Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Paramour

Alaric brought Victoria to a secluded place before coming to a stop.

She felt puzzled.

“Why did you tell them about our relationship?”

Alaric’s hand around her waist paused for a moment after he heard her question. He turned his head to see her confused expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Why can’t I tell them about our relationship?”

As he spoke, he leaned closer and his voice carried a hint of danger.

“What’s wrong, Snowball? Don’t you want others to know about our relationship? Is my identity not presentable?”

Victoria was speechless.

“Or perhaps… you have a paramour in the company?”

Initially, she was just curious why he chose to announce their relationship. She didn’t expect him to have such. vivid imagination.

A single sentence gave rise to so many thoughts. It turned out guys would think so much as well.

Victoria looked at Alaric in front of her and blinked her eyes gently.

“I don’t have my memories anymore. Even if I really have a paramour in the company, I wouldn’t remember, right?”

It was evident that she was intentionally teasing him.

However, Alaric couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy in his heart. He pursed his lips and deliberately said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. If you were to have a paramour, he would reveal himself on his own.”

Victoria raised an eyebrow. “If that’s the case, you should look forward to seeing it.”

She suddenly had another thought and continued, “You’re only talking about me. What about your company? After all, your company is bigger than mine. If you wanted to keep a mistress, it would certainly be easier for you, right?”

Alaric was dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect her to turn the tables on him.

Was his company big?

Heh. Wasn’t she indirectly saying that if he wanted to keep a mistress, he would have plenty more choices than

her?

The jealousy that had arisen in his heart due to her attitude was alleviated at this moment.

Alaric could also sense that she cared about him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought up his company at this

moment.

After thinking about it, he said straightforwardly, “If you’re so worried, why not bring your laptop and work at

my company?”

Victoria didn’t refuse him. Instead, she asked, “Can I do that? Won’t it affect you if I go to your company?”

Alaric’s voice was low. “Affect what?”

“Affect your mistress.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the grip on her waist tightened. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, “Snowball, you’ll know whether I keep a mistress or not if you go and see for yourself.”

Victoria almost had the illusion that he was about to kiss her after she felt the dangerous aura emanating from him and his scorching breath wafting on her face.

After all, they were still at the company. If he couldn’t control himself and kissed her, it would be embarrassing

if someone saw them.

Victoria could only push him away at the thought of this.

“Forget it.”

After speaking, she took a deep breath and lowered her head to tidy her clothes, which had been messed up

earlier.

“Forget it?”

Those two words caused a frown between Alaric’s eyebrows. He was puzzled and asked, “What do you mean by forget it? Aren’t you going to my company anymore?”

Could it be that she was just speaking casually earlier? In reality, she didn’t want to go there, did she?

Alaric’s expression turned unpleasant after he thought of this possibility.

Victoria also noticed his sudden darkening expression and immediately realized what he was thinking. She asked helplessly, “Are you angry?”

Alaric pursed his lips but still answered, “No.”

She asked again, “Are you really not angry?”

“Mm.”

She didn’t expect him to be so stubborn.

He was clearly angry.

Victoria suppressed her amusement. Just as she was about to explain, hurried footsteps came from ahead,

followed by the appearance of a tall figure from around the corner.

“Miss Selwyn.”

The moment Victoria saw him, she almost immediately confirmed that he should be the manager Alaric

mentioned.

The person who came over was indeed Henry.

After finishing his work, he heard from the company’s employees that Victoria had come to the company, and not only her but also Alaric.

13:55 Wed, 19 July G

Upon hearing the news, Henry hurried over. When he saw Victoria, he was quite excited. It had been a long

time since he last saw her..

Back then, she had suddenly left and disappeared as if she had gone missing, which made Henry quite worried, He was afraid that something had happened to her.

He finally felt relieved after seeing her standing in front of him now safely and in good health.

After all, Henry couldn’t find such good treatment anywhere else.

After greeting Victoria, he also greeted Alaric.

“Mr. Cadogan, you’re here too.”

Alaric’s expression wasn’t particularly good due to the incident just now, but Henry was an important person in Victoria’s company. Even if he was unhappy, he still nodded and responded.

Henry keenly sensed something, but he didn’t voice his thoughts. Instead, he smiled and led Victoria to the office while talking to her about work.

Since Victoria hadn’t been to the company for a long time, there were many work matters that needed to be handed over. She was a bit confused at first, but she became serious once she had gotten the hang of it.

As she had work to handle, there was no place for Alaric to stay in the office. In the end, he could only sit on

the couch and wait for her.

While Henry was coordinating with Victoria, he occasionally glanced at Alaric sitting on the distant couch and whispered, “Miss Selwyn, why did Mr. Cadogan come with you?”

After asking, he remembered something else and said, “Also, Miss Selwyn, why didn’t you tell me that you two are actually in that kind of relationship?”

Victoria was startled at the question.

Thinking about the announcement Alaric made in the company earlier, she quickly connected the dots in her mind. She also had some speculations, so she decided to follow his words and ask, “Didn’t I tell you before?”

“No, you didn’t.”

Victoria didn’t show any signs of amnesia, so Henry didn’t know about it. When she asked this question, he subconsciously thought she wanted to tell him but had forgotten.

“Tsk.” Henry looked at Alaric’s figure and said, “If I had known that you were husband and wife, I wouldn’t have worried about you before. Since you are husband and wife, how did it turn into such a mess before? Did you have a fight?”

Victoria’s heart sank after she heard what Henry said. What had turned into such a mess?

She pursed her lips and asked directly, “Do you remember the day you started working here?”

This question didn’t seem strange to Henry. After all, someone might not want to answer the question, so they would ask something else to divert attention.

So, he openly stated the date he started working.

After speaking, he added meaningfully, “Miss Selwyn, even if you don’t want to answer my question, there’s no need to use this kind of diversion tactic, right?”

However, Victoria fell into her own thoughts.

His start date coincided closely with the date she posted on her Facebook. Furthermore, he didn’t know about her relationship with Alaric…
