“Here’s your red wine, sir,” said the stewardess. Suddenly, she noticed Nicole.
standing next to ric, and her countenance changed at once.

After setting the ss of red wine down before ric, she hurriedly apologized to
him, “Sorry, sir, is this child bothering you? I’ll get her out of here in a minute.” After
that, she turned to Nicole with a benevolent smile. “Sorry, sweetie, I forgot about you
just now. Return to your seat with me now, okay?”
Nicole looked at the stewardess, then at ric, who pursed his lips and was also
quite reluctant to be parted from her. Still, Nicole was a child, after all. After listening
to the stewardess‘ words, she nodded obediently and then turned to wave ric
goodbye without the slightest reluctance. “I gotta go, mister. It’s a pleasure to meet
you today.”
ric nodded and replied in a deep voice, “Mm–hmm. It’s my pleasure to meet you,
too.” He had no choice but to watch the stewardess take Nicole away. No matter
how much he loathed to part from her, she was someone else’s child, after all.
After she had left, ric found that much of his inner vexation had subsided. He
was no longer as ill–tempered and tetchy as when he first boarded the ne; even
the red wine in front of him didn’t appeal to him anymore. He had stomach trouble

and thus had to abstain from alcohol in the first ce. Since he had only ordered
the red wine on impulse just now, he didn’t touch it again. Furthermore, his mind
had gone to Nicole, to whom he couldn’t help feeling a peculiar attachment.
ric never found himself liking children before, but now… He fought back the urge
to go over and say hello to the two little ones. First of all, they must be on board with
their family. Not only the two of them, but their parents would certainly be there, too.
What was he supposed to say after abruptly going over to say hello? Hi, I’m Silent
Night, the one who regrly watches your children’s live stream?! He couldn’t even
bring himself to imagine what the scene would look like. Pursing his lips, he leaned
back in his seat and closed his eyes. Never mind, I’ll just wait and see. Perhaps she’ll
pass by here again, or we might run into each other again as we get off the ne. It
won’t seem that odd if we meet by coincidence.
Aftering back, Nicole immediately told her twin brother Nathan what had
happened just now.
The two little ones got together while exchanging whispers.
Watching them from the sidelines, Ethan couldn’t help but heave a sigh of
loneliness. He also wanted to have some adorable kids whispering to him. I must’ve

fallen under the spell of this lovely pair of twins. A momentter, he decided to
check on Victoria. Seeing that she was still deeply asleep, he was finally relieved.
Victoria slept through most of the flight home. When the flight prepared fornding,
she woke up for a while, but despite her knowing she was supposed to get up, her
bodily functions made her feel drowsy again. As a result, she sank back into sleep
soon afterward.
The first–ss passengers were privileged, so the stewardess came after the ne
came to aplete stop.
Ethan was almost done with the packing when he realized that Victoria was still
asleep. So, when the stewardess came over, he said, “Sorry, please let other
passengers get off first. We’ll get offst.”
“Alright.” The stewardess nodded in understanding.
Naturally, with Victoria still asleep and Ethan staying put, Nicole and Nathan had no
choice but to also sit in their seats waiting.

Chapter 191 He Wasn’t Hearing Things
Sitting alone in his seat, ric stared ahead with his thin lips pressed together.
The ne hadnded for a long time, but the two little ones had yet to show up.
After the little girl had left, ric’s mind shed back to the boy he had met in the
washroom, who was dressed in the exact same clothes as her. Seeing the little boy
struggle to open the door, he opened it for the boy, who then thanked him in return.
When he heard the boy thanking him, ric thought the boy’s voice sounded like
Nathan’s, but the boy then disappeared so quickly that he thought he was hearing.

However, the chance encounter with the little girl on the ne made him realize that
the “Thank you, mister,” he had heard in the washroom wasn’t his hallucination at all.
Therefore, after thinking it over, he decided he would like to see the two children
together. The sight of them standing before him in the exact same clothes would.
surely look as though they hade straight out of their live stream.
He waited for a long time, but there was nothing ahead until his assistant Terrance
came to him. “Mr. Cadogan? It’s time for us to get off the ne.”
ric fell silent for a moment. “Have all the other passengers gotten off the ne?”

“Yeah, that’s right.” Terrance nodded. He continued as if it were a matter of course,
“Everyone else has gotten off the ne, while you’ve been sitting here for a long
time.” Could Mr. Cadogan be afraid of seeing the economy–ss cabin and thus
wanted to stay in the first–ss cabin for a while longer? he wondered, but he dared
not ask or speak about it. Seeing that ric didn’t respond, he could only ask again,
“Mr. Cadogan?”
Returning to his senses, ric looked at him coldly.
“Uh…” Terrance summoned up his courage and urged, “We have to get off the ne.
Those sent by the Villower Group have been waiting for us for a long time.”
“One minute,” said ric.
“Huh?”
“One more minute and we’ll get off the ne,” replied ric. I’ll wait for another
minute. If the two children still don’t show up, then I’ll leave.
“Okay…” Not in a position to say anything else, Terrance had no choice but to stand
where he was and wait alongside the man. I mustn’t get the wrong seats for Mr.
Cadogan again next time. Look how he’s starting to get traumatized. He actually
stays in the first–ss cabin and is reluctant to get off the ne! he thought.

A minute passed very quickly, but the ne remained quiet.
ric never got to see the two children again.

His tall build cramped the space the moment he stood up. Unwilling to give up, he
stepped forward, wanting to go over to see what was going on with the two
children. Why aren’t theying over? Normally, with everyone else gone, they’d
have to get off the ne as well.
However, no sooner had he walked a few steps than Terrance stopped him, saying,
“Wait a minute, Mr. Cadogan. You’re heading the wrong way. The exit is this way.”
ric was speechless. Sometimes, he really wished he could smack this Terrance
guy, who always did more harm than good. Why would I agree to let Peter have his
cousin fill in for him after he resigned back then?
As he was pondering on it, the stewardess came over, too. “Sir.” Though not
explicitly, she was clearly indicating that they should get off the ne.
“Let’s go, Mr. Cadogan. We can’t stay on the ne anymore. In any case, you’re a half–public figure
now,” Terrance said before bracing himself to drag ric away.
“Goodbye, sir. Enjoy your trip!” said the stewardess.

Dragged off the ne by Terrance, ric red at him with a sour face. He said in
an icy voice, “Let go of me.”
Realizing what he had just done, Terrance instantly rxed his grip on the man
before smiling apologetically. “Sorry, Mr. Cadogan. I–I didn’t mean to touch you. We
were really in a hurry just now-” he said while starting to anxiously wipe his sweat
away. After all, ric hated it when others touched him without his consent.

Surprisingly, the next second, the man walked past him right away with a stony face,
as if nothing had ever happened just now.
