Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 87

VICTORIA’S POV

All the while, I was in a good mood and somewhat excited hearing Grandma call us home for dinner.

It’s the first time she is inviting me home. Somewhere in my heart, I know her acceptance of me is because of the baby and my status; still, I agreed to meet her.

Due to his affection towards me, Alessandro has abandoned almost everything, including his grandmother, whom he holds dearly. She raised him as her own child following the demise of his parents.

Alessandro always has a deep connection with his grandmother, just like every other child. I understand that feeling because I also had a fair share of mine at a young age when my grandparents were alive. Given that he is finally with me, it would be selfish to request that he give up everything for my sake.

In a relationship, sacrifice is an inevitable aspect that will appear, and Alessandro is beginning to recognize this.

In this new journey with Alessandro, it’s not only me anymore, but it’s us. We started talking and confessing, even though I kept a big part of it a secret.

I don’t want him to panic knowing the first miscarriage or make him regret and feel guilty at any cost when we have just started to learn happiness.

I appreciate the attention he gives me, but I don’t want him to choose between his family and me. Similarly, I can’t do that with my own family anymore, so I’ve learned to accept the ups and downs. Alessandro feels the same way.

However, the closer I get to the Devonte mansion, the more I feel odd. It’s a strange emotion, and I don’t know why I am being overly sensitive.

It could be because it’s my first time officially getting accepted by Grandma Nina or something else I don’t know.

“Victoria...” I was startled when I was shaken lightly by Aless.

I gasped in silence before turning to him and found him staring at me with concerned eyes.

I blinked. “Wh... what happened?”

His brows furrowed as he held my hand. “You alright?”

I smiled. “Of course, I’m alright.” I suppressed the strange tension that was building up inside me.

Alessandro watched me carefully and then shook his head. “Don’t lie to me, Victoria. We arrived at the mansion, and I was talking to you, but you didn’t respond. You were so lost in your own thoughts that I had to shake you to get your attention. And now you’re telling me that everything is fine?”

Mansion? I blinked once and turned to the side, only to gasp again. So, he is right!

I pursed my lips. “Umm... I was just...” I stopped, don’t know what to answer him.

I heard him sighing audibly.

“Hey baby, look at me.”

I obliged, and he cupped my cheeks. “Trust me in this, okay? Just once, Victoria. No matter what happens, I will never leave your side ever. Okay?”

I leaned into his touch and smiled, acknowledging that he was right. It was time for me to trust him and stop overthinking things.

“Ahem...”

A sudden throat-clearing sound caught us off-guard as we turned behind and found Dominic staring at us with a blank face.

“Can we go out of the car now?” He asked, maintaining the expression.

“Yeah, of course.” I heard Alessandro’s taut reply, which sounded somewhat cold.

I just don’t get the reason behind his jealousy and this awkwardness. However, I did not intrigue him by fueling the fire more, and silently, the three of us came out of the car.

Holding onto Alessandro’s arm, we walked inside. As I walked in, the memories started thrusting back to me, making me relive the time.

Throughout those three years, my encounters with this place were never pleasant, and it was here that I decided to divorce Alessandro and uphold my self-respect.

As I approached the spot where I had knelt six months ago to ask for a divorce instead of sharing my good news with him, my heart began to quiver. However, that decision proved right, and even though I am still here, everything is different this time.

I know this time, this decision is the best thing I did.

How time changes the situation for one place, right?

My grip on Alessandro tightened as he pulled me closer. His one arm wrapped me around as he caressed my back assuringly.

Finally, we stepped into the mansion. For the first time, I am excited to be here.

The head servant greeted us and welcomed us inside, but she was stunned when her eyes fell on Dominic. Her face turned pale, and she was afraid as if she had just witnessed a ghost.

Dominic only sneered, and Aless said, “He is alive and came to see Grandma today. It’s a surprise. Please don’t inform her.”

The servant gulped and then nodded. Of course, she is not in the position to deny the young master of the family. Afterward, she guided us gradually to meet Grandma.

Grandma is in the private living room, where she spends most of her time. Dominic paused suddenly, and when we turned to him, he smiled.
