Chapter 305


    The next day, Victoria, as usual, sent the children to school as though nothing had


    happened yesterday.


    She went back to thepany after dropping off the kids..


    Once she arrived at the office, she received a call from Fiona..


    “Victoria, were you really alrightst night?”


    Although they had informed each other when they got home yesterday, Fiona decided


    to ask again at the thought of Victoria’s expressionst night.


    “I’m alright. Don’t worry about it.”


    “Are you sure? But you seem-”


    Victoria let out a soft sigh. “I’m really fine. It’s just that there are things I need to handle.


    I’ll tell you everything once I’ve sorted them out.”


    “Okay then. Let me know as soon as you’re done. Don’t tell Summer first.”


    Thest sentence made Victoria chuckle.

    “Okay, okay. Both of you will be the first ones I inform. We can have a call in the group,


    okay?”


    2/9


    “Good.”


    Satisfied, Fiona finally hung up after that.


    After the call ended, Victoria raised her hand and took a look at the time.


    There were still a few hours until noon.


    Even though she knew that getting anxious over this wouldn’t help with the situation in


    any way, she couldn’t get productive at work no matter how many times she tried.


    Even though she was an adult who knew she shouldn’t let her emotions get in the way


    of her work, she couldn’t help but waver now.


    She somehow managed to get through the morning, and when it was time for a lunch.


    break, she immediately shut down herputer, grabbed her bag, and hurried outside.


    But when she reached the doorway, she stopped in her tracks.


    No, I can’t go now.


    Mon,

    She was off from work for now, but it might not be the children’s recess period yet. She


    had to wait a bit longer and carefully time her arrival so that she could catch them


    red–handed.


    If she had gone earlier and ended up being noticed by ric, he might choose to not


    show up in front of her at all.


    Reason brought Victoria back to her senses, and she sat back at herputer desk


    while staring at the time. She waited until it was about time before leaving the office.


    As she walked out, she coincidentally bumped into Henry who came to see her.


    “I noticed that you hadn’te down, so I came to ask if you want to have lunch


    together.”


    To his surprise, Victoria hurriedly brushed past his shoulder as soon as he finished


    speaking and threw out, “I’m not eating. I have something to deal with at noon.”


    After saying that, she disappeared like the wind.


    She was already nowhere to be seen when Henry turned his head.


    “What could be so urgent for her to rush out like that?” He couldn’t help scratching his


    head


    By the time Victoria arrived at the school, the children who didn’t stay for lunch had


    already been picked up by their parents. Because of that, the school gates were closed

    With how quiet and empty the entrance was, Victoria immediately noticed another car


    the same ck car she had seen before–parked there.


    Since she had seen it before, and considering the recent events, Victoria was certain.


    that it belonged to ric.


    Her intuition rarely steered her in the wrong direction.


    She had felt someone watching her from the ck carst time, but since she hadn’t


    seen anyone inside, she thought that she had gotten it wrong.


    But now, Victoria was convinced that her intuition was always right.


    ric is right inside the ck car.


    This was the only overwhelming thought that consumed Victoria’s mind at this very


    moment.


    Mon,


    Chapter 305 The Confirmation


    After she took out the car key, she got out, closed the door, and walked slowly toward


    the school gate.

    Since she came to pick up the children every day, the security guard at the school gate


    recognized her. They greeted her when they saw her approaching.


    “Miss Selwyn! May I know what brought you here at this hour?”


    Victoria smiled at him and replied softly, “I happen to have some free time today and


    wanted toe and see the children. Can I go in now?”


    Hearing that, the security guard opened the gate and nodded with a smile. “Of course.


    Pleasee in.”


    Victoria nodded in return. As she walked in, she asked, “Did any other parentse


    today?”


    “No, I don’t think so.”


    Her heart skipped a beat at the reply. “None?”


    Did I make a mistake? Or did he know that I woulde?


    Scratching his head, the security guard seemingly remembered something when he

    suddenly said, “Oh, I apologize. I almost forgot about this man. I heard he usually came


    to deliver lunch for his child. He has beening quite oftentely.”


    Often? Deliver lunch?


    With this information, Victoria finally had an idea.


    This person delivering lunch was the one she was looking for.


    “By the way, Miss Selwyn, I often see your children ying with that man.”


    “Thank you. I’ll go and take a look.”


    “Alright, go ahead. You could probably have a meal together.”


    Have a meal together? Victoria only inwardly scoffed at those words. That is out of the


    question.


    Today, ric brought some fruit cocktails made by a pastry chef he specially hired. Not


    only did the dessert look beautiful, but it also tasted exquisite.


    As Nicole stuffed her mouth full, ric watched her from the side with a handkerchief


    Chapter 305 The Confirmation


    which he asionally used to wipe her mouth in his hand.

    Feeling embarrassed after the man did that a few times, the girl pushed his hand away


    and whined, “Mr. Night, have something to eat. Don’t worry about me!”


    “It’s okay. I’m not hungry.”


    “But Mr. Night, you haven’t had lunch, right?”


    “I will eatter. Go ahead and have more.”


    Nicole looked away and pondered for a moment, but instead of eating by herself, she


    picked up ric’s spoon and scooped a piece of chicken.


    “Let me feed you, Mr. Night.”


    ric paused at her action.


    He never thought that there woulde a day when his daughter would offer to feed


    him.


    As his hardened heart softened inch by inch, he gently stroked the back of Nicole’s.


    head. “I really am not hungry.”


    Mon.


    Chapter 305 The Confirmation


    “Mr. Night, please eat!” Nicole persistently urged.

    Seeing the girl struggling to hold the spoon up, ric lowered his head slightly and ate


    the piece of chicken meat she fed him.


    “Done. Now, you eat.”


    “Okay! You have to eat too, Mr. Night.”


    Surprisingly, ric found the piece of meat in his mouth delicious. Food had always


    been mere sustenance for him in the past.


    But now…


    With that in mind, ric looked at the little girl with an even softer gaze. He was


    along.


    Victoria stood still, and she almost burst intoughter despite her anger when she saw


    Nicole feeding ric with the spoon.


    As the children’s mother, she had never been fed by Nicole. It hadn’t been more than a


    few days since ric got close to the kids, and yet Nicole was already so partial to him!


    Mon,


    Chapter 305 The Confirmation


    While speechless, Victoria also found it rming.


    ric had approached and won over the two children without her consent or


    knowledge.


    What would happen if I hadn’t noticed this now?


    Would the kids turn to him instead?


    She immediately felt a coldness envelop her at those thoughts.
