Chapter 152 Don’t You Want A Divorce? Fine
Chapter 152
The ambiguous atmosphere in the air instantly disappeared, and Alaric
took a while before averting his gaze to Victoria. Seconds later, he thought
of something, and his eyes filled with desire. He grabbed her chin again.
and pressed his thumb on her swollen, red lips. “Our marriage might be
fake, but what about our sex life?”
She could not believe what she was hearing. “What?”
“You heard me.” He moved his fingers down her beautiful neckline and
finally stopped on her collarbone. He felt his breath hitch as he said
something vulgar in his low voice, “You weren’t acting like this when you
begged me to s**w you.”
Victoria’s irises contracted slightly before she delivered another slap,
striking Alaric’s face to the side again. He sneered. “You’ve hit me twice. Do
you think I won’t hit you, Snowball?”
Despite that, she slapped him again.
Slap!

His face instantly fell, but when he looked at the angry Victoria with
reddened eyes under him, he could not do anything about her. Seeming to
have thought of something, he tugged his lips. “It’s fine. The harder you hit
me now, the more I’ll make you pay.”
She knew he was speaking inappropriately again and wanted to give him
another slap, but it was a pity that he had grabbed her hand this time. “You
really are something, aren’t you? You didn’t show mercy when hitting me,
yet you protected Bane after I touched him. Hm?”
After her futile struggles, Victoria realized she could not do anything if the
furious Alaric was determined to restrain her. So, she gave up and looked at
him, asking, “Do you know I hate it when you’re acting this way?”
The stunned man gave a sarcastic smile. “Then, who do you like? Bane
Morison?”
“Yes!”
The certainty in her voice shut him up, and the sarcastic smile on his face
disappeared. A few seconds later, he questioned with a gloomy expression,
“Come again?”

Even Victoria went quiet for a long while, not expecting that she would
admit it just like that. She and Alaric were about to get divorced anyway, so
rather than prolonging their relationship, it would be better to rip off the
Band-Aid.
While thinking of that, she closed her eyes and admitted. “I like him and
want to be with him. So… let’s get divorced.”
She felt her chin being grabbed by a strong force. Then, she heard Alaric’s
cold voice. “Say it while looking at me.”
Following his words, she opened her eyes and peered into his dark eyes,
enunciating, “I like him and want to-”
“Enough!”
Before she could finish her words, Alaric seemed intensely provoked and
released her chin before springing to his feet. He stood beside the bed, and
the emotions and desire in his eyes earlier had vanished, leaving only
endless coldness and darkness.
Such a gaze made Victoria feel chills run down her spine. Finally, she heard
him say,
“You want a divorce, don’t you? Fine.”

At that moment, she could feel her heart breaking. She lay in bed unmoving
and did not look at him. Instead, she watched him leave out of the corner of
her eye.
The door slammed closed.
The previously intense atmosphere had suddenly quieted down, but there
seemed to be remnants of the man’s cold breath in the air.
She closed her eyes and told herself, That’s it. It’s better this way.
Half an hour later, Bane called Victoria, sounding apologetic. “I’m sorry. I
meant to help but seemed to have ruined things. Are you all right?”
He got beaten up and might fall out with his best friend because of this, but
he was now apologizing to her, doubling on her guilt. “You didn’t ruin
anything.” She assured him, “I’m fine, and I should be the one apologizing
because I caused your injuries.”
Hearing that, he chuckled softly. “That’s nothing. I can take a few punches.”
“But you and him—”

“Don’t worry. We were best friends, so he might just ignore me for some
time, and even if he does, I’ll just apologize to him.”
She felt more relaxed after hearing that. “That’s good.”
“So, is everything going smoothly?”
She subconsciously nodded but realized it was a phone call, so she
verbalized it. “Yes. It’s settled for now.”
“How did it go?”
Frustration overcame Victoria because she had reached her limit by taking
the initiative to apologize to Bane first. She did not feel like doing an
interview, and if he had not helped her before, she would have hung up
long ago. However, she had to maintain her cool and requested, “Bane, I
want some time alone. Is that okay?”
The caller on the other end stayed quiet for a long time before saying,
“Sure. Take some time to cool down. You can call me if you need anything.”
After the phone call ended, she threw the phone aside and curled up in bed.
Her stomach churned uncomfortably because of her emotion, so she gently

rubbed her belly while silently comforting the fetus inside. Baby, be good.
We’ll leave this place once I get divorced. After that… We’ll live our lives
together.

She fell asleep while lying on the bed. After some time, she woke up
groggily and found herself in the same position, yet for some reason, a
large wet patch was on her pillow. Staring at it, she fell into a daze and
gently touched the corner of her eye.
It’s wet. Had I been crying in my sleep?
She sat there for a long while before removing the wet pillowcase and
exchanging it with a new one from the cupboard. Once that was done, she
sat up in bed and continued to daze off. It would have been better if she had
not slept because now that she had woken up, a massive void took over her
heart. The feeling was uncomfortable, but she could do nothing about it.
While lost in thought, she heard footsteps from outside, causing her to sit
up nervously and wipe the corner of her moist eyes. When she got off the
bed, she saw Alaric entering the room with an icy expression.
He looked at her with frosty eyes and a cold expression. Even the way he
spoke was void of any emotion. “Are you free?”

Victoria was surprised and then nodded. “Yes.”

After a moment’s silence, he asked, “Are the identity documents with you?”
She continued to nod.
“How about the divorce papers?”

She froze before answering, “They’re with me too.”

As if he were trying to confirm something, Alaric finally put on a sarcastic
smile after hearing her response. “Well, it seems like you’ve got everything
ready to go.” With that, he turned around and left, leaving a stunned
Victoria in the room.
What does that mean?
“Don’t you want to get a divorce? Come on. We’re going to the Civil Affairs
Bureau.”
