Chapter 153 What Was He Hoping For?

• On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two were silent. It was chilly inside the car, probably because Alaric was so angry that he forgot to turn on the air conditioning. Since Victoria left in a hurry, she came out with only a coat. At first, she was unbothered by the temperature, but as time passed, she felt her surroundings colder. She then shivered and wrapped her coat tightly around her.
• Meanwhile, the man seemed lost in thought as his lips were constantly pulled into a thin line. From the corner of his eye, he saw her pulling on her coat without saying anything. Hence, he turned on the air conditioning with a cold expression.
• Not long after, the temperature inside the car rose, and Victoria could not help but glance at Alaric. His chiseled side profile looked so delicate that it resembled an artist's detailed sketch. Also, the defined features on his face seemed mesmerizing from the side.
