Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 391

Worker had just jumped out to argue after hearing their unsavory conversation and did 

dex expres the girls to target her own family. Biting her lip, she asked, “What did you 

Shat were we wrong? Only people like you with problematic families would be close 

to Bane Both of you are weirdos 

Hey Victoria if you date him, which one of you will cheat on the other?” 

She nearly exploded with rage and was about to charge forward to argue with them 

When a loud sound came from behind her. She turned around in shock to see the trash 

He now had a hole in it after being punched. The perpetrator was Bane, who had been 

standing off to one side with a cold expression. 

Plis frigid gaze lingered on her for an instant before shifting to the gossiping girls. A 

smile that didn’t fit him then appeared on his face.

Chapter 391 Truth About The Suicide 

When the girls were gone, Bane went in front of her, his menacing look disappearing 

completely and transforming him back into the gentle youth he was. “Why are you so 

stupid? They were talking about me, not you. Why did you argue with them?” 

Victoria frowned and naturally answered, “They weren’t right, so I had to go argue with 

them. What do you care?” 

She then turned around and left.

Bane sent her home that night. It was the only time he had seen him lose his temper so 

intensely; he never did do it before or after that incident. 

The event should have been a brief interlude in her life but thinking back on it, Bane’s 

childhood had to be extremely horrible. A broken family was much worse than one with 

a single parent; at least she had a peaceful family environment and enjoyed 

wholehearted love from her father. 

At that thought, she came back to herself and looked toward Ethan. “I know a little 

about it. Why?” 

He understood at once. “You really don’t know much, Miss Selwyn.” 

“If you’re referring to his family, I’ve already known about it since I was in school.”

Chapter 391 Truth About The Suicide 

“Did you know that Mrs. Morison committed suicide shortly after the family went 

overseas?” 

Her heart stuttered when she heard the word ‘suicide. “What did you say?” 

“Judging by your reaction, you really don’t know about it.” 

3/7 

Victoria pursed her lips. She really didn’t know about this, only that the entire Morison 

family had moved overseas not long after the scandal. Bane went with them and there 

was no news of the family after that. She and Bane met again only after many years 

had passed and his behavior seemed extremely stable, so she had always assumed 

that his family problems had been resolved. It hadn’t been a great memory, so she 

hadn’t been brave enough to ask about his family business. She hadn’t known that his 

mother had killed herself. 

“Because of…her?” Victoria was about to say ‘the mistress‘ but didn’t think it was 

appropriate with Nathan present and so changed her wording. 

Ethan was intelligent and immediately knew whom she was talking about, nodding. 

“Yes. His mother chose to end herself after falling apart emotionally. If you really do 

want to know more, I will tell you about it another time.” 

She knew at once that whatever he was about to say wasn’t suitable for Nathan’s ears

and nodded. “Okay. Find me when you have the chance.” 

“Sure, Miss Selwyn.” 

A/7 

They went along the long corridor and soon entered the interior. She could see Bane 

holding Nicole’s hand from a long distance away as they waited in the doorway. He still 

looked unbothered when she came closer. 

“You’re here? Did you get sick during the journey? You don’t look well.” He eyed her face 

in concern. 

He had put Victoria under house arrest yet pretended that nothing was wrong, which 

made her furious and open her mouth, ready to retort instinctively. However, she 

remembered what Ethan had said about Bane’s mother killing herself and swallowed 

her words instead before bowing her head, pretending she hadn’t heard what he had. 

said. 

Never mind. Arguing with him won’t change anything. 

Nicole ran toward her. “Mummy!” 

Victoria then noticed how red Nicole’s eyes were as if the girl had just been crying. “Did 

you feel sick during the journey?”

Her daughter nodded pitifully. 

“I’ll make you some soup later, alright?” 

“Okay.” 

Bane had probably taken good care of Nicole then. 

A man resembling a butler soon came over to introduce himself. “Hello, Miss Selwyn. 

I’m Donald and will be your butler from now on. Tell me if you need anything and I’l 

make arrangements for it.” 

Victoria’s expression was cool and she didn’t look at him with courtesy. While Donald 

hadn’t offended her, she didn’t really want to be here and so had no obligation to be 

polite to everyone here. If the butler didn’t like it, then it was Bane’s problem. 

5/7 

True enough, Donald touched his head when he saw her reaction. Did I say something 

that offended her?
