Seeing that Alaric finally understood, Victoria finally breathed a sigh of relief. She got
up to pour herself a glass of water. When she turned her head, she saw that Alaric’s
forehead was covered in a cold sweat.
“You’re sweating so much. Is your wound okay?” While asking, Victoria reached out and
touched his forehead. “Are you running a fever?”
The temperature she felt seemed to be high, but it didn’t feel like a fever.
“I’m not running a fever.” Alaric calmly replied as he looked at her. “As for why the
temperature is higher, think about what we did just now.”
Victoria was speechless.
After hearing the last sentence, she instantly understood his meaning, and she
withdrew her hand.
Well, she finally understood why his temperature was high but not like a fever. However,
his shamelessness was beyond imagination if he could openly say it like this.
“Go to sleep.” Alaric pointed to where she had been lying before, indicating for her to lie
down again.

However, after what happened just now, Victoria hesitated. If she lay down again, what
if he…
“This time, I won’t do anything to you. I promise,” Alaric said.
“Your promises mean nothing. You said that you couldn’t do anything to me in your
current condition just now,” Victoria retorted.
“Well, that was before. Besides, I didn’t promise anything back then, did I?” Alaric said.
Victoria was dumbfounded.
That made sense when he put it that way.
She hesitated for two seconds. In the end, she crawled over and lay down in her
original position. As soon as she lay down, Alaric’s hand reached out.
Victoria’s expression changed, thinking that he wanted to do something to her, but she
saw that he just wanted to pull up the blanket to cover her.
His movement wasn’t very smooth, and it was evident that his wound was painful.
Victoria furrowed her brows slightly and reached out to pull the blanket, then said to him, “Well, you
should lie down and sleep too. You don’t need to worry about me
Chapter 420 Sleeping Together With Mommy
anymore.”
After speaking, she pulled the blanket away slightly, leaving a spot for him.
Alaric chuckled softly at this gesture, and after a while, he lay down beside her.

To make room for him, Victoria lay on her side. When he lay down, her entire back was
tightly pressed against the couch to make more space for him.
But when he lay down, Victoria realized a problem. As the space was too small, when
he lay down, not only was her back pressed against the couch, but her front was also
pressed against him.
It would have been fine if it were other body parts, but there were some parts that felt
awkward. It made Victoria try to move back as much as possible.
After a short while, Alaric raised his arm and pulled her into his embrace.
“What about your wound…”
“It’s on the other side.” Alaric’s voice was low as he said, “Using this arm to hold you
won’t affect it.”
Victoria looked up and saw that his wound was indeed on the other side, so she

relaxed.
“But if we stay like this for a long time, your arm will get sore.”
“It’ll just be sore; it won’t break.”
“You never know,” Victoria retorted. “If the blood circulation is cut off for too long, it
could result in your disability.”

She didn’t know whether he really listened to what she said or not, but she heard a dry
laugh from him, followed by, “If I do become disabled, will you look at me more?”
Although she knew he was mostly joking when he said these words, she felt unhappy
and found it inauspicious.
“No. If you become disabled, then I won’t want you anymore.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Well then, I’ll do my best not to become disabled…”
“It’s good that you know…”

For more than five years, the two of them rarely had moments like this. They were now
just lying together in peace and talking about trivial things.
Although their conversation was trivial, Victoria felt a sense of tranquility in her heart
that she had never felt before.
When she raised her head, she could see his perfect jawline, and the air around her was
filled with his scent when she breathed.
After changing clothes, he no longer had the unpleasant smell of blood, only the
familiar scent she was used to, which gave her a sense of comfort.
With that in mind, her restless hand gradually moved forward and gently wrapped
around him. She thereafter closed her eyes and leaned against his chest.
“I’m sleepy,” she whispered softly.
“Then go to sleep.”
“Mm. If you’re not feeling well, wake me up.”
“Okay.”
Gradually, Alaric heard the sound of her even and steady breathing.
She had fallen asleep.
Alaric covered her with the blanket to prevent her from catching a cold after falling
asleep. However, he accidentally touched his wound, causing him to nearly inhale
sharply in pain.
As Victoria was beside him, he didn’t want to wake her up, so he endured the pain.
He looked down at the wound on his body and let out a soft sigh.
Originally, such a wound would be difficult for him to endure, but because Victoria was
by his side and in his arms, this wound didn’t seem as suffering anymore. Instead, it felt
like a blessing.
As he thought about this, a beautiful smile appeared on his lips.
If Terrance knew about his thoughts at this moment, he would probably give him a
disdainful look and say, “Pfft, what a lovesick fool.”
The next day, when Nathan woke up, he turned his head and saw Nicole sleeping in a
topsy–turvy manner. He got up and covered her with the blanket, intending to let her
sleep a little longer after the fright they had last night.

However, just as he finished covering her, Nicole woke up and stared at him with sleepy
eyes.
“Nathan?”
Seeing that she was awake, Nathan helped her up. Nicole was still not fully awake and
sat there rubbing her eyes. “Nathan, why did you wake up so early?”
After speaking, she looked around and noticed that Victoria wasn’t by their side. Hence,
she decided to ask again, “Where’s Mommy?”
Nathan also didn’t see Victoria sleeping with them when he woke up, so he planned to
get out of bed and check, but he didn’t expect Nicole to wake up at that moment.
“I don’t know; Mommy wasn’t here when I woke up.”
As soon as Nicole heard that, her eyes widened. “Could it be that Mommy didn’t sleep
with us last night?”
Nathan shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
“Ah, then, Nathan…. Let’s go find Mommy.”
“Okay.”

The two little ones got out of bed together, got dressed, put on their shoes, and walked
toward the living room. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
When they opened the door, sunlight streamed in, making them squint instinctively.
After a moment, when they opened their eyes again, they saw two figures on the couch
opposite.
The figures were embracing each other as they slept–it was Victoria and Alaric.
The first thing Nicole saw made her cover her mouth in surprise. Her eyes widened, and
she then whispered to Nathan, “Nathan, look! Mr. Night and Mommy are sleeping
together!”
