Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 551

Chapter 551 Blank Memories

However, before she could fully form that thought, the elevator stopped on another floor, and more

people

entered.

As more people entered, those inside the elevator naturally squeezed into the corners. Alaric was

pushed forward by the crowd and took two steps forward, causing Victoria to stumble a bit as well.

In the next moment, she instinctively tightened her grip around his waist, and their bodies pressed

closely together.

She heard his laughter from above. It was deep and pleasant.

“You should have hugged me earlier, shouldn’t you?”

Upon hearing his words, Victoria couldn’t help but pout and pinch his waist.

Hiss.

Alaric gasped due to her pinch and caught hold of her restless hand while lowering his voice. “Don’t be

naughty.”

The elevator was crowded, and they would be arriving at her company soon. He was afraid that if she

continued pinching him like that, it wouldn’t look good when they got out.

Since their bodies were pressed tightly against each other, Victoria clearly felt something when she

pinched him earlier. Her gaze changed slightly, and she silently criticized herself in her heart before she

stopped the pinching and only held him lightly.

As the elevator ascended, Alaric felt the crowd behind him and let out a sigh.

“What if we change the location for the company?”

The place she rented for her company was shared with other companies, and there was only one

elevator that everyone used to go upstairs, which was quite inconvenient.

Victoria blinked her eyes and replied, “Forget it. If I could change it, I would have done so earlier. I

wouldn’t

have to wait until now.”

Although she had no memories, she knew that she must have chosen this place before due to financial

constraints. Otherwise, who wouldn’t want a large and beautiful office environment as well as a

dedicated

elevator?

Upon hearing her words, Alaric subconsciously spoke up. “But now I’m here, right? I can help you

change it.”

It was supposed to be a heartwarming statement. However, it sounded different when Victoria heard it.

She looked at his handsome face, blinked her eyes lightly, and whispered, “What do you mean by ‘Now

I’m

here”?”

Alaric’s expression changed slightly after he heard her words, and the smile on his lips faded a bit.

He pursed his thin lips as he knew that he had said the wrong thing. Fortunately, he was quick to react,

and in just a few seconds, he came up with a response.

What I meant was, if you act a bit spoiled with me, I’ll help you change the company’s address right

away.”

Victoria said, “You’re thinking too much.”

Ding-

Coincidentally, the elevator doors opened at this moment, and a crowd of people exited, instantly

leaving the

elevator half empty. There was plenty of space remaining.

However, Alaric still kept his hand braced against her side and did not let her go. Instead, he stared at

her

intently.

“Why am I thinking too much? Is it difficult for you to act spoiled with me?”

As he spoke, his fingertips even entwined with Victoria’s dark hair. “What’s there to be shy about when

you’re acting spoiled with your own husband?”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t soft either. Furthermore, there was no one else speaking in the

elevator at the moment, so his words were clearly heard by those around them. The people around

couldn’t help but look

at them.

Upon closer inspection, they realized that there was a handsome couple in the corner. The couple was

pleasing

to the eye, and their attire looked affluent.

People were always particularly interested in attractive things, and coupled with Alaric’s words just now,

the remaining people in the elevator couldn’t help but look at them.

Some girls even started whispering.

“Wow! They’re actually a married couple. Finally, we’re able to see a combination of a handsome guy

and a beautiful girl.”

“Yeah. It’s true that only when a truly handsome guy and a truly beautiful girl are together is it pleasing

to the eye. In the past, we always saw beautiful girls with ugly guys and it was truly an eyesore.”

There were various discussions in the elevator.

Victoria blushed a little after hearing what everyone was saying. She pursed her lips and made a slight

movement to withdraw her hand.

Unfortunately, Alaric had been holding it tightly all along, and she couldn’t pull it away even if she

wanted to.

It wasn’t until they reached their floor and the elevator doors opened that he led her out.

As they walked out, the girls who were discussing her even smiled at her in a friendly manner when

she passed by them.

“Miss, I wish you both a long and happy marriage.”

Victoria only had time to smile at them and say thank you before the elevator doors closed.

She felt warm in her heart. She had only one thing in mind-those girls were really kind. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

After walking for a while, they entered her company.

Why did Victoria know that this was her company? It was because a strong sense of familiarity had

already emerged when she came here.

She took a glance at the decorations and the signboard in front of her while feeling that it was indeed a

style

she would like.

This is… the company I established by myself?

She unconsciously reached out and touched a small sign hanging by the door of the company and let

her fingertips linger on it.

After seeing her action, Alaric stood behind her and stopped.

“What’s wrong? Do you have any impressions of this place?”

Just then, Victoria’s mind flashed with a scene of her personally hanging that small sign with Henry

standing

beside her.

He applauded her while saying, “Miss Selwyn, you’ve done a great job. Can you help me make one for

door too?”

Victoria gladly agreed as she was excited by the recognition of her work. “Sure. No problem.”

Victoria nodded while she was lost in her thoughts.

“I seem to have a faint impression.”

Alaric asked out of curiosity, “What do you remember? Is it helpful for your memory?”

my

office

Victoria shook her head. “It doesn’t seem to be of much help, but… it’s only the first day. If I come to

the company every day, I might remember more.”

“Hmm.” Alaric agreed as he nodded. “Since you have to work every day, you can come to the company

every day then.”

He had initially considered changing the location for her company, but he dropped that idea now

Not only did he think that the familiar surroundings could help her recover her memories, but also

because he almost slipped up in the elevator earlier.

Therefore, he decided to temporarily refrain from bringing up the topic.

Although he thought Victoria was doing well now, as she had no memories, she relied on him heavily,

and he felt great about it.

However… in a certain sense, he hoped she could regain her true self.

She probably had the same thought. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stood here for so long.

“If I come to work here every day, what about the two kids…”

“Don’t worry. My father will be back in a few days, and then he’ll take care of Nicole and Nathan.”

Alaric’s father…

After losing her memory Victoria hadn’t met him vat and didn’t know what kind of person he was

Furthermore, she remembered something else-she only knew about Alaric’s parents, but what about

her own

parents?

In her blurred memories, she seemed to have an impression of her father, but as for her mother…

Her memory was blank.

She didn’t know if it was because of losing her memory or if it had always been blank.
