Chapter 167

    Chapter 167


    In the suburbs, there was a decently sized house with vintage decorations.


    “Mommy! Mommy!”


    After ending the live stream, the two children leaped into Victoria’s


    embrace from both sides. Their arms were wide open as they hugged her


    and breathed in her unique scent of body wash.


    The woman who crouched over and held Nicole had a slender figure. Her


    eyes were clear and cold like ss, and her eyshes were long and dark.


    She looked very radiant and beautiful.


    “Did you stop streaming?” When Victoria spoke, her voice was clear and


    bright like a spring.


    “Yes.” Nicole rubbed her face against Victoria’s neck and chin, mumbling


    adorably.


    Nathan nced at his sister, then said in a rtively steady voice, “Mommy,


    that man sent us lots of gifts again.”


    That man? Victoria was stunned. “The same old Mr. Night?”

    Nathan nodded, pursuing his tiny lips as he said, “I ryed what you said to


    Mr. Night, Mommy, but he won’t listen.”

    When Victoria heard that, she reached out and ruffled his hair, smiling


    faintly. “Never mind, then. Let’s just leave him be.”


    Not wishing the children to be troubled by this problem for long, she


    quickly changed the topic. “Are you hungry? What would you like to eat


    today?”


    The gluttonous Nicole immediately began listing out dishes. “Mommy, I


    want to eat fried shrimp today and also desserts after dinner.”


    Victoria turned toward Nathan. “What about you, Nathan? What would you


    like to eat?”


    Nathan’s voice was reserved. “Mommy, I’m okay with anything.” His


    thoughts were simple. If he asked for a dish, his mother would have to make


    more food.


    Even though he wanted to help her, both he and Nicole were too young.


    Their mother wouldn’t let them into the kitchen for real. Victoria noticed


    Nathan’s gaze, then sighed lightly. “You don’t want Mommy to overwork


    Chapter 167 Sent Lots of Gifts


    herself, right, Nathan? Don’t worry, I won’t have to work tonight, so I just


    have to make dinner.”

    “No, that’s not it…” Even though Nathan was slightly more considerate than


    Nicole, he was still a child, after all. Adults could see through children’s


    thoughts at a nce.


    “All right, I’ll make dinner, and you can do whatever you like. Give me one


    hour, all right?”


    “Thank you, Mommy. Mwah!” Nicole freely nted a kiss on Victoria’s


    cheek, then went back to her room to y with her dolls.


    After she left, Nathan whispered to Victoria, “Mommy, let me help you.”


    “Be good, Nathan. Go and y.” In the end, Nathan could only return to his


    room.


    After getting the two children into their rooms, she reached up and tied her


    hair, which reached her waist. Then, she grabbed an apron and put it on


    before walking into the kitchen.


    For the past few years, she had been taking care of the children on her own.


    When she first started, she didn’t know a lot of things, and she even


    Chapter 167 Sent Lots of Gifts


    scrambled to boil eggs, but for her children’s sake, Victoria learned a lot of


    things. She might be a hypocrite, but she simply wanted to care for her


    children well. She had to go to work but spent every minute of her free time


    with her children.

    They were a single-parent family, so she wanted to do as much as she could


    for the children, just like how her father raised her back then. Save for


    work, all her time was spent on her children to make up for the other


    missing parent.


    She didn’t know how to cook back then, but now, cooking was a piece of


    cake for her. Victoria cleaned the meat she bought, then marinated it.


    Marination required time, so Victoria went to deal with other tasks. When


    she was free, she remembered something, so she turned around and went


    to the living room. She took the phone the children used for live streaming.


    During the live stream today, her two darlings gained a lot of fans, and the


    were cute and dramatic.


    Among thements, the one that had the most likes was ‘How do you


    raise such obedient children?’ Sent Lots of Gifts


    She smiled, then replied mischievously, ‘This is my first time raising


    children, so I probably can’t provide any useful suggestions.’


    After that, she went to look at the day’s earnings.


    She wished she hadn’t. She found that Silent Night had given the two


    children lots of gifts again.


    She roughly calcted the day’s earnings, coupled with what they had


    earned in the past, and realized that they had earned a lot.


    Victoria didn’tck money to raise her children.


    The children were also live-streaming because of interest, so she didn’t


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    mind it as long as the children were happy. However, she never thought


    that they would earn so much from live-streaming. Anyway, the fans were


    quite interesting. She told them not to give gifts, and if they had to, they


    ould just send some gifts they got for free.


    However, this man called Silent Night would always give gifts in huge


    amounts.


    Victoria navigated out of the dashboard and found Silent Night’s ount.


    He had given so many gifts that it would be rude not to follow him back.


    However, even if they were mutual, Silent Night never posted anything on


    his ount, and the only ount he was following was the children’s.


    It was as if…


    The ount was made purely to watch her children’s streams. Also, they


    had followed each other for so long, but they never chatted.


    Victoria had never seen someone like this, who would silently watch the


    live streams and give gifts but never asked for anything. When Victoria


    found the ount, she noticed that the person was online, so she navigated


    to the chat room.


    ‘Hello, I’m Nathan’s and Nicole’s mother. May I know your name? Can I chat


    with you?’


    She wanted to pay him back. However, after the message was sent, there


    was no reply.


    Victoria thought that he must be busy, and the meat was about ready at the


    Sent Lots of Gifts


    time. So, she put the phone aside, then turned around and went into the


    kitchen to continue cooking.


    In the meeting room, there were quite a lot of foreigners at this meeting.


    ric sat on the leader’s seat as he listened expressionlessly to their vivid


    presentations paired with slides.


    Somewhere close by behind ric, Terrance was earnestly tidying the


    documents, and the intern beside him was scrambling to take notes and


    recordings.


    The intern was sweating as she felt the pressure weigh upon her. She felt


    that she had been too naive. A meeting like this was toorge for her, but


    ric was sitting there, looking calm as if he were sitting in his own office.


    She couldn’t help but be amazed, and she gave him a thumbs-up in her


    mind. Suddenly, ric’s phone vibrated twice in his pocket.


    ric never looked at phone messages in a meeting. It was the same today.


    So, the message didn’t affect him much.


    However, a momentter, he seemed to have thought of something as he


    Sent Lots of Gifts


    took out his phone in front of everyone.


    When the intern and Terrance saw him doing that, they were shocked.


    ric navigated to the app and realized that it was a message from the


    live-streaming ount. He raised an eyebrow ever so slightly.


    The ount had never messaged him since they were mutually connected


    half a year ago. They never tried to get on each other’s good side, so why did


    it message him of its own ord?
