Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 225

Chapter 225

Zoe and Jordan weren’t the only ones who were stunned. Even the staff members

were scared by the air Alaric was emanating. It felt like a storm was approaching.

He was the most powerful person in the course right now, and no one wished to get

on his bad side, so none of them tried to mediate things.

Unlike everyone else, Victoria was calm. She was unaffected by Alaric’s displeasure,

and she even frowned. “You got the wrong person. I’m with Mr. Floyd, not you.” That

was a refusal.

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock as they were surprised she would say that to

Alaric. They were flabbergasted that she would cross him in public.

Alaric narrowed his eyes, staring at her. Then, he kicked the horse’s side and

charged straight at her.

Zoe covered her mouth, screaming in shock. Everyone else almost shouted when

they saw what was happening. He’s not planning to crash right into her, is he?

Even Jordan was shocked. Thinking that Alaric wanted to attack Victoria, he shouted, “Alaric!” Right then, he tried to pull Victoria over, but someone had beaten

him to it.

Alaric had pulled Victoria onto his horse, much to her shock, and she gasped. In all

honesty, she wasn’t scared at all when he was charging at her. Even though it’d been

five years since she met him, she knew him all too well. He would never ram into her

for real, so she knew that was just a feint.

That was why she stood her ground, but she never thought he would pull her onto

the horse.

“Let’s go.” Alaric rode ahead, and the howls of wind shocked Victoria into holding

tightly onto him, her hair billowing in the wind. The man smiled and pulled her in

front of him before stopping the horse.

She glared at him. “What are you doing?” Still, she held him tightly as she looked

down below. The horse was big and strong. If I fall from up here… She instinctively

held him tighter, oblivious to his smile.

Even though she was angry at him, she held onto him tightly, afraid of falling. The

sight of this doused Alaric’s anger, and he stared at her with a faint smile. “You were

going to ride with someone else? They might fling you into the air if they’re not

careful.”

“Huh? The fact he asked me means he’s confident in his horse-riding skill, is he

not?”

“Is that so?” Alaric raised his head proudly. “Then, why don’t you ask him if his ribs

are all healed? He broke his ribs from a ride last time.”

“Hey!” an angry Jordan shouted. “I heard that!”

Right then, he saw Victoria giving him a doubtful look. Oh, I should not have said

that. “Dammit!” he cursed. However, he quickly added, “Wait, why did you take my

woman? Do you know her?” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Alaric shot him a look. “Your woman?”

The icy fury in those eyes made Jordan shiver, but the sight of Victoria fueled his

courage, and he said, “I brought her here, so give her back to me.”

Alaric sneered and took Victoria away.

The moment his horse started to move, Victoria held him tighter. “Hey, put me

down! Put me down!”

Everyone watched as he took her to the starting line. She wouldn’t stop yelling at

him, but he wouldn’t even budge, nor did he get mad at her for yelling at him. Jordan

cursed again. Guess I’m not getting her back.

He turned around, looking at the dumbfounded Zoe. “Wanna ride with me?”

She snapped out of it and nodded dumbly as she followed him. When she came to

his horse, she asked, “Do they know each other?”

“Duh. Why else would he take her? That man wouldn’t even let any woman near

him.” Jordan was in a foul mood since Alaric had exposed him in public.

Zoe was a little miffed, and she poked her fingers together in slight grievance. Just

then, Jordan looked at her, and she looked back at him. Silence ensued.

A few moments later, he urged, “What are you waiting for? Get up. You’re not

expecting me to scoop you up like he did, right?”

Zoe was left speechless upon hearing that. Still, she got up on the horse’s back.

despite feeling a bit annoyed. Once she settled in, Jordan got up as well. Then, he

heard her asking, “Um, is it true you fell and broke your ribs?”

Goddammit, I am not living that down, am I?

They came to the starting line. Seeing Victoria on Alaric’s horse angered Jordan.

She should’ve been with me, not him! “The race is nothing without a bit of a side bet,

don’t you think?”

Chapter 225 Give Her Back

Ever since Alaric got Victoria, he seemed a little lackadaisical. The race didn’t matter

as long as he had Victoria with him. Thus, he didn’t even look at Jordan when he

proposed a bet.

Victoria tried to explain, “Mr. Floyd, about the ne-”

Alaric looked at her and coldly said, “What’s the bet?”

He stopped her from talking to Jordan.

Jordan knew what Alaric was thinking, and he sneered. “If I win, we’ll race another

round.” He pointed at Victoria. “But you will have to give her back to me.”

She thought, What? Why am I the prize?

Alaric sneered. “You think you can win?”

Jordan provoked, “Just tell me yes or no. Are you up for the challenge?” In most

cases, he wouldn’t provoke Alaric that way, but the latter had taken it too far. Alaric

had embarrassed him, and if he couldn’t salvage the matter, everyone would laugh

at him.

Alaric took the bait, and he looked at Jordan. “Are you sure about this?”

“Yes”

“Fine” Alaric said languidly, “But I want to change the terme If I win, you’re maver

Jordan couldn’t believe what he was hearing After a momentary pause, he shouted,
