Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s )
Departure with a Belly Chapter 304

Chapter 304 

1/8 

“What’s the matter, Mommy?” 

She must have been lost in her thoughts for too long that the little ones began to sense 

that something was amiss. When she turned her head, she saw Nicole and Nathan. 

looking at her with worry all over their faces. 

Victoria pursed her lips and forced a smile after a while. 

“It’s nothing. I was just thinking about work.” 

As innocent as Nicole was, she didn’t doubt any further and accepted her mother’s 

explanation. However, Nathan still wore a concerned expression and he didn’t say a 

word. 

“Just stop thinking about it, Mommy. You are done with work for today!” Nicole stood 

up and hugged her arm while whining in a soft and adorable voice. 

“Alright, I know. Well, I have some questions for the two of you. Permission to ask?” 

Nicole nodded in reply. 

“Did Mr. Night go to your school today during lunchtime?”

Both the children shook their heads in unison. 

Upon seeing their response, Victoria narrowed her eyes slightly. 

“He went yesterday and the day before, but not today?”

“Uh–huh.” Nicole obediently nodded. “Zack said his uncle must be busy with work, so he 

couldn’t come today. But another mister brought us our meal on behalf of Mr. Night.” 

“Another man?” 

Victoria lowered her gaze. She was with Alaric during lunchtime, and if Alaric was 

indeed Silent Night, he wouldn’t have had a chance to go to the school to see Nicole 

and Nathan. 

“Yup! I think he’s Mr. Night’s assistant. Mommy, Mr. Night is amazing. He even has an 

assistant. I could tell right away that he must be very rich. Also, I helped you ask 

something, Mommy. Mr. Night is single.” 

Victoria didn’t answer Nicole, who was secretly hoping to make Silent Night her father. 

She couldn’t believe how coincidental things were. 

Nicole had never wanted anyone else in the past who treated Victoria well to be her

father, but when it came to Silent Night…. 

E 

Thinking about this, Victoria held Nicole in her arms and gently stroked her hair as she 

asked softly, “Nicole, tell me honestly. Did Mr. Night try to persuade you into thinking of 

him as your daddy?” 

When it came to this topic, Victoria deliberately spoke in a more solemn tone. She was 

worried that the girl would be too naive to understand. 

After thinking for a while, she added, “What I mean is, did he bring up the topic of being 

your daddy, or did you bring it up first?” 

Nicole pondered for a long time before answering, “Mommy, I was the one who brought 

it up first.” 

Quietly, Victoria took a deep breath and chuckled. “Nicole, please tell me the truth. You 

can’t speak on behalf of Mr. Night just because you like him.” 

“But Mommy, I’m telling the truth.” 

“Nicole…” 

At that moment, Nathan, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up. “Mommy, I can

testify that what Nicole said is true.” 

Upon hearing this, Nicole paused and looked at Nathan beside her. 

Nicole and Nathan were different. Nicole, who was more naive, might not understand 

nor have the capacity to understand what Victoria meant. However, Nathan was the 

type that meant every word he said. If he said that it was true, it could never be false. 

“So, what you’re saying is that Nicole was the one who brought it up?” 

4/8 

Nathan nodded. As he recalled what happened that day, he began to tell Victoria the 

whole story. No matter how good his memory was, he was still a child. Because of that, 

he spoke in choppy sentences about some of the things he managed to remember. He 

said whatever that came to mind. Sitting next to him, Nicole quietly listened, but she 

would occasionally echo her brother’s words. 

By the time the conversation came to an end, Victoria already had an idea of what 

exactly transpired that day. 

She eventually let out a resigned sigh before she reached out and lightly pinched 

Nicole’s nose. 

“You silly girl. You want him to be your daddy just because he is nice to you! Didn’t I

teach you not to easily trust strangers?” 

5/8 

“Hmm!” Nicole covered her nose and pouted. “But Mommy, I don’t think Mr. Night is a 

bad guy. I like him a lot!” 

Victoria came to a halt upon hearing that. 

“You like him, huh?” 

“Yeah!” Nicole gave a big nod. “Mr. Night feels like Daddy. Mommy, can you make Mr. 

Night my and Nathan’s daddy, please? Nathan likes Mr. Night a lot, too!” 

Nicole turned to look at Nathan. 

When the boy met her eyes, there was a sudden hint of panic in his gaze. He even 

looked like he started avoiding looking at her. 

“Nathan?” 

“N–No, Mommy. I d–don’t like Mr. Night.” 

As someone who raised the children, Victoria knew the kids‘ personalities better than 

anyone else. This was the first time Victoria had seen her son nervously avoid her.

It seemed like not only Nicole but Nathan also liked “Silent Night“. 

It was a pity, though. 

6/8 

If Silent Night was exactly whom he claimed he was, Nicole could still see a possibility 

of working things out with him. 

But Silent Night is… 

After Victoria stopped talking, silence filled the car. Nicole eventually even fell asleep in 

Victoria’s arms. 

When they arrived home, Victoria carried her to the room. She happened to run into 

Nathan waiting for her at the door as she came out. 

“Mommy.” Nathan’s youthful face was laced with nervousness as he looked up 

at 

Victoria. “Do you not like us being with Mr. Night?” 

Victoria suddenly didn’t have an answer to that question. She only crouched down and 

rubbed Nathan’s head. 

“It’s late. How about you hit the sack, hmm?” 

Despite looking worried, Nathan ended up obediently nodding.

After the kids went back to their rooms, Victoria returned to her own room. She took 

out her phone and looked at her WhatsApp which she had added Silent Night. 

7/2 

With a thought in mind, she clicked on the search bar and typed in a certain person’s 

phone number. 

After typing the last digit, she clicked search. 

As expected, the search results corresponded to Silent Night’s account. 

Sitting on the couch, Victoria fell into silence with her phone in her hand. 

He has been watching the live stream for a long time, giving gifts to the children 

without doing much else. 

I wonder when he found out the truth. 

Was it when he first appeared in the live stream? 

She quickly dismissed the thought. 

I don’t think so. If he had known at that time, he wouldn’t have only sent gifts without 

showing himself.

8/8 

Alaric was someone who took action. Based on his recent actions and the information. 

he obtained from Fiona, he should have found out when he returned from Jasea. That 

was why he remained silent for a long time after adding her and suddenly messaged 

her. 

Right. It must have been during that time. So, if he doesn’t meet me tomorrow, he will 

definitely go to Nathan and Nicole at noon. 

If she wanted to make the final confirmation, it would be at noon tomorrow.
