Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 120

VICTORIA'S POV...

"Is Leo asleep, Aless?" I asked my husband, who was swinging our son in his arms lightly.

Without removing his eyes from him, he nodded. "Yeah." His brows furrowed as he hold him in his arms so cautiously.

Almost a week has passed and I have only seen a caring and lovable husband and a father in Aless. These days, he didn't have time to rest, while taking care of us. but, he never let out a single sigh of his mouth.

Even though there are lots of people in the house, Aless was always on his toes. He even, transferred his office to home, so that none of us face any trouble and he is always beside us.

Leo is a lucky child to have a father like Aless.

Soon, he kept Leo on his little cot and came to the bed. He kissed the side of my head before pulling me in his arms and kissing my head. And soon, we drifted to a comfortable silence.

My eyes dropped to his hand. His left wrist was hugged by that vintage watch. It's been a week since we arrived at the hospital, but I didn't get time to ask him about this.

I tilted my head a little, getting his view. "Aless, can I ask you a question?" I asked.

He again kissed my head. "Hmm..." He hummed.

I couldn't help but caress the watch slowly. "It was you that night, wasn't it?" I finally let the question out. "Four years ago, it was you whom I saved, right?"

He remained silent for a second as I felt his grip tighten on me. "Yes, baby. It was you who saved me." He took a pause before adding, "And for years, I kept tolerating that vicious woman!" His tone sounded slightly furious recalling Camilla.

I am sure, if he had a chance, he would have killed her again and again. But, she is dead now.

I caressed his chest comfortingly, "Hey, it's alright. It's in the past now and she is gone too. Let's not recall it anymore. I am just glad that, I could save you that night. And now, you are mine." I smiled, thinking about it.

I heard him chuckle lightly, "Yeah... I love you." he confessed. Well, he does that every day now.

Soon, I let him free and sat straight. Aless pulled his laptop onto his lap and started working. I didn't disturb him because he already gives us enough time and work is important too.

I also pulled my laptop onto my lap and turned my concentration on my laptop and get busy with work. Suddenly, something came to my mind as I called for Aless.

However, he didn't respond.

"What happened, Aless? Why are you not talking?" I asked and still he didn't reply. Frowning, I turned my gaze beside only to find Alessandro staring at his laptop screen. His brows farrowing deeply and arms folded on his chest.

I watched the screen, following his gaze. Only a chart table was open there which I am not aware of. At this point, he seemed under a deep stress. Because he is beside me. I am talking to him and he is not responding!

He seemed so close but too far away from me.

I touched his arm softly and called for him again, "Alessandro?"

As if he just realised my call and jerked out from his whatever situation he was in. He turned to me worriedly.

"What happened!? What is wrong? Do you need something? Is Leo awake?" He asked hastily.

I stopped him by holding his hand tightly. "Aless, calm down. Nothing happened." I assured him and then he only stopped, watching me in a daze.

"Everything is fine?" He asked, trying to digest the situation.

"Yeah, it is," I said softly, feeling worried for my fiancee.

I watched him carefully. His deep blue eyes are kind of dull. Dark circles under his eyes are visible. the stubbles are not in good shape. Alessandro is in lots of stress recently and I didn't notice!

I gasped inwardly. Well, my own condition was not that good and while keeping my son in check, I became a little careless toward my husband. I felt guilty inside when, he is being careful toward both of us, I didn't notice his tension.

"Victoria? What's wrong?" He asked.

I shook my head, suppressing my worry.
