Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 25

VICTORIA’S POV

“Why are you here?” I asked, blinking my eyes at him and confused, along with maybe a little bit of shock.

Whatever it is, I didn’t really expect Antonio here.

I thought he doesn’t like to mingle with employees unnecessarily. What more could a person who is passionate about peace want than that?

“Yeah, to pick you up.” He replied, completely ignoring Amber’s surprised gasp from my behind.

He is not doing this here, does he? Good God, his presence before the female washroom for me is suspiciously intriguing for the people who do not have a slight idea about our relationship.

“You don’t have to do that, Antonio.” I said, widening my eyes, gesturing for him not to turn on his ‘protective brother mood’ before Amber, or it would be the breaking news of E Shine tomorrow.

However, he totally ignored my silent request with his next words.

“Come with me, and I will take you home.”

With that, he walked away from there without sparing a mere glance at Amber.

Immediately, I sensed my back was burning. Certainly, she is glaring at me, burying a hole there, maybe.

But do I care? Frankly, a part of me does, and the other part does not. It’s not really necessary to announce my private matter to her or anyone. I will probably reveal my true identity if this goes out of control.

And just like my brother, I walked away as well, ignoring Amber and her thoughts.

I informed Daniel about my return home, and he happily agreed. Of course, he would like to have fun with his friends. He is such a social butterfly! And somehow, this guy reminds me of someone I have known for a long time. Well, it happens. People come, and people go; only their memory stays in a part of our souls.

Keeping my mobile in the bag, I went inside the car.

“You shouldn’t have done that when I told you that I’m not coming home for dinner today,” I said to my brother, a little annoyed because of his previous action.

“There’s no need to socialize with these people,” he dismissed me instantly while typing on his laptop.

Yeah, of course. I rolled my eyes at him.

“I have to get to know my staff so they can do a better job, Antonio. You can’t just say that!”

Saying that I shut his laptop in the middle of the work, taking him by surprise. “And please concentrate on me when I am talking! That’s such a bad habit, Antonio. Your future wife will be bored if you maintain this habit!”

He blinked at me, a little surprised, and the fact is, I was also a little surprised too. I have never behaved like this before. My pregnancy is making me impatient and moody, I guess.

Antonio scratched his neck first and then raised his hand high. “Fine, won’t forget this next time. Happy?”

I couldn’t help rolling my eyes at him and giggled.

Yeah, confirmed pregnancy hormones. My mood swings in different directions, for sure.
