ric pressed the elevator button. It happened to be empty, so he took her right inside.
“You’re an open book.”
Victoria pursed her lips and fell silent but subconsciously touched her face. Am I an
open book? When have I be so expressive?
Now that they were already inside the elevator, Victoria tried to wrest her hand away,
but ric held it tightly.
“ric, let go.”
The man smiled in response.
“How will Nicole and Nathan know we came to pick them up together if I let go?”
“Will you let go or not?”
However, ric ignored her, turning a deaf ear.
At that, Victoria continued to wrest her wrist away, but seeing that he still refused to let
go, she got annoyed and bit his arm.

Initially, ric had no intention of letting go, no matter how much she struggled. He
didn’t n to release the hand he had so skillfully held. After all, she was weaker than
her. However, he didn’t expect her to suddenly bite him.
Victoria wasn’t ying around when she bit him. Her teeth actually sank into his flesh.
ric felt a surge of pain in his wrist, causing him to grunt and loosen his grip slightly.
Taking advantage of that slight loosening, Victoria quickly withdrew her hand from his
grasp and took a few steps back, keeping a distance from him.
As she stepped back, ric frowned and looked at her. He noticed a hint of vibrant
blood staining her lips and stood there in a daze. After a moment, he lowered his head
and nced at his own arm, which had indeed been bruised. So, the crimson on her
lips was his blood…

The bloodstain made Victoria’s already alluring lips even more enticing. As ric gazed
at her, his eyes darkened involuntarily, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
Victoria, on the other hand, noticed him staring at her after she stepped back. She
thought he was upset because she had bitten him and expected him to confront her.
Little did she know that his gaze turned increasingly unsettling.
ric resembled a famished wolf right then, and she was his prey… He stood
motionless, waiting for the right moment to pounce on her and devour herpletely.

A chill ran down Victoria’s spine very quickly, and as the color in ric’s eyes grew
deeper, the elevator chimed, dispelling all other thoughts from their minds.

Victoria attempted to scurry out of the elevator, but she couldn’t even take a few steps.
when ric pulled her back into his embrace.
“Are you nuts, ric Cadogan?! Dare to touch me and see what happens!” she barked,
but ric only brushed his fingertips over her red lips, wiping away the traces of blood.
Victoria stared at the crimson of his fingertips, frozen in ce. It was blood… She
hadn’t noticed before. So, he was just wiping it off for me?
Upon realizing it, Victoria nced at his arm, intending to see how the wound was, but
he had already lowered his hand, and his sleeve covered the injury, blocking her view.
“Let’s go,” he said.
Unable to see his wrist, Victoria gave up andpiled.
The ce Bane lived was very quiet, and it took a while before someone answered the
door when Victoria pressed the doorbell.
The
person who answered the door was none other than Ethan, Bane’s assistant. Upon

seeing Victoria, he greeted her with a weing smile. “Miss Selwyn.”
Then, Ethan noticed ric standing behind Victoria, emanating a strong
possessiveness.
In the next second, the smile on Ethan’s face disappeared.
Unfortunately, Victoria’s mind was wholly upied by her two precious babies, so she
didn’t pay any attention to Ethan’s expression. She simply looked inside and asked, “Is
Bane inside, Ethan?”
“He is ” Ethan’s words were cut short as Victoria rushed in.
ric quickly followed after Victoria but was impeded by Ethan.

At that, ric shot the assistant a malicious re, causing thetter to tuck his neck in
intimidation and slowly withdraw his hand.
ric snorted coldly in response and strode in.
After entering, Victoria could hear Nicole’sughter from a distance, mixed with the
gentle voice of an adult male.

She followed the sound and eventually saw Bane, Nathan, and Nicole on the balcony.

There were several snacks and toys on the coffee table on the balcony. Nicole’s cheeks
were puffed up from eating, while Nathan sat somewhat reservedly.
When he saw her, he tugged on Nicole gently, calling her attention. “Nicole, Mommy’s
here.”
Nicole paused her chewing and then looked at Victoria before running toward her in the
next second.
Victoria crouched down calmly and embraced the little girl in her arms as Nathan
followed closely behind Nicole.
On the other hand, Bane, who had been sitting on the edge of the balcony, stood up.
There was a gentle smile on his lips, and his voice was soft. “Victoria, you’re here.”
Victoria’s eyes met Bane’s from a short distance away. She nodded at him and then
pursed her lips, not saying anything. Instead, she wiped away the crumbs from Nicole’s
mouth and said, “Look at you, all messy from eating. Are you a chubby piglet?”
“I’m not a chubby piglet! Chubby piglets aren’t cute!”

While the mother and daughter were talking, Bane approached them.

“I missed Nathan and Nicule when I passed by the school today, so I brought them over
to y. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about it. Hope I didn’t cause you any inconvenience.”
Victoria reluctantly tugged at her lips, about to speak, when a cold voice sounded from
behind.
“No inconveniences. We just spent a long time searching anxiously.”
Victoria turned her head to look at ric, whose tone wasn’t particrly friendly, and
signaled him with her eyes.
Haven’t you promised you wouldn’t have a conflict with Bane? Why are you speaking so
aggressively now?!
Bane’s gentle gaze shifted, and his smile lost its warmth as well when he saw ric.
But he concealed it well, returning to normal in two shakes as he turned to Victoria.
“Have you looked for a long time? Sorry for forgetting to tell you about this. It was
indeed my fault.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Victoria could only smile awkwardly. “Everyone has their
moments of carelessness.”

Bane smiled in response. “You haven’t had dinner, have you? Why don’t you join me?”

“No, thanks.” Victoria shook her head. “Dinner’s already been made at home. It’ll all go
to waste if we stay and eat. Maybe some other time.”
“Alright, I’ll have Ethan drive you then.”
However, before Victoria could refuse, ric spoke on her behalf, “No need. I’ll drive
her.”
Bane, who hadn’t wanted to acknowledge him, finally raised his gaze and looked at
ric.
Their eyes met in the air, and Victoria immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere.
