    Thenky man looked shocked for a moment when he saw Victoria.


    She is super pretty, but I don’t know her.


    The older woman by his side also narrowed her eyes when she saw


    Victoria and stared at her carefully.


    “Who is she? Did you hook up with another one behind my back?!”


    The man hurriedly exined, “No, Jean! I don’t know why she’s here talking


    to me. I don’t even know her! H–Hey! Who the hell are you?”


    He was actually a temperamental person. However, as much as he


    wanted to go off on Victoria for suddenly approaching him and talking to


    him, he didn’t have the heart to get angry, considering how shockingly


    gorgeous she was.

    “Does it matter whether you know me or not?” Victoria only coldly stared at


    him. “What matters is what you said. You im to love her, yet you have a


    child with another woman. Do you think you are being fair to any of the


    people involved in this?”


    When the man heard this, his face turned red. “W–What does it have


    anything to do with you?”


    Unlike him, the woman beside him remained silent as her face grew


    somber.


    Victoria’s lips curled into a smirk. “I simply can’t stand your pretentious


    disy of affection.”


    “How dare you? Don’t think I won’t beat you up just because you’re pretty!”


    Perhaps provoked by her words, the man suddenly raised his hand at


    Victoria, wanting to intimidate her.

    Even though he didn’t intend to hit her, a strong hand surprisingly grabbed


    him the moment he raised his palm.


    “Who the f*ck is touching me?!”


    The man looked up and found himself staring into a pair of deep, dark


    eyes hidden behind a pair of sses. Although the eyes were concealed,


    they exuded a profound coldness, sending shivers down his spine.


    With a gentle twist of his hand, the man let out a series of agonized


    screams while sweat rolled down his forehead.


    Bane only released his grip when he saw the man in pain. He then took out


    a clean handkerchief from his pocket to gently wipe his fingers as he


    raised an eyebrow and mentioned, “This is what you get for wanting toy


    a hand on a woman.”


    After wiping his hands, he tossed the handkerchief into the nearby trash


    bin.

    “Let’s go.” His voice was much gentler when he talked to Victoria.


    Victoria had never seen him in this light before. She instinctively nodded


    and hummed in acknowledgment upon hearing his voice.


    The two of them then left the restaurant together. Even from a distance,


    they could still hear the tall and skinny man hurling vulgar insults at them.


    It wasn’t until his voice was drowned out by the bustling city traffic that


    they could finally find some respite.


    And when the cold wind blew, Victoria began toe back to her senses.


    “I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”


    When Bane heard her apology, he let out a leisurely chuckle. He couldn’t


    resist the urge to reach out and rub the back of her head as he watched


    her me herself.

    Unfortunately for him, Victoria instinctively moved aside, avoiding his


    touch before his hand could touch her.

    Bane’s defined fingers lingered in the air for a moment. His gaze darkened,


    but he quickly regained hisposure and smoothly retracted his hand.


    He was back to his rxed and gentle self soon.


    “It’s nothing.”


    Victoria felt somewhat awkward about what Bane tried to do. It seemed


    that he was still subconsciously doing what he was used to when they


    were children.


    –


    But has he ever considered the fact that we are no longer kids?


    Thinking about him casually tossing the handkerchief after wiping his


    hands, she couldn’t help but ask, “Have you developed OCD after being


    abroad for five years?”


    They had only briefly touched each other’s hands through ayer of


    clothes, but Bane immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.


    Not only that, he even threw the handkerchief away.


    He paused for a moment when he heard that before suddenly grasping


    Victoria’s wrist.


    Although she didn’t hate Bane, the physical contact made her feel


    embarrassed, She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Bane


    already released his grip as he shrugged.


    “Do you still think I have OCD?”


    He did that to prove that he doesn’t have OCD, huh? It seems his


    personality haspletely changed after spending five years abroad.


    He promptly added in a calm tone, “I just thought that touching him dirtied


    my hand, considering how he is involved with two women.”

    Victoria’s gaze dimmed slightly at that.


    She thought about ric again.


    Seeing her fall silent, Bane sighed and continued, “I don’t know if I’m telling


    you too much, but everyone in our circle has always known about ric


    and udia’s rtionship. As for your marriage with him…”


    He paused mid–sentence. I’m not sure what exactly is going on between


    you two, but it seems that you are not fond of this kind of rtionship. If it


    is causing you pain, it will be better to end it sooner.”


    Although Victoria had known Bane since childhood, there was always a


    certain distance between them. She didn’t want to share too much about


    her life with him.

    Hence, she simply smiled and nodded at his advice. “Alright, I understand.”


    Bane left the matter at that and didn’t continue talking about it.

    “Do you really not want me to take you back?”


    “Nope. You can go ahead.”


    “Alright. I’ll wait with you here until you get in the car.”


    Victoria could only agree as she felt hesitant to reject his offer.

    When her ride arrived and she was about to get in, Bane suddenly took out


    his phone and opened a QR code.


    Victoria only nced briefly at it and noticed that it was a QR code.


    “Weren’t you going to transfer money to me just now?” he asked.


    Victoria only snapped back to reality when she heard his words.


    She quickly took out her phone to scan the code, only for it to be a QR


    code for adding a contact on WhatsApp.

    Bane looked at her with gentle eyes.

    “Let’s exchange numbers before you transfer the money.”


    Even though she was reluctant, she eventually agreed to it.


    After adding him to her contacts, she got in the car and left shortly after.


    Now that Bane had added her on WhatsApp, he stood by the roadside


    and watched her car disappear into the distance. Instead of leaving


    immediately, he clicked on her WhatsApp Status and carefully browsed


    through it.


    He only remembered something after he was done.


    “Look into Victoria’s recent activities and whereabouts,” he instructed after


    giving his subordinate a call. “Yes. Find out where she has been


    specifically, and send me thepiled information.”

    After hanging up the phone, he gazed in the direction the car had gone


    with dark eyes.

    Victoria’s rtionship with ric was by no means usual.


    But the most abnormal thing was her eating habits.


    He had seen her five times now, and three out of the five times was when


    he saw her enjoying her drinks, seemingly without any loss of appetite.


    However, she seemed to have a fear of greasy foods.


    This behavior reminded him of his young stepmother who hid from and


    avoided him because she feared that he would harm her during her


    pregnancy. Despite that, the woman couldn’t hide her eating habits.


    It wasn’t like Bane wanted to be suspicious of Victoria.


    It was just his past experiences that led him to think that way when he


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    tol 10x the Woman He Had His Eyes On


    saw her like this.


    Furthermore, she was the woman he had his eyes on.


    Since she was the woman he had set his sights on and wouldn’t easily let


    go, he naturally wanted to know everything about her.

    In fact, after experiencing five years of struggles abroad, the current Bane


    desired absolute control over what he wanted. He would never just yield to


    anyone.


    The incident when he lost her when he went abroad five years ago and


    her bing someone else’s wife would never happen again.
