Staying any longer will definitely lead to trouble.

home. It’s prettyte. He should go home for dinner too. I’ll take Nicole and Nathan.
home myself.”
Sure enough, Bane’s attention was drawn to her as soon as she spoke.
“Are you sure you don’t need a ride?” Facing her, Bane could still maintain a gentle
expression.
“I’m sure. I can manage on my own.”
“Alright then, take care and call me if you need anything.”
“Sure.” Victoria nodded. “Got it.”
Before they left, Bane handed a small bag to Nicole. “This is for Nicole and Nathan.”
“No-”
“Just take it. Nicole already epted it earlier.”

Unfortunately, Victoria had no choice but to let Nicole take the small bag. After bidding
Bane farewell, she prepared to leave when ric, who had been standing aside,
suddenly approached her and stooped down to pick up Nathan, lifting him up in his
arms.
Startled, the little boy instinctively held onto ric’s neck, his tiny body tensing up.
It was his first time being in ric’s arms, and it felt… Soforting. It feelspletely
different from being held by other misters.
Victoria didn’t make much of it either, as she only wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Bane, on the other hand, stood expressionlessly rooted to the spot, watching as the
two of them left, each holding a child in their arms.
Momentster, Ethan went up to Bane with indignation, saying, “Mr. Morison, this man
actually had the audacity toe to your doorstep. It’s outrageous.”
Bane snorted in response but didn’t reply to him. Instead, he returned to the balcony,
sat down, and picked up the twins‘ leftover drinks.
At that, Ethan went up to Bane and said, “Sir, the twins have drunk from it. Let me get This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
you a new one.”

“It’s fine.”
With that, Bane took a couple of sips from the cup, and Ethan, observing the scene,
found his thoughts incrediblyplicated.
It was evident that Bane truly cared for the twins as if they were his own. Even though
they weren’t his biological children, his love for Victoria was so profound that he didn’t
mind. Otherwise, why would he eat the leftovers from the twins?
As much as Ethan found the twins adorable and wished he had a pair like them of his
own, he wouldn’t eat the leftovers they left behind. However, if they were his own
children, he would happily do so.
If Mr. Morison could be together with Miss Selwyn, he would surely treat her and her
children incredibly well. Buttely…
That day at the hospital, he found Bane leaning against the wall from a distance, with
his tousled hair falling down and covering his eyes.
He wasn’t wearing his sses; they were held in his hand, and the lenses were even
broken.
Grave grimness surrounded him, and Ethan could feel the terrifying energy emanating

from him without even looking at his face.
Having witnessed Bane’s past terrifying nature, Ethan thought the man had changed
for the better in these five years, and to suddenly see Bane like this again, he found it
difficult to ept.

Hence, Ethan stood there for a while, mentally preparing himself, before finally
approaching Bane, who lifted his head when he heard the footsteps. “You’re here. Take
care of the rest.”
“Yes, sir.” Ethan nodded, not even daring to look Bane in the eyes. “I will handle
everything. Rest assured.”
“Mm.” Bane left after entrusting Ethan with the issue.
Meanwhile, Ethan felt an impending storm as he stood in ce, watching his lonely
figure recede into the distance.
He figured something must’ve happened between Bane and Victoria, and sure enough,
Bane didn’t leave the house for the following consecutive days. Instead, he stayed
silently in his spot. He didn’t seek out Victoria either, nor did Victoriae to see him. It
was as though the two were strangers, suddenly losing contact.

Until this day…
Bane barely had his lunch when he put his spoon down and said to Ethan, “Ethan,
pick up Nicole and Nathan after school. I miss them.”
Ethan nodded, obliging at once. “Alright, Mr. Morison, we’ll goter.”

With that, Ethan apanied Bane to the kindergarten and brought the twins home.

During the car ride, Ethan asked, “Mr. Morison, Miss Selwyn probably doesn’t know that
we’ve taken Nathan and Nicole with us. Should we inform her so that she doesn’t
worry?”
“Haven’t we already informed her when we came?” Bane smiled at him.
Although it was a gentle smile, it sent shivers down Ethan’s spine. He shut up at once,
for they didn’t notify Victoria at all, despite Bane’s im that they did…
He dared not speak further, afraid that the me would eventually fall on him. After all,
he was just an assistant, and many things were beyond his control.
He would only do as his superior said.
Snapping back to reality, Ethan turned to look at Bane.
Mon,

The terrifying aura had returned to Bane. Ethan could only hope that Victoria would

if things continued like this.
In his contemtion, Ethan suddenly noticed Bane’s gaze shifting downstairs.
Following his line of sight, Ethan saw Victoria holding Nicole as they walked out, with
ric carrying Nathan closely behind them.
The man was tall and the woman delicate; their figures perfectly matched under the
glow of the streetlights.
Then again, someone like Miss Selwyn, with her stature and grace, would be
made in heaven, should she stand beside him.
At that, Ethan snuck a nce at Bane and found that he was wearing his usual
expression, seemingly unconcerned. But the more Bane appeared unaffected, the more
fearful Ethan became.
If this isn’t the calm before the storm, then I don’t know what is! And this low pressure…
“Shall we do something, sir?”
Mon,
Chapter 313 No Trouble at All
Bane smiled faintly but didn’t respond.
Meanwhile, outside, Victoria’s steps came to a halt after walking for a while, and she
turned to ric. “Thank you for your help today, Mr. Night. You can put Nathan down
now. I can take a cab back by myself.”

Her address to him made ric pause for a moment, and he gazed at Victoria with a
subtle smile. “Silent Night is just my username. My surname is ric Cadogan. You can
call me ric.”
Victoria was stumped, surprised that he would introduce himself in front of the
children. How shameless.
s, before she could respond, ric continued, “My car is parked right here. I can give
you guys a ride back.”
“No thanks. I don’t want to trouble you.”
“Haven’t I said I fell in love with you at first sight, Miss Selwyn? Something this minor is
no trouble at all.”
