Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 390

Chapter 390 

177 

The trip had been smooth in the beginning but soon became steep and winding toward 

the end. Victoria could stand it at first, but after ten minutes she became dizzy. Nathan 

leaned into her embrace, clearly feeling ill as well. 

Even though she didn’t feel well, she cared for Nathan and helped rub his temple while 

asking gently, “Do you feel better?” 

However, Nathan felt too sick to reply, so she told the driver, “Can you slow down a 

little? My son feels sick.” 

Since they were in a rush, the car didn’t slow down that much even though the road 

was mountainous. They had wasted too much time after all, and Ethan was worried 

about their plans after that. However, he then turned to see the boy curled up in 

Victoria’s embrace while she looked pale as well though she tried to control it. Hel 

couldn’t bear it and so told the driver to slow down. 

When the car had slowed and become more stable, the situation improved slightly. She 

suppressed her feeling of nausea as she held Nathan in her arms, but then she began 

to 

worry about Nicole who was away from them. The girl had to be feeling sick during 

the ride, plus she had cried as she left. Victoria was worried sick about her daughter. Is 

she still scared? Is she still crying fiercely? Would she start the hiccups?

The more Victoria thought about it, the more vexed she felt. She eventually closed her 

eyes, wishing only for the trip to end quickly. 

It was some time before the car eventually stopped in front of a bungalow located in 

the mountains. The car door had just opened when she saw another car parked at the 

main entrance of the bungalow which was wide open. Countless bodyguards stood on 

both sides of the entrance, making the place look well–secured. However, that meant 

that it would be extremely difficult for her to escape. 

“Miss Selwyn, we’re here.” 

Victoria held Nathan as she alighted from the car and asked immediately, “Where’s 

Nicole?” 

Ethan respectfully replied, “Miss Nicole is with Mr. Morison and so wouldn’t be 

ill–treated. She may be inside the bungalow already so let’s join them, Miss Selwyn.” 

She really wanted to turn him down, but Nicole was inside the bungalow and Victoria 

wondered how badly she might have suffered during the journey. So, she had no choice 

but to follow him into the bungalow. As she walked, she observed the environment 

around her. Tall gates surrounded the bungalow and the only exit was guarded by 

countless bodyguards.

Chapter 390 Make Him Become Tired Of You 

Ethan’s voice suddenly came from the front. “Miss Selwyn, if you truly don’t fancy Mr. 

Morison, my suggestion is to make him become tired of you before leaving. That’s the 

best approach.” 

There was no one else around and he was leading the way. 

Victoria became puzzled by that. “Become tired of me? And how do I do that?”

Ethan’s footsteps paused before slowing down. “I’ve been at his side for many years. 

He’s the type to desire something the more he’s denied it. The reason he’s locked you in 

here is because he has never won you over before.” 

She was speechless. What kind of dumb statement was that? Did she have to let Bane. 

win her over just so she could safely leave him? 

Victoria replied sternly at once, “Your suggestion is useless. I won’t accept it.” 

He could guess what she had thought by her instant cold expression. “Miss Selwyn, 

don’t misunderstand. When I said win you over, I didn’t mean whatever you were 

thinking.” 

She looked down instinctively at Nathan. It felt weird to be discussing something like 

this in front of a child.

“What I meant was to make him feel as if he has won you over, which means making 

him happy.”

“What do you mean?” Ethan’s words puzzled her even more. 

“Do you know what Mr. Morison’s family is like, Miss Selwyn?” 

Victoria frowned since she had heard others talk about it. They all said how Bane’s 

father had been a jerk who ignored his children and wife to indulge in alcohol and 

parties before ending up being embroiled in a romantic scandal with a young girl. Many 

criticized the man, but some defended him as well. 

“Rich men are all the same. They already have fame and status and are just chasing 

something new outside of their family. They will go home when they are tired of it and 

won’t cause anything serious.” 

Bane had described all men as completely useless, but Victoria knew that not all men 

were like Bane’s father. For example, her father had always remained single after her 

mother’s death. Victoria wasn’t the only reason he hadn’t remarried; besides that, he still 

loved her mother deeply. If he could maintain his dignity and morals when his beloved. 

was no longer with him, why couldn’t other men do the same? They merely didn’t want 

to do so.

come. Teed DH 

She had wanted to comfort Bane, but he kept talking about Alaric and Claudia

whenever they saw each other. She didn’t want to hear about them, so she eventually 

stopped consoling Bane. Sometime after that, she heard that his parents wanted to get 

divorced since his father’s mistress had visited them while heavily pregnant in a bid to 

become his actual wife. It had caused a massive uproar back then. 

The citizens of Gandra kept talking about the family, and Bane who had still been in 

school became the most obvious target for gossip. She had heard people discuss him 

in private during that period too.
