Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 180

Chapter 180 

At this thought, Alaric remembered the previous incident when he had added Nicole 

and Nathan’s mother’s contact information. As he didn’t reply, they lost touch with 

each other. 

They wanted to avoid accepting the money he sent as a reward. Are they afraid I will 

continue to send them money if they continue to live stream? So, they just stop live 

streaming altogether? But what if… I gave them my card number? 

Alaric indeed liked those two little kids. Although they didn’t live stream frequently, 

they always managed to dispel the darkness in his life. 

The two kids were adorable. Over the past year, watching them had become a habit 

for Alaric. 

He hadn’t found anything else that could replace them in relieving his mood. If they 

stop live streaming because of this… 

In an instant, various thoughts on how to resolve the situation crossed his mind. 

However, before he could indulge in his wild thoughts for long, Nathan in the live 

stream corrected Nicole.

“It’s not that we won’t live stream anymore in the future. It’s just that we’re moving, 

so we won’t live stream until we’re settled in our new place.” 

“Yeah.” Nicole nodded along. “We’re moving.” 

After hearing that they were just moving and not discontinuing their live streams, 

Alaric finally breathed a sigh of relief. 

Fortunately, they were just moving. 

He clicked on their homepage to check their IP addresses and found out they were 

abroad. 

He was taken aback when he saw that the location matched his current 

whereabouts. 

He never specifically checked where these two kids lived before. This time, while on 

a business trip abroad, he naturally didn’t realize that they were in the same area as 

him. 

However, they might not be in the same city considering the vast size of the country. 

As a result, numerous people in the live stream were asking where they were 

moving to. However, the two kids were clever and didn’t disclose their exact

Chapter 100 Respecting Your Choice 

address. They only mentioned that they might return to Corynthea. 

Б 

A thought flickered in his mind upon hearing they were returning to Corynthea. Their 

native language was Corynthean, so there was no need to say much about where 

they could be. 

Strangely, Alaric had the fleeting thought that if they returned to Corynthea, he 

could pick them up, but he quickly suppressed the thought as soon as it emerged. 

To them, he was just an audience who sent them rewards online. If he randomly 

offered to pick them up, they would probably consider him a weirdo or think that he 

had mental issues. 

The live stream had already ended when Terrance came to look for him. Alaric had 

just put away his phone when he heard Terrance say, “Mr. Cadogan, it’s time for your 

to take your medication.” 

Alaric pursed his lips and ignored him. 

After a moment of silence, Alaric still remained indifferent, so Terrance reminded 

him again, “Mr. Cadogan, please take your medication.” 

Finally, Alaric glanced at him reluctantly. “Do you have nothing better to do?”

“I’m busy.” Terrance walked up to him directly, opened the drawer, and took out the 

gastric medicine from inside. He then poured a cup of warm water for Alaric. “But 

right now, my top priority is to remind you to take your medication. Please take it.” 

Alaric was dumbfounded. 

He looked at Terrance, who was even more exasperating than Peter. He couldn’t 

figure out why he had agreed to let Peter’s cousin become his assistant in the first 

place. 

“Mr. Cadogan? Mr. Cadogan, the water is warm. With this weather, if you leave it for 

a while, you’ll have to drink cold water. Please take your medicine now. Your health 

requires it.” Terrance’s mannerisms were such that he was about to force–feed the 

medicine to Alaric. 

He wouldn’t have dared to behave this way toward Alaric a few days ago. 

However, Alaric’s mother got furious during the phone call when she heard that his 

stomach ailment flared up when he was attending a conference. 

“Terrance, starting today, I’ll double your salary. Your other job is to make sure Mr. 

Cadogan takes his medication. Don’t worry. If he dares to have any objections 

toward you, tell him it was my decision for you to do this. If he’s unhappy with you

asking him to take his medication, then he is unhappy with me too. Feel free to call 

and complain to me.” 

With Mary backing him up, what did Terrance have to fear? It was like borrowing the 

tiger’s might to scare others. He had to make sure Mr. Cadogan took his medicine. 

The best thing was he only had to remind him to take it and could receive double 

the salary. Wasn’t this great? 

“Mr. Cadogan, if you don’t take the medicine, it will be hard for me to explain when 

Mrs. Cadogan calls.” 

As soon as Terrance finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze and immediately felt a 

chill down his spine.

It was at this moment that he realized that even with Mary’s support, Alaric was still 

her son. If he became too arrogant and complacent, Terrance would undoubtedly be 

the one to suffer in the end. 

However, Terrance was pleasantly surprised by Alaric’s subsequent behavior. It was 

because he took the medicine and even drank the cup of warm water that Terrance 

had poured for him. He then placed the cup heavily on the table, making a loud 

sound.

“Satisfied?” 

6/8 

Terrance quickly nodded and bowed. He then expressed his satisfaction and quickly 

left. 

After Terrance left, Alaric seemed to have thought of something and took out his 

phone. He looked at the screen that showed the finished live stream and pursed his 

thin lips. 

He wondered when the next live stream would be and hoped it would be sooner 

rather than later. 

“Is the live stream over?” Victoria just finished packing some things into a bag when 

she saw the two kids walking in with their phones. 

“Yes, Mommy.” Nathan obediently handed the phone to her. 

“Did you tell everyone that you won’t be live streaming for a while?” 

“Yes, Mommy. We’ve told everyone.” 

“That’s good. We’ll take a few days to pack up. There’s no rush. Once we’re done

Chapter 180 Respecting Your Choice 

packing, we can go back.” 

Suddenly, Nathan asked, “Mommy, did you tell Grandpa?” 

At that, Victoria paused and suddenly realized she didn’t. 

“Oh, right. I’ve been so busy lately that I forgot about that. We’ll visit Grandpa’s 

house in the evening.” 

“Okay.”

Five years ago, when Victoria first arrived abroad, Tony’s company was struggling 

and even had debts. 

Victoria used her meager savings to fill the shortfall, but when Tony found out, he 

scolded her harshly.

However, upon learning about Victoria’s divorce from Alaric and her pregnancy, 

Tony, who initially wouldn’t accept help from others, started to change his mindset. 

He no longer insisted on starting from scratch but began tapping into his network. 

During the prosperous times of the Selwyn Family, many people received care and 

assistance from them, so he visited them one by one to ask them to repay their 

Chapter 180 Respecting Your Choice 

kindness to him. 

Eventually, the company that would have taken several years to establish thrived 

within a year. 

Later, Tony bought their current house. 

As for why Victoria didn’t live with him, it was because, in the third year after the 

– 

house purchase, her father suddenly had a close female friend. 

She was a widow who came abroad to make a living on her own, and she had a son 

who was much younger than Victoria and was studying abroad. 

At first, Victoria felt a bit uncomfortable with the sudden presence of this woman 

around her father. In her impression, her father had always been around her, so she 

was not used to someone sharing his attention. 

However, when she saw her father’s different expression when he was with that 

woman, Victoría decided to respect her father’s choice.
