Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452 

When Victoria entered the car, she noticed that the passenger seat was empty, so she 

decided to sit there without further ado. Initially, it was supposed to be Ethan’s seat. So, 

when the driver saw her sitting there, he glanced at Ethan. 

“Miss Selwyn, it’s not safe to sit in the front seat. How about-” 

“Do I not have the right to choose my own seat?” she interrupted. 

“Let her sit there as long as she’s happy.” A voice came through the earpiece. It was 

Bane. Ethan remained silent, and everyone entered the car one by one. 

Since Victoria had previously worn blindfold glasses, no precautions were taken inside 

the car. She could see the street view clearly from the car and even read license plates. 

It didn’t take her long to figure out their destination. So, she leisurely looked out the 

window, observing the scenery and buildings. The journey lasted about an hour, and 

they finally arrived at their destination. 

She followed Ethan as they exited the car, and the first thing she asked after getting out 

was, “Where is Alaric?” 

Ethan didn’t respond. Instead, a person who had approached from the house entrance 

took his place. After a brief conversation with that person, Ethan left, and he glanced at 

her before departing. Her heart sank at the sight of him leaving. Was his only task to

escort her here and then leave? 

As expected, Ethan got back in the car and quickly drove away. Once he disappeared 

from her sight, the person who replaced him approached Victoria. His gaze fixed on her 

like that of a venomous snake. 

“Hello, Miss Selwyn. Please follow me,” he said. 

For some reason, she felt as if she had become the target of a venomous snake the moment she met his gaze. Instinctively, she furrowed her brows but had no choice but to follow him. She walked behind him as he led her inside. He brought her to a room, 

and as she stood by the doorway and took a quick glance inside, she asked, “Where is 

Alaric? Where is Bane?” 

“We don’t know, but Mr. Morison has instructed that this will be your room from now 

on.” 

She was rendered speechless upon hearing that, so she stared at him. “What do you 

mean? I didn’t come here to stay. You promised that I could come and see-” 

However, before she could finish her sentence, a high–pitched voice echoed from 

downstairs. 

“What’s with the fuss?” Victoria’s gaze followed the voice and saw a girl in a pink dress 

walking toward them. She had curly hair and vibrant nail polish, exuding the impression

of a beautiful young girl. 

As soon as the girl spotted Victoria, she narrowed her eyes and asked, “Are you the 

woman Bane loves but can’t have?” 

Victoria was taken aback by her words. 

The girl scanned Victoria from head to toe, and a flicker of astonishment crossed her 

eyes but was quickly replaced by annoyance. She exclaimed, “What’s this? I thought 

you would be far prettier. It turns out, you’re just average.” 

Victoria was at a loss for words, and her eyebrows furrowed in response. Who was this 

random girl? She hadn’t come here to engage with her. So, she turned to look at the 

person who was interacting with Ethan. 

“I want to see Bane,” she demanded. She had rushed over here overnight just to see 

Alaric. 

Instead, the girl turned and asked, “What’s going on, Leon?” 

Leon replied, “Ms. Rainee, Mr. Morison wanted her to stay in her own room.” 

“Oh, then why is she still here? Let her go into the room,” the girl retorted. 

“Well, this young lady might have other demands and might not be willing-” 

cefully 

Before Leon could finish his sentence, the girl suddenly reached out and pushed Victoria into the room, quickly closing the door. Although Leon disliked Victoria for influencing Bane, he didn’t dare to touch her. Yet, he didn’t expect Rainee to 

suddenly push her into the room and shut the door. 

“Ms. Rainee…” 

Rainee tilted her chin and looked at him. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say she didn’t want 

to go in? So, I used the most straightforward method to make her go in. Bane doesn’t 

want her wandering around, right? So, hurry up and lock the door.” 

After a brief moment of confusion, he smiled. “You’re right, Ms. Rainee. I’ll lock the door 

right away.” 

They quickly came to an agreement and locked the door before leaving. As they 

departed, their footsteps were light and hurried, and they naturally didn’t notice the 

person inside the room falling after being pushed. 

Victoria never expected that the girl, who already appeared domineering, would 

suddenly make a move on her and push her inside. Her head hit the ground hard, 

causing sharp pain and making her see stars. She tried to prop herself up with her hand 

and sit–up, but her vision became dizzy, and she felt too weak to support herself. 

She reached back to touch the back of her head and felt it was wet. However, before 

she could look at her wet palm, she lost consciousness once again. 

Chapter 452 A Push 

Leon followed Rainee as they walked down the stairs. “Ms. Rainee, what you did might 

upset Mr. Morison,” he said. 

“What’s there to be upset about? Doesn’t he want to confine that woman? I was just 

helping him out since she wouldn’t listen. Bane should be grateful to me,” she replied. 

“But… what if she gets hurt because you pushed her?” 

“Come on, it was just a slight push. She’s an adult, not a child. Do you think she’s made 

of sand that she gets injured from a mere push? Besides, she wants to compete with 

me for Bane. What’s wrong with teaching her a lesson? Don’t worry, it’s nothing.” She 

dismissed any guilt about pushing Victoria. 

“A push might not be a big deal, but have you considered that she might complain to
