Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 

Victoria realized that her life became far better after she left Alaric.

When she was married, she couldn’t even meet up with her best friends at all.

However, after the divorce, Summer and Fiona would always visit her and they 

would lay on the same bed to look at the stars as they gossiped about things like 

children without a care in the world. 

On the other hand, Ethan helped carry the luggage upstairs. It was a double–story 

house with a balcony filled with a variety of plants. 

Therefore, the house had a screen window installed to prevent bugs from flying in, 

and repellent packs were placed on the windowsill as well. 

Victoria fell in love with the environment as soon as she stepped into the house. 

At first, she was worried that she needed to spend time looking at houses when she 

returned, but Fiona had settled it for her in a jiffy. 

Besides that, she didn’t even need to worry about cleaning the house because Fiona 

had hired professional help to clean the house. She even went as far as to place 

scented candles and plants that she loved around the house.

Ethan secretly took a glance at Victoria’s expression before quietly sending a 

message to Bane when he exited the room. 

“Mr. Morison, I’ve got something to report. The house you prepared for Miss Selwyn 

isn’t needed anymore. We bumped into her friend at the airport, who has already 

rented a house for her.” 

After he sent the reply, Ethan couldn’t help but regard the house once more. Not 

bad. She’s more thoughtful than Mr. Morison. 

The house Bane prepared was free of any procedures that Victoria needed to 

handle since it was already under her name. He even hired people to check the 

environment and location. 

Unfortunately, he lost to Fiona’s creativity. 

Fortunately, Bane lost to a woman. If it was a male friend, Bane’s position would be 

at risk. 

Soon, Bane replied to him, “Fiona Carza?” 

Ethan answered, “Yes, Mr. Morison.” 

As expected, Bane’s reply was calm, “Then, that’s alright. Fiona’s pretty detail

oriented. Make sure to check whether there’s anything else you can help with.” 

“Sure, Mr. Morison.” Ethan kept his phone away and helped arrange Victoria’s things.

Once everything was about done, Fiona told Ethan, ‘Mr. Hudson, did you come over 

on Bane’s orders? I heard that you took care of the three of them. Thank. you for your 

hard work.” 

He hastily waved his hands when he heard that. “Oh, no. It’s in my job description. 

There’s no need for thanks.” 

That was an overstatement. The three of them didn’t need his care at all since 

Victoria fell asleep the instant they boarded the plane while the two children were. 

sensible and cute throughout the ride. All that he did was push the luggage around. 

“You’re too nice, Mr. Hudson. You’ve done more than you should. Anyhow, you’re. 

probably tired from the long journey. Why don’t you get some rest? Everything is 

more or less settled.” 

He instinctively looked toward Victoria with a questioning look in his eyes. 

Victoria nodded when she noticed his questioning gaze. “You should rest, Mr. 

Hudson.”

After some thought, Ethan nodded as well. “Alright. The auction is tomorrow night. 

Do remember to prepare for that, Miss Selwyn. Please call me if you need anything 

else. I’ll come right over.” 

“Okay. Thank you.” 

Then, Victoria asked the children to bid goodbye to Ethan. 

After he left, Fiona and Victoria went to the balcony upstairs and made a pot of 

jasmine tea. 

The rich floral sweet smell of the jasmine flower accompanied by billowing heat. 

comforted them. 

Fiona, who once was bibulous, was drinking jasmine tea now. 

Victoria couldn’t help but tease her, “I thought you’d whip out a few bottles of 

alcohol and told me to drink that here.” 

Fiona froze slightly before laughing, “Alcohol? That’s not appropriate right now. Both 

its smell and appearance will spoil the current atmosphere. Besides, I quit drinking. 

I’m never gonna drink again.” 

“Oh? You’re turning over a new leaf? You were the best drinker among us.”

Fiona became forlorn when that was brought up. “Forget that. I’ve got gastritis now. 

The doctor said I can’t drink anymore. I still want to live. Besides, jasmine tea smells 

great.” 

Victoria was suddenly worried when she heard Fiona was sick. “How did that 

happen?” 

Fiona pursed her lips as if she didn’t want to tell her. After a while, she finally came 

clean. “Actually, I’ve got my eyes on a man.'” 

Victoria gave a quizzical look. 

“I met him in a bar. He’s absolutely exquisite. With that face of his, I feel like my life 

will be complete if I married him.” 

“Wait. What does this have to do with your gastritis?” 

“Big time.” Fiona sighed before saying dejectedly, “He’s a good drinker. I can’t beat 

him, but I wanted him to notice me. So, I practiced drinking. That’s why…”
