Chapter 203: First Quarrel!
".... i will be there in a minute!" there was something in his voice that made her sting.
"Alright." he cut the call. There were no pleasantries, no affectionate words he usually shared with her. His cold voice made her flinch for a second.
When she reached her door, Victor was leaning on the wall with his eyes cold. His hands were folded in front of her chest. He looked exhausted. His face was so pale.
"Were you sick?" She took hasty steps and touched his cold cheeks. When his eyes opened, they were bloodshot and full of dark circles.
He stared at her with a conflicted gaze.
"If you are angry with me, you can scold me. Why are you worrying about yourself?" she sighed looking at him. She had lived a life and was more than a decade older to him to know his thoughts.
His eyes flickered and he closed his eyes again.
"So you do know what happened! That would make it easier." What would be easier? Her gaze shook! Could it be?
"No, I do not know. But your face is speaking. Can we go inside? Emma is not here." Victor nodded without opening his eyes. He followed her inside the room but did not sit on the sofa or took her in his arms like he usually did.
"So, what is worrying you so much?" Nora walked to the table and filled a glass of water for him. When she walked to him, he hesitated but still took the glass.
"My father took me to meet Alex’s father. I did not know they were sharing a business together. There, he asked about Alex. and I was told that he had an accident a few days ago..." he paused there and stared at her face. He wanted to see guilt there. Even panic would have been fine.
But all he saw her was staring back at him with such a calm gaze that baffled him. How could a young girl be so adept at lying? So adapt to hiding things. He was not sure when she was speaking truth to him and when she was lying anymore.
