Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108

At that thought, Victoria snorted and looked at him coldly. “Go find your

darling Claudia to fulfill your physical needs.”

Alaric’s eyes darkened as he gritted his teeth. “I only want you and no one

else.”

After speaking, he leaned forwards to seek her lips again but instead

received a slap.

“Go! Go and find your darling Claudia. Don’t touch me. Just go!” Victoria

was shaking with anger since he still wanted to continue after being

slapped.

However, Alaric caught her wrist and raised his voice as he asked, “You’re

angry now? Your recent role as an obedient wife was played so well. Why

aren’t you continuing with that?”

She knew he wanted to use her for his physical needs, which was why she

became utterly irrational. She felt more reluctant to answer him and

merely struggled harder.

Seeing Victoria act like this made Alaric feel angry yet sympathetic, but

remembering what Norwood and his grandmother had said made him

tighten his grip on her wrist slightly. “You said that of your own volition

back then, so why are you getting angry? Snowball, what are you angry at?”

His eyes were fixed on her as he asked the question like he wanted to make

sure of something. “Are you angry that I said being with you was merely to

fulfill my physical desires, or are you angry that I met up with Claudia?”

Victoria, who had been struggling, suddenly understood after hearing what

Alaric said. If she hadn’t known why he had suddenly behaved like this,

now she did. He wanted to test her.

“What do you really want to say?” She looked at his handsome face and

laughed lightly. She had to admit that his looks fit her taste: even now she

still thought him attractive, She had fancied him intensely back then but

that didn’t mean she would give him everything without limitations.

His lips moved briefly but he did not speak. However, it was clear what he

wanted to say. They had been childhood sweethearts for so long, so they

knew each other really well and took each other seriously. However, it was

just because of the latter that some questions couldn’t be asked, such as

when it came to liking and concern for someone.

Once such questions were asked and a certain boundary was crossed, their

relationship would never be the same. It was one thing for it to become less

pure but entirely another if it deteriorated. What was more awkward than

one person treating the other as a friend but the other fancying the other?

They might not be able to continue being friends. That was why Alaric had

to ask that question in such a restrained, controlled tone.

However, Victoria wasn’t like him and knew what he wanted to ask based

on her knowledge of him. She smiled and replied coldly, “Do you think I

have feelings for you?”

His chest felt tight since he did not expect her to mention it so directly. “You

“Don’t worry.” She looked at him and continued mildly, “I don’t fancy you at

all.”

When Alaric did not respond, she continued, “I did say it was for our

physical needs, but that was based on the condition where you don’t go

about dabbling in relationships. It’s different now, though. You already

have Claudia, so why do I need to go to you to deal with my needs? Do I

seem so easy to you?”

Her words were light, but they stabbed him right in the heart. His gaze had

changed as he stared at her and snarled, “Whom are you going to seek out,

then? Noel or Bane?”

She didn’t know what to say.

“Bane sent you home the night of the farewell party, right?”

Victoria frowned with surprise. How does he know about that? She had

assumed Alaric’s attention was entirely focused on Claudia.

“You went out with him yesterday too.”
