Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 

1/7 

Very well. Three cups of hot cocoa. You can find a table and wait there,” the cashier 

said

Okay,Ethan said

He looked around and led the children to a table by the window

Come. Let’s go there,” he said to them

Nicole swiftly ran over to grab a corner of Ethan’s shirt

When he looked down, he spotted a tiny pink fist clenched around his shirt. It was 

so tiny that it was barely a third of the size of his palm

It might be small, but it still clung tight to his shirt

He was the stereotypical tough guy, but he felt his heart melt into a puddle at the 

sight of that fist

It was no wonder that most people liked kids

Thus, he slowed down to ensure Nicole was able to keep up with him. He also

glanced at Nathan to check on him

As expected of the boy, Nathan maintained a distance from him as he walked 

beside his sister in a composed manner. The solemn look on his face made him 

look just like a miniature adult

Ever since Alaric’s warning, Terrance had been too afraid to be distracted by 

anything else. When he heard Ethan walking past with suitcases, he had the strong 

urge to look over

However, the memory of Alaric’s warning glare forced him to suppress it

He waited until Ethan walked past them before sneaking a glance at Ethan

He had expected to see a pile of suitcases being moved, not the backs of two 

adorable children

The children were dressed in outfits that were identical in every way except for 

color

Ah, children. Finally, Terrance realized why Ethan had so many suitcases with him

You will not be getting on the plane if you can’t resolve this matter before the

boarding time.” 

Alaric’s frigid voice and warning caught him by surprise

Terrance snapped back to his senses to find Alaric glaring at him with icy eyes

As Terrance’s face went pale, he hurriedly replied, Right away! I promise I won’t be 

distracted again.”

The very thought that he might not get on the flight scared him so much that he did 

not have the guts to think about anything else but his work. With his head ducked 

down, he focused all of his attention on the work

The women’s bathrooms

The capital’s airport was so huge that Victoria had to spend several long minutes 

searching for the bathrooms

After locking herself in the stall, she found that her period had arrived as expected

She had been so busy throughout the month that she forgot her period was 

supposed to start today

Thankfully, she always kept a stash of emergency supplies in her bag

Otherwise… 

Once she was done, she headed outside to wash her hands

The water was ice cold. She would usually be fine with it except during her periods

The cold sensation was unbearable then as every drop of water flowing down her 

hands felt like shards of ice scraping past her skin

Her face was ghastly pale, including her lips

The pain radiating from her abdomen felt stronger than before

That was likely caused by the cold drink she had last night

She would never touch anything cold during the days before her period was due to 

start, but she had been so very busy that she forgot what day it was. She also did 

not have the time to think last night. Food was all that she could think about

She was in for it now. Today, she would be dying from pain

She did not bring any painkillers either

In the end, she had no choice but to stumble out of the bathroom with her arms 

wrapped around her abdomen

As she walked out, she bumped into a middleaged woman who steadied her with

concerned look on her face. Goodness! Are you okay?” 

Victoria plastered a friendly smile on her face and nodded her head

I’m fine,” she replied

But, you don’t look so good, love.” 

It’s just my period.” 

The woman instantly understood what was happening then. Take care, then.” 

Thank you,Victoria responded with another wan smile

5/9 

Right outside the bathroom was a boarding gate, so she sat down near it and pulled 

out her phone to message Ethan

Have you arrived at the boarding gates yet, Mr. Hudson?‘ 

When Ethan received her message, he had been waiting in the cafe for a very long

time, frustrated that his order had yet to arrive

The workers here were way too slow

As he thought that, his phone buzzed with Victoria’s message

6/9 

We’re in a cafe near where we parted,’ he started to reply

Your hot cocoa, sir.” 

Before he could finish his message, the cafe staff called out to him

Okay,he called back, putting away his phone to grab the suitcases. Then, he 

turned to Nathan and Nicole and said, Come. Our hot cocoas are waiting for us.” 

The two children followed behind him as he walked off with the suitcases

As they passed by Alaric, Nathan, who was walking at the back, glanced at Alaric

With one glance, Nathan recognized Alaric as the man who had opened the door for 

him in the bathrooms even though he was on a call

Nathan had not expected to see Alaric here

He opened his mouth to greet Alaric but was interrupted by Ethan

Hey, kiddos, stay close to me. I’ll be doomed if I lose you,” Ethan said

Distracted from his initial train of thought, Nathan turned and toddled over to Ethan

with his tiny legs

With three cups of hot cocoa successfully acquired, Ethan made sure to place 

straws in the children’s cups. He then ruffled their hair

Alright. Let’s go find your mom.” 

Nicole took a tentative sip of her warm drink. Her beautiful eyes squinted with joy
