Chapter 687 Could She Be a Spy Sent by Alexander?
Adrian was already bawling his eyes out when he tried to speak.
Victoria wanted to give it a shot with him too, but he was Alexander's cousin.
He was awesome, but besides saying thanks, what else could she say to him?
If it were any other guy, she might even offer herself to show her gratitude, but he was Adrian, Alexander's cousin.
"What do I gotta do to make you give me a shot?"
When Victoria's tears started falling, Adrian couldn't help but cry too, but he still smiled and asked her, pleading with his eyes.
Victoria helplessly leaned in to hug him, "Adrian, I'm sorry."
"You two are divorced."
Adrian said this with a heavy heart.
When she was bedridden, he wanted to be her husband.
When she couldn't move, he wanted to personally take care of her. A woman's strength was always less than a man's, and Eve sometimes hurt her while taking care of her. It broke his heart watching it and he wanted to go to Alexander to get the divorce papers.
Only her husband could truly take care of her closely, he didn't want her to get hurt anymore.
But he didn't dare to ask for the divorce papers.
He was scared Alexander would find out and then come to take Victoria away.
He wouldn't let Alexander take her away again, even if she didn't belong to him, she no longer needed Alexander.
That man who left her battered and near death, she no longer belonged to him.
"Adrian, find a girl you admire who also loves you. Don't waste any more time on me."
Victoria saw how much he was suffering and just softly told him.
"I can't."
Adrian refused sadly but firmly.
He tried to find other women, tried to give her up, countless times.
"I have nothing left for you to like. I've been married, I have a kid, and I have the risk of being paralyzed at any time. Did you forget? The doctor told you that right in front of you."
The blow to Victoria's waist was too heavy, too heavy for her small frame to bear.
She didn't know how much effort and suffering it took to be able to sit up.
Indeed, she had the risk of being paralyzed that the doctor told him personally.
"I don't care."
Adrian said.
Victoria didn't know what to say to Adrian.
Turned out there were really a lot of fools in this world.
"I am willing to stay by your side forever, even if you are paralyzed, I will be your legs."
"But my legs are fine."
Victoria couldn't help but laugh.
Adrian held her hand and put the ring back on her finger, "I will wear this ring every time I see him. I want him to be in more pain than us."
Victoria silently looked at him and finally fell silent.
Definitely, they had met.
They would definitely meet, he was back in the country for filming, how could they not meet?
Victoria's heart tightened, then she changed the subject, softly asking, "How are Grandpa and Grandma?"
"They are doing well."
Adrian replied.
Victoria didn't say anything more, watching Eve come back in with Strawberry, smiling more naturally, "Ms. Wood, bring Strawberry to see Adrian."
"Okay."
Eve agreed and brought Strawberry to see Adrian.
Adrian held Strawberry on his lap and said, "She looks a lot like me, doesn't she?"
"You are related by blood, of course, you would look alike."
Eve said, standing beside them.
Adrian hated the term "blood" and stubbornly told Victoria, "I am her godfather."
"Isn't that against your family hierarchy?"
Eve asked.
"I want to be her godfather."
Adrian stubbornly insisted again.
Eve said, "But you are both a Harrington."
"Why'd Frank hire you to take care of Victoria? Why is it that you can argue with me, but can't do anything else right?"
Adrian thought about how Eve often accidentally hurt Victoria and couldn't help but snap back.
Eve got hit where it hurt and immediately shut up.
Victoria sighed helplessly, "You two were there for me when I needed it most. Do you have to argue every time you meet?"
Frank walked in carrying groceries and, seeing Adrian, looked a bit annoyed. But after putting the groceries away, he still came to the living room to greet, "Hi, Mr. Harrington."
"Frank, did you hire this woman? Do you know her background? She's not a spy sent by Alexander, is she?"
Adrian said.
Frank glanced at Eve, who was already looking very upset and holding back her anger, and patiently replied, "She is my ex-girlfriend, I know her well."
The three of them stared blankly at Frank.
Only Strawberry was babbling in Adrian's arms, but couldn't say anything understandable.
"She is also the only person I've ever dated."
Frank added, as if to make his previous statement more solid.
"Are you crazy?"
Eve couldn't hold back anymore.
Frank stood there with his hands behind his back, trying hard to keep his cool.
He wasn't crazy, he just...
Victoria and Adrian couldn't help but exchange glances. Frank was forty-two, Eve was thirty-two, so when they were dating...
"So Frank likes young women. Now that you're so old, you definitely don't have a chance anymore, right?"
"Who are you calling old?"
Eve immediately started arguing with Adrian when she heard him call her old.
"I'm pursuing her again."
Frank suddenly said.
Then the large living room fell silent again.
This family made up of three different surnames, originally thought to be just helplessly relying on each other, now it seemed...
Victoria looked at Frank, who was so serious and a bit nervous, then at Eve's face, which looked like a palette and couldn't help but laugh.
Laughing made her waist hurt again, but she really couldn't help it.
Why was Frank so adorable?
"You definitely won't accept, right? You think you're not good enough for her?"
"How could it be that? I'm only thirty-two, he's already an old man."
Eve said.
Frank frowned at the word "old man" and then looked at Eve uncertainly.
Sure enough, Eve disliked his age.
But he had always been working out, his physique was no worse than a young man's and his physical condition was much better than most young people. Few could compare to him.
Eve realized her words were a bit harsh and immediately looked at Frank worriedly, but he was clearly already hurt, "I didn't mean it that way, I just don't like Adrian."
Frank lowered his head, "Got it."
Then Eve saw him turn and walk out, looking very sad.
Eve suddenly became less aggressive and then blamed Adrian, "It's all your fault for always provoking me."
Adrian suddenly realized these two were quite sad and shut his mouth.
Eve was about to go after Frank but accidentally saw the divorce papers that had fallen from Adrian's pocket and froze.
Adrian was holding the divorce papers when he left.
Eve sneaked into Frank's room at night after Victoria had gone to bed. Frank, unable to sleep because of being called old, was doing push-ups and immediately turned his head when he heard a noise.
"What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"Why are you here?"
Frank's heart raced when he saw Eve.
He was like a boy experiencing his first crush.
"Didn't you see Adrian holding the divorce papers?"
"Mr. Harrington is really going to divorce Mrs. Harrington. Once it reaches Ankenra City, will they take effect immediately?"
Eve asked again.
