Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 

Then, Fiona took her phone out with a silly grin on her face while Victoria scooted 

closer with a doting smile. 

“Okay. Let me have a good look and see if this man is worthy of you.” 

However, Fiona clicked open the photo album, but couldn’t find that picture at all. 

“That’s weird. I was sure I took a picture. Although it’s not that clear since I was 

standing far away, the entire atmosphere was perfect. Judging by his aura, I’m sure. 

he’s not an ordinary man, Victoria.” 

Alas, Fiona still couldn’t find that picture after scrolling for some time. 

“Argh! Where’s my picture? Why is it gone? I tried so hard to get that picture!” 

Victoria grabbed her hand as she saw the frustration in Fiona’s eyes. “Hey. It’s okay if 

you can’t find it. You can take as many as you want once you’re together with him.” 

Fiona’s gaze suddenly turned miserable at that. “I don’t even know when that’ll 

happen. I took that picture while I was hiding in a corner. Even though he was 

drinking, he was very alert. S’it! It’s probably because he looked over when I was

about to take the picture… I probably forgot to press the button.” 

Fiona felt sad that she let that opportunity slip by her fingers just like that. 

“Besides, he doesn’t usually go there. I’ve only seen him a few times.” 

“If that’s the case, why don’t you go ask for his number the next time you see him? 

Be brave!” 

“Who do you think you’re talking to here? He didn’t even answer me.” 

Victoria was speechless. She was certain that the man Fiona had her eyes on was 

an ice king. 

“It seemed like he was troubled. My heart ached for him seeing how lonely he was 

when he was drinking.” 

Victoria stayed silent. Sure enough, a woman in love would be blind. He was just 

drinking and still Fiona’s imagination ran wild.

“What about this, then?” Fiona suddenly grabbed her arm and suggested with 

smiling eyes, “You should join me tonight. I’ve been waiting for him for two weeks 

and he hasn’t shown up. You’re my lucky charm. Maybe I’ll see him when you come

with me!” 

“No.” Victoria rejected her suggestion without a second thought. “I’ve got to stay 

home with Nicole and Nathan.” 

“They’re both good children. I’m sure they can stay home without parental 

supervision for a while. You’ll only be out with me for two hours at most. If you’re 

still worried, you can ask Mr. Hudson to come over and look after them.” 

“You were the one who asked Mr. Hudson to rest. Are you saying that he has to 

come here again to help me look after the children when he’s just reached the hotel 

not too long ago?” 

“So what? He’s Bane’s employee. He’ll do anything for you. You’re going to be his 

sooner or later anyways.” 

That last sentence made Victoria change her expression. “Fiona, don’t ever say that 

again.” 

“Gosh. I’m just joking. I don’t understand you. Bane’s a great guy. Why don’t you like 

him? He has his mind set on you. Do you really not feel anything for him after so 

long?“.

Victoria was at a loss about how to explain this to her and sighed helplessly, “Just. 

Don’t joke about this anymore.” 

“Okay. Okay. I’ll stop it. So, are you going with me or not?” 

“No.” Victoria turned around and left. 

Fiona immediately chased after her and hugged her arm. “Oh, come on. Please. Go 

with me.” 

When they passed by a room, Nathan just so happened to come out. So, Fional 

urged him, “Nathan, quick! Tell your mom to go out with me tonight.” 

Then, he lifted his little head and looked at her, “Aunt Fiona?” 

Fiona was still insistent about going out with Victoria but got sidetracked by 

Nathan’s cuteness and turned into a kooky aunt. 

“Oh, my, my. Come here and let me kiss you.” 

Victoria just looked at them, utterly speechless. 

In the evening, Victoria was cooking, and Fiona went to change her clothes and 

planned to help Victoria out in the kitchen.

When Fiona passed by the living room, she took a glance inside and stopped in her 

tracks when she saw Nathan sitting in front of the coffee table. 

The night was fast approaching, and the rays of the setting sun reflected off 

Nathan’s delicate yet sharp features. 

The young child sat there focused on studying while a sense of maturity and 

indifference that didn’t match his age showed on his young face. 

Fiona stood there and stared at Nathan with her mouth agape in disbelief. 

Was it because she’s not seen that man in the bar for too long, so she was 

imagining things? 

Why did she see the shadow of that man in Nathan? 

After a few seconds, Fiona rubbed her eyes. 

“I’m probably just hallucinating from the lack of sleep.” Then, she turned around and 

went to the kitchen to help Victoria. 

Nonetheless, she was still flustered by that scene in the living room. 

His side profile and that aura he emits. How could they be so alike?

Chapter 195 Comcemed 

When she was washing the vegetables, she couldn’t help but ask, “Victoria, can I ask 

you a personal question?” 

Victoria stopped cooking and turned her head to look at Fiona helplessly. “Is it about 

Bane again?” 

Fiona immediately denied it, “No. No. What I wanted to ask had nothing to do with 

him.” 

If it’s nothing to do with Bane… “Then, ask away.” 

As long as she’s not asking about my love life..

“Really?” Fiona was still a little concerned. “Can I really ask anything?”
