Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 270

Chapter 270 

The school principal, Greg Bacher, came out personally to welcome Alaric. In fact, he 

was shocked to find out that Alaric wanted to visit their kindergarten.

Although he was 

aware that Alaric was a successful businessman, it was astonishing to him that he 

would like to check out the environment of the school because he had never heard that 

Alaric was married or had children. 

When he voiced his doubts, his wife said, “Why do you care whether he has children or 

not? Maybe he’s just prepping for the future. You know, the rich are always planning 

ahead in everything. Don’t read too much into this when he’s just here for a visit. Just 

do what you’re supposed to do, and it will be fine.” 

After Greg listened to his wife’s advice, he greeted Alaric with a smiling face and led 

him to walk around the school compound. “The environment of our school is not bad. If 

you have kids in the future, you can consider sending them to school here, Mr. 

Cadogan.” 

Sadly, no matter what he said, Alaric’s face remained stoic and didn’t show any reaction 

at all. Greg stared at his expressionless face and wondered worriedly, Is he unhappy 

with the school?Next to them, Terrance, who knew that Alaric wasn’t here to check out 

the school nor was he interested in the surroundings, stepped forward and said, “Mr. 

Bacher, the environment looks very good, but we wonder how the teaching atmosphere 

is. May we take a look in the classrooms?” 

“Sure!” Greg nodded. “Of course, come with me.” He led them toward the classrooms, 

but it was not yet time for classes; many kids had just arrived, and some classes were 

missing some of their students. “Now is the free activity time for the kids, but we have a 

few teachers watching over them to assure that there’s no accident during this time.” 

When they entered the first classroom, Alaric looked around the room but didn’t find 

familiar faces. Then, he turned his gaze away, and Terrance immediately knew what he 

had to do next. “May we go to the next class?” 

“Of course, you can. Let’s go.” Because he was the principal, he could lead anyone to 

any place in the school. Along the way, some kids recognized and greeted him in all 

sorts of baby voices. 

“Hello, Mr. Principal.” 

“Good morning, Mr, Bacher.” 

Just like that, Greg returned everyone’s greeting awkwardly in Alaric’s presence, and 

after visiting a few classrooms, Alaric still didn’t find the kids he wanted to see. A frown 

slowly appeared on his face as he thought, I saw them coming in when I was in the car, 

but why can’t I find them now? Where the hell did they go? 

Chapter 270 Mr Good Looks 

While he was pondering over this, he suddenly caught sight of two familiar figures 

sitting in a corner and playing with something. Their heads were put together as they 

looked at something in their hands. 

Alaric stopped, staring at the kids in a daze, and whether it was his gaze or feet, he 

couldn’t move them a single bit. 

Meanwhile, Terrance and Greg followed his gaze. When Greg saw that he was looking 

at Nicole and Nathan, he smiled. “Mr. Cadogan, those two kids are very adorable, aren’t 

they? Do you know that they’re really popular on the Internet? They have a live 

broadcast room with a lot of viewers and their viewership is comparable to a celebrity. 

wife and kids like to watch their live broadcast.” 

At the mention of this, Greg suddenly remembered that he was next to his wife when 

she was watching their live broadcast. While they were watching the broadcast, 

something popped up in his wife’s mind and she passed the phone to him. “Old man, 

look. Doesn’t this kid look like Mr. Cadogan from the Cadogan Group?” 

Her words piqued his interest, and he took a look. Before she brought this up, he hadn’t 

really thought anything of it, but after she did, he thought that the features were very 

similar. “They do look alike.” 

“Could they be his illegitimate children?” 

“That’s nonsense. Why would he have illegitimate children when he’s not even married 

yet?” 

“Yeah, but I remember there was a rumor before this going around that someone put 

their children through plastic surgery in an attempt to pass off as a Cadogan. Even that 

attempt was a failure, not to mention that it’s common to have similar–looking people in 

this world. Maybe they’re not related at all.” 

As Greg listened to his wife blabbering, he took another look at the screen and thought, 

This is different from plastic surgery. They really look alike. 

Still, there was no way he could say this out loud in Alaric’s presence. Besides, the fact 

that Alaric was staring at the kids without moving an inch was probably because he 

thought the same, too. 

Alaric’s gaze never wavered from the two kids as he started toward them. 

“Mr. Cadogan-” 

Seeing that, Greg wanted to go after him but was stopped by Terrance. “Mr. Bacher, he 

just wants to say hello to the kids because he finds them adorable. Is that not allowed?” 

“But…” Dilemma washed over Greg’s face. “This isn’t in line with the school’s regulations

because he’s a stranger to the children.”

“You’re wrong about that,” Terrance corrected. “He’s not a stranger to them.” 

Right after the words left his lips, Alaric had come to a stop in front of the kids. In the 

midst of playing, Nicole raised her head, and her eyes lit up when she saw that it was 

Alaric who approached them. “You’re Mr. Good Looks!” she exclaimed and tugged 

Nathan’s sleeve. “Nathan, he’s the handsome man on the plane that I told you about 

last time.” 

Nathan lifted his head and met Alaric’s eyes when he heard his sister gushing. It only 

took him just one look to recognize that Alaric was the one who helped him with the 

door at the airport. At that time, he was on the phone, but he still helped him out. After 

he paused for a few seconds, he greeted, “Hello, sir.” 

Alaric merely stood rooted on the spot, watching the children silently. For some 

unknown reason, maybe it was because this was the first time he was seeing them in 

the flesh in front of him instead of through the screen, they felt so real to him. Their 

features, breathing, and voice were so close, which made him feel like he was stepping 

on clouds, swaying shakily. Although they were real, it seemed like an illusion. While he 

was immersed in such thoughts, he slowly crouched down, and his eyes stopped for a 

few seconds on Nathan’s face before turning to Nicole. 

Perhaps Nicole was surprised that he wasn’t speaking and didn’t reply to her, she tilted 

her head with unblinking eyes. “Mr. Good Looks?” 

Alaric immediately snapped back to his senses as he reached out and placed his hand 

gently on her head. “Yeah?” he answered softly. 

Nearby, Terrance pointed at the scene and said with a smile, “Look, Mr. Bacher. I told 

you that he’s not a stranger to them. They know each other.” And he’s their father, at 

that, he added silently. Of course, he wouldn’t say this before any result was available. 

A stunned Greg watched the scene unfold before his eyes. “Do they know each other?“

 

I can’t believe that they know each other, he thought, recalling the things his wife had 

mentioned. It definitely didn’t help that the more he looked at Alaric and the twins, the 

more they resembled the man.
