Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 265

Chapter 265

The hotel staff was perplexed to see Alaric and Terrance and questioned warily, “You

are?”

Terrance pointed at himself and answered, “I was the one who called earlier and

ordered in my friend’s stead. She’s in the opposite room.”

The hotel staff immediately made a face of understanding and nodded.

“Oh, okay. But it seems your friend isn’t around. No one came to the door even after I

pressed the bell a few times.”

The hotel staff asked carefully, “Why don’t you make a call to check if she’s still inside?”

So, Alaric looked at Terrance. “Call her.”

Terrance whipped out his phone to call Victoria. At first, he didn’t think that she would

answer, but she did very quickly.

“Mr. Levane.” Victoria’s voice didn’t sound like she was woken up from slumber. So,

shouldn’t be sleeping at that moment. But why didn’t she open the door when the

doorbell rang?

she

“Miss Selwyn, are you awake?”

Victoria sat in the bustling lounge with the phone to her ear. She pursed her lips before

sighing.

“Miss Selwyn, if you are, please open the door. Mr. Cadogan and I ordered food for you.”

Terrance’s voice was filled with apprehension and a clear desire to please.

Up to this point, Victoria couldn’t help but sigh again as she murmured, “It’s alright, Mr.

Levane. I’m sorry for the inconvenience but I’ve already left.”

“Huh?” Terrance looked a little lost and confused at her words. “Miss Selwyn, you-”

But before he could finish his sentence, Alaric took his phone.

Just as Alaric put the phone to his ear, he heard Victoria’s voice, “I’m at the airport going

back to Jasea. Please inform Alaric about this.”

His face instantly turned dark at that. “What did you say?”

The sudden change of tone stunned Victoria before she realized why Terrance’s voice

was suddenly cut off. It was because Alaric had taken his phone yet again.

She calmed down and answered lightly, “Didn’t you hear me? Then, that’s great. It

seems that Terrance wouldn’t need to tell you instead.”

Alaric’s eyes were as cold as ice. “What is the meaning of this, Victoria?”

“Nothing. Did you forget this was a deal? I told you yesterday in the hospital, this was

only a contract. Now that I’ve seen Grandma, I’ll be returning to Jasea since I do have

business to attend to there.”

Alaric sneered, “Did you say you’re not feeling well and wanted to rest?”

“Yes. I rested for 20 minutes. Is there a problem?”

After she hung up the phone, she bought the earliest plane ticket to Jasea and packed

her stuff after resting for 20 minutes.

Alaric was speechless at her retort. It wasn’t that he couldn’t, but he was infuriated by

her attitude and was at a loss for what to say.

He gritted his teeth and hissed through clenched teeth, “Wait for me there.”

However, Victoria smirked and drawled nonchalantly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Cadogan. I can’t.

I’ve already passed through security and the plane’s about to take off. You won’t make it

even if you hurry over now.”

Alaric didn’t speak, but his hands gradually tightened on the phone as his temper flared.

“Victoria, do you think that I can’t do anything about you after you’re in Jasea?”

“What are you saying, Mr. Cadogan? I’m only returning to Jasea for work. Is there a

problem?”

After a long silence, Alaric chuckled lowly before replying, “Sure. There isn’t one. Then,

you should return to Jasea and wait for me there.”

The fake smile on Victoria’s face almost fell from her face. “Sure. I’ll wait for your

arrival.” Then, she hung up as the smile on her face disappeared entirely.

After that, she put her phone away and picked up her hand-carry luggage before

walking toward the boarding gate. On the other hand, Alaric returned the phone to

Terrance.

Terrance took a look and realized the phone call had ended. He inhaled deeply as he

recalled what he heard just now and carefully inquired, “Mr. Cadogan, did Miss Selwyn

go to the airport already?”

Alaric didn’t answer, but his gloomy face was a telltale sign as it were.

“Then… what should we do now?”

Alaric glanced at him. “Return to the office.”

Then, he entered the hotel room without another word. Terrance wanted to follow after

him but remembered the hotel staff was still waiting for their response. So, he

explained, “We don’t want the food anymore. You can share it with the staff. The person

in the room has already checked out.” Then, he hurriedly ran after Alaric.

The hotel staff was rooted to the spot for a good while before realizing what Terrance

meant and his eyes widened in delight.

In Jasea, Victoria had just gotten off the plane when Henry called her.

“Miss Selwyn, I’m waiting for you at the arrival gate. I see that your plane has landed.”

Victoria replied, “Yes. I’m about to head there. Just give me a few more minutes.”

“Sure.” Henry kept his phone and circled his fingers on the railing lightly. A few minutes

later, he saw a slender figure walking toward him.

He immediately put on a smile and approached her. “Welcome back, Miss Selwyn. How

was the trip to Gandra? Did any sparks of a possible reunion with Mr. Cadogan fly?”

The second sentence nearly made Victoria trip as she looked at him speechlessly.

“Mr. Poole, we’re old enough. Please don’t joke around like that.”

“Tsk. So what if we’re old? This is the best time to make jokes.”

Henry took her luggage from her. “Here. Let me. You’re the boss. You just need to get in

the car.*

Victoria didn’t argue with him. Since he wanted to take the luggage, she didn’t see a

point in refusing. Plus, she didn’t want to waste time and catch people’s attention

arguing at the exit.

After they got in the car, Henry still didn’t stop and started pestering her, asking, “But

really, though. Why didn’t Mr. Morison pick you up this time?”

Then, Victoria turned her head to the side and gave him a look. “Mr. Poole, I think we

should add another requirement the next time we’re hiring.”

Henry laughed, “What requirement?”

“Don’t gossip about your superior’s personal matters.”

“Sure. I’ll add it right away.” Henry smiled. “But Miss Selwyn, I’m not gossiping about

Chapter 265 You Think I Can’t Do Anything About Yo

you. I’m not the type to talk with others behind your back. I usually ask my questions

face to face.”

“No. You can’t do that either.”

Victoria shut her eyes as she didn’t want to entertain him any longer.

Henry was good-natured and liked to fool around. He also wasn’t one to get angry easily

either. So, he wasn’t offended at all when Victoria ignored him and wouldn’t assume

that she was pulling a long face at him.

“But by the looks of it, I’m guessing that you don’t want to talk to Mr. Morison? That’s

fantastic. Frankly, I don’t really like him either.”

Victoria pursed her lips and asked in resignation as she knew he wasn’t going to let her

off the h o o k so easily, “Mr. Poole, is your love life going well?”

“Of course. It’s great. I have a wife and a child. My family is happy. If you have any

problems in your love life, you can ask me. I’ve got quite the experience.”
