Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 185

Chapter 185 

Nicole licked her lips. The gluttonous side of her was still unsatisfied. 

Since her mother denied her request, she had to distract herself with thoughts 

about the snacks she would get when they boarded the plane. 

Nevertheless, she stared pitifully at the large posters pasted by the door to the cafe. 

Ethan’s heart melted from how adorable Nicole was. He had the urge to give her 

anything she wanted. 

“Children enjoy these things a lot, Miss Selwyn. Why don’t I get something for the 

two of them? 

Victoria smiled faintly. “You’re here to wait on us, right, Mr. Hudson? Why don’t we 

get you something in return for all your hard work?” 

“Well… it’s fine. I don’t need anything, Ethan said after a pause. 

“By the way, Mr. Hudson, you don’t have to treat me like I’m still a manager at the 

company. I’m not anymore.” 

Ethan thought about it and nodded. “Understood, Miss Selwyn.”

The group continued making their way forward.

Just then, Victoria felt her phone beep with a notification, so she took it out and saw 

a text from Bane. 

‘How are things? Have you gotten past the security checkpoint?‘ 

Victoria smiled. ‘We have.‘ 

A few seconds later, Bane called. “How’s everything? Is Ethan taking good care of 

you?” 

She was reminded of what Ethan said and chuckled. “Did you tell him to wait on us 

hand and foot and that he won’t be getting a year–end bonus if he didn’t?” 

Ethan’s expression stiffened. He wanted to stop Victoria, but he was too slow. 

Victoria had finished her sentence and it was too late. 

I’m done for! Ethan had only said those things so that Victoria would let him handle 

the luggage. He didn’t think she would tell Bane about it. 

His boss was a lunatic.

What if he thinks I’m trying to badmouth him in front of her? It won’t just be my 

bonus that gets cut. He would cut my pay too. 

However, Bane readily admitted to it with a laugh. “Since I can’t be with you, I had to 

find someone else to take care of you. What of it? Does Ethan think that being told. 

to attend to your needs means he has to wait on you hand and foot?” 

Victoria glanced at Ethan and chuckled when she saw the morose look on his face. 

“Of course not. I’m happy that you asked him to help me, but seeing him saddled 

with all the luggage does make it seem like he’s waiting on me hand and foot. Are 

you unhappy that I’m saying this about your assistant?” 

Ethan, who had been hanging his head low out of despondence as he thought that 

his year–end bonus had flown out the window by now, looked up at once. He stared 

at Victoria with sparkling eyes. 

He saw the smile on Victoria’s face and instantly knew that she was helping him. 

Bane chuckled. “I’m the one who sent him over to help you. You can say anything 

you want about him.” 

“Thanks. You’ve seen to my every need despite not being here yourself.”

“It’s what I should do. After all, I have to trouble you to get something at the auction. 

in Jasea for me. Sorry about that. I just couldn’t get away.” 

“It’s fine.” 

Being able to help Bane with something made Victoria feel less indebted to him. 

She felt a lot better about it too. 

“If you need anything, just have Ethan do it. Don’t feel like you owe me. I still have 

some matters to attend to here, but I’ll meet up with you as soon as I’m done.” 

“Alright.” 

The call ended. Just as Victoria put her phone away, Ethan began thanking her 

profusely. 

“Thank you so much, Miss Selwyn. If you hadn’t helped me, I’m afraid…” 

“It’s nothing. You…”

Victoria’s smile slowly disappeared. She felt a tinge of pain in her abdomen, followed 

by something trickling out of her, just as her expression stiffened. 

“Miss Selwyn?” Having worked for Bane for quite some time, Ethan had learned to

be observant and pay attention to other people’s expressions. He saw the troubled. 

look on Victoria’s face and asked, “What’s the matter? 

Ethan was a man, so Victoria didn’t feel comfortable sharing about her situation. 

Nevertheless, she needed to head over to the restroom to deal with this at once. 

Thus, she pursed her lips and said, “Please excuse me for a moment. I need to use 

the restroom.” 

“You two stay close to Mr. Hudson, okay? I’ll come over when I’m done.” 

Once Victoria left, Ethan looked at the two children. 

“So… you two can come with me first, I guess.” 

Nathan looked concerned. He thought of something and asked Ethan, “What’s the 

date today, Mr. Hudson?” 

Ethan checked his watch and reported the date. “Is there something special about 

today?” 

After hearing the date, Nathan figured out what was happening. He counted with. 

his fingers to be sure before answering, “I think Mommy is getting her period today.”

Ethan’s expression stiffened. He scratched his head awkwardly. She’s having her 

period? 

Just then, his phone buzzed with a text. 

He checked his phone and saw the text from Bane.

‘I forgot to tell you that she’ll be getting her period today. Make sure she stays warm. 

Don’t let her touch anything cold.’ 

Ethan froze. Well, okay. Women do have things to look out for during their 

menstruation period. 

He looked around and spotted the tastefully furnished cafe up ahead, so he 

suggested to the children, “Why don’t we get a hot drink for your mommy?” 

He had a girlfriend before. At the very least, he knew that women should drink warm 

water to help with their menstruation cramps. 

Since they were at the airport, it felt a little weird to order just a cup of hot water for 

Victoria, so he decided to get a hot drink instead. 

Nicole’s eyes 

lit up 

with eagerness. “Can you get one for me too, Mr. Hudson?”

Ethan didn’t know what to say. 

A few minutes later, Ethan and the two children stepped into the cafe. 

It was a large, brightly–lit cafe with an exquisite interior. As the space was separated 

into several sections, everyone was able to have some privacy without being 

disturbed by others. 

Upon entering the cafe, Ethan saw that many of the patrons were busy working on 

their laptops. They were so engrossed in their work that they spared no attention to 

others. 

He had far too many suitcases to lug around, so the two children walked by 

themselves beside him. 

The sound of the suitcases rolling on the ground made Terrance look up. His eyes 

widened with surprise when he saw a man hauling multiple suitcases by himself. 

That’s remarkable. How can he manage to handle that many suitcases with him at 

once? 

“Pay attention.” The man opposite Terrance gave him a warning as soon as he 

glanced away.

“Yes, Mr. Cadogan. I’ll sort out the details right away.”

However, despite Terrance’s response, he was actually grumbling on the inside. He 

didn’t think he would have to be dealing with work just before the flight.. 

“Hi there. What would you like to order?” 

The server came forward to take Ethan’s order and was surprised to see two 

adorable children behind him. The children wore cute clothing that matched their 

large eyes and chubby cheeks. However, that did not take away from their attractive 

features which made it clear that they had to have attractive parents too. 

“Give me…” Ethan looked back to find two tiny faces peering back at him. “Three 

cups of hot cocoa.”
