Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265

The hotel staff was perplexed to see Alaric and Terrance and questioned warily, “You

are?”

 

 

 

Terrance pointed at himself and answered, “I was the one who called earlier and

ordered in my friend’s stead. She’s in the opposite room.”

The hotel staff immediately made a face of understanding and nodded.

“Oh, okay. But it seems your friend isn’t around. No one came to the door even after I

pressed the bell a few times.”

The hotel staff asked carefully, “Why don’t you make a call to check if she’s still inside?”

So, Alaric looked at Terrance. “Call her.”

Terrance whipped out his phone to call Victoria. At first, he didn’t think that she would

answer, but she did very quickly.

 

 

 

“Mr. Levane.” Victoria’s voice didn’t sound like she was woken up from slumber. So,

shouldn’t be sleeping at that moment. But why didn’t she open the door when the

doorbell rang?

“Miss Selwyn, are you awake?”

 

 

 

Victoria sat in the bustling lounge with the phone to her ear. She pursed her lips before

sighing.

“Miss Selwyn, if you are, please open the door. Mr. Cadogan and I ordered food for you.”

Terrance’s voice was filled with apprehension and a clear desire to please.

Up to this point, Victoria couldn’t help but sigh again as she murmured, “It’s alright, Mr.

Levane. I’m sorry for the inconvenience but I’ve already left.”

“Huh?” Terrance looked a little lost and confused at her words. “Miss Selwyn, you-”

But before he could finish his sentence, Alaric took his phone.

Just as Alaric put the phone to his ear, he heard Victoria’s voice, “I’m at the airport going

back to Jasea. Please inform Alaric about this.”

His face instantly turned dark at that. “What did you say?”

 

 

 

The sudden change of tone stunned Victoria before she realized why Terrance’s voice

was suddenly cut off. It was because Alaric had taken his phone yet again.

She calmed down and answered lightly, “Didn’t you hear me? Then, that’s great. It

seems that Terrance wouldn’t need to tell you instead.”

Alaric’s eyes were as cold as ice. “What is the meaning of this, Victoria?”

“Nothing. Did you forget this was a deal? I told you yesterday in the hospital, this was

only a contract. Now that I’ve seen Grandma, I’ll be returning to Jasea since I do have

business to attend to there.”

Alaric sneered, “Did you say you’re not feeling well and wanted to rest?”

“Yes. I rested for 20 minutes. Is there a problem?”

After she hung up the phone, she bought the earliest plane ticket to Jasea and packed

her stuff after resting for 20 minutes.

 

 

 

 

Alaric was speechless at her retort. It wasn’t that he couldn’t, but he was infuriated by

her attitude and was at a loss for what to say.

He gritted his teeth and hissed through clenched teeth, “Wait for me there.”

However, Victoria smirked and drawled nonchalantly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Cadogan. I can’t.

I’ve already passed through security and the plane’s about to take off. You won’t make it

even if you hurry over now.”

Alaric didn’t speak, but his hands gradually tightened on the phone as his temper flared.

“Victoria, do you think that I can’t do anything about you after you’re in Jasea?”

“What are you saying, Mr. Cadogan? I’m only returning to Jasea for work. Is there a

problem?”

After a long silence, Alaric chuckled lowly before replying, “Sure. There isn’t one. Then,

you should return to Jasea and wait for me there.”

The fake smile on Victoria’s face almost fell from her face. “Sure. I’ll wait for your

arrival.” Then, she hung up as the smile on her face disappeared entirely.

After that, she put her phone away and picked up her hand-carry luggage before
