Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459 

Bane’s face remained impassive as he looked at Victoria in front of him and earnestly 

said those words. 

“Fiancé?” 

Was he really her fiancé? She had considered him a good friend, but she had never 

imagined that they had such an intimate relationship. 

Why did it feel strange? 

She lowered her eyes, pursed her red lips, and pondered. If he really was her fiancé, why 

did she feel averse to his touch? 

It didn’t seem to make much sense. 

“You don’t believe me, do you?” 

Upon hearing this, Victoria raised her head and met Bane’s gaze, but she did not 

mention whether she believed him or not. 

“Victoria, before you lost your memory, we had a fight and things were awkward 

between us. You didn’t want to talk to me back then, but surely, you wouldn’t still be 

mad at me even after losing your memory, right?”

“A fight?” Victoria questioned. 

So, her physical resistance was because they had a fight? 

“Yes. Stop sulking now. Your current condition requires rest, and I’ll take care of you 

from now on, all right?” 

For some reason, she felt that something was off. 

She squinted her eyes and stared at him skeptically. “You say you’re my fiancé. Is that 

true?” 

After saying that, she continued to gaze at Bane’s face while trying to discern his 

reaction. Unfortunately, his expression appeared normal and he did not look like 

someone telling a lie. 

“What’s the matter? You don’t even want to acknowledge your fiancé after a fight?” he 

asked when she remained silent as if seriously contemplating the question. 

She stayed quiet and he patiently waited. 

After a while, Victoria shook her head and said, “No. You’re not my fiancé.” 

Bane was taken aback by her words. She had lost her memory, so how did she know he 

wasn’t her fiancé?

Just as he hesitated on how to ask her about it, she looked at him earnestly and said, 

“You’re simply not my type.” 

The seemingly casual remark uttered casually from her mouth struck deep into his 

heart. 

Even if she had lost her memory, she still knew exactly what to say to hurt him. 

Moreover, what she said now cut even deeper. 

It was because she didn’t remember anyone and she had no grudges against him. It 

boiled down to a simple matter of personal preference. 

“You have no memory now, so how do you know I’m not your type?” 

“I can tell just by looking at you,” she replied sincerely. “When I look at you, I don’t feel 

any sparks. However, if we were engaged, shouldn’t there be some level of liking 

between us?” 

After hearing her words, Bane fell silent for a long time before answering, “Not all 

engaged couples are together because they like each other.” 

“What?” Victoria couldn’t quite catch his words because he spoke softly. 

“It’s nothing.” He tugged at his lips. “What I mean is, you’re still the same as before.”

“The same as before? How was I before?” 

“When I first met you, you didn’t like me. It took a lot of effort on my part to win you 

over.” 

As he spoke along those lines, she began to feel a bit confused. Could he really be her 

fiancé? 

“Victoria, just because you lost your memory and forgot about me doesn’t mean that you have to deny our relationship. We haven’t broken up, and that’s not fair to me.” 

She furrowed her brow and pondered. If what he said was true, it did seem unfair to 

him. 

“Mmm.” 

She only made a sound of acknowledgment, and Bane leaned closer to her. “Don’t treat 

me like this, Victoria.” 

She lightly furrowed her brows. “I…” 

Although she knew that treating him this way seemed unfair to him, she just couldn’t 

bring herself to let him get close to her. 

So, when he leaned closer, she instinctively moved to the side.

His movement halted when he was almost near her, and he let out a helpless sigh. 

“Fine. I understand that you’ve lost your memory now and have doubts about me. I can give you time.” Bane spoke softly. “Until you develop feelings for me, I won’t touch you. 

That being said, you must not oppose my identity anymore, okay?” 

He seemed to be negotiating with her, and Victoria indeed felt opposed to it. She didn’t 

feel like agreeing. 

However, she couldn’t remember why specifically, as she couldn’t recall anything at all. 

“Let’s eat first when the food arrives, all right?” 

Seeing his amenable attitude, she stopped resisting and nodded. “Alright.” Although 

she didn’t appear very hungry. 

The most important thing was that even if she resisted, she seemed to have nowhere 

else to go now. Ideally, having family by her side would be best. 

With that in mind, Victoria asked, “By the way, where’s my phone?” 

Bane’s expression changed slightly when he heard her question. He didn’t expect her to 

be so clever and ask about her phone at this moment. 

“Your phone went missing when you had an accident and were sent to the hospital. I 

Chapter 459 Nauseous couldn’t find it.” 

“Huh?” 

“At that time, I was only focused on sending you to the hospital, so I don’t know where 

your phone is. How about… I buy you a new one?” 

If her phone was missing, it would likely have been picked up by someone. There was 

no other way around it but to buy a new one. She could only nod and agree. 

“Can you give me my parents‘ contact information?” 

“Why?” He raised an eyebrow at her. “Are you planning to inform Mr. Selwyn about the 

accident?” 

“Mr. Selwyn?” 

“Yes. You grew up with Mr. Selwyn since childhood.”
