Alexander hesitated before softly saying, "If you like Neil, I'll ask him to meet you."
Victoria paused and smirked.
Her younger brother was soft-hearted. He would consider their familial bond as long as she talked nicely to him.
Therefore, if someone were to stab Alexander in the heart one day, he would never suspect that the person who handed over the knife was Victoria.
Victoria replied with a smile, "Thank you. But I think the rules of the royal family are important. Our marriages have never been ours to decide. If the Harrises don't have the intention, it'll be useless for me to keep up on my end!
"Alright, I'm tired after all this chatting. I don't want to think about it for now."
Alexander nodded and watched his sister leave. The furrow of his brows remained even after Victoria was no longer seen in the night.
She would not give up so easily based on his understanding of her.
Cordelia had already offended her, but not only was Cordelia the heiress of the Irwins, but she was also the apple of Zephyr's eyes…
Alexander's expression dimmed as a wash of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry," he mumbled to himself. "I won't let you get hurt as long as I'm around."
…
Cordelia went to the sanatorium early in the morning to keep Xyla company. Evening crept up on them unknowingly.
"I'm here, and you aren't even needed, actually!" Rowan kept chasing her home. "Look, your mom's doing so much better now and is recovering super well as she takes her medication punctually every day!
"You're already out for the whole day. Won't my grandson be looking for you?"
"It's fine," Cordelia answered with a chuckle. "The nanny and others are at home. We also have breast milk prepared in the fridge. He won't go hungry."
"That doesn't cut it!" Rowan put on a straight face. "Cordelia, no matter what you do now, you must first think you're a mother!"
Cordelia paused and felt her eyes burn.
She was a mother but was also her mother's daughter. She felt guilty for spending too little time with her mother in the past and also not being able to do it now that she had a baby.
She turned to look at her mother in the hospital ward.
