SWNOVELS Departure with a Belly Chapter 465
Chapter 465
After hearing a sound, Victoria abruptly turned around and locked eyes with Bane.
Seeing his gaze fall upon her, she said, “I’ve already told the police everything I said I
would.”
The way she worded it, it sounded like she was simply following his instructions.
After hearing this, he pursed his lips and hummed in appreciation. “Well done.”
However, she asked, “Does that mean I should be praised?”
“Yes.”
“Then, can I ask for a reward?” Victoria asked again.

Hearing her request, Bane pressed his lips together and seemed to be lost in thought.
After a while, he asked, “What reward do you want?”
“I want to go out for a walk.” Before he could respond, she added, “Alone.”
At that moment, the word “sure” froze on his lips, and he silently looked at her. Instead,
he explained, “You’ve lost your memory, and it’s unsafe for you to go out alone.”
“I may have lost my memory, but I’m not helpless. What’s so unsafe about it?”
“You don’t know the way.”
“There are navigation apps, right? I can just look at them.”
However, Bane still gave Victoria the same reply. “No.”
Her eyebrows furrowed in response.
“Even if you can use navigation apps, it is still dangerous to be outside. Since you’ve
lost your memory, you don’t know your way around, and the current situation is quite
chaotic.”
“If you allow Leon to accompany me, it would be akin to surveilling me.”
“If you don’t like Leon, I can accompany you. Where do you want to go?”
Is there any difference between him and Leon accompanying me? She disapproved
and scoffed at his argument. “Bane Morison. That’s your name, right?” Before he could
answer, she continued, “I just want to go for a walk. What are you afraid of? Are you
lying to me about everything other than me being your fiancée? Is that why you’re so
terrified?”
When confronted with Victoria’s questions, Bane maintained his cool and clarified, “No.
Besides that, everything else is true. I don’t want you to go out alone, and you should
know why. If you don’t like Leon, let me accompany you. Also, if you don’t want me

around, pick anyone in this villa. In any case, someone must be by your side.”

After observing his resolute stance, she realized it would be difficult for her to go out
alone as planned, but fortunately, she had never intended to go out alone. Nonetheless,
a hint of disappointment remained on her face as she said, “Fine, then I’ll pick someone
myself. Is it okay if it’s a woman? I don’t want a man following me because it’s
inconvenient.”
“Sure.” Bane quickly consented.
Victoria then pursed her lips and stopped speaking to him. It was clear that the matter
had concluded, and she didn’t want to say anything else.
On the other hand, Bane didn’t say anything for a few seconds after seeing that Victoria
didn’t either before taking a step forward. “I know you have lost your memory and must
feel unfamiliar with me. My selfishness may have caused a rift in your trust in me, but
you
have to believe me. My feelings for you are genuine, and even though words can be
false, I believe feelings cannot. Can you sense that?”
After hearing his heartfelt words, she raised an eyebrow and gave him a quick glance.
Indeed, his statements make sense. I can feel his strong feelings for me, and this is
something that cannot be faked. On the other hand, his possessiveness is palpable.
Moreover, he asserts that we are a couple, but his actions… If we are a couple, being
physically close to him doesn’t feel natural, and I find myself resisting his physical
proximity. After that, she replied, “Yeah, I understand.”

Later, she chose a young woman who looked about the same age as herself. This
woman happened to be the only one with the same nationality as her in the villa, and
she was also about her height.
Meanwhile, when Leon learned about this, he immediately expressed his thoughts to
Bane. “Mr. Morison, the young woman Miss Selwyn chose, has the smallest figure in
our villa. Will it be alright for her to go out with-”
However, before Leon could finish his sentence, Bane glanced at him coldly and
interrupted, “I gave her the right to choose. What are you questioning?”

With just a look from him, Leon instantly broke into a cold sweat. People on the street
probably think Mr. Morison is kind and courteous. They believe he is merely a
gentleman, but I’ve witnessed his decisive and ruthless nature. So, I don’t have the
naive opinion of him that many others do. Miss Selwyn is most likely the reason for his
patience. Although he wanted to advise Bane again, Bane’s cold aura made him
hesitate to speak.
Suddenly, Bane’s cold voice rang out. “Has Rainee confessed yet?”
When the name “Rainee” was mentioned, Leon’s face changed slightly, and shook his
head. “No, she doesn’t admit that she pushed Miss Selwyn.”
“Ha!” Bane responded with a disdainful chuckle. “She doesn’t admit it? So, you didn’t
see anything that day either?”

Leon’s face changed again upon hearing those words. After contemplating for a while,
he said, “Mr. Morison, although Ms. Rainee was at fault, don’t you think the current
outcome is favorable for you? Miss Selwyn has lost her memory, which is more
advantageous for you, Mr. Morison.” However, as soon as he finished speaking, he
noticed a rapid drop in the temperature around him.
“Losing her memory is more advantageous for me? What then? What if something
worse happened to her that day instead?” Bane had worried about the possibility that
something else had happened to Victoria when he pushed the door open and found her
lying unconscious on the floor.
Moreover, he couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. Even though she has only lost her
memory, what if something worse has happened? Will I come to regret it if I lose her?
Suddenly, his heart sank just thinking about it. When he returned his gaze to Leon, his
eyes had become cold and merciless.
When confronted with such a gaze, Leon instantly regretted his words and apologized,
“I’m sorry, Mr. Morison. I shouldn’t have said so much. Now I know how to handle this
situation. Please be assured that I will provide you with a satisfactory response.” After
saying this, he quickly walked away.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to repent. As soon as he stepped outside, he was
restrained by a group of people who bound his hands and feet and covered his mouth
and nose. Then, he was knocked out by an unfamiliar scent, and after he passed out, he
was dragged away.
Shortly after he was taken away, a figure emerged from the corner. It was Ethan, who
disappeared from the hospital earlier after taking something. He stared coldly as Leon
was dragged away, then walked over to where Bane was standing. “Mr. Morison.”

Bane looked at him, realizing he would never have used Ethan again if it hadn’t been for
this incident. Once unfaithful, never to be used again. However, given the recent events
and the fact that this man has already risked his life to help Victoria, I have no choice
but to use him again. After all, he is the only one who genuinely cares about her.
