Jealous

As Alaric thought about it, he was startled. Then, he pressed her lips with 

his finger and said deeply, So what if I’m jealous? Don’t forget that you are 

still my wife.His voice was raspy and alluring. As he spoke, he slowly 

leaned in closer to her. He was so close that Victoria could feel his hot 

breath against her face

Just as their lips were about to touch, Victoria spoke up. So, what if I’m 

legally your wife? What right do you have to be jealous?” 

Alaric stopped in his tracks upon hearing her words

Looking at his reaction, Victoria smiled disdainfully. Let me rephrase that

If you get jealous because of me, what will become of Claudia?” 

When Alaric heard her talking about another person, his lust vanished

Since he didn’t expect her to bring Claudia up, his eyes turned cold as he 

spoke. Why are you bringing her up?”

Am I not allowed to? Why must you bring up Noel, then?” 

After he heard her words, Alaric kept quiet

After looking at each other in silence, Alaric released her and got out of 

bed. On the other hand, Victoria propped herself up and looked at her 

wrists. Both her wrists were red from where Alaric had grasped her

That’s rough of him,Victoria mumbled as she got out of bed and picked 

up the laptop on the floor

Since the device had been thrown to the ground, she opened it to check if 

everything worked fine. A minute later, she realized her laptop was broken 

since she couldn’t get it to start

That’s just great. It looks like I can’t work tonight

Thinking about this, she sighed and took out her phone. Let’s stop here 

since something’s wrong with my laptop. We’ll continue tomorrow at the 

company,she wrote. Then, she sent the text to Yasmin and kept her 

laptop in the bag

While she was tidying up, Alaric stood beside her the entire time. Although 

he was emitting a cold aura, he didn’t leave the room. Seeing that she had 

kept her laptop away, he asked, Aren’t you going back to work?” 

When Victoria heard his words, she glared at him angrily and bellowed

How can I work when my laptop is broken? What am I supposed to work 

with?” 

Alaric was startled when he heard her words. After a while, he approached 

her and reached his hand out. Let me have a look at it.” 

No.Victoria refused. She didn’t want him to touch her laptop when he 

was the one who had broken it

Hearing the angry tone in her voice, Alaric gulped and said sincerely, I’ll 

give you a new one.”

At that, Victoria found it funny. Do you think I can’t afford it?Then, she 

realized that she needed the money after having a child. The cost of

laptop is enough to buy a bunch of diapers and toys for my baby. As she 

thought about it, her words took a turn. Send the money to me on PayPal.” 

When Alaric heard her words, he was surprised by the change in her 

attitude. After all, she was suddenly willing to accept several thousand 

from him when she refused his checks worth millions back then

Thinking about this, he took out his phone and wired her seven grand. He 

would have given her more money if there wasn’t a transaction limit

Once Victoria received the notification on her phone, she took it out and 

read it. When she realized Alaric had given her seven grand, she frowned 

and said, This is way too much money.”

Alaric pursed his lips and quickly found an excuse since he was afraid that 

she wouldn’t accept the money. This is compensation for what I did.” 

Victoria clicked her tongue and accepted the money. Then, she returned 

6,000 to him and said, I only need 1,000 for the laptop. I only take what

need.” 

When Alaric saw that she had given him back the remaining money, he 

lowered his eyes without saying a word. She’s trying to keep things clear 

between us all of a sudden. Does she have to do this? Is it because of… 

him

The next day, Victoria spent a few hundred dollars to repair her laptop

Since she wouldn’t be staying in the company for long, she decided she 

wouldn’t need to buy a new laptop. After all, it would be a waste of money

With that, she had breakfast with Yasmin. While they sat in the breakfast 

shop, Victoria was still talking about work

While Yasmin heard her talk, she drank her soy milk resignedly as she 

looked at Victoria

For some reason, she felt that Victoria had been working hard as of late

Moreover, she had been teaching her remarkable things

As Yasmin thought about it, she swallowed her food and asked, Can I ask 

you something, Miss Victoria?” 

Victoria glanced at her when she heard the question and said, Go ahead.” 

Then, Yasmin looked around carefully and leaned closer to Victoria as she 

spoke. Are you leaving the company?” 

She catches on quite fast, thought Victoria. Thinking about it, she pursed 

her lips and didn’t say anything

On the other hand, Yasmin was nervous when she saw Victoria’s 

expression. II didn’t mean to pry into your business, Miss Victoria. It’s just

that you’ve been working hard lately and teaching me many things. That’s 

why I’ve made such a conclusion.” 

7/9 

However, Victoria reckoned it was fine to tell Yasmin about it. Yes.She 

didn’t deny Yasmin’s words. That is why you have to pay attention to what 

I have taught you since there isn’t much time left.” 

Miss VictoriaYasmin widened her eyes in disbelief

After Victoria completed her work, she closed the laptop and said faintly

Don’t tell the others about this.” 

Yasmin nodded dumbly. At that moment, she felt a huge wave of sadness 

overwhelming her. No wonder Miss Victoria was so angry with me 

yesterday. I was dumbfounded and didn’t know what I had done to make 

her mad. Now that I know, she must have known she was leaving and 

feared that she couldn’t protect me anymore. Thus, she didn’t want me to 

offend the others

Thinking about it, Yasmin bit her lip and looked at the expressionless 

Victoria. Are you going to get a divorce with Mr. Cadogan, Miss Victoria?”

she whispered. After all, why would Miss Victoria leave the company if they 

aren’t getting divorced? Is it because of Claudia

Victoria glanced at her resignedly and said, It looks like you did not 

remember anything I told you yesterday.” 

NoIIt’s justYasmin bit her lips harshly, almost drawing blood. I don’t 

want you to leave.” 

Listening to her words, Victoria fell silent momentarily before saying

There’s nothing to be sad about. This is just how life works.” 

” 

Before she could finish her words, Victoria cut her off. Hurry up and finish 

your food. We still have work to do in the company.”

When Yasmin heard her words, she could only lower her head and stuff 

the food in her mouth, looking depressed. Before she knew about this 

matter, she had been eating happily. However, the delicious food tasted 

bland now

After breakfast, the duo went back to the company. When Victoria entered 

the building and saw the calendar on the big screen, she slowed down

There are still six days left before Grandma’s surgery. Ah, time flies. I hope 

everything will be alright, be it Grandma’s surgery or the divorce between 

Alaric and me
