Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 462

As soon as Victoria left, Bane’s gentle demeanor disappeared and it was replaced by a

cold gaze that was directed at the group of people.

“In the future, don’t serve anything except for this dessert.”

The servants nodded repeatedly as they were frightened by his demeanor. They didn’t

dare to argue and simply acknowledged his words.

After he left, they couldn’t help but discuss the situation.

“Isn’t Miss Selwyn too difficult to please? We went to great lengths to prepare this

delicious spread of food, but she didn’t like any of it. Furthermore, Mr. Morison says we

can’t serve these dishes again. What are we going to do in the future? You know, there

were dozens of different dishes on the table today. If we can’t serve those, what else

can we serve?”

“That’s right. How did Mr. Morison bring back such a difficult woman to serve all of a

sudden?”

Just thinking about the future days ahead made them anxious.

After returning to her room, Victoria went to the balcony and sat down.

Her room was connected to the balcony, which was wide open. She sat there directly

while gazing at the scenery outside.

Even though she had arrived here, her heart was still not at peace. She constantly felt

like she had forgotten something important, and she desperately tried to remember, but

couldn’t recall anything.

The more she thought, the more her head hurt.

She ended up leaning on the table while letting out a frustrated sigh. Whom could she

ask for help?

That man named Bane seemed genuinely kind to her and considerate in every way, as if

he was really her fiancé. However, Victoria was acutely aware that no matter how she

looked at him, she didn’t feel that heart–stirring sensation.

She later seriously speculated about what would happen if an uninterested man were

to pursue her diligently. Would she agree?

The answer was no.

So, she didn’t believe what Bane said about them being engaged.

Forget about being engaged, they probably weren’t even in a relationship.

However, now that she had lost all her memories and couldn’t remember anything,

there was no one else around except him. She could only stay here temporarily, and as

for what would happen next, she would have to figure it out.

Just as she was lost in thought, she heard a faint sound of footsteps behind her.

She paused for a moment. Although she heard it, she didn’t get up and pretended not

to have heard anything.

After a while, Bane walked over and sat down beside her.

“Why are you alone here? Are you still feeling unwell?”

She leaned back in her chair and nodded.

Suddenly recalling something, she took the initiative to ask him, “By the way, you

mentioned buying a phone for me. Did you get it?”

“Yes.”

Bane nodded and took it out directly from his pocket. Then, he handed it to her.

As Victoria reached out to take it, she heard him say, “The contents of your previous

phone are most likely irrecoverable, and it will take time to reissue your identification.

documents. So, I temporarily changed your SIM card to a different one.”

She thanked him and then asked, “By the way, could you give me my father’s contact

information?”

He hesitated briefly and didn’t immediately answer her.

Just then, she looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. If you want, you can contact him.” He quickly gave her father’s contact

information to her.

However, his words confused Victoria, and she pursed her red lips while staring at him

curiously.

“Why would you say that? Did something happen between my father and me?”

Upon hearing this, Bane simply smiled faintly and said, “Silly girl. What kind of conflicts

can there be between a father and daughter? Besides, no matter what conflicts arise.

between family members, they’re not real conflicts.”

He didn’t explicitly confirm or deny anything, and his words were skillfully crafted. He

left things for Victoria to interpret freely.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Victoria, who had lost all her memories, furrowed All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

her brows and remained silent.

She saved the number in her new phone and then asked, “Besides my father, do we

have any mutual friends? Are there any close friends or best friends I have a good

relationship with?”

Bane pursed his lips and looked indifferent.

“Yes.”

“Who?”

“She’s not here. Don’t you remember?” After asking, Bane seemed to recall something.

“Right. You did forget. I completely forgot about your amnesia just now.”

Victoria was speechless.

She felt a hint of dark humor in the situation.

She curled her lips and pretended to go along while forcing a smile.

“What about the contact information? Can you give me one?”

“Sure. Once your previous phone’s content is restored, I’ll give it to you.”

Since he said so, Victoria didn’t doubt it and nodded in agreement.

“Okay.”

Chapter 462 Contact Information

After Bane left, she played with the phone herself and looked at the few contacts she

had.

Apart from her father’s contact information, which she had just entered, the contact list

only had one entry–Bane Morison.

She considered the possibility that her temper was bad, so she didn’t have any friends.

However, even with a bad temper, it wasn’t normal for her to have no friends at all.

Yet, in her contact list, there was only Bane. She even had to obtain the contact

information of her relatives from him.

Everything about this felt abnormal.

was too abnormal. Either there was something wrong with her, or there was

something wrong with him.

With these thoughts in mind, she pressed the recently added contact and made the

call.

Regardless of whether Bane intentionally tried to dissuade her from calling or if she had

misunderstood something, she had to make this call.

She had to try and see if he had been lying to her.

Beep, beep…

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Victoria was starting to wonder if the number he gave her was wrong when someone

finally picked up on the other end.

“Hello?”

A middle–aged woman’s gentle voice sounded from the other side. She spoke in a warm

tone.

For some reason, as soon as Victoria heard this voice, she instinctively felt that this

woman was probably her father’s new wife.

If that were the case, this person must know her.

However, now that she had lost her memory, she didn’t recognize this woman, so she

hesitated for a moment before calling her “Madam.”

The person on the other end paused for a moment and then laughed.

“It’s you, Victoria. Why did you change your phone number? And what’s with the distant

tone?”

The person’s tone had swiftly transformed from polite to genuinely affectionate.

It seemed that Victoria had a good relationship with this stepmother.

Victoria forced a laugh and explained, “I lost my previous phone, so I got a new

number.”

“You lost your phone? Oh my. What happened, Victoria?”

Victoria wanted to tell her stepmother about her amnesia, but considering her good

relationship with this stepmother, would it make her father worried if she revealed it?

As Victoria remained silent, the person on the other end asked again, “Did you come

across some troubles? If there’s anything, remember to come home and tell us. Ever

since you returned to the country, you’ve rarely been in contact with us. If anything

happens, you should give us a call.”
