Departure with a Belly BY Victoria Selwyn CHAPTER 4 Departure with a Belly BY Victoria Selwyn CHAPTER 4 Victoria helplessly objected, “I’m not completely drenched despite the rain. Moreover, I’m fine.” She then walked over to Alaric’s desk and placed the report for yesterday on it. “This is yesterday’s summary. I’ve sorted it up. Now, I have work to do, so I’ll leave the two of you to your reunion.” She glanced at Claudia, who immediately smiled at her. When she left, Alaric was frowning hard. “Alaric?” He only snapped out of his thoughts when Claudia called out to him. His reaction confused her, but she sounded kind and caring when saying, “Victoria doesn’t look so well. She might be your secretary now, but she used to be the precious daughter of the Selwyns before they went bankrupt. You cannot be too hard on her.”     Too hard on her? Alaric internally laughed. Who could be hard on that   woman? However, he did not say any of that; instead, responding with a grunt of acknowledgment. Meanwhile, Victoria shuffled back to her office with heavy feet and a heavy head. As soon as she sat down, she could not help but slump over her desk. Suddenly, her head was spinning hard. She lost track of time until she finally heard Yasmin’s voice. “Victoria, why don’t you go home and rest?” At that moment, Victoria felt so lethargic and sick that her only response was, “Yasmin, let me sleep for a while.” Following that, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Departure with a Belly BY Victoria Selwyn CHAPTER 3 Departure with a Belly BY Victoria Selwyn CHAPTER 3 When Victoria woke up the following morning, she discovered she had caught a cold. So, she reached into her drawer for some fever medicine and poured a glass of warm water.   The instant she popped the pill into her mouth, a realization dawned on her, causing her eyes to widen and her face to pale. So, she swiftly dashed into the bathroom to spit it out. Then, she leaned over the sink, repeatedly spitting and rinsing her mouth to get every last remnant of the dissolved pill out of her mouth. “What happens? Why did you rush in here? Are you sick?” When Alaric’s distinct voice rang out from the doorway, Victoria looked up, startled. Meanwhile, he had a frown on his face as he stared at her.   Once she caught his gaze, she quickly averted it, and after a moment of silence, she replied, “It’s nothing. I merely took the wrong pill.” She then wiped away the drops of water on her lips and exited the bathroom.   However, Alaric watched Victoria walk out with a contemplative look. She’s been acting strangely since she returned home yesterday. After breakfast, the couple left the house together. Seeing her face ashen, he asked, “Do you want to ride in my car with me?” After a walk in the rain the day before, Victoria woke up that morning feeling a little under the weather. However, before she could nod, his phone rang. Hence, Alaric glanced down at it to see that it was a call from Claudia. He wanted to go back inside to answer the phone, but when he raised his   […]

Departure with a Belly BY Victoria Selwyn CHAPTER 2 Departure with a Belly BY Victoria Selwyn CHAPTER 2 Alaric shoved Victoria into the bathroom and left. She kept her head down, waiting until he stepped out of the room before slowly looking up and wiping away the tears on her cheeks. Moments later. She locked the bathroom door and pulled out the hospital’s report from her pocket. After being soaked in the rain, the entire report was illegible with every word too blurred out to read. She had planned on surprising him with it, but now it seemed like it was completely useless. She had been with him for two years. She knew for sure that he was the   kind of person who never let his phone leave his side.   He was also not the kind of man who would intentionally summon her just to tell her to go home. The only possibility was that someone took his phone to message her so that she would be laughed at. Perhaps there was a crowd of people laughing at her while she was foolishly waiting outside the country club with the umbrella. She stared down at the illegible report for long moments before letting out a self–deprecating chuckle and slowly tearing it apart. 30 minutes later. Victoria calmly walked out of the bathroom. Alaric was sitting on the couch. His long legs were placed firmly against   Chapter Let’s Get Divorced the floor as he focused on the laptop in front of him. He seemed to be working.   When he saw her, he pointed at the cup of tea beside him. “Drink that.” “Okay.” She walked over and picked up the cup of tea. She did not drink it immediately. Instead, she seemed to be preoccupied with some thought before calling out to him. “Alaric.” “What is it?” His voice was cold as he remained focused on the screen […]
