Chapter 188


    “No, no,” Victoria repeated,


    “There’s really no need, Mr. Hudson,” she continued,


    “Please, Miss Selwyn. I’m strong enough to push you along while pulling the other


    suitcases,” Ethan insisted.


    “If you must push someone…” Victoria said, “Nicole, get on the suitcase and let Mr.


    Hudson push you around.”


    “Okay, Mommy,” Nicole responded,


    She was a smart kid. Soon after Victoria’s suggestion, she climbed onto the


    suitcase. However, she had a somewhat difficult time with the climb. She held a tiny


    hand out to Ethan and sweetly called out, “Mr. Hudson, help me.”


    Ethan subconsciously grabbed her arm and helped her up to sit on the suitcase.


    Ethan only realized what had happened after Nicole was properly seated.


    “Wall, Miss Selwyn, what I mean is…”

    “Nicole is tired. I leave her in your hands, Mr. Hudson. Nathan, grab your suitcase.


    Pull it yourself,” Victoria interrupted.


    “Okay,” Nathan said.


    The two children were especially obedient. They basically did anything that Victoria


    told them to.


    Eventually, Ethan had no choice but to push Nicole along on the suitcase.


    “Thank you, Mr. Hudson,” Nicole apologetically repeated to Ethan. She was so cute


    that the only reply Ethan could muster was, “Good girl. Hold on tight. We don’t want


    you falling.”


    They had booked first–ss tickets.


    Ethan had nned on leading Victoria to the lounge to rest for a while, but they had


    spent so much time dilly–dallying that boarding had started by the time they arrived


    at their gate.


    Thus, they had to board the ne first.


    Victoria was eager to finally sit down. The ne should be warmer than the airport,

    and she could even ask the air hostess for a nketter.


    “We can board the ne now, Mr. Cadogan,” Terrance remarked from beside ric.


    ric nodded with a nk face.


    “Oh, right. Mr. Cadogan, I have more news,” Terrance said,


    ric turned to look at him in confusion.

    “We have to line upter,” Terrance continued.


    “What do you mean by that?” ric froze in his tracks.


    “Well, when I bought the ticketsst night, there were no first–ss seats avable.”


    With ric’s intense gaze trained on him, Terrance forced himself to continue his


    exnation. “They were out of business–ss seats. In the end, I had to book


    economy–ss tickets.”


    Everything seemed toe to a standstill once he was done speaking.


    Terrance looked at ric with a conflicted look in his eyes.

    “Mr. Cadogan, we were unlucky when we booked our tickets. These seats would


    rarely be sold out. I don’t know what’s going on with today’s flight. Don’t worry,


    though. I’ll ask aroundter to see if anyone in the first ss is willing to swap seats


    with you. I’ll ensure you can get through your flight infort. For now, we’ll have to


    line up.”

    Terrance led ric over to the queue as ric continued to stare at him with sharp


    eyes.


    ric was a tall and handsome man whose beauty was not hard on the eyes and


    constantly radiated an air of elegance. Thus, as he waited in line, many girls stared


    at him.


    The flight they were taking had a lot of foreign passengers.


    These passengers were bolder and more friendly than the others. Their gazes


    burned as they looked at him up and down. They even began whispering to each


    other about him. Some of them would wink or shoot flirtatious looks at him as they


    passed by.


    ric did not respond in any way at all to the reactions he garnered.


    Terrance sneakily nced at ric. When he saw how dark the look on ric’s face.


    Chapter 188 Boarding


    was, he swiftly looked away.


    He, too, did not want to line up if it was at all possible.


    Once they were past the gates, ric grimly marched ahead while Terrance raced to


    keep up.


    “I’m so very sorry, Mr. Cadogan. It’s my fault. I had not expected the flight to be


    booked out,” he said.


    ric abruptly stopped in his tracks and turned to shoot Terrance with a sharp look.


    “Terrance Levane, if this ever happens again, you’ll be terminated immediately,” he


    snapped out.


    “Yes, sir. It won’t happen again, sir. I promise, sir. This was unexpected,” Terrance


    hurriedly replied.


    Once on the ne, ric headed to the first–ss seating area as usual.


    “Wee onboard,” the air hostesses greeted.


    The eyes of every air hostess they walked past lit up with delight when he walked


    past them.

    “Sir, your ticket…”


    The moment the air hostess spoke up, Terrance promptly handed over their tickets.


    from behind ric.


    The air hostess took one nce at their tickets and stopped ric from moving


    toward the first–ss seating area. “Excuse me, sir, but your seats are this way.”


    ric paused.


    The air hostess continued to smile as she gestured toward the economy–ss


    seating area. “This way,


    sir.”


    The people who were boarding were now looking at them.


    Their eyes betrayed their curiosity and judgmental thoughts as they stared at ric.


    Terrance was at a loss for words.


    He was doomed.


    He would be yelled at again.


    “Sir?” the air hostess asked once more when ric did not move.

    Next thing she knew, he snatched his ticket from her and coldly marched to the


    economy ss seating area. As he passed by Terrance, he barked out, “Do not let


    me see you again once we’re back.”


    Terrance was bawling on the inside. He quickly said to the air hostess, “Excuse me,


    but we have a friend up ahead in the first ss. Since the ne isn’t leaving just yet,


    can I head over for a minute?”


    The air hostess paused in astonishment before nodding.


    In the first–ss seating area.


    Victoria’s group had bought their tickets early on. Thus, they were mostly seated


    together.


    As Victoria was not feeling well, they decided to give her the seat by the window.


    Once they boarded the ne, her cramps increased in intensity. Ethan helped her


    ask for a thick nket from the air hostess. Then, she curled up in her seat and fell


    asleep.


    Not long after she closed her eyes, she heard Nathan softly call out to her.


    “Mommy.”

    No matter how much pain she was in, she still swiftly opened her eyes in response


    to her child’s call.


    “What is it, Nathan?”


    “This is for you,” he replied.


    He was holding out an eye mask to her.


    She paused upon seeing it and chuckled.


    “Thank you, Nathan. Could you help me put it on?” she asked.


    “Okay.”

    Nathan leaned over to slide the eye mask over her eyes. His motions were as gentle


    as could be, just like the caring boy he was.


    “All done, Mommy.”


    “Thank you, Nathan. Well, I’m going to sleep now. Can you help me take care of


    Nicole and yourself?”


    Nathan instantly nodded.


    You Ane to take owe of yourself 200. All right. I’m going to sleep now


    Dont worry, Miss Selwyn. I take care of them. You focus on resting.


    Thest sentence was spoken by Ethan who had abruptly chimed in


    He was a very thorough man in his work, and he was on a mission from Bane. He


    could take care of both the children and her


    Indeed, Victoria did not need to wONTY,


    She soon fell into a deep sleep.


    Due to how cold it was, she pulled her nket up high, covering her entire neck and


    jaw. The only part of her that was visible was her nose which was left unobscured


    for breathing.


    Just then, Terrance arrived at the first–ss seating area.
