Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 

At this time, Victoria had already changed into her pajamas and was 

about to fall asleep

She didn’t let her dark mood interfere with her daily routine

She would face a difficult battle if she chose to keep her child

As such, she had to keep her energy levels high to prepare for the battle

She would lie in bed to rest even if she couldn’t sleep

However, her cell phone rang at this time. She glanced at the screen and 

saw that the call had come from Alaric

Victoria was perplexed when she saw the name on the screen

She had a heated argument with him earlier. When he rushed out, Victoria

assumed he was going to find Claudia

That was why Victoria was surprised when Alaric called her

She was about to answer the call but remembered the previous call he 

had asked Claudia to make

Maybe he will inform me of the same thing again

Victoria didn’t want to pick it up because of that

However, she accepted the call as the phone kept ringing. Then, she heard 

a male voice she didn’t recognize

After a while, she eventually got out of bed and resignedly changed out of 

her pajamas to go outside

The temperature had dropped after dark

As a result, she shrank back subconsciously as soon as she walked out

Everyone was asleep by then, so Victoria didn’t bother calling the driver

Instead, she went to the garage with the keys

Norwood’s words rang in her head as she drove away

Alaric doesn’t appear to be in good shape. Please come over here as 

soon as possible.” 

Why is Alaric not in good shape? Will his possessiveness turn him odd

Victoria did not imagine that Alaric would want to get drunk

More importantly, she resumed her erratic thinking

Could Alaric have been acting strangely because he is jealous? No, he 

loves Claudia, so how can he be jealous because of me? He must believe 

(that his masculinity has been attacked, which is why he’s acting strangely

As Victoria was thinking, a beam of light appeared ahead of her. She 

came to her senses and hurriedly swerved to one side before slowing 

down and stopping on the side of the road

She then leaned on the steering wheel while gasping in surprise

That was dangerous… 

She would have collided with that car if she didn’t react quickly enough

After adjusting her breathing, she resumed her journey

To ensure her safety, she stopped her thoughts from running wild and 

drove seriously for the rest of her journey. She soon arrived at the bar 

Norwood had mentioned

Although it was already dark, many couples hugged and kissed each 

other outside the bar

Victoria could only find a parking space and rush to the bar because the 

establishment did not allow vehicles to park at the entrance

However, as she was about to enter, she noticed a familiar figure running 

from the street

Victoria fixed her gaze on the figure. It was Claudia

Claudia had missed Victoria. She dashed into the bar while clutching her 

bag

It was apparent why Claudia was there

What am I doing here? To make a joke about myself

Even so, Victoria couldn’t move and stood motionless

After an unknown time, a few familiar figures emerged from the entrance

Victoria instinctively hid in the shadows the moment she saw them

What’s the problem? Why did you suddenly start drinking so much? Why 

didn’t you stop Alaric from drinking, West?” 

Claudia and West helped Alaric out of the bar, followed by Norwood, who 

maintained a calm demeanor

West was upset as Claudia blamed him. He went on to say, I tried to stop 

him, but you know he never listens to us. If you were present and stopped 

him, he might comply.” 

Claudia let out a sigh. Alaric, you’re an adult already. Why do you continue 

to consume so much alcohol?” 

They collaborated to get Alaric into the car

Victoria stood in the shadows and watched quietly

Suddenly, the inebriated Alaric sensed something. Grabbing Claudia’s thin 

wrist, he babbled, DDon’t ggo.” 

Claudia was taken aback but she returned to her senses to lightly pat him 

on the shoulder. Alright, alright. I’m not going. Please be good.” 

Victoria couldn’t take another look at them at that point

She gritted her teeth, regretting coming to the bar late at night

I should not have answered the phone. Instead of rushing here to 

humiliate myself, I should have laid in bed. I don’t know why I’m doing this

Do I have to let others break my heart to give up Alaric

In the end, Victoria walked away with an indifferent expression

She didn’t care about them any longer, so she didn’t notice Alaric shaking 

Claudia’s hand away after the woman told him to be good

It was a powerful push

Claudia stumbled after being thrown and nearly fell to the ground. West 

rushed to her aid because he was nearby

Are you okay, Claudia?” 

Claudia was dazed because she had not recovered from the shock
