Chapter 790 You Just Need to Keep Me Company
"Alexander, take your hand out."
Victoria mustered a bit of strength and patiently reminded him.
Alexander didn't make a sound, but he also didn't move his hand.
It wasn't until he felt something was off that he slightly moved his hand, intending to grab a tissue. But then he thought for a moment, sat up, and seriously asked her, "Do you need help?"
"What?"
Victoria asked woodenly, hoping it wasn't what she thought.
Alexander immediately leaned close to her ear.
He didn't want anyone else to hear the somewhat embarrassing words he was about to say.
Victoria's face turned beet red, almost as if it were about to bleed.
After Alexander finished speaking and saw that she didn't respond, just shyly covering her face, his face couldn't help but flush as well.
He had not only looked up information online but also consulted a renowned obstetrician.
Since Victoria had given birth, he had to ask about related knowledge.
He wasn't embarrassed at the time, but now in front of Victoria, he suddenly felt shy, even his throat felt a bit itchy.
He pressed her down to grab some tissues, and when he lay back down, he slipped his hand into her clothes and said hoarsely, "Do you want to wipe it or not?"
"Stop talking."
Victoria murmured, a bit anxious.
Alexander suddenly found her covering her face like this to be adorably shy.
She could still get embarrassed.
He didn't say anything, but soon Victoria ran off.
She went to the bathroom, feeling like she was about to break down.
Her phone started receiving congratulatory messages, and calls were coming in.
Alexander was already sitting on the sofa, somewhat disheveled, his hair a bit messy.
He was sitting there lazily, looking in the direction of the bathroom. Honestly, he wanted to go over to prevent her from running away.
But Victoria's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the number on the screen, and Adrian's words suddenly flashed through his mind. His expression gradually turned stern. He picked up her phone with his slender fingers, answered it, and with a hoarse yet commanding voice said, "Hello?"
"Alexander, where's Victoria?"
"She's taking a shower. What do you want?"
Alexander's originally hoarse voice became even more deliberate and commanding.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to say Happy New Year."
"Since you know to send your sister-in-law blessings, I'll accept them on her behalf. Goodbye."
"Alexander—"
"Tell your mom I said Happy New Year."
As he was about to hang up, Alexander remembered to send his regards to Melissa.
Adrian immediately choked up and lowered his head. He had heard from Melissa that she had hit Alexander.
Adrian's emotions were very complicated. He didn't want Alexander's guilt; he just wanted...
After Alexander hung up, Adrian felt sad.
He had just returned to Elysium Country. He originally thought Victoria would come back too, but now it seemed it was just his wishful thinking.
Alexander always had a way to keep her, no matter what.
Adrian could never find the reason why Alexander could keep Victoria.
Why couldn't he do what Alexander did and keep her by his side?
He was sure he could give her the best life, always pamper her, love her, even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would find a way to get them for her.
But she still chose to stay in Ankenra City.
——
When Victoria came out of the bathroom, she immediately stood at the door, "You can use the bathroom now."
"Vicky?"
"You use it, I'll be right..."
"I'm here to catch you."
"Catch me? What?"
Victoria didn't understand.
Alexander scooped her up, his eyes filled with laughter as he looked at her, "Just to catch you."
Looking into her eyes, which were more beautiful than the stars, he felt she wanted to run. Luckily, he was here.
But this time, he remembered to ask her, "Do you want to go back to the bedroom or stay in the living room?"
"Living room."
Victoria quickly made her choice.
"Alright then."
Alexander said, carrying her back to the sofa with his long strides.
This time, however, there was an extra blanket on the sofa.
Alexander draped the blanket over her and reminded her, "You better not move. We're so close that if you accidentally arouse me, I won't hold back."
He lowered his voice, filled with desire, to remind her.
Victoria indeed didn't dare move, but she felt like she might fall off the sofa at any moment.
Alexander whispered in her ear, "Adrian just called you."
"What did he say?"
Victoria asked calmly.
"He just wished you a Happy New Year."
Alexander conveyed Adrian's message with a dismissive smile.
Victoria felt a pang in her heart upon hearing this.
"Did he take care of you like a husband, so meticulously?"
Maybe the night was quiet enough for him to ask such questions in a normal tone.
"Eve was there."
Victoria responded calmly.
But she regretted it as soon as she said it.
Why was she telling him this now?
Alexander buried his face in her neck, clearly restraining his excitement.
He knew she wouldn't let another man take care of her so attentively.
"Adi was there too."
She thought for a moment and added.
"Don't call him Adi."
Alexander suddenly murmured in a commanding tone.
Victoria didn't dislike his tone; she just thought he was being too controlling.
Among friends, they would call each other that, especially since Adrian's stage name was Addie, so she was used to it.
"I don't want you to call another man so affectionately."
He murmured again.
Victoria felt like something small was running around on the tip of her heart.
"Vicky?"
Within seconds, he called her again, his voice filled with ambiguous affection.
Victoria felt uncomfortable, thinking that they didn't seem like a couple on the verge of divorce. Alfred's face flashed through her mind, and she immediately reminded him, "Isn't it almost midnight? Don't forget to send New Year greetings to the group at Serenade Villa."
"What?"
"Aren't Alfred and the others at Serenade Villa without a break?"
Victoria reminded him.
Alexander remembered but couldn't help but complain, "You only remember them, what about me?"
"You? What do you want?"
"My New Year gift."
Alexander pressed her down again, his gaze deep and absorbing.
Victoria held her breath, staring at him blankly.
She felt like she couldn't control her heart anymore. This heart wanted to run to him; she wanted to ask.
But she couldn't.
From now on, she would never chase after him with questions like she used to.
"New Year's gift."
Alexander murmured.
She even heard a hint of regret in his words.
Of course, it was an illusion. What did he have to regret?
He was always so at ease with everything he did.
"Alexander."
'Can we each have our sofa?'
"I don't have that kind of chat group. If you do, add me."
Before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted her.
Then he forcibly held her in his arms, asking her to add him to the chat group.
Victoria discovered that she still had Alexander's Facebook account.
When did they add each other back?
She had forgotten.
But she finally remembered that she was still his secretary.
So, their current position...
As soon as Alexander sent the New Year greetings, the group was filled with greetings and various interesting pictures.
Alexander couldn't help but frown, "Just greetings seem a bit too stingy. Tomorrow, when I wake up, I'll prepare some gifts to give them when we go back."
Victoria immediately switched to her secretary role, "Should I prepare them? What's the specific budget for the gifts?"
Alexander looked down at her serious eyes, his heart tightening. He touched her hair gently and said softly, "Forget it, I'll prepare them. You just need to accompany me."
