Chapter 172: If I treat you like this too, 3 Chapter 172: If I treat you like this too, 3 “What a case of destined love with no fruition!” Alexander Mitchell couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

After laughing, he became a bit more composed and continued with his own thoughts, “Since fate brought us together in Green City, doesn’t that mean our connection extends beyond what we know?”

Victoria Garcia’s biggest worry was that he would trap himself in a never-ending cycle.

“Alexander, you should face the reality. All along, you have been relentlessly pursuing me, but I have never given my consent, and we never officially dated.”

Victoria paused, revealing her true feelings to him, “I admit, I did feel something for you, and even considered accepting your pursuit. But God let such an incident happen to my mother, turning all the good into nothingness. I don’t hate you, nor do I resent you.”

At this point, Victoria took a step forward on her own initiative, and spoke to him with a calm and sincere voice, “That incident made me realize my true feelings—that I don’t love you, it was merely a fleeting affection. Now, I have turned that affection into irreversible friendship, so I hope you can understand completely and not dwell on the past.”

Although Alexander understood all this, he was unwilling to give up just like that.

“What about Arnold Johnson? Do you love him?” Alexander mentioned these two words with gritted teeth, as this man had never appeared in their world before and now suddenly appeared, taking away what he cherished the most.

“It’s not a matter of love between Arnold and me. I’m already his,” Victoria said, trying to make him give up completely.

Upon hearing this, Alexander’s heart shattered into pieces, but he stubbornly replied, “As long as you’re willing to come back to me, I won’t care about anything else.”

Victoria looked straight at Alexander, his haggard face and the deeply affectionate pain in his eyes. She couldn’t give him a response, and could only ask him to let go, “Alexander, thank you for your kindness to me.”

“Then come back to me!” he anxiously held her hand.

This time, she didn’t avoid it and let him hold her hand.

“Alexander, one day, I will fall in love with Arnold, and you will fall in love with another woman.” Victoria spoke slowly, “Our relationship, only goes so far.”

“Your factory is in desperate need of funds. Let’s make a bet. You return to me as you did when you bet yourself to Arnold.” Alexander persisted, never giving up, “I only need three months, and after, if Arnold doesn’t mind the relationship we’ve had, I’ll respect your choice.”

Victoria pulled her hand away forcefully, looking at him with the coldest of eyes, “Do you think I’m a commodity? Having an equitable exchange with him and then having another one with you?”

Her gaze and action scared Alexander, he nervously explained, “Victoria, I didn’t mean that. I just want to prove to you that I love you more than him. I wouldn’t mind anything about you. If he minded, it would mean he doesn’t love you enough. How can I trust him with you if he doesn’t love you enough?”

Upon saying this, he even patted his chest as a guarantee, “Don’t worry, I won’t touch you during these three months.”

Sometimes, she felt Alexander was smart, but at other times, he was so foolish that she was left speechless.

Victoria countered, “Do you think Arnold would give you that opportunity?”
