Chapter 271
“Sir, what are you doing here?” Thest time Nicole saw him was on the ne, and for a
long time after that, she hadn’t seen him. So, she was surprised and curious to see him
here out of the blue.
ric couldn’t help but smile when he heard her sweet bell–like voice. Just based on
her voice alone, he reckoned that she was usually especially favored. There was also
no doubt that she would act cute just to get the cookie jar as it were. Exactly like the
way she was in the live broadcasts, she was a witty little girl.
“I’m here to visit the school and didn’t expect to bump into you two.” ric’s eyes swept
past Nathan.
In contrast, Nathan wasn’t anything close to cute, and neither was he as friendly as
Nicole. When ric crouched down, the look in the little guy’s eyes became defensive,
and he even silently held Nicole’s hand. This was his disy of resistance toward
ric, but it didn’t make him mad. On the other hand, he silently praised Nathan’s
reaction.
“Huh? Are you here to visit the school, Mr. Good Looks? Are you married? Do you have a
baby, too?” Being the curious toddler that she was, Nicole asked all sorts of questions.
Chapter 271 A Useful Identity
ric’s brows shot up, and he didn’t know how he should answer her for a moment.
After a few seconds, he took a nce at the defensive Nathan and said, “Don’t call me
Mr. Good Looks. Let’s change to a different address. You can call me Mr. Night.”

“Mr. Night?!”
“Are you Mr. Night?”
This time, both kids were shocked because they couldn’t believe that he was the Silent
Night who was tipping them on their broadcasts all the time.
ric quirked a brow at them and asked, “I don’t seem like him?” The kids went quiet at
his question. “Or you don’t believe that I’m Mr. Night?” Then, he whisked out his phone
and opened his ount to show it to the kids.
When he showed them his phone, Nicole’s head moved over to take a look. After she
saw it with her eyes, she gasped in delight and hugged him. “Mr. Night!”
ric held her with one arm and raised his gaze toward the other half of the twins.
When he saw that Nathan was still in the same spot, he couldn’t help but look a little
impressed as he thought, This little man is really wary.
“Aren’t you going to take a look?” he asked. Nathan took a look at him and dragged his
feet over. ric smirked as he passed the phone to him. “Would you like to make sure?
Or else, you might think that I’m a bad guy or an imposter.”
His words gave away the thoughts on Nathan’s mind, and even though the little guy’s
expression remained unchanged, his ears had turned red in embarrassment.
Nevertheless, he took over the phone and started to check. At first, he was a little stiff
and cautious, but when he saw that ric wasn’t reacting defensively, he started to
y with his phone in front of him. Once he ensured that ric was truly whom he said
he was repeatedly, only then did he return the phone to ric.
ric smiled as he looked at Nathan. “Are you done making sure? Are you still
suspicious of me now?”
Nathan quietly pursed his lips tightly together. On the other hand, after Nicole found out
that he was Silent Night, she hugged his arm even tighter, acting as intimate as she
would with her family. “Mr. Night, why didn’t you tell me that you’re Mr. Night on the
nest time?”
“Huh?” ric pretended to think. “Maybe it was my first time seeing you, so I was in a
daze.”
“Oh, then are you here today to sign up for your baby?”
Chapter 271 A Useful identity
ric didn’t think that this question would pop up again, and he contemted before.
chuckling. “My baby is already signed up. They’re in this school as well.”
“Really? What are their names?”
A smile spread across his face. “I’ll introduce them to you the next time if there’s a
chance.”
“Okay!”

Greg stood at a distance and was a little dumbstruck as he watched them chat away
happily. Due to their happy interaction, the little seed of suspicion grew into a massive
tree. So, he turned to Terrance and couldn’t help but voice his doubt, “Mr. Levane, may I
ask how they are rted?”
Terrance smiled slightly and merely retorted with a question, “Would you like to make a
guess?”
Greg stared at Terrance speechlessly as he thought, I don’t have the guts to do that!
As ric wasn’t formally rted to the kids and they had sses to attend, he left after
spending only twenty minutes with them. Nheless, although they had already

made it back to the car, it was obvious that he was in high spirits.
Terrance immediately noticed this and used this opportunity to pass the thermos to
him. “Mr. Cadogan, it’s cold today. Have something to keep yourself warm.”
Since ric was in a good mood, he readily epted the thermos Terrance passed to
him and took a couple of sips. In the thermos was the oatmeal powder drink that he
had prepared for him with warm milk. Right now, the temperature was just right, and his
stomach felt warm after having a few gulps.
Perhaps because ric was in an excellent mood today as he took a few more sips
under Terrance’s watchful gaze before returning the thermos to him.
“Mr. Cadogan, would you like to have more for the benefit of your health? After all…
you’re not alone now.”
ric’s hand paused mid–air while holding the thermos, and his almond–shaped eyes
lowered as though he was digesting Terrance’s words. A few secondster, he raised
his head and smiled. “You’re right.”
Terrance gaped at ric in stunned silence as he hadn’t seen ric smile from the
bottom of his heart like this for a very long time since he started working for him. Ever
since the passing of Old Mrs. Cadogan, Mr. Cadogan has locked himself away. So, is he
finally opening his heart now?
Hence, he stared as ric finished the oatmeal in the thermos slowly and kept the
thermos away when he was finished. While he twisted the lid on, he said, “Earlier when I
was watching you with the children, I thought that the scene was very beautiful, and
they truly resemble you. I even took a picture.”
ric’s eyes flickered at that. “Picture? Send it to me.”
Terrance sent the picture to his phone, and his lips instinctively curled upward after
seeing the picture. Meanwhile, Terrance was still speaking, “I thought that since you
were chatting away so happily, there wouldn’t be any harm if I took a picture in secret.
But I think the little boy seemed quite wary of you. He’s very mature for such a young
boy.”
ric pursed his lips. “It’s great that my child is vignt, lest he gets cheated one day.”
My child… Terrance sighed at his words. “Mr. Cadogan, is he your child? Aren’t you
going to do a paternity test?”
ric merely snorted as he asked, “Is there a need for that?”
Okay, it really seems unnecessary when they look so alike. Just the fact that Victoria
was the children’s mother and ny–nine percent of the children’s features took after
ric’s, if they were not his flesh and blood, then everything he knew about gics
and heredity was probably a lie. “What are we going to do next? Should we let Miss
Selwyn know about this?”
“No.” ric shook his head. If she found out about this, she would probably flee with
the kids yet again. Once that happened, not only could he not find them, but the kids

would also develop a strong dislike for him.
The thing he needed to do now was, increase his presence around the kids with his
identity as Silent Night. Today, he deliberately revealed this identity to them because
Nathan was too guarded against him, so he had no other choice but to use this
particr identity. Although it was a little despicable of him to take advantage of the
children’s naivety, he couldn’t deny that it was very useful.
