Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262

Victoria sent a message to Fiona before she went to bed.

Fiona replied to her message with the video of the two children having fun in the

amusement park.

 

 

 

“Don’t worry. I’m looking after the kids. They had fun today. Since tomorrow is the

weekend, I’ll send them home later.”

Fiona had looked after the children for Victoria more than once in the past, so she

didn’t see a reason not to trust Fiona.

“All right. Thank you. I’ll be back soon.” After that, Victoria put her phone away to

sleep.

She wasn’t aware that Fiona played the video of Nathan and Nicole again after their

conversation ended.

They’re too cute! Fiona thought.

She couldn’t help but share the video on her Facebook.

Not long after she posted the video, her admirers liked the post. They showered the

 

children with praise to gain her favors.

Fiona read the comments, but none of them pleased her.

 

No matter the content, the men would only mindlessly leave compliments. These

hypocrites.

 

 

At that, Fiona exited Facebook. She couldn’t resist looking at the contact she pinned

in her messaging app.

It belongs to Mr. Cadogan.

The pair never talked to each other for once ever since they exchanged numbers

that day.

She sent him messages, but he never replied. She remembered his distant attitude.

I bet he doesn’t read them at all.

Besides, something is going on between him and Victoria.

Fiona didn’t dare ask or have the will to ask him. Even if something is going on

between them, I don’t want to know.

At that, Fiona tapped open their conversation. It was a rather one-sided

 

 

 

 

conversation, in which every message was from her as if she was clingy.

 

It was the first time she put herself in such a position for a man. Usually, it was the

man who pursued her instead of the other way around. Even if she had to take the

initiative sometimes, the men would rush to her side at the first syllable that left her

mouth.

However, Alaric was different. He showed no interest in her no matter what she did.

Fiona was frustrated. She tapped into the contact’s information, trying to delete his

number.

Her finger hovered above the delete button. She was hesitating.

Do I really want to?

After a few moments of hesitation, she exited her app.

Forget about it. I won’t delete his number for the time being. I can still try in the

future.

 

 

At the same moment, Nicole called out to her. “Miss Flona! Over here!”

Fiona immediately put her phone away. “I’m coming.”

 

She stopped paying attention to the comments under the video she posted as she

joined the children in their games.

 

The next morning, Victoria woke up on time. After getting washed, she changed into

her lingerie before putting on the sweater and overcoat she wore yesterday. After

that, she walked over to the door.

She thought she would have to wait for her companions. To her surprise, she was

greeted by the sight of Alaric leaning against the wall and a fidgeting Terrance when

she left the room.

Upon noticing her, Terrance cast her a smile. “Good morning, Miss Selwyn.”

Terrance met her gaze when she glanced at them.

“You’re early,” she remarked.

“We happened to wake up early. Miss Selwyn, it rained last night, so the temperature

outside is low. Don’t you think you should put on more layers of clothes?”

Low temperature? No wonder I feel chilly in the corridor.

Chapter 262 The Cemetery

I’m fine with it. I’m not afraid of the cold. It’s just that someone worries me,

Victoria turned to Alaric.

She involuntarily frowned at the sight of his outfits.

Alaric was wearing a button-down, a sweater vest, and a coat.
