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

Chapter 464 

Victoria didn’t hesitate much. After all, it was important for her to ask the question. “Am 

I really your fiancée?” she asked while looking into his eyes, genuinely seeking an 

answer. 

Bane paused momentarily as he was taken aback by the question, but also expecting it. 

Even if the woman he loved had lost her memories, she couldn’t possibly be a fool. 

She already had her doubts. If he were to keep this up and refuse to admit it now, not 

only would she not believe him, but it might even lead to a negative emotional 

response. 

Her amnesia gave him a new opportunity. 

He couldn’t just let go of this chance so easily. 

“No,” Bane replied softly. “It’s just my selfish desire to say that you’re my fiancée.” 

Just as expected. 

Victoria narrowed her eyes. “Selfish desire? So, we’re not even a couple?” 

“We are a couple, but you haven’t accepted my proposal yet. You’ve been insisting on 

breaking up with me, although I don’t know the reason behind it.” 

As he said this, he lowered his gaze while wearing an extremely desolate expression. 

These emotions of his were genuine and not an act. 

In his eyes, during the five years they had been together, he had already treated her as 

his girlfriend. 

So, what he said wasn’t considered a lie. 

” 

After listening to his words, Victoria wasn’t sure whether to believe them or not. She fell 

into deep thought. 

After a while, she raised her head. “What do you need me to tell the police?” 

She thought about it and felt that she could help with this favor. Bane didn’t have ill 

intentions toward her, but he was very selfish and wanted to keep her by his side. 

Moreover, she seemed to be under the influence of a strange feeling. 

She came here for a reason. Even though she still couldn’t remember what it was, there 

was a voice in her heart telling her to stay. 

She couldn’t leave here for the time being, so she probably needed to cooperate with 

the police. 

“It’s simple. You don’t have to say anything special. Just answer the police officer’s 

Chapter 464 A Presence in Her Life 

questions honestly. When they ask about our relationship, you can say whatever you 

want.”

“Oh?” Victoria raised her eyebrow at this question and then asked, “I can say anything I 

want? What if I say you’re a kidnapper?” 

Upon hearing this, Bane was dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but rub his temples. “If 

you really say that, you’ll be causing trouble for me,” he replied while looking at her with 

a helpless expression. 

She seemed to understand the circumstances now. “All right. I know what to say now. 

When am I going to meet them?” 

After Victoria agreed, the meeting was arranged quickly. 

Since a report had been filed, the necessary procedures had to be followed. The police 

officers met with Victoria and asked her some essential questions. Then, she answered 

based on the information she knew. 

When they were almost done with the questioning and were about to leave, she 

suddenly asked a question. “How does the police department usually handle people 

with amnesia?” 

Since there was nothing wrong with the questioning session, the two police officers 

Chapter 464 A Presence in Her Life 

who had come to question her had initially packed up their things and were preparing 

to leave. However, upon hearing her question, they exchanged glances and sat back 

down. 

Their expressions instantly became serious and solemn. 

“Miss Selwyn, what do you mean by that?”

“Oh. What I mean is that I’ve lost my memory. I don’t remember anything from before.” 

“What about your answers just now?” 

“Well, the answers I gave just now are based on what I’ve come to know since I woke 

up.” 

At this, the two officers exchanged another glance, and they were confused. 

In the beginning, she didn’t say anything and answered only when asked, and she was 

cooperative. 

Moreover, they verified the identities of both individuals and found no suspicious 

aspects. They even felt that this might just be a misunderstanding. 

However, they didn’t expect Victoria to claim that she had lost her memory right before 

they were about to leave. 

Chapter 464 A Presence in Her Life 

If she had lost her memory, what she had said earlier might not be reliable anymore. 

After seeing the two officers staring at her intently, Victoria spoke up. “Actually, there’s 

no need for you to be nervous. I’m friends with him, and I haven’t been threatened.” 

“Why did you ask the question then?” 

“I’m just confused and have no idea what’s going on. Can I ask for your help?” 

At this moment, Bane and several others were waiting outside. 

Perhaps they had been waiting for too long, one of Bane’s subordinates couldn’t help 

but ask, “Mr. Morison, is it okay to let Miss Selwyn stay with the police?” 

Bane didn’t respond, and his silence made the subordinate anxious and agitated. 

“Mr. Morison, what if Miss Selwyn-” 

“Why are you so worried?” Bane glanced at him lightly. His tone and demeanor were 

extremely calm. 

The subordinate was speechless. I can’t believe Mr. Morison can still remain so calm at 

a time like this. Am I just overthinking it? After all, Mr. Morison understands Miss 

Selwyn better than anyone else here. It should be fine. 

5/8

At the thought of this, the subordinate let out a slight sigh of relief. Perhaps he was 

being overly nervous. 

While he was contemplating, the door opened from inside, and the police officers 

walked out.

The subordinate hurriedly stepped forward before Bane and greeted them. “Officers, 

have you finished the investigation? I told you that the college student must have 

mistaken things. Miss Selwyn and Mr. Morison have been friends for many years. How 

could there be a kidnapping?” 

The two police officers exchanged a glance. 

Although Victoria had lost her memory, she and Bane were indeed friends for many 

years. Moreover, she had been rescued by him this time and taken to the best hospital 

for treatment. They even booked a VIP ward for her. Kidnappers wouldn’t treat 

someone so well. 

In addition, the investigation and questioning didn’t reveal anything. The procedures 

were completed, and there was nothing more they could do. 

“Mm.” 

They nodded slightly toward Bane, who was standing not far behind. “It’s a 

misunderstanding. We have clarified everything.” 

Chapter 464 A Presence in Her Life 

Upon hearing this, the subordinate revealed a look of joy. “So, that means everything is 

fine, right? I told you so-” 

As he was about to start a long speech again, the two police officers gave a brief 

explanation and quickly left. 

After the police left, the subordinate smiled and said, “Mr. Morison, what great foresight 

you have. Miss Selwyn didn’t say anything after all.” 

At this, Bane glanced at him coldly without saying a word. Then, he pursed his lips and 

went back inside with a stern face. 

Victoria, who had finished answering the questions, had already walked to the balcony 

and sat down. 

She didn’t turn around when she heard the sound of footsteps. 

Bane walked up behind her and watched her basking in the sunlight with her shoulders 

draped, looking peaceful and content. At the sight of this, he pursed his lips. 

She had lost her memory. 

Although he didn’t know when she would regain her memory, would she hate him when 

she came to learn what he had done? 

Even so, ever since she decided to be with Alaric again, he no longer had a choice. 

Chapter 464 A Presence in 

He wanted things to continue like this. Even if she ended up hating him 

still had a presence in her life.
