Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510 To Recover Her Memories

Still, after all she and he had gone through, it was normal for him to get mad.

“Don’t ask any more questions. You’ve lost your memories now, so just rest up.”

“But…” Victoria was still hesitant.

“You think I can’t handle this?”

“That’s not what I meant.” Victoria looked at him. She was going to say something, but the look in his eyes made her swallow her words. Fine. I might have lost my memories, but I have faith in my decisions. I chose him, so he can handle matters. Bane went down the wrong path, and he must rectify his choice.

She said nothing more and leaned backward. She was going to lean into the seat, but Alaric extended his arm and pulled her into his embrace. She rested her head against his chest.

“Get some rest.” His presence soothed her and calmed her heart, so Victoria didn’t object to being hugged. In fact, she wrapped her arms around his waist and rested in his embrace.

Alaric paused for a few moments and pulled her tighter. Only then could he feel that she was real.

The path was smooth at first, but the further along they went, the bumpier and more meandering the path became. There was even a mountain near the path. There were no surveillance cameras around to monitor their safety, not to mention there was a risk of a landslide.

The driver was experienced enough to know that they should leave this stretch of the path at once, and he sped up.

Once away from that stretch of road, Victoria frowned. “That stretch of road was scary.”

Alaric held her in silence, calming his fire down. She had rattled around in his arms back at that bumpy stretch of road. It was fine at first, since he had to keep her safe, and that stripped him of any chance to think of anything else. However, the more she rattled, the worse the flame of desire burned within Alaric. Once he was done calming down, he said hoa rsely, “I’m telling someone to fix that path.”

Road repairs aren’t cheap, Victoria thought. But he didn’t seem too concerned about it, so I guess he’s rich. Oh, so that means the father of my children is super rich. Victoria was happy about that, and she hugged Alaric tighter.

The flames were lit once more. Alaric patted Victoria’s back, twirling her hair around. Eventually, she fell asleep in his arms. When he noticed that her hands had slipped from his waist because she fell asleep, he held them and tucked them into his coat, warming her up as he held her in his embrace.

The car was warm and peaceful. It was like they had returned to a time when they were more loving. Alaric was bothered by her amnesia at first, but after all the shows of affection, he thought it was probably a good thing for her. If she was the Victoria of old, she would never be so close to him.

Even if they were to patch things up and fall in love again, the barrier they had between them would be hard to tear down. He would be spending a lot more time just to patch things up again. However, now she was approaching and cozying up to him just because her heart told her to.

Eventually, the car came to a stop, but the driver didn’t turn around. Instead, he politely said, “Sir,

we’re here.”

Alaric looked outside, then he turned to the sleeping Victoria. Quietly, he said, “Let her sleep. Stop the car by the roadside.”
