It was apparent to Victoria, who was glowering at her. Unbothered, she
lifted the glass and took a sip. The juice tasted just like the one she had
finished.
Given their proximity, Bane could see her red lips coming into contact with
the glass. The color of her lips was in stark contrast to the transparent
glass. He gulped at the sight of it. He adjusted his glasses and forced
himself to look away before asking gently, “Don’t you mind?”
Hearing that, Victoria was startled.
With a smile, Bane explained in a small voice, “I mean, don’t you mind what
they say about you?”
Both of his questions were not so different. Since Victoria was no longer
concerned, she didn’t mind what others thought of her. At the thought of
this, she curled her lips. “It’s the truth anyway.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Their marriage was a sham, so it was pointless for her to mind others.
talking about it.
Bane’s gaze behind his glasses darkened when he heard that. Instead of
feeling pleased, he wasn’t sure what to say when he was faced with the
woman’s attitude. A moment later, he sighed and ruffled Victoria’s hair.
“You’re so mature now.”
Victoria stiffened and subconsciously looked at him. What’s wrong with
him? Many years have passed, but he still loves ruffling my hair. It was fine.
since I was a young kid back then, but I’m an adult now.
While she was deep in thought, Alaric rose from the couch and glared at
Bane. He demanded, “Come with me.”
Bane put on a smile. “Go on and finish your drink. Perhaps Al has
something to tell me.”
“Alright.” Victoria nodded.

After they were gone, the people in the private room exchanged glances.
In the end, they couldn’t contain their urge to glean information from
Victoria.
“Victoria, many years have passed, but Bane still treats you very well.”
Is that so? Victoria remembered that Bane always loved driving her crazy
in the past. She almost broke into tears on several occasions. Therefore,
she only pursed her lips in response.
Finally, someone asked, “Is your marriage with Alaric a sham?”
They were deathly curious. After all, they were shocked when they learned
about the marriage back then. Since Victoria and Alaric had been friends
since they were kids, it was inconceivable that they eventually got
married.
Then, they heard a rumor that their marriage was a sham. Griselda was
critically ill at that time, and she was fond of Victoria. To help make

Chapter 88 Feel It With Your Heart
Griselda’s last wish come true, Alaric got into a sham marriage with
Victoria.
Only then did they realize what had happened. They were aware that
Alaric had been in love with Claudia for a long time, so it was unlikely that
he would marry Victoria. Turned out it was only a sham marriage.
However, after today’s incident, they felt that the rumor might not be true,
after all. They wouldn’t dare to ask Alaric about it, so they could only go to
Victoria.
Before Victoria could respond, Norwood sneered. “Where did you guys
hear the rumor from? Why are you spreading the rumor when you haven’t
even verified it? You even have the nerve to ask Victoria about it. Have you
ever considered her feelings?”
Hearing that, Victoria looked at Norwood in shock. She didn’t expect him to
stand up for her. He was also the one who helped her clear up
the
misunderstanding in front of Alaric that night.

Isn’t he Alaric’s friend? He should supposedly side with the woman Alaric
loves. Why would he stand up for me?
After hearing Norwood’s words, they felt embarrassed and stopped)
asking.
Norwood lifted his glass with a smile and sat down beside Victoria before
clinking glasses with her. “I wonder who started the rumor. I’m sure Al will
look into the matter.”
He was trying to tell the woman that Alaric wasn’t the one who exposed
the nature of their relationship.
Victoria clinked glasses with him and nodded politely. “Thanks for getting
me out of trouble.”
Norwood smiled. “You don’t have to thank me. Alaric and I are best friends,
and you’re his wife. I’m supposed to help you.”

Hearing that, Victoria fell into her thoughts. Perhaps his intention is not to
stand up for me. He just isn’t aware that our marriage is a sham.
Just then, Norwood continued, “Perhaps you should give him more time.”
A surprised Victoria turned to look at him.
Norwood said in a hushed voice, “Claudia saved his life before he even
knew what was love. Therefore, he might have mixed up gratitude with
love.”
At that instant, Victoria finally realized what he was trying to say. “Is that
SO?”
She responded with a smile and didn’t seem bothered.
Seeing her expression, Norwood pressed his lips into a line for a moment
before letting out a sigh. “You grew up with Alaric, so you’re aware that he
almost drowned in the past. The incident was traumatizing for him.

Therefore, he’s grateful that Claudia saved his life.”
“I know.” Victoria dipped her head.

She understood that the incident had a profound impact on Alaric, which
was why she regretted not being there to save him at that time. She
couldn’t remember where she was that day or why she wasn’t at the
scene. She even fell into the water and came down with a fever. All the
same, she couldn’t recall what happened that day. If she had been the
one who saved Alaric, everything would’ve been different.
Sometimes, she thought that if love could be easily mixed up with other
feelings, could it still be considered love at all?
“That’s why I said you should give him more time.”
“What for?” Victoria was puzzled.
“So that he’ll realize whom he loves,” Norwood explained.

Victoria couldn’t help but gape at him. “Why are you saying this? Have you
ever thought that he might already know who he loves? He might’ve
mixed up his feelings after Claudia saved his life back then. Many years
have passed. Do you think he still doesn’t know who he loves? Or are you
the one who doesn’t understand him at all?”
Victoria became increasingly agitated. When she finished speaking, she
finally came to her senses. Then, she tucked her hair behind her ears and
said, “I’m sorry. Please don’t take it personally. It’s just my two cents.”
Norwood was a mild-tempered person, so he only responded with a
smile. “It’s fine. I don’t mind it. I’d be glad if I could help you guys.”
Victoria pursed her lips. “I don’t think you can help us in any way. Although I
might’ve said too much, it’s the truth.”
Hearing that, Norwood let out a long sigh. “It’s fine even if I can’t help you,
but I’ll still give it a shot. Perhaps you haven’t even seen through your own
heart.”

“Me?” A perplexed Victoria had no idea what he was trying to say.
“Yes.” Norwood nodded. His voice was as warm as spring water. “Perhaps
you should feel it with your heart calmly and seriously.”
