Sebastian hasn't returned yet?"
"Not yet. He always plays for a long time once he's out; business trips are just an excuse for him to party."
"Okay."Alexander didn't say much more.
He picked up his drink again, but as he stared at the liquid in the glass, he suddenly didn't feel like drinking anymore and slowly set it down.Would she, the one who disdained Isabella’s perfume scent, also detest the smell and taste of alcohol?She was so clean. She was perfect in every way, like a jasmine flower.No...
Jasmine was pure white and flawless.She... perhaps was akin to a white rose with thorns.Alexander felt that was somewhat fitting, and he couldn't help but smile as more thoughts of Victoria ran through his mind.Edward and Benjamin, puzzled, couldn't help but stare at him.Feeling uncomfortable under their gaze, Alexander coldly asked, "If you have something to say, say it."
"You and Victoria came back from the factory together tonight, right? Did something happen on the way?"
"Did she confess her feelings to you?"The two of them bantered back and forth.Alexander frowned, "Confess what?"
"That she likes you."In his mind, however, he recalled her saying she would definitely divorce him because he was having an affair.Thinking of that, he couldn't help but mock himself, "All she can think about now is divorce."
"I heard she seems to have a good relationship with Adrian. At Adrian's concert a few days ago, he even had her pretend to be an audience member, brought her up on-stage, and then proposed. Although it was staged, it looked real," Benjamin suddenly mentioned."They wouldn't, right?" Edward suddenly had a dreadful thought."What?" Alexander shot a piercing look at Edward.
"I mean, they are of similar age and often play together. Them having fun together might lead to the bedroom. You know how young people are these days; they play harder than we do." Edward hastened to explain."Don't think she’s as dirty minded as you."Alexander rose abruptly and walked away with purposeful strides.
