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

This was Victoria’s first time seeing him after losing her memories. Even though she had seen some photos, the feeling was completely different when she met him in person. 

A sense of intimacy rose within her heart along with the tears in her eyes as she flung herself into her father’s. embrace. 

Tony also stretched out his arms and hugged his daughter, his eyes moist with tears. 

His poor daughter…

Upon entering the house, Victoria no longer felt like she was abroad as the music and the sight of Coryntheans around the house made her feel at home. “You’re here, Victoria.” 

Victoria couldn’t recognize the person, but because she had seen her picture before, she knew who she was. “Hi, Mrs. Selwyn.” Victoria hugged the lady. 

Sasha knew she lost her memory, so she acted as if she didn’t know her at all, but when she heard the familiar way in which she was addressed, she was overwhelmed by a pang of hurt. After all, Sasha couldn’t stop thinking about how Victoria used to call her like she was her own daughter. 

Sasha had a son who treated her pretty well, but it was hard for them to open up to each other under certain circumstances since they were different genders. Furthermore, a man would never be as thoughtful as a woman. Although Sasha’s son would give her some money and buy her all kinds of presents on special occasions, she still hoped to have deep conversations with her child, which was something her son would 

hardly do with her. Because of that, she had always wanted to have a daughter, but as time passed by, she had no plans of remarrying, worried that it might impact her son’s future well–being. 

When Sasha got together with Tony later on, they realized they felt the same way; they were both happy with only one child. Nonetheless, Sasha’s mind somehow seemed to change a bit when she met Victoria. Due to Victoria’s pleasant personality, Sasha treated her as if she was her own daughter, but deep down, she didn’t 

think she deserved to be Victoria’s mother since she had never raised her before. 

Come on, where is my sense of shame?! Therefore, Sasha didn’t find it upsetting even when Victoria called her Mrs. Selwyn. “Hello, Victoria.” Sasha gently touched Victoria’s hand and shifted her attention to Alaric, greeting 

him with a smile. 

“Are you Alaric?” Alaric nodded with a smile and greeted Sasha the same way Victoria did. 

After that, everyone else settled down at the dining table and got ready for dinner harmoniously. 

Watching the peaceful interactions in the house, Victoria felt grateful and blessed as she hoped that the harmony she was seeing could last for eternity. Deep down, she had been doing her best to find her lost. memories, wanting to know why she’d even make such a post on her WhatsApp status. Nevertheless, it 

suddenly dawned on her at that moment that there was actually nothing worth finding out for her. After all, some things were better left forgotten. 

On the inside, Victoria was grateful to be given a second chance to say goodbye to all the painful memories. she once had. Therefore, she no longer thought there was a reason for her to dig out the past, for that would only make her suffer. Well, happiness is what matters the most, or I’ll only find myself in misery and pain if I get too caught up in the past. 

After dinner, it was getting late. Furthermore, the fact that they had been occupied by a long flight the whole day left them with little time to catch up. Instead, they were brought to their accommodation that had been cleaned beforehand. While Tony showed Alaric’s parents where they would be staying, Sasha took Alaric and Victoria to their rooms. 

Sasha held Victoria’s hand and smiled. “Well, I didn’t prepare anything special for your place, save for having the maid clean your old room up. Anyway, I suppose Alaric is going to… share the same room with you. correct?” 

Although the two of them were legal spouses, Victoria couldn’t help blushing in her face when she heard Sasha’s words. “Yeah.”
