Nicole, who had been listening in on their conversation, covered her little mouth with
her hands and began giggling.
Victoria fell silent because, in reality, she was a little embarrassed and mad.

She lowered her head to look at her daughter. She didn’t say anything, nor did she show
her anger. She just gazed quietly at Nicole.
Nicole was still giggling at first, but when she noticed Victoria staring at her like that,
her smile instantly disappeared out of guilt. She put down her little hands and pursed
her little mouth. She dared notugh anymore, and she looked quite anxious.
Victoria rarely got mad at her children because they were usually obedient and
considerate. Even if they did something wrong, she would teach them first, and only
then would she get stricter if they refused to listen.
Because of her different and personal way of teaching, she usually didn’t have to
suddenly shift her expressions.
So, even if she simply looked at the children without a sound, the children would know
that they had done something wrong.

This time was no exception. Nicole didn’t dare say a word, and she could only lower her
head as she stole nces at Victoria time and again.
When Victoria saw Nicole behaving like that, her heart softened again. She reached out
and pinched Nicole’s chubby cheeks in exasperation. “You shouldn’tugh next time.”
“Okay. I’ll be a good kid and listen to you, Mommy.”
Nicole hugged Victoria’s arm tightly, burying herself into her mother’s embrace. She
began to ignore ric’s presence.
Victoria didn’t feel too good for the past few days because Nicole kept going against
her wishes. Now that Nicole was finally listening to her and ignoring ric, she felt a lot
better.
Hence, she turned and said to Nathan, “Nathan,e down.”
Nathan hesitated for a moment, then said to ric, “Mr. Night, put me down, please.”
ric pursed his thin lips. He held Nathan tighter, then lowered his eyes to look at the
child.
“As a man, and at suchte hours, do you think I’d leave you there on your own? I would
look irresponsible, and it’s not safe for you three to wait for a ride here.”

Victoria smiled and said, “You’re overthinking it, Mr. Night. Jasea is a safe city, and they have people in
in clothes on patrol on the streets at all times. It won’t be dangerous.”
“What if it is?” ric looked up at her. “You have two children to care for. Can you

be
ric’s eyes shed with a stern glow under the streetlights. “I came here with you, so I
should ensure your safety.”
In other words, he was responsible for the children too.
When Victoria heard that, she sneered in her heart. “What do you propose we do, then?”
“I’ll send you home.”
Victoria looked him in the eyes for a long time. In the end, she didn’t say more as she
carried Nicole, walking up to the car. “Open the door.”
When ric saw that, his thin lips curved into a nice smile. He walked over and put
Nathan down, then opened the car door for Victoria.
Victoria just wanted him to unlock the door, but she never expected him toe over
and open the car door for her.

She couldn’t help but re at him. Judging by his behavior right now, he seemed to be
quite humble in front of her, especially in front of the children, too. Was it because he
felt like he owed them?
When Victoria thought of something, she sneered in her heart.
ric wanted to pursue her in front of the children, but what if she took the initiative?
She wouldn’t have to be led along then.
After thinking things through, Victoria quickly decided in her heart. He wanted to
pursue her, huh? Then, she would torture him with all she had so that he would be
deterred.
After getting into the car, the children nked her as they held her arms on each side,
their soft bodies leaning against her.
When they had settled in, Victoria saw ric turning to look at them, so she smiled.
“Thanks for being the driver, Mr. Night.”
Her response made ric pause for a moment. He gave her a weird look, then smiled.
“No problem. It’s my pleasure.”

When he turned back to face the front, the smile instantly disappeared from Victoria’s
lips as she returned to her usual cold look.
As she lowered her head, she identally met Nathan’s gaze.
Victoria hesitated, for she didn’t expect Nathan to see that. She put on a smile again,
but Nathan didn’t seem surprised. He pursed his little mouth and hugged her arm
tighter, not saying anything.

If possible, she didn’t want her children to see her negative sides, but Nathan was just
too sensitive…
In the end, Victoria could only reach out and pat Nathan’s head.
The car pulled up at the ground floor of theirmunity.
“Thank you, Mr. Night, for sending us home.” As soon as they arrived, Nicole
immediately thanked ric.
ric met her gaze through the rearview mirror, and a smile graced his lips. “When I
be Daddy in the future, you won’t have to thank me. It’s my responsibility.”
Victoria, however, remained seated emotionlessly. The children looked at her, then at
ric in front.

In the end, Nicole raised her head and asked, “Mommy, are we not getting out?”

Victoria looked at Nicole, blinking lightly as she said, “Darling, did you forget? Mr. Night
is pursuing Mommy, so if he doesn’t open the door, how can we get out?”

earlier. She must have changed her mind from that moment onward.
While he was thinking, the two children’s gazes were already upon him.
Under their gaze, ric undid his seatbelt, then got out and opened the car door for
them.
When the car door was open, Victoria got out with the children.
The two children were in front while Victoria walked behind them. When she passed by
ric, he secretly held her wrist, then said in a voice so small that only the two could
hear, “Do you think you can deter me like this? In your dreams, Victoria.”
With that, before Victoria could react, he ced his hand on her back and gently
pushed her forward. “Go on up. Goodnight.”
Victoria didn’t have a chance to reply before ric pushed her, causing her to take a

“Goodbye, Mr. Night.”

Even though Nicole didn’t dare to officially take ric’s side anymore, the children were
still courteous enough. ric had sent them home, after all, so they automatically
thanked him and bade him goodbye.

The only response he received was the figures of Victoria and the two children walking
away.
ric stood there for a long time. When he saw the lights turn on behind a certain
window upstairs, confirming that the three had already arrived home safely, he finally
left reassured.
After Victoria went into the house with the two children, she turned on the lights and
subconsciously walked toward the window. Then, she quickly drew the curtains closed.
After that, she peeked through the gap to see that the ck car had already driven off.
It was only then that she let out a sigh of relief.
