Chapter 268


    “No chance?” ric chuckled softly. “Why do you think that I don’t have a chance?”


    When Terrance learned that Victoria had children who were already a few years old, he


    felt sorry for ric and said with a dejected look on his face, “Mr. Cadogan, her children


    are already toddlers, that goes to show that they have a father. If you continue down


    this road, you may end up as a homewrecker in the future. Do you really want your


    reputation to develop in that direction?”


    ric swept his gaze over him, as though he was looking at a ret ard, and Terrance


    couldn’t help but wonder what he said wrong.


    “Do you remember what you said before?”


    “What did I say? Will you please exin everything?” The way ric spoke was wearing


    down Terrance’s patience, and he had no idea what he was trying to say, so he sounded


    a little impatient. But right after that, he started to regret it. Even if I’m impatient, I


    shouldn’t have used this tone with him. Just when he wanted to apologize to ric, he


    realized that ric wasn’t mad at all and seemed to be in a rather good mood.


    “Have some patience and look at the picture again.” Once again, ric showed him the


    picture.


    Terrance frowned as he decided to look at the picture carefully despite the confusion in


    his heart but couldn’t find anything extraordinary about it. In the end, he asked, “Ar


    Cadogan, I’ve been staring at the picture with the utmost focus that I swear that if I’m


    capable of drilling holes into it, you’ll have a broken phone. What’s the problem with it?


    Aren’t they just Miss Selwyn’s kids?”


    A speechless ric looked at him doubtfully, wondering, Why does his brain suddenly


    stop working at this time? When nothing was happening before this, he coulde up


    with all sorts of nonsensical ideas, but now that something has truly happened, he


    couldn’t think of anything at all. With this thought in mind, he prompted him in


    annoyance, “Take a closer look at the children’s features.”


    Their features? Following his order, Terrance took a look again and said, “In all honesty,


    these kids have handsome features, and they look very simr to each other, but their


    temperaments are different. The girl is pretty, and the boy is also good-looking. It’s just


    that…”


    ric watched in resignation as Terrance deliberated the matter while scratching his


    chin. Frankly, it made him speechless that Terrance was still missing the point after


    saying everything yet nothing. “Just what?”


    “It’s just that these kids don’t look like Miss Selwyn. Instead, they look a little like-”


    Then, he abruptly trailed off mid-sentence, paused for a few seconds, and turned to


    ric in astonishment. Then, he checked the two kids again to confirm his suspicion,


    and after checking a few times consecutively, he gulped, “Y-You,”


    “Yes.” ric calmly looked at him and said in a steady voice, “Finish your sentence


    earlier. Whom do they look like?”


    By now, Terrance had already cursed a few times silently in disbelief, but after he had


    this idea in his mind, they really did resemble ric. Especially the little boy in the


    picture, who looked like an exact copy of ric. He did mention something about it in


    the past, but he hadn’t really thought anything of it at the time. After all, who would


    have thought that ric already had children? But now, these are Miss Selwyn’s kids


    and they’re already so big. Maybe…


    “Speak,” ric urged with a frown.


    After a few seconds in silence, Terrance said firmly, “They look like you, Mr. Cadogan,


    they really do. I’ve mentioned that these kids resemble you a little, but I wasn’t really


    thinking at that time. Now… If these kids are rted to you, that means, five years ago,


    Miss Selwyn was already…”


    This was the question ric was thinking about as well. “Mr. Cadogan, you… didn’t


    know about it?” The way Terrance looked at ric had changed, like he had so many


    things to say but couldn’t.


    ric pursed his lips, and his eyes were dark. He, too, wanted to know why he had no


    idea about this. “Pack up. We’re going to Jasea.”


    Terrance nodded. “We’re all packed. When are we going?”


    “Right now,” ric answered with a serious look. Before he boarded the flight, he said


    to Terrance, “Send someone to find out where the kids are and how they’re doing now. I


    want it in detail.”


    “Okay, Mr. Cadogan. I’ll make the necessary arrangements now.”


    When they were on the flight, ric kept looking out the window, but he couldn’t see


    anything. Who would have thought that Nicole and Nathan could be his children? That


    exined why they always seemed special to him. So, this was the reason! Now that he


    was sure that they were his children, all the pain and unease had seemingly


    disappeared.


    Terrance had aptop on hisp as he took a seat next to him and whispered, “Mr.


    Cadogan, I’ve sent someone to investigate the matter. We’ll receive the information


    tonight or tomorrow thetest.”


    “Okay.”


    Terrance stole a look at ric before looking away. Until now, he was still in shock


    100%


    because he never imagined that things would take such a dramatic turn. Those two


    kids may be Mr. Cadogan’s children…

    Before this, he had been wondering why the usually aloof ric liked watching the live


    broadcast of two kids without reason. He had even spent a considerable sum on the


    channel. As it turned out, The Universe was leading their paths toward certain things,


    and Fate would always bind those who were fated without them realizing.


    Although they still didn’t know the results of the investigations, judging from the simr


    features, Terrance reckoned that the chances of their assumptionsing true were


    very high. All we have to do now is wait for the results.


    After work, Victoria left her office and went to Fiona’s ce to pick up her kids. The


    ce she went to was the quaint ce, where Fiona was still living.


    Fiona didn’t really feel as though anything was off, but when Victoria stepped into the


    living room, she recalled the scene when she chased Victoria away and felt incredibly


    remorseful. So, she apologized to Victoria when she got close, saying guiltily, “I’m sorry


    about what happenedst time.”


    Victoria’s first reaction was surprise. However, the very next second, she said lightly,


    “It’s not a big deal.” She had already let the matter slide, so it really wasn’t a big deal.


    “I really don’t know if I had lost my mind at the time. How could I tell you to leave


    because of this? I rented this ce because you’re back, but I didn’t imagine that I’d


    actually… I’m sorry.” Fiona’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke, and she dashed to


    Victoria and hugged her. “I’m really sorry.”


    This scene was hidden from the kids in the room, and Victoria returned her hug, patting


    her gently on her back. “Never mind. If I’m truly upset with you, do you think I’ll bring the


    kids along to look for you? The fact that I came looking for you means that I never once


    took your words to heart.”

    “It’s precisely because you came looking that made me feel so guilty. You cherish this


    friendship, but I destroyed it so easily.”


    “No, you didn’t.” Victoria chuckled softly. “Even if you don’t want to be friends with me


    any longer, I still do. So, don’t worry about it anymore, okay?”


    Fionaid her head on Victoria’s shoulder and sniffled a few times before pulling away


    with reddened eyes and was filled with even more regret when she recalled the call she


    had with ric today.


    She wanted to make things clear to Victoria, but she swallowed


    back the words before they managed to fall from her lips. Forget it. Judging from how


    she is, I don’t think she’ll mind it.
