Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 209

Fiona had memorized the number, but when Alaric left after mentioning that it was

his assistant’s number, it made her anxious. Thus, she chased after him on impulse.

She followed Alaric to the elevator and called out to him, “Wait, the reason I’m

asking for your contact information is not to ask for a reward. I just want to be

friends with you. Can you please give me your contact information?”

Hearing that, Alaric took big steps forward before stopping at the elevator door and

standing there expressionlessly.

Seeing that, Fiona bit her lower lip and looked at him nervously. “Please, please, I

really want your contact information. I promise I won’t be constantly bothering you.”

He glanced at her coldly as he raised his hand to button up the top button of his

suit. He replied coldly, “Miss, if you have any ulterior motives toward me, I suggest

you put that thought away, or else I can’t guarantee what might happen later.”

Ding.

The elevator arrived just on time, and Alaric entered expressionlessly. Fiona’s face

turned pale, but after she watched him enter the elevator, she couldn’t help but

slowly follow him in.

Only the two of them were in the elevator, and Fiona could almost feel the chilling

aura that Alaric emanated as soon as she entered. Though she liked him a lot, she

had never been rejected by anyone so harshly before. His cold gaze and tone made

her feel undesired, which instantly shattered her confidence. She almost didn’t dare

to speak to him again, so she numbly stood there as she waited for the elevator to

descend. Every minute and second felt like an eternity.

Finally, the elevator reached the first floor, and Fiona followed behind him as they

exited. When Alaric approached the elevator door, he paused his steps and said.

coldly, “I hope you won’t follow me anymore.”

Fiona, who was still numb from what happened earlier, bit her lip without looking up

or responding. Suddenly, the phone in her hand started ringing, and Alaric started.

walking away.

She glanced at the caller ID and answered the call weakly, “Victoria…”

Victoria, who heard Fiona’s voice, heaved a sigh of relief. “Fiona, you’re finally

answering my call.”

“I’m sorry…” Fiona bit her lip. She had felt fine just a moment ago, but now, after

hearing Victoria’s voice, she felt wronged and had the urge to cry. “I didn’t

intentionally turn off my phone last night. It’s just that… I really like him.” When

Victoria, who was in the living room, heard Fiona’s words of grievance and her

quavering voice, it broke her heart.

“I know, I know, you’ve been wronged. Where are you now? I’ll have Ethan pick you

up, alright? There are some things I want to talk to you about after you come back.”

“Okay, I’m currently at…” Fiona was about to say her location when she caught sight

of those familiar shoes in front of her and raised her head in astonishment. She saw

Alaric, who should have left, return. “You…”

“Fiona?” Alaric furrowed his brow while looking at her oddly.

His unexpected return gave Fiona a glimmer of hope, and she immediately said to

that, Fiona hung up the call. She did it so quickly that Alaric couldn’t stop her.

Victoria was speechless when Fiona hung up the call. Why did she suddenly hang

up again? And her tone seems to have become more cheerful. Could it be that

Alaric is with her? The thought of this gave Victoria a bad feeling.

had come back, but she was so embarrassed that she hesitated to speak.

Just as she was struggling with how to start the conversation, the handsome man.

you on the phone just now?”

This question caught Fiona off guard, and she slowly nodded. “Yes, I was.”

“Your friend?”

“Yes.”

“You helped me last night, didn’t you?” Alaric squinted his eyes as he asked, and

Fiona continued to nod.

“Yes, you were drunk and passed out on the ground. I was afraid something would

happen to you, so I thought of taking you to a hotel to rest. But…” At this point, Fiona

seemed to recall something, and her words came to a halt.

“But what?”

Alaric’s keen sixth sense told him that whatever followed the ‘but‘ was important.

she felt it wouldn’t be appropriate to say such things in front of Alaric. What if he got.

angry? She didn’t expect herself to blurt it out.

Fiona awkwardly smiled. “It’s… nothing.”

At this, Alaric’s gaze turned cold. “Tell me the truth.”

The way Alaric acted displayed his dominance. Fiona didn’t know what came over

her because she had planned not to say it, but when she saw Alaric’s gaze, she

suddenly felt a chill running down her spine. She couldn’t help but confess

everything truthfully.

“Y–Yesterday… something happened. You were drunk, and you tried to make a move.

that you’re not that kind of person. After that, she helped me bring you to the hotel.”

“Made a move on your friend?” Suddenly, specific images that Alaric had forgotten.

haunted his dreams, at the bar, but he had no recollection of what happened.

someone against the wall and wanted to… but then he suddenly lost.

consciousness. So, something like that had happened.

“No, no,” Fiona tried to defend him. “I know you were drunk, and you may have done

something that made her misunderstand, but you’re not that kind of person. I’ve

already explained it to her on your behalf.”

“Is that so?” Alaric said calmly.

“Yes,” Fiona nodded vigorously. “My friend didn’t know you before, so she

misunderstood you, but she won’t anymore.”

As soon as he heard this, his expression froze momentarily before he chuckled.

“She didn’t know me?” That’s just great! How dare she claim that she doesn’t know

me!

“Yeah, do you know my friend?” Fiona nodded innocently.

Not only did he know her, but they had even slept together. The next second, Alaric

raised his head and asked, “Can you take me to meet your friend?”

“Huh?” Fiona was startled at his request and wondered why he wanted to meet her

friend out of the blue.

“Didn’t you say that I’ve made a move on your friend? Take me to meet her, and I’ll

personally apologize to her face to face.” On top of that, he also wanted to ask her
