Chapter 77 A little more time...
VICTORIA’S POV
Is God angry with me for any reason? I don’t know the particular answer, but my situation forced me to
feel this way. I mean, imagine what just happened here!
All the while, Camilla tried to bully me. She even raised her hand to hit me, and just when I took my
stand, Alessandro entered and witnessed the same scenario.
Remember why I decided to get divorced? Yeah, exactly like that.
I stared at his blue eyes, which were confused and somewhat stunned. His gaze once fell on the
woman on the ground and then came to me.
Would he do the same? Would he believe her just like before? Would this happy time of mine with him
end right here?
And to confirm my fear, Camilla cried hysterically.
“Oh, Aless! you are here!” She sniffed. “See what she did to me! She tried to hurt me again because
she thought you didn’t want me! She is jealous!”
“She thinks she can do anything because of her identity!”
I did not bother to focus on the fake woman but only stared at the person whose decision was vital to
me. No, I won’t say anything.
He should trust me even if I didn’t defend myself. My love for him was genuine and came from the
depths of my heart, not just a passing infatuation.
I just want to know what he thinks, as his one decision now will significantly impact future decisions.
It felt like everything stood still until Aless moved from his position. He came inside, and just when I
thought he would go to her, he came to me, and my heart started racing.
His brows furrowed as he checked me up and down. “You okay?”
I gulped, blinked, and nodded slightly. I don’t know what to answer or how to answer. My emotions are This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
the biggest barrier right now.
And to my surprise, he hugged me carefully, pulling me close to his chest, and tightly wrapped his firm
muscled arms around me.
I heard him sighing audibly. “I am glad you are fine. I was scared when I heard from Sage that you left
alone for the bathroom.”
He broke the hug and caressed my cheek. I looked up at him.
There was no trace of anger or doubt, but I sensed his admiration as he gazed softly at me. Not once
did he divert his gaze towards Camilla, who remained on the ground.
D...Did he believe me?
The thought clenched my heart tight.
“So... You followed me to the washroom?” I asked, a little surprised.
He nodded calmly but firmly, agreeing.
“B...But this is ladies’ toilet.” I blinked at his childishness.
“I know. I was standing outside, waiting for you, and suddenly heard infuriating sounds. I was worried
for you, so I came in.” He explained, and he frowned again.
“Sure she didn’t hurt you?” He examined me from head to toe once more and only seemed content
once he confirmed that I was unharmed and there were no marks on my body except for his love bites.
“I am fine,” I replied.
Honestly, I am still in a daze. The sudden change in my life is too pleasing to explain—especially how
Aless is dotting on me before Camilla.
“Alessandro!” I heard Camilla’s shocked and anger-filled tone.
We both turned to her as she was still sitting on the ground in the same position.
“What the fuck are you doing!? Did you lose your mind or what? I am the one who got hurt, and she is
the one who pushed me to the ground, and you are still checking on her? What is wrong with you,
Aless?”
She cried. “Why are you doing this to me? I love you.”
I felt nauseous at her words and screams. My head suddenly spun, and immediately, Alessandro
caught me.
I leaned on his chest and released a sharp breath.
“I don’t think you are okay. This place is too suffocating. Let me take you out.”
And before I could say anything, he picked me up in his arms.
Rather than leaving immediately, he focused on Camilla and said, “I have warned you countless times
not to come near my wife, but you never listened. And now, you’re here to harm her.”
“You are lucky enough that she is a kind woman. If I were in her place, I would have beaten you to
death by now. And I would do it, Camilla. I will destroy you the next time I see you or any of your crazy
family members around my wife and my baby.
You better keep my words in mind.”
He spoke to her in a cold and severe tone, with a blank expression.
He defended me for the first time, and I simply glanced at him. I never knew this time would come in
my life.
Saying those words to her, Alessandro turned around and left the washroom.
Two women gasped and stepped aside when they watched us coming out of the washroom.
“Alessandro!” We heard Camilla’s voice again. “Don’t forget that you still owe me! You promised to be
with me! Don’t forget who saved you three years ago, Aless.
How could you do this to me?”
When I tilted my head to the other side, she was now standing at the entrance, doing her last try to stop
him.
My heart suddenly dimmed at the thought. Yeah, he still does owe her, and my heart almost jumped out
when he stopped.
However, he didn’t turn around but spoke, “No one knows that better than me, Camilla. I am grateful to
you for saving me that night, but I am unwilling to relinquish my move. I remember clearly saying that
you stay away from Victoria, and I will do something big to return your favor.”
“Even though you did not listen, I kept my promise. I recently relinquished a significant project for
White’s Corporation, which is my reward. Henceforth, we have no outstanding debts. So, be cautious
with your moves.”
With that, he walked away, leaving behind the sound of Camilla’s constant crying and shouts, gradually
fading as he moved further away.
Alessandro’s face is still blank, and he looks forward while I stare at her. And just like that night when I
decided to divorce based on his action without regret, I am very much willing to take a decision now.
I, Victoria Edwards, will remove the barrier of three months’ probation and accept him officially. He had
already demonstrated his commitment and words to me to the fullest extent possible. I won’t let him
suffer more or give him a hard time.
After the banquet tonight, I will honestly confess my love to him. I have always loved him, still do, and
will continue to do so. Regardless of what transpired in the past, I am prepared to let it all go for him.
Perhaps I will reflect on how and why my feelings for him developed.
Soon. Just a bit more time Alessandro...
