Chapter 785 Why Did You Suddenly Stop Wanting Strawberry?
Victoria saw him clearly when he had already pinned her against the wall.
Alexander, panting, looked at her with such anger that she felt she had committed some unforgivable crime.
"Does Mr. Harrington have any other instructions?"
"Do you have to talk to me like that?"
"If there's anything wrong with what I said, please correct me, Mr. Harrington."
Didn't use that tone to scare her; she didn't know what she said wrong.
Alexander was also feeling frustrated. Seeing her stubborn face, he suppressed his intense emotions and coldly said, "Come back with me to Serenade Villa."
"I'm not going."
"Since you signed the agreement, I won't make things difficult for you."
Victoria was stunned, then remembered the agreement Eve had given her at the airport.
Looking at his expression, he seemed to let her go. She slowly lowered her eyes, "Let go of me first."
Alexander's hands were gripping her arms but didn't release them immediately.
Seeing that she believed him, he felt a mix of emotions but knew he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.
"Don't run, be careful not to hurt your back, I..."
"Don't worry, I don't need you to carry me."
Victoria interrupted him before he could finish.
Alexander stared at her intently and suddenly laughed, "Who said I was going to carry you? I'm still weak myself."
Victoria's face turned red; wishful thinking was embarrassing.
Alexander always stared at her so intently.
Victoria walked ahead, with Alexander following behind. She turned around nervously and stopped, "You walk in front."
"Why?"
"You walk in front."
Victoria repeated, looking down.
"Aren't ladies supposed to go first?"
"Aren't you weak?"
"So?"
"If you faint again, I won't see it if you're behind me."
Alexander suddenly recalled the anxious voice he heard when he fainted.
So, it wasn't Arabella; it was Victoria.
Alexander looked at Victoria for a long time, then lowered his head and walked in front.
He had never felt a path so long.
He always wanted to look back, but he couldn't.
He couldn't let her know he missed her.
Alexander felt a deep pain in his heart, convinced abandoned by her.
She was the type to quietly leave you.
Her ruthlessness was silent.
Thinking this, Alexander walked faster.
Victoria didn't understand why he said he was weak but walked so fast.
Maybe it was because of his long legs?
She quickly followed, and just as the elevator opened, he went in, and she immediately stood to the side.
There were two doctors inside, making it feel safe.
But the two doctors left after two floors, making Victoria nervous again.
Alexander sighed inwardly, looked at her, and asked, "Why did you save me?"
"What?"
Victoria, lost in her thoughts, didn't hear clearly.
"You hate me so much and want to get rid of me, so why did you save me?"
He asked again.
Victoria lowered her head, reflexively bit her lip, then looked at him with her big eyes.
Why indeed?
It was just...
A natural reaction in that situation.
Alexander looked very haggard and had collapsed.
And Edward said he...
Fortunately, she later learned he just had a fever, which brought her some relief.
But she couldn't say these things.
She didn't want him to misunderstand again.
Alexander now looked very calm, determined to sever ties with her, and ready to part completely.
She thought it was good now, so she smiled and said, "Strawberry can't be without a dad."
"Yes, she already doesn't have a mom, and if she loses her dad too..."
He couldn't say anything more harsh and closed his mouth in time because Victoria in front of him had lost both her mom and dad.
Alexander lowered his head, hands in his pockets, and fell silent.
Victoria thought it was good he shut up; the less he talked, the better.
They found Maximus's car in the parking lot. After Victoria got in, she glanced around.
Maximus liked vintage cars; she needed to figure out how to drive them.
Alexander, in the passenger seat, suddenly leaned over to help her start the car.
Victoria instinctively leaned back against the seat, but Alexander just sat back in the passenger seat and said indifferently, "You don't need to be so guarded. The moment you signed away Strawberry, all my coercion towards you ended."
Victoria didn't explain, just slowly drove the car out.
It wasn't even six o'clock, but it was already dark.
She wasn't used to driving it, so she drove slowly.
When they arrived at Serenade Villa, she didn't get out. As he was about to get out, she turned to him, "When will you arrange for me to leave?"
Alexander paused for a moment, then smiled at her, "As soon as I find my phone, it won't take long."
Victoria gripped the steering wheel, silently watching him.
But before getting out, Alexander suddenly retracted his long legs, sat back, and looked at her, extending his slender hand, "Lend me your phone."
"Why?"
Victoria didn't want to lend her items to others.
"I might have a fever again, feeling dizzy, and don't want to move. Let Alfred bring it out."
"I'll call him."
Victoria looked at him for a few seconds, then, before he could ask her to check his temperature, she found her phone and called Alfred.
Alexander couldn't help but smile, then looked outside.
The car door was open, and a few snowflakes drifted in, landing on his shirt.
"Close the door, don't catch a cold."
Victoria instinctively showed concern.
It wasn't intentional; it was just that being around someone with a fever made those words come out naturally.
It wasn't because this feverish person was him.
But Alexander became increasingly gloomy as if they were heading to a terrifying place.
Somewhere, fireworks were going off; she couldn't tell the direction, but it was the sound of fireworks.
Victoria immediately shut her mouth, silently telling herself not to speak carelessly again.
Alexander suddenly laughed, "Victoria."
"What?"
His voice was low, and so was hers.
She turned to look at him, waiting for him to continue.
"Why did you suddenly give up on Strawberry?"
He asked her seriously.
Victoria stared at him, not knowing how to refute it.
Could she say she wouldn't give up on Strawberry?
But he always forced her to make various decisions, not just presenting agreements but also using those tactics to keep her around.
She just wanted to completely separate from him.
At least this New Year, she wouldn't have to stay with him.
They couldn't even joke around freely, not even deliberately.
The elders always wanted them to be happy together.
Victoria just hoped she wouldn't show disappointment or sadness, or make the elders unhappy.
During this joyful holiday, she just felt everyone should be happy.
If she is left alone, the Harrington family might just feel regret.
But they wouldn't be unhappy because they had Strawberry.
Strawberry was everyone's world.
The elders all loved Strawberry, and so did Alexander.
Victoria was still looking at Alexander, still unsure how to answer him, but he questioned again.
"Isn't she the treasure you risked your life for? Why did you suddenly give her up?"
