Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

“Can you teach me your moves? I want to learn from a pro.” The lady wanted to date 

Alaric, so she showed no hostility toward Victoria, whom she thought was Jordan’s 

girlfriend. Quickly, she took her into the locker room. 

the 

When the staff members caught news of the race, they quickly prepared the course, 

and the ladies were treated like VIPs. The moment they entered the locker room, 

staff members handed them their riding clothing. 

One of them presented the attire to Victoria and praised, “You have a perfect body, 

miss. It’ll be easy to pick your clothes.” After saying that, they passed the attire into 

her hands. 

Dammit, I want to run so badly. But if I do that, Mr. Floyd’s going to be embarrassed. 

Forget about having him invest; we’d be lucky he’s not attacking us. 

She came into the dressing room, feeling rather down. She wondered if today was 

not her day after all. Why did I not check my horoscope for the day before heading out? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have walked into this situation. She had half a mind to 

call Henry to ask him if they really needed the investment, but she could already 

guess how he would answer. 

Victoria looked at her rider outfit, deep in thought. A while later, her desire to run a 

company eventually took over. More importantly, she had stopped all contact with 

Alaric and intended to return all the assets he gave her. If things went well, he’d 

have received everything by now. We’re even now. And if I am to run a business in 

this country, I’ll eventually run into him, like it or not. I can’t run away every time. It’s 

not possible, and it will only make me look bad. The only choice I have is to charge 

ahead. This is an opportunity. 

Once her head was clear, she took a deep breath and took off her coat before 

placing it on a rack. When she was about to take off her sweater, someone knocked 

on the door. “Who’s that?” 

Victoria thought it was the girl who came in with her. She’s fast. She then went to open the door. However, before she could register what was happening, a silhouette slipped inside. Then, the door was closed and locked. When she finally realized who it was, her eyes went wide. Shortly afterward, she snapped out of her stupor and 

tried to reach for the door. 

Though, she couldn’t make it. Alaric held her wrist and pulled it over her head, 

pinning her against the cold, solid door. 

Victoria struggled. “Let me go.” 

He looked at her coolly. A while later, her hair clip fell. Her hair cascaded down her 

shoulder, covering her clothes and giving off a faint sweet scent of shampoo. Still, 

Alaric studied her coldly. It had been five years since they last met, and she was a lot 

more gorgeous than before. The childlike innocence was gone, but she still radiated 

the air of purity despite having long hair, though there was a hint of adult seduction 

within her. 

Purity and allure were two opposite qualities, yet they coexisted within her. 

However, the only thing was that this woman was glaring at him with fury. 

“I said, let me go!”  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Her words had been ignored yet again. Alaric didn’t let her go; instead, he closed in 

on her until there was not even a millimeter distance between them. Then, he 

mocked, “So Bane let you play around with other men, huh? Guess he doesn’t care 

about you.” 

Victoria frowned at that. “None of your business.” She then tried to struggle again. 

Their bodies were already touching one another, and their clothes were not that 

thick, either. Thus, the moment she started struggling, he could feel her body 

rubbing against his, and the look on his face changed. He then held her wrist tighter. 

Noticing what was happening, Victoria froze and stopped moving altogether. There 

was a bit of tension in the air. A moment later, she blushed as she glared at him and 

spoke through gritted teeth, “You’re so shameless!” 

Alaric didn’t look too happy either; he was black as thunder. He retorted in a hoarse 

voice, “None of this would have happened if you just stayed still.” 

Even though their body had been sticking to each other since earlier, he didn’t feel 

anything since they didn’t move, not to mention he was furious at her. However, now 

that she was rubbing against him…. 

Alaric took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He couldn’t believe his body would 

still react so strongly to her after all these years. 

Victoria snapped, “So what if I was moving? I wouldn’t have done so if you hadn’t 

held me down. And the point about being human is to control your mind, or you’re 

no better than a horndog.” 

He narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “What did you say?!” 

“I stand by what I said. You did this, so you deserve it!” 

He took another deep breath and said nothing, but Victoria wouldn’t let him off that 

easily. She said, “Now, piss off.” 

Alaric refused to move, so she angrily shoved him, and a grunt escaped his lips. 

Just then, she felt something down there change, and her face fell. “How low can 

you go?” 

Her angry yet adorable voice made him freeze, and he looked at her face, a smile 

curling his lips. “Keep moving, and I’ll show you how low I can go.” 

Victoria would always get embarrassed easily when it came to this, and she was 

shocked by what he said. A while later, she cursed, “How shameless!” 

Alaric smirked. “Thanks for the compliment.” A while later, he put some distance 

between them and turned around. He wasn’t sure he could hold himself back if he 

remained to stay close to her. 

The moment he turned around, Victoria reached for the door and was about to 

leave. However, someone knocked on it before she could even unlock the door. It 

was the girl who had come in with her earlier. “Hey, are you done changing?” 

Victoria froze for a moment. Ah, why does she have to appear now? I don’t want anyone to see me with him. She stood still and answered calmly, “Not yet. Have you 

done changing? In that case–ah!”
