Chapter 306
I worked so hard at raising the kids for so many years, and he is going to snatch them
away from me just like that?
Victoria couldn’t help but clench her fists at her sides before she walked over slowly.
ric, who was still basking in the joy of watching the children eat, hadn’t noticed that
someone was approaching.
That was until…
“Mommy?”
Nicole was nibbling on a drumstick when she suddenly saw the figure standing behind
ric. When she raised her head and saw Victoria, she eximed in both surprise and
delight.
Meanwhile, ric stayed seated when he heard Victoria’s name. The smile on his lips
instantly yánished.
Even Nathan, who had been quietly eating, stopped munching and looked behind
ric, his gaze clearly evasive.

Wait a minute… ric pursed his lips slightly.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard Victoria address him, “Mr. Night?”
Upon hearing this, ric stopped for a moment before he slowly narrowed his eyes.

After a second, he lightly tapped his mrs with his tongue and took his time to stand
up, meeting Victoria’s gaze.
“Mommy, what are you doing here?” Nicole immediately put down the spoon in her
hand and wiped her mouth clean with a tissue before she went to hug Victoria’s leg.
Victoria was still in her high heels, so she stumbled a little when Nicole hugged her.
However, she regained her bnce fairly quickly.
“Miss Selwyn.”
Victoria had just stood up straight again when she saw ric politely extending hist
hand toward her.
Looking at thoserge hands, she quietly scoffed and calmly shook hands with him.
“Hello.”
Chapter 306 They Are My Children Too
She barely touched him before she let go, leaving ric no chance to shake her hand.

Nathan was watching from the side when he noticed this.
Mommy doesn’t seem like she likes Mr. Night a lot, he thought with a frown. But why?
After greeting him, Victoria pretended not to recognize him and looked at the table.
“Nicole, Nate, what did I tell you before? You can’t eat food from strangers.”
Hearing the word “strangers” made ric frown.
Apart from being the children’s father, he was also the “Silent Night” who had been
supporting their live stream.
And yet, she actually referred to him as a stranger in front of Nicole and Nathan.
The children didn’t say anything after hearing those words.
Victoria smiled and continued, “I’m sorry, Mr. Silent Night. I heard from Nicole and
Nathan that you always bring food for your nephew. These mischievous little ones.
alwayse to bum meals off of you, don’t they? How much do the meals they had
these few days cost? Shall I pay you?”
Her politeness and the distance between them were quite apparent. She clearly wanted
mun,

nothing to do with him.
Instead of answering her, ric only pressed his lips into a straight line and kept a
straight face.
It was Nicole who clung to Victoria’s leg who spoke up. “Mommy, he is Mr. Night. He
won’t ask us for money.”

Victoria’s lips twitched at Nicole’s words. It has only been a few days, but she is already.
siding with him? What would happen if they spent more time together?
With these thoughts in mind, Victoria could only lower her head and gently pat Nicole’s
head, whispering, “Mr. Night is an adult. When an adult offers a child some food, they
won’t ask for money. But as I taught you before, you can’t just eat food from strangers.
So, yes, I will definitely pay the money for you.”
Strangers.
ric unknowingly furrowed his eyebrows again. From the moment she appeared until
now, she had already used that word on him twice.
ric was not surprised by her behavior; otherwise, he wouldn’t havee earlier to try
to win the favor of the two children. He was worried that Victoria wouldn’t give him any

chance and wouldpletely reject him.
It turned out just as he expected.

And perhaps Nicole was an expert at pulling the rug from under other people’s feet, but
she spoke up again after hearing Victoria’s words, “But Mommy, we’ve received a lot of
money from Mr. Night during the live stream. And if Mr. Night is willing to be my daddy
in the future, he won’t be a stranger anymore.”
Victoria stayed silent at that, but the slight frown on ric’s face turned into a smile
when he heard Nicole’s words. His lips curled into a beautiful arc as he gave Nicole a
thumbs–up.
“You’re right, Nicole.”
Victoria’s eyebrows twitched uncontrobly. It wasn’t like she could do anything in front
of the children. She also didn’t want them to know about some of the grudges she held.
It wasn’t necessary to involve the children in her personal matters.
As she thought about this, she could only suggest to ric, “Mr. Night, how about we
find another ce to talk?”
Mon,
Chapter 306 They Are My Children Too
ric raised an eyebrow. “Alright.”
“Nicole, Nate,” Victoria called the names of the children. She then noticed Zack sitting
next to them. Judging from hisst name and demeanor, he probably wasn’t ric’s
rtive either. Since he was just a child, Victoria didn’t want to vent her anger on him.
She smiled at him as well and reminded them, “You three, be good and eat your lunch
here. Mr. Night and have something to talk about. We’ll be back soon.”
The three children nodded in unison.
After settling them down, Victoria turned to ric and started walking outside.
Seeing this, ric quietly and slowly caught up with her pace.
Instead of staying in the school vicinity, Victoria headed straight outside. The security
guard at the entrance greeted her when she walked by.
“Are you leaving already, Miss Selwyn? You just got here!”
Victoria smilingly gave him a nod.
After exchanging greetings, the guard suddenly noticed that someone was following
Victoria. He took a closer look, only to see that the man usually came to deliver food.

The guard wanted to greet the person behind Victoria. However, the words in his mouth.
seemed to disappear when he saw the unusually gloomy look on ric’s face.
He watched as the two of them walked out of the school gate with one person in front
of the other.
Soon after, the two of them stopped next to a car not far away.
The guard then sneaked a peek at the duo standing under the sun. They look like they
know each other, he thought.
After Victoria stopped walking, she could also hear ric’s footstepsing to a halt.
behind her. She turned around, her gaze filled with mockery as she red at him.
“Mr. Cadogan? Or should I call you Silent Night?”
ric pursed his lips slightly, his Adam’s apple bobbed as he replied, “You can call me
whatever you want.”

Victoria was suddenly at a loss for words upon hearing that unexpected reply. She
turned to the other side after a while. “I don’t care who you are,” she sneered, “and I
don’t care what you do. From now on, stay away from my children.”

ric chuckled softly. “Victoria, they are also my
children.”

The previouslyposed Victoria was instantly provoked by his words. She abruptly
turned her head, her beautiful eyes filled with anger. “What do you mean, they are your
children? What right do you have to say that? Do you have any evidence?”
Surprised to see her sudden outburst as if he had stepped on her sore spot, ric
sighed helplessly after a brief moment. “Do I even need evidence? I only have to look at
their appearances and facial features to know that they are my children.”
