Adeline couldn’t help but beam at the sight of Victor, his face illuminated with a foolishly joyous grin. It was as if the world around them had faded, leaving just the two of them in this moment of pure bliss. The warmth radiating from him wrapped around her like a comforting blanket, and she realized, with a flutter in her heart, that her affection for him had deepened. This vibrant, grounded version of Victor was the one she cherished most.

Yet, amid her happiness, a flicker of concern nagged at her. She was pregnant, and here he was, spinning her around like a child caught up in a whirlwind of delight.

As he twirled her once more, she instinctively cradled her belly, a wave of dizziness washing over her. “Victor, please, you need to stop! I… I feel a little dizzy,” she managed to gasp, her voice laced with urgency.

In that instant, the realization struck him like a bolt of lightning. His carefree demeanor shifted to one of alarm as he noticed her protective gesture. Panic surged through him, the weight of responsibility crashing down. “Adeline, are you feeling unwell? Is your head still spinning? Do you feel… anything else?” His voice was laced with genuine concern, his brow furrowing with worry.

Adeline offered him a reassuring smile, shaking her head gently. “I’m perfectly fine, Victor. And the baby is doing just great, too.”

He glanced down at her abdomen, still flat and unassuming, his eyes widening in disbelief. Then, as if a dam had burst within him, uncontainable joy flooded his expression.

“I’m going to be a father!” he exclaimed, his voice echoing with sheer elation.

“Adeline, I’m going to be a father!”

She chuckled softly, her heart swelling at his enthusiasm. Oh, my composed Victor, why have you turned into a broken record?

Yet, even in his repetition, she found herself enamored.

As she linked her pinky with his, ready to coax him into calming down, his voice broke through the air again, this time tinged with a nervous excitement. “Adeline, we’re officially dating now… Can I kiss you?”

Her cheeks flared a vibrant crimson at his boldness.

Who asks that? Does he really need to ask for permission?

What am I supposed to say? I can’t just blurt out, ‘Yes, hurry up and kiss me!’

But Victor, undeterred by her silence, didn’t wait for an answer. The moment the words slipped from his lips, with the sun casting a golden hue across the horizon, he turned towards the gentle breeze and, with a tenderness that took her breath away, pressed his lips against hers.

And in that moment, all restraint melted away…

**Chapter 685: A New Beginning**

“Did Victor really marry Marilyn?” Ivan, standing to the side, looked as if he had been struck numb by the news. “Victor is determined to jump into the fire pit!”

James and Lily exchanged glances, their expressions grim. They had repeatedly warned Victor over the phone not to foolishly marry Marilyn, but it seemed their warnings had fallen on deaf ears.

Getting married was a simple affair, but getting divorced would require a month-long cooling-off period. Even if Victor knew the woman from that fateful night was Adeline, it was clear that Marilyn had ensnared him in her web. Untangling himself from her grasp would not be an easy task.

A heavy silence enveloped the living room, the air thick with tension. Grace was about to launch into another tirade about Victor when suddenly, the living room door swung open. Victor strode in, hand in hand with Adeline, a bright smile plastered on his face.

“Victor…”

James hadn’t anticipated Victor’s return alongside Adeline. His keen instincts kicked in. Observing their tightly clasped hands, he quickly deduced that the marriage was nothing but a false alarm. Victor must not have officially registered the marriage after all; otherwise, given his character, he wouldn’t dare to hold Adeline’s hand so openly in front of everyone.

“You awful boy, get out of here!” Henry didn’t even bother looking up. Instead, he snatched the teacup in front of him and hurled it toward the door in a fit of rage.
