Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 

“But Mr. Hudson seemed angry, and I was afraid to offend him, so- 

While the leader listened to that explanation, he suddenly paled and ordered, 

“Sh*t! Go after him, and find someone to check if Miss Selwyn is in her room.” 

With that, everyone went to carry out their orders. Some went to get a car 

while others went to check. 

“Oh, no. Miss Selwyn is not in her room!” 

“Geez, Mr. Hudson. Send more cars to chase after him and tell Mr. Morison 

about this.” 

Instantly, the entire residential area fell into chaos. 

After escaping, Ethan drove the car at top speed. Meanwhile, Victoria and the 

children had sat up. Considering they might face dangerous situations later, 

they all fastened their seatbelts. 

He dared not slow down and looked at the rearview mirror, checking the

situation while speaking to her, “They’ll be alerted soon. Worst–case scenario 

-they’re catching up right now. If they do, I’ll send you somewhere you can 

hide. The car will be an obvious target.” 

Nodding, Victoria affirmed, “Okay.” 

“After that, I might not be able to see you soon, so you have to think of 

something after getting out.” Once he finished speaking, he gave her a serious 

look through the rearview mirror. “Miss Selwyn, we’re not home, so are you 

sure about this? You’re alone with two children, so staying outside the villa 

might be highly dangerous. We can still return if you regret this.” 

“No, I’m not going back. I don’t regret my decision.” She bit her lip. “It’s not 

like I haven’t lived abroad with my children before, so don’t worry. You can just 

find somewhere to drop us off.” 

When he heard her determined tone and reluctance to stay, he nodded and 

said, “Okay. I understand.” 

Intending to hide from traffic cameras, Ethan took several twists and turns. 

After who knew how long, he had lost track of where he was and finally found 

a secluded place to drop Victoria and the children off.

Once the car stopped, he looked into the distance. “There’s a farm in front. You 

can hide there.” 

Then, the trio got out of the car, but before they left. Ethan remembered 

something and took out all the cash from his wallet before giving it to her. “I 

don’t have much cash on me during this trip. This is all I have, and I can’t give 

you my phone because they might track it.” 

Looking at the wad of cash, Victoria refused to take it. “Mr. Hudson…” Her voice. 

choked up. “I’m sorry that this is gonna cause you trouble.” 

When he heard that, he showed her a bright smile. “Miss Selwyn, I’ve watched. 

Nicole and Nathan grow up these five years. They’re adorable, and you’re a 

great person. I…” He could not continue the rest but stuffed the cash into her 

hand. “You should hurry up and leave. The longer you stay in one place, the 

larger the risk of exposing your location.” 

Once he finished, he returned to the car, looking like he did not intend to say 

anything more. 

Victoria bit her lip. She had already left with him, so saying anything else now 

would only make her hypocritical. Therefore, she gave him a deep look and 

thanked him before quickly leaving with her children.

Ethan sat in his original spot, watching as the three figures left. He waited 

until they hid inside the farm before leaving. 

Since no one was in the car with him, he drove slowly. That was all he could do 

for her, and as for what awaited him later, he had no idea. Guilt was inevitable, 

for some things could not be undone. 

An hour later, the others caught up with Ethan’s car. When he and his car were 

brought before Bane, he wore a devastated expression, seeming to have long 

foreseen his outcome and had no intention of begging for mercy. 

“Where is she?” Bane’s tone still sounded light, but Ethan knew this was the 

calm before the storm. 

He smiled before meeting Bane’s eyes. “I don’t know where they went. We split 

up halfway.” 

When Bane heard that, he felt his temples pulsing. “Why?” 

With pursed lips, Ethan answered, “No reason. I wanted to do it, so I did.” 

“Is it because I punished you?” Bane straightened his glasses. “Is this your way

of getting back at me?”

“No.” Ethan shook his head. “To be more precise, you gave me this job, so even 

if you punish me, I will never get back at you.” Once he got to that, he tried to 

persuade Bane. “Mr. Morison, you should stop now before things get worse.” 

Bane looked at him, and the gentleness on his face disappeared. “I should stop 

now?” 

“Mr. Morison, do you know why Miss Selwyn held back from calling the cops 

when she could?” 

Bane pursed his lips but did not answer. 

“If she had called the cops back then, what would things be like now? Mr. 

Morison, she still has a glimmer of hope for you and doesn’t want to hurt you.
