Chapter 108 - 108 Whitened hair 3
?Chapter 108: Whitened hair 3 Chapter 108: Whitened hair 3 Victoria did not expect that a man like Arnold would care about New Year’s Eve.
So, he only took her home after midnight.
By the time she arrived home, there was already a thick layer of snow in the residential area. As if by mutual agreement, they did not brush the snowflakes off their hair.
“I’ll go back now,” she said in the dim light.
In the faint light, Arnold’s eyes sparkled. He said, “I have to go on a business trip in three days and won’t be back for a week.”
Victoria pretended not to understand and said, “Uh-huh, I know.”
Seeing that she no longer spoke, he stared at her without moving.
Inside the confined space of the car, Victoria had nowhere to hide. Was she expected to initiate the intimate gesture herself under Arnold’s demanding gaze?
Under his watch, she gave in.
“Then I’ll go to your mansion the day after tomorrow to wish you Happy New Year.”
Hearing this, Arnold unconsciously grinned, revealing his dazzlingly white and even teeth. “The day after tomorrow, I’ll be waiting for you.”
What a man he was.
She got out of the car and entered the gate, leaving behind a lingering silhouette that had just been warm. He savored the memory, as if it were all especially meaningful.
Arnold didn’t start the car and leave until the lights in Victoria’s apartment dimmed completely.
In the snowy night, white tire tracks appeared on the road only to disappear quickly.
After everything had calmed down, a figure emerged from the shadows at the bottom of Victoria’s residential building. He looked lonely and tall, and his handsome features were slightly haggard. His tall figure looked a little thin.
All that had just happened unfolded before his eyes.
Though Alexander couldn’t see their conversation or their faces clearly, he could feel that Victoria was in good spirits, and even happy, from her light steps.
Unconsciously, Alexander’s eyes began to sting as he repeatedly whispered her name in his heart: Victoria…Victoria…
No matter how she rejected him, Alexander couldn’t let her go.
This was an unending ordeal for Alexander.
At the beginning, if only he had not listened to his mother’s advice… then Victoria would be with him and not Arnold, who had taken advantage of her vulnerable state.
One day, Alexander will prove that he has never given up on her.
New Year’s time always goes by quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already the third day of the first lunar month, the day Victoria had agreed to go to Arnold’s mansion. After briefly packing, she left with a large bag on her back.
The snow had melted, and the sun was warm.
Spring was slowly coming, seeping into people’s lives in its own unhurried way.
Victoria drove there herself.
When she arrived at the mansion, Arnold was lounging on the couch, reading a book.
In the warm, spring-like room, he was wearing a light gray, thin cashmere sweater and black casual pants. His fingers turned the pages of the book in a lazy and sensual movement.
Victoria felt something sizzling and unbearable pass by her ear.
At that moment, Arnold stood up.
So that he wouldn’t notice her strange behavior, Victoria pretended to take off her coat and turned her back to him, avoiding direct eye contact.
This brief respite helped her regain her composure, yet Arnold secretly laughed to himself in his heart.
One day, he would make her admit that she, Victoria, had fallen in love with Arnold-
This was a just and natural thing to happen. Even if it wasn’t, he would make their relationship be just that.
