Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 108

At that thought, Victoria snorted and looked at him coldly. “Go find your

darling Claudia to fulfill your physical needs.”

Alaric’s eyes darkened as he gritted his teeth. “I only want you and no one

else.”

After speaking, he leaned forwards to seek her lips again but instead

received a slap.

“Go! Go and find your darling Claudia. Don’t touch me. Just go!” Victoria

was shaking with anger since he still wanted to continue after being

slapped.

However, Alaric caught her wrist and raised his voice as he asked, “You’re

angry now? Your recent role as an obedient wife was played so well. Why

aren’t you continuing with that?”

She knew he wanted to use her for his physical needs, which was why she

became utterly irrational. She felt more reluctant to answer him and

merely struggled harder.

Seeing Victoria act like this made Alaric feel angry yet sympathetic, but

remembering what Norwood and his grandmother had said made him

tighten his grip on her wrist slightly. “You said that of your own volition

back then, so why are you getting angry? Snowball, what are you angry at?”

His eyes were fixed on her as he asked the question like he wanted to make

sure of something. “Are you angry that I said being with you was merely to

fulfill my physical desires, or are you angry that I met up with Claudia?”

Victoria, who had been struggling, suddenly understood after hearing what

Alaric said. If she hadn’t known why he had suddenly behaved like this,

now she did. He wanted to test her.

“What do you really want to say?” She looked at his handsome face and

laughed lightly. She had to admit that his looks fit her taste: even now she

still thought him attractive, She had fancied him intensely back then but

that didn’t mean she would give him everything without limitations.

His lips moved briefly but he did not speak. However, it was clear what he

wanted to say. They had been childhood sweethearts for so long, so they

knew each other really well and took each other seriously. However, it was

just because of the latter that some questions couldn’t be asked, such as

when it came to liking and concern for someone.

Once such questions were asked and a certain boundary was crossed, their

relationship would never be the same. It was one thing for it to become less

pure but entirely another if it deteriorated. What was more awkward than

one person treating the other as a friend but the other fancying the other?

They might not be able to continue being friends. That was why Alaric had

to ask that question in such a restrained, controlled tone.

However, Victoria wasn’t like him and knew what he wanted to ask based

on her knowledge of him. She smiled and replied coldly, “Do you think I

have feelings for you?”

His chest felt tight since he did not expect her to mention it so directly. “You

“Don’t worry.” She looked at him and continued mildly, “I don’t fancy you at

all.”

When Alaric did not respond, she continued, “I did say it was for our

physical needs, but that was based on the condition where you don’t go

about dabbling in relationships. It’s different now, though. You already

have Claudia, so why do I need to go to you to deal with my needs? Do I

seem so easy to you?”

Her words were light, but they stabbed him right in the heart. His gaze had

changed as he stared at her and snarled, “Whom are you going to seek out,

then? Noel or Bane?”

She didn’t know what to say.

“Bane sent you home the night of the farewell party, right?”

Victoria frowned with surprise. How does he know about that? She had

assumed Alaric’s attention was entirely focused on Claudia.

“You went out with him yesterday too.”

Victoria finally felt suspicious.

“Alaric, did you follow me?” Alarm bells sounded inside her head. She had

recently gone to the hospital and while she had gone with Summer, he

couldn’t find anything even if he really wanted to do so.

“Do I need to?” Alaric threw the question back at Victoria.

Does he not? Does this mean that he didn’t get someone to shadow me?

“How did you know?” It wasn’t concerning that he knew about it when

Claudia got hurt since he might have seen it when Bane escorted Victoria to

the entrance of the villa. However, Victoria hadn’t even expected to see

Bane when she went out for a meal yesterday, so how did Alaric know about

that? She had even taken a cab back.

“Are you nervous?” Alaric snorted. “Snowball, have you heard of the adage

‘what is done by night appears by day’?”

Victoria didn’t know what to say in response.

”

As he thought of something, his eyes moved down to regard her sleepwear.

“And your recent style. Are you trying to please them?”

She had no words. “What are you waffling on about? Can’t I change my style

since winter has arrived?”

While speechless, she thought the man was being ridiculous. He hadn’t

suspected that her change in style was due to the baby. Instead, he thought

she was trying to pander to Noel or Bane. Even after knowing Alaric for so

long, Victoria felt that she didn’t really know him since he took everything

she had been worried about differently.

Chapter 108 I Don’t Fancy You At All

He hadn’t been overly concerned about the baby and didn’t even ask about

it, which didn’t make sense. What if…

As Victoria pondered this, Alaric’s cool breath came closer and interrupted

her thoughts. She saw his furious face getting closer when she gathered her

thoughts.

“Of course, you can, but don’t you think the timing is too coincidental?

Besides, is Bane whom you fancy? He hugged you that night.”

At the mention of that, Victoria’s head started to hurt.

“Can we not talk about that right now? I don’t fancy anyone, all right?” She

couldn’t help yawning. “I’m tired, so why don’t we sleep first? We can talk

tomorrow if there’s anything.”

Her main focus was taking Griselda for a checkup the following day, so she

didn’t want to worry about anything else.

Alaric froze upon hearing that, probably not expecting her to be so

unconcerned about such a serious matter and even wanting to go to bed.

How can she fall asleep?

While he remained quiet, she added, “If you aren’t tired, then I shall sleep

first.”

Victoria drew her hand back and pulled back the blanket before carefully

lying down, only becoming reassured when she saw that Alaric was still

standing there woodenly but not approaching her.

The two of them remained silently in the room. Victoria had thought he Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

would leave if she ignored him, but he stood there staring at her for some

reason. She bit her lip. Is he planning on standing there for the rest of the

night? Is he crazy? Never mind. I’m now pregnant and need enough rest so

as not to become as crazy as he is.

After making up her mind, Victoria turned her back to him and quickly fell

asleep.
