Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 346

When Victoria saw the densely packed content on the paper, she was filled with shock.

This is definitely his handwriting, but how can he do this overnight?

When she recalled the glance they shared earlier, Alaric’s dark circles seemed more

severe than her own, despite his overall well–groomed appearance.

After she hastily flipped through a few pages, she closed the folder and returned it to

him.

Alaric was somewhat taken aback. “You… finished reading it?”

She merely graced him with an indifferent nod.

At her response, he looked doubtful. So, he didn’t dare to take the papers back just yet.

“That was fast. Did you finish the whole thing?”

“I did.” Her tone remained dispassionate.

He glanced at her again. She said she had finished it, but her nonchalant attitude and

indifferent tone clearly show that she doesn’t care about the design. As he was

somewhat dissatisfied, he pursed his lips and spoke up, “Does this design not meet

Chapter 346 They’re My Ex–husband’s

your expectations?”

Victoria didn’t answer. Instead, she smiled faintly at him and replied, “Thanks for finding

someone to work on this design overnight.”

Alaric pressed his lips together as he stared at her. For a moment, he didn’t know

whether she genuinely couldn’t tell that he was the one who drew the design or if she

intentionally said those words to provoke him.

After he pondered things over, he didn’t say anything further. Instead, he took the

design and showed it to the two children.

She was quite surprised at his action, for she thought he would explain that he was the

one who drew the design. Well, it’s out of my expectations for him to not say anything.

However, in the next second, her naive daughter, Nicole, became his little helper. Nicole

suddenly looked at the densely packed design and curiously asked, “Wow, Mr. Night, did

you draw this?”

Victoria became speechless at her daughter’s words. Oh, my precious daughter. If it

weren’t for your limited intelligence at the age of five, I would have thought that

were deliberately undermining my position.

It was obvious that Alaric was quite satisfied with this question. There was a faint smile

on his lips as he reached out and gently caressed Nicole’s little head, whispering,

“That’s right. I drew them.”

“Wow.” Although she didn’t understand what he drew, seeing the densely packed

content made her feel that he was amazing. “You’re so talented, Mr. Night.”

What a feeling it was to be praised by his daughter! He was on cloud nine at this

moment, floating lightly due to her praise. “Look, Nicole. This house that I drew has

everything in it. If you were to live in a house like this, would you like it?”

“I would love it!” Nicole answered loudly.

Meanwhile, Nathan secretly glanced at Victoria. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

At this moment, Victoria was at a loss for words. She rested her forehead against her

palm as she slowly turned around, deciding not to bother looking at such a sore sight. If

Alaric wants to take my children away from me, I feel that he can have Nicole

effortlessly. Just a gesture from him, and she might follow him willingly.

The thought of her child, whom she had raised with such effort, being less attached to

her than to her newly acquainted father left her with a tinge of bitterness.

Regardless, even if she felt hurt, she hadn’t once shown her displeasure. She was the

mother, after all, and she couldn’t be petty with a child.

Just then, the driver stopped the car not far from a breakfast stall and turned back

awkwardly, saying, “Mr. Cadogan, it’s probably not possible to go any further.

Everyone looked ahead in response. There were two streets ahead, one being a main

road and the other leading to a nearby market. The sides of the road were lined with

shops, and in the morning, when they weren’t open for business, they left the area near

the entrance for street vendors. Many vendors were selling various items and calling

out to attract buyers.

Where there were sellers, there were also buyers, and most people were out running

errands at this time. While it wouldn’t be a problem to drive into the area, it would

probably take a long time to finally reach the proverbial end of the tunnel. If they were

only here for breakfast today and didn’t need to rush for school, they could keep going,

but…

Victoria was about to speak when she heard Alaric say, “Let’s walk there, then.” He stole

her line. She shot him a dissatisfied look at the back of his head.

“Let’s go.” He gathered the two children’s school bags, then got out of the car with the

two little ones.

The driver immediately said, “I’ll wait for you in the car, Mr. Cadogan.”

Alaric nodded in agreement.

Victoria had no choice but to get out of the car as well.

After she had done so, she glanced at his attire and mocked, “Are you sure you want to

wear your expensive suit and accompany us to eat waffles at the stall?”

At her question, he looked back at her. “Is there a problem? Your attire is eye–catching

too.”

She instinctively looked down at her attire. She was dressed quite simply and casually,

wearing black pants and a sky–blue sweater, with a beige long coat layered on top. This

kind of outfit was simple.

“Do you not believe me?” Alaric smirked. “Look around you.”

Only then did she have a mind to observe their surroundings. As soon as they got out of

the car, the crowd’s gazes gathered on them. Some were shooting odd looks at her,

some were sizing Alaric up, and some even looked at the two children.

“Don’t worry about what you wear. Considering your looks, those people will still look at

you even if you show up wearing a potato sack,” he said suddenly.

Victoria was taken aback by his backhanded compliment.

“Come on, then.” Alaric carried one child and held the hand of the other, taking the lead.

Victoria reflexively followed his steps, and after two steps, she suddenly realized

something. Did he actually compliment me?

Sure enough, when they appeared in front of the waffle stall, they attracted a lot of

unwanted attention. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, plus an adorable pair of

children, drew almost everyone’s attention.

People had a hard time resisting good–looking things. Although they might not have

any thoughts in their minds, their eyes and glances occasionally shifted toward them.

They took one glance after another since it was pleasing to the eyes just to look.

Even the stall owner gave them two extra waffles because of how adorable the children

were. “Are you a couple?”

Just as Victoria was about to deny it, she heard Alaric say, “You have good eyes.” This

left her speechless.

Instantly, the stall owner burst into laughter. “I knew it. Your children wouldn’t have

turned out so adorable if their parents weren’t good–looking.” He spoke with a

distinctive accent, but Victoria couldn’t tell where he was from.

At the thought of what Alaric had said, she smiled at the stall owner and explained,

“Actually, we’re not a couple.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“He has a wife.”

The stall owner’s actions froze momentarily, and even the mirth in Alaric’s eyes froze.

“He has a wife, but he’s still pursuing me. I rejected him.”

The stall owner’s eyes widened in shock. “Then, those two children…”

A faint smile played on her lips. “They’re my ex–husband’s.”
