Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 240

Chapter 240

Victoria was rendered speechless because she was not m***y prepared to meet

him. After all, Henry had kept bugging her to get investments from Cadogan Group,

which was not wrong because he was merely thinking from the company’s

perspective. The company indeed benefited from having him as the manager.

Therefore, she did not act out and nodded before leaving. Throughout the process,

Bane’s presence went unnoticed by her until she was about to hail a cab

downstairs. He caught up to her and offered, “I’ll come with you.”

Hearing his voice, she halted abruptly and finally realized something after she saw

him with his car keys. “I’m sorry. I was in such a hurry to deal with this matter that I

accidentally…”

She wanted to say it was not her intention to ignore him, but would that not be more.

upsetting?

“Are you going to look for him? I’ll come with you.”

She instinctively stopped him. “I can manage on my own.”

Once she said those words, Bane stopped and quietly looked at her. Feeling his

silent gaze on her, Victoria felt immensely guilty and lightly bit her lip. “I’m sorry. I’ll

explain everything to you once I return, okay?”

He had a feeling that things might change entirely once she returned from this trip.

Still, he could not bear to make her feel conflicted. “Victoria,” he called her after a

while and sighed. “Go ahead. I’ll wait for you.”

I can only hope the result will not be disappointing.

With the address from Terrance, Victoria soon found the hotel Alaric was staying at

number, wondering if he was inside. When she thought about it, there was a chance

he might be out because his assistant told her he lived here but did not guarantee

his availability. Gosh. I’d been too ahead of myself.

Just as she pressed the doorbell for the fourth time and was about to give up and

leave, the door suddenly opened. Alaric’s face was cold, but when he saw the

woman of his dream standing outside, it was soon replaced with shock. A while

later, he asked, “Why are you here?”

on the day before yesterday that no one would risk offending him by investing in her

company, yet he decided to invest in hers and claimed he did not know why

She chuckled softly and demanded, “If you’re clueless, stay that way and save your

acts.”

Hearing that, Alaric frowned. “What if I don’t? I am investing in your company. What

can you do about that?”

She looked at his pale face and slightly sweaty forehead, enunciating, it doesn’t

matter, and I don’t care what you do because you wouldn’t lose anything anyway!

With that, she was prepared to leave.

The man did not do anything but watch her leave from behind with tightly pursed

lips, seeming to have no intention of talking to her. After a couple of steps, she

turned around at him upon remembering something.

“How’s Grandma?”

The originally downcast eyes glinted with a hint of mockery as he chuckled. ‘Oh?

You want to visit her?”

“Yes.” She nodded. “I want to see her. She regretted her words yesterday because

However, he scoffed. “That won’t be nuram/’

Frowning, Victoria scanned his face, asking, “Why?”

“No reason. Are you done?” He coldly asked her to leave. “Mense leave if yoie ws

saying whatever you’re here to say”

Yet, he did not expect her to come closer to him instead of leaving. Not if you don’t

tell me why I can’t see Grandma. Did you tell her what I said?”

His breathing became more labored, “Yes, I told her every word you said.”

Once she heard that, her frown deepened. At first, she wanted him to tell Griselde

she did not mean what she said because they were words of anger. After all, those

words would not only disappoint Griselda but also hurt her feelings and harm her

health.

It was unlike him not to know that, but he said he told Griselda everything, which did

not seem right.

She narrowed her eyes while carefully observing him. “Alaric, are you hiding

something from me?”

His footsteps halted abruptly before he slammed his palm onto the doorframe,

causing a loud bang. He looked furious while reprimanding. “You said it yourself.

She’s no longer family once we divorced.”

Victoria was speechless.

“So, are you finished?” Alaric gave her a hostile glance as though he did not want to

see her again.

That look upset her so much that she retorted, “Fine. I’m fine with not visiting her

anyway.” She turned around to leave again.

At that thought, she immediately stopped walking and returned to Alaric’s room.

Since I just left, the door must still be opened. If…

She did not need to think further because she already saw the man had fainted by

the doorway. It seemed like he could not even close the door before collapsing.
