Chapter 570 Beauty Is in the Eyes of the Beholder 

Since the matter was unresolved, Victoria couldn’t stand Alaric touching her. She swatted his hand away and said, “Don’t touch me.” 

However, not only did Alaric put his hand where it was, he even bent down and placed his hand behind her neck. “Alright. I did get that girl’s number, but I’ve already deleted it,” he whispered. 

“Why did you delete her contact when you’ve already added her?” 

“Well, how was I supposed to get the video if I don’t have her number?” 

“What video?” 

“Why don’t you take a guess?” asked Alaric. 

At his question, Victoria remained silent. After some time, she realized the video he was talking about was 

when the girl had secretly recorded Alaric kissing her. However, she didn’t realize it when she saw them exchanging numbers. He was just asking for the video, yet I… 

As Victoria thought about how she had gotten mad at Alaric, she felt guilty. 

“Why? Did you think I asked for her WhatsApp?” Alaric bopped her on the nose. “That won’t happen when I would sacrifice myself for you. Why would I cause trouble by getting that girl’s number for no reason?” 

If someone else had told Victoria they would sacrifice themselves for her, she would only think of it as a joke. However, after Alaric had risked everything to save her, she knew he was telling the truth. Thus, she couldn’t 

say anything about it and was even touched as she remembered what had happened. 

“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you,” she whispered. 

Initially, Alaric felt that Victoria looked cute when she was jealous. From his perspective, only if she cared about 

him would she be jealous, and it made him happy that she did. However, he didn’t want her to apologize. Hence, he panicked when he heard her apology. “Silly girl. Why are you apologizing when this signifies that you care for me? I’m happy that you’re jealous about this.” 

After hearing his words, Victoria blinked and said, “I misunderstood and scolded you. I should be apologizing for my behavior.” 

“No.” Alaric refused. “You don’t have to apologize for anything you do. If any of us is in the wrong, it would be…” Me. I owe you a lot of things that I can’t make up for, thought Alaric. He wanted Victoria to vent her emotions to him. He wanted her to be mean and unreasonable so that he could comfort her. 

However, after hearing his words, Victoria was curious. “Who would it be?” 

Alaric snapped back to his senses and shook his head. “It’s nothing. Are you still mad at me?” 

Victoria wouldn’t be mad since it was just a misunderstanding. Thus, she said nothing. 

“Since you’re not angry anymore, why don’t we continue looking at these lipsticks?” As he spoke, he passed Victoria the lipstick she had first laid eyes on. 

Victoria was surprised when she saw the lipstick. She never expected him to pick that shade when she only took one look at it. “Do you like this shade?” 

“I told you this shade looks similar to your lips didn’t I? It’d be perfect for daily use.” Alaric chuckled. 

Why would I use it if it’s similar to the color of my lips?” 

At her words, Alaric was startled as he hadn’t thought about that. “You have a point. Why should you get this shade when it’s already similar to the color of your lips? Should I put it back, then?” 

“It’s fine. Since you’ve already taken it, I might as well pick another shade or two.” 

As Victoria went through the lipstick, she asked softly, “So… Did you delete her number after she sent you the video?” 

Alaric nodded without hesitation. “Of course. Why would I keep it? To talk to her and make you mad?” 

She felt guilty when she heard his answer. “Well, I misunderstood the situation, okay? I’m not angry now. Why do you keep bringing it up?” 

“Can’t I even talk about it? After all, it’s rare to see you getting jealous because of me.” 

Victoria didn’t know what to say and sighed. “Wouldn’t it be impolite for you to delete her number all of a sudden?” 

“Say, Snowball, don’t you think you’re getting ahead of yourself? If I didn’t delete her number, you would have been angrier than before when you checked my phone.” As Alaric spoke, he didn’t give her a chance to speak and patted her shoulder as he continued, “Relax. I told her that I was married when we exchanged our numbers. I even told her I would delete her number after she sent me the video since you would be mad.” 

Does that mean they were talking about this when I saw them together? thought Victoria as she blinked and asked, “Where is the video?” 

“Do you want to see it?” Alaric opened his phone and clicked on the video that he had saved. 

Although it was a far shot, Victoria could still see their expressions clearly. Through the video, she could see how lovingly Alaric was looking at her. Usually, she never felt anything when she saw his gaze. She only realized what kind of look Alaric was giving her when she saw the video. 

Victoria did not watch dramas, but she had seen clips of different shows since it was widely available online. Thus, images of those scenes came to mind when she saw the video. 

“By the way, the girl asked me a question after she sent me the video.” 

“What did she say?” 

“She asked if it was okay for her to post the video online.” 

“Did you say yes?” Victoria pursed her lips. 

“What do you think? Should I have said yes or no?” 

At his question, Victoria raised her eyebrow and said, “Suit yourself.” 

After all, it was just a video of them expressing their love. She didn’t mind if the video was posted on the internet. 

After Victoria spoke, she became curious when she heard nothing from Alaric. “What exactly did you tell her?” 

“It looks like someone’s curious.” Alaric looked at her with a smile. He ruffled her hair and said softly, “I allowed 

her to post it online. We are not some kind of superstars after all ”
