Victoria fell silent at that. Alaric looked over at her when she didn’t reply and explained
to her upon seeing her expression. “Don’t take it the wrong way. I have no intention of
blaming you. I just feel that the children are far too young and should experience more
interesting activities.”
She was flabbergasted. “I know what you mean, but your suggestion. is impossible. Are
you going to build the facilities right in their home?”
She didn’t expect him to actually nod. “Yes.”
She had no words and was about to ask whether anyone could just do that whenever
they wanted before remembering his background as well as the enormous wealth he
had given her when she had just returned to the country. She was certain that he would
make arrangements the moment she allowed it.
“So?” Alaric asked that question as she had expected when she didn’t reply.
Victoria was slightly impatient but didn’t want to say some things in front of the
children, so she turned to the nanny. “Can you bring them away to check their class
schedule for tomorrow?”

The nanny who had stood off to one side like a robot immediately came back to herself
and approached them. “Okay, Miss Selwyn.”
She then took the two kids away, upon which Victoria immediately spoke. “We agreed
to it in the hospital, didn’t we? You agreed to leave me and the children alone.”
“Yes.” Alaric nodded. “I did, but does my suggestion go against the promise?”
“No, but I’m not going to accept your suggestion.”
“Why?”
“Why? Because I don’t need it. I don’t have enough money to waste on all of that, okay?”
Her intention was to refuse his request, but she didn’t know if he really didn’t realize that
or if he was faking it as he answered, “I do. I can arrange for someone to fix things up
so you and the children can move in.”
She frowned at that. “That isn’t what we agreed to.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
He looked at her. “What difference is there? I am just arranging a home for you.” He then
seemed to recall something and paused for a moment. “You said you didn’t have
enough money. Why did you ask the lawyer to return everything then?”

“Why do you need to ask that question? It’s not my money.”
“Why not? It’s your part of the divorce settlement.”
Victoria frowned. “I don’t want your money.”
They were in a fake marriage anyway, so why would she need her part of the divorce
settlement?
“Fine. It’s okay if you don’t want the money. I’ll get someone to work on the house
tomorrow.”
Victoria didn’t know what to say to that. She could now see that his promise to leave
her and her children alone had merely been verbal; his actions didn’t actually show it
since he had to get up to something. Such circumstances might happen again in the
future, and the thought of which made her head throb.
She gritted her teeth. “When I said leave us alone, I meant that you should no longer
appear in front of us or give us anything, such as a house.”
Alaric didn’t seem to understand. “You don’t want a house? Then what do you
want?”
“Alaric!” she shouted with some exasperation. “What do you want? Were you not clear
Chapter 342 1 Don’t Want Your Money
enough about what I said in the hospital?”
Of course, he was. He understood it extremely well, but even if he did, he couldn’t just
give up on them.
He eventually took a less direct approach. “I just wanted to contribute some
compensation. Even if you refuse to recognize it, I’m still their father. I can give them a
better environment to grow up in and won’t fight with you over them. I even recorded it
and gave it to you as evidence. Are you still concerned?
“Besides, you can refuse everything I have offered, but why don’t you ask the two
children? Do they not want them too?”
She coldly answered, “They’re my children and will listen to me.”
He didn’t get angry and merely smiled. “I will get someone to design the plans
tomorrow and give them to you when it is done. Once you’re satisfied, I will hire workers.
to start on the construction. You should rest well tonight; make sure that you don’t get
your injury wet or sleep facedown. It’s best that you take a few days off from work too.”
“Are you
done?” Her attitude was still cold no matter how gentle his words were. “I’m
grateful to you for sending me back but if you are done talking, please leave.”

He wasn’t irritated by her distant attitude and nodded calmly instead. “Fine then. I’ll go
home first.”
He didn’t say anything else and left quickly. The room fell quiet after the door closed,
giving her a surreal feeling. It might have been because he had always annoyed her,
and his decisive departure was a little hard to get used to.
After a long silence, the nanny opened the door and looked at her worriedly. “Miss
Selwyn.”
Recalling that the nanny had been hired by Bane, she asked, “Do you all still talk to
Bane?”
The nanny had worked for more than ten years and knew exactly what she was
implying. “Don’t worry, Miss Selwyn. Even if Mr. Morison had hired us, you are still our
mistress. We all have professional conduct and will never betray your privacy except
under unusual circumstances.”
Her words satisfied Victoria. It would be nice if every nanny had such a profound
understanding of things.
The nanny was relieved by Victoria’s reaction. Working for rich families as a nanny paid
well and she wasn’t going to do something harmful which wouldn’t benefit her anyway.

Plus, Miss Selwyn wouldn’t be paying Mr. Morison any rent if there were a possibility of
them getting together.
After coming down from her home, Alaric stood beneath the streetlight for a long time.
He did not say anything, so the driver did not dare approach and merely parked the car
by the road to wait quietly.
It was a while before Alaric looked toward the driver. The latter, who had been paying
attention to Alaric’s every movement, immediately moved the car before Alaric and got
down to open the car door.
“Mr. Cadogan.”
Alaric got into the car and called Terrance as soon as they set off. “Get a designer to
design a house for me.”
The driver eavesdropped on the conversation behind him as he drove.
Design a house? Just when he has just come down from Miss Selwyn’s home? Is it for
her and the children to live in?
He didn’t have to wonder about it since he had his confirmation upon hearing Alaric

mention children’s bedrooms and entertainment facilities.

However, the driver wondered if he had misheard as he listened to what Alaric said
afterward. A house with various entertainment facilities and even a library? Is Mr.
Cadogan sure that he’s building a house and not a shopping mall? Or perhaps it is his
plan to build a shopping mall right inside the house?
