Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 362

Victoria frowned as she watched Alaric’s actions. “What are you doing?”

He remained silent and took two steps forward, getting closer to her. Instinctively, she

stepped back.

Instead of stopping, he continued to advance until her back was against the cabinet at

the entrance. To maintain distance, she could only slightly lean back.

Alaric rested his big hands on her waist naturally and stared at her with his deep eyes.

“Since you won’t continue welcoming me here, I can only overstay my visit.”

At once, she was speechless. He is truly shameless.

While she was in thought, the hands on her waist began to move up an inch. She

instantly became guarded, widening her beautiful eyes. “What are you trying to do?”

Contrary to her reaction, he lowered his head and chuckled softly in the crook of her

neck, exhaling hot breaths that tickled her. “Snowball,” he called her by her nickname

with his deep voice. “I discovered some things I didn’t know before, so I won’t leave.”

Not only will I not leave, but I will be more insistent in pursuing you.

After that, Alaric let go of her waist. “Let’s go and have breakfast.”

Left alone standing in place, Victoria couldn’t quite understand the meaning behind his

words just now. What did he mean by discovering some things he didn’t know before?

What exactly did he discover?

With pursed lips, she wanted to catch up with him while holding the bags. However,

just as she took a few steps, Alaric suddenly turned back and took the items from her

hand. “I’ll do it.”

Before she could refuse, he forcefully took the bags from her. Then, he took out the

breakfast from the bag and placed it on the table while she watched without

expression. Victoria only realized something after Alaric finished arranging the

breakfast, but it was already too late.

After everything was placed on the table, he raised an eyebrow as he looked at the four

breakfast meals. “Isn’t this my portion? Weren’t you asking me to leave moments ago?”

His voice was slightly hoarse, which was probably a result of last night’s fever.

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she looked at him calmly and said, “Am I

not allowed to have extras?”

At her words, he chuckled softly. “Nothing’s wrong with that, but you’ll have to give me

one portion today. I’ll make it up to you with extras tomorrow, okay?”

Just as she was about to say something, she caught sight of Nathan and Nicole

approaching. As such, she had no choice but to lower her voice and say, “No need to

make it up. Just finish your meal and leave.”

While Alaric was still wondering why her attitude had changed so dramatically, Nicole’s

voice sounded. Oh, so it’s because of the children again. Never mind, as long as I know

what her feelings are. Everything else isn’t important.

After finishing breakfast, Victoria thought Alaric would linger around and not leave.

Unexpectedly, he said, “I have something to do later, so I won’t be giving you a lift.”

At his words, she looked up at him. “Okay, you can keep yourself busy at this rate from.

now on.”

When she said that, his phone rang, so he answered, “Are you downstairs? Got it.”

“Are you leaving, Mr. Night? Are you not going to accompany Nathan and me to school

today?”

“Yeah.” Alaric nodded. “I have something important to take care of today.” Suddenly, he

paused before continuing, “After I finish dealing with it, I’ll come and accompany you

two every single day.”

At his words, Victoria couldn’t help but glance at him, her delicate eyebrows gently

furrowing. She couldn’t tell if it was her imagination, but she seemed to sense a hint of

determination in his words. What important matter does he have to attend to?

Soon, she connected this matter to what happened last night when he was drugged. Is

he going to settle the score with Claudia? Well, whether he’s willing or not is one thing,

but can he actually lay hands on the person who saved his life? Back then, when

Claudia helped me, I owed her for five years and agreed to many of her conditions.

Now, we’re talking about Alaric’s life that she saved. How can he repay her in a way that

will settle the debt? Unfortunately, favors like this can never be settled with money

alone.

While Victoria was lost in thought, a figure suddenly walked up to her and bent down.

before she could react, leaving a kiss on her fair forehead.

Nicole quickly covered her eyes with her hands, pretending to be shy. Nathan, on the

other hand, stood still in place. I didn’t expect that things would progress so quickly

between Mommy and Mr. Night just after one night.

Not only Nathan, but even Victoria herself was stunned; she had no idea what had

gotten into Alaric. He fell asleep after kissing me last night, but now that he has woken

up, he actually kissed me in front of the two children! Is he insane, or am I insane?

After Alaric kissed her forehead, he was about to step back but hesitated, not wanting

to part. He then pecked her forehead again and whispered, “Wait for me to come back.”

With those words, he let go of her hand before she could push him away. Then, he

pretended to be calm and walked away quickly.

Bang! When the door was closed, Victoria looked at the two children in front of her, still

unable to react.

Instead, it was Nicole who widened her eyes and asked joyfully, “Mommy, are you going

to marry Mr. Night? Will he be our daddy?”

“It’s not like that, Nicole. Let me explain,” Victoria replied.

“Mr. Night slept at our house last night, though. If you don’t want him to be our daddy,

why did you let him sleep over?”

Victoria showed a helpless expression and struggled to explain, saying, “That’s because

”

“Yay, I’m going to have a Daddy!” Nicole jumped off her chair and stood on the ground,

stretching her arms and cheering. “No one in school can say that I’m a child with an

Chapter 362 Wait for Me to Come Back

absent father anymore!”

This statement stopped the words in Victoria’s mouth. Her expression changed, and

she walked up to Nicole. “Nicole, what did you just say? Who said those things?”

Children usually don’t know phrases like that.

At the sight of her serious expression, Nicole was startled but quickly reported, “It was,

the teacher from the junior class. During our break one time, she whispered to the

teacher from the senior class, and Nathan and I overheard it.”

“Huh?” Victoria’s expression turned serious. “When was that?”

Nicole scratched her chin. “Um, I don’t remember.”

Victoria had to turn to Nathan and ask, “Nathan?”

“It was last week,” Nathan replied obediently.

When Victoria heard that it was something that happened last week, she felt bad for

them. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier about something like this?” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t be angry, Mommy,” Nicole said in her adorable voice as she rushed over and

hugged Victoria’s arm. “It’s already difficult for you to take care of Nathan and me alone.

Nathan said that if we tell you what the teacher said, you will be very sad, so we made a

pinky promise to keep it a secret.”
