Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 390

The trip had been smooth in the beginning but soon became steep and winding toward

the end. Victoria could stand it at first, but after ten minutes she became dizzy. Nathan

leaned into her embrace, clearly feeling ill as well.

Even though she didn’t feel well, she cared for Nathan and helped rub his temple while

asking gently, “Do you feel better?”

However, Nathan felt too sick to reply, so she told the driver, “Can you slow down a

little? My son feels sick.”

Since they were in a rush, the car didn’t slow down that much even though the road

was mountainous. They had wasted too much time after all, and Ethan was worried

about their plans after that. However, he then turned to see the boy curled up in

Victoria’s embrace while she looked pale as well though she tried to control it. Hel

couldn’t bear it and so told the driver to slow down.

When the car had slowed and become more stable, the situation improved slightly. She

suppressed her feeling of nausea as she held Nathan in her arms, but then she began

to

worry about Nicole who was away from them. The girl had to be feeling sick during

the ride, plus she had cried as she left. Victoria was worried sick about her daughter. Is

she still scared? Is she still crying fiercely? Would she start the hiccups?

The more Victoria thought about it, the more vexed she felt. She eventually closed her

eyes, wishing only for the trip to end quickly.

It was some time before the car eventually stopped in front of a bungalow located in

the mountains. The car door had just opened when she saw another car parked at the

main entrance of the bungalow which was wide open. Countless bodyguards stood on

both sides of the entrance, making the place look well–secured. However, that meant

that it would be extremely difficult for her to escape.

“Miss Selwyn, we’re here.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Victoria held Nathan as she alighted from the car and asked immediately, “Where’s

Nicole?”

Ethan respectfully replied, “Miss Nicole is with Mr. Morison and so wouldn’t be

ill–treated. She may be inside the bungalow already so let’s join them, Miss Selwyn.”

She really wanted to turn him down, but Nicole was inside the bungalow and Victoria

wondered how badly she might have suffered during the journey. So, she had no choice

but to follow him into the bungalow. As she walked, she observed the environment

around her. Tall gates surrounded the bungalow and the only exit was guarded by

countless bodyguards.

Ethan’s voice suddenly came from the front. “Miss Selwyn, if you truly don’t fancy Mr.

Morison, my suggestion is to make him become tired of you before leaving. That’s the

best approach.”

There was no one else around and he was leading the way.

Victoria became puzzled by that. “Become tired of me? And how do I do that?”

Ethan’s footsteps paused before slowing down. “I’ve been at his side for many years.

He’s the type to desire something the more he’s denied it. The reason he’s locked you in

here is because he has never won you over before.”

She was speechless. What kind of dumb statement was that? Did she have to let Bane.

win her over just so she could safely leave him?

Victoria replied sternly at once, “Your suggestion is useless. I won’t accept it.”

He could guess what she had thought by her instant cold expression. “Miss Selwyn,

don’t misunderstand. When I said win you over, I didn’t mean whatever you were

thinking.”

She looked down instinctively at Nathan. It felt weird to be discussing something like

this in front of a child.

“What I meant was to make him feel as if he has won you over, which means making

him happy.”

“What do you mean?” Ethan’s words puzzled her even more.

“Do you know what Mr. Morison’s family is like, Miss Selwyn?”

Victoria frowned since she had heard others talk about it. They all said how Bane’s

father had been a jerk who ignored his children and wife to indulge in alcohol and

parties before ending up being embroiled in a romantic scandal with a young girl. Many

criticized the man, but some defended him as well.

“Rich men are all the same. They already have fame and status and are just chasing

something new outside of their family. They will go home when they are tired of it and

won’t cause anything serious.”

Bane had described all men as completely useless, but Victoria knew that not all men

were like Bane’s father. For example, her father had always remained single after her

mother’s death. Victoria wasn’t the only reason he hadn’t remarried; besides that, he still

loved her mother deeply. If he could maintain his dignity and morals when his beloved.

was no longer with him, why couldn’t other men do the same? They merely didn’t want

to do so.

She had wanted to comfort Bane, but he kept talking about Alaric and Claudia

whenever they saw each other. She didn’t want to hear about them, so she eventually

stopped consoling Bane. Sometime after that, she heard that his parents wanted to get

divorced since his father’s mistress had visited them while heavily pregnant in a bid to

become his actual wife. It had caused a massive uproar back then.

The citizens of Gandra kept talking about the family, and Bane who had still been in

school became the most obvious target for gossip. She had heard people discuss him

in private during that period too.

“Wow, Bane looks so handsome ”

“Tch. He’s still a b’stard no matter how handsome he is. What’s the use?”

“B*stard? Whom did he betray? I’ve never heard of him dating anyone. Did you hear it

from a secret source?”

“It’s not him but his father. His father had a mistress who was rumored to be heavily

pregnant, and she had gone to his home to cause a commotion.”

“Damn. It must’ve been horrible being his father’s wife.”

“Yep The mistress was insisting on being his legal wife. His actual wife is older and not

as pretty as the girl nor as good at sweet–talking him. She might be replaced very soon.”

“So, what does this have to do with Bane?”

“Are you dumb? The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Since his father is such a

b*stard, he will behave the same way in the future. It’s best to stay away from men like

him. The most important thing here is that if the mistress gives birth to a son, his family

will be in a worse situation.”

“That makes sense when you put it like that. I never thought that Bane might turn into

someone like his father.”

Victoria frowned after hearing that. Even though they had merely been discussing the

topic, their words had enraged her and she couldn’t help dashing forward.

“Bane and his father are two separate entities. How can you compare them? They’re

both individuals with different personalities and besides, who could see into the future?

Jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about others isn’t nice.”

The girls had been shocked after seeing someone jump to Bane’s defense and

wondered who it was, but their expressions turned mocking after seeing Victoria.

“Aren’t you the Selwyn girl who’s always with Bane? Your mother has run away yet you
