    Although ric didn’t understand why Victoria suddenly decided to ask him such a


    thing, it was a good start. “Yes,” he replied.


    After some hesitation, she said, “I can let you take care of them but with some


    conditions.”


    I knew it. My efforts paid off. Since they were childhood friends, he knew that she was


    soft–hearted. However, his expression remained calm as he inquired, “What


    conditions?”


    “Firstly, I agree to let you take care of them solely for the sake of the two children. It’s


    only because you’re their biological father that I am willing to entrust them to you.”


    “Okay.” He didn’t even hesitate, immediately agreeing.


    Victoria appeared slightly surprised upon hearing his ready agreement. At the thought.


    of something, she looked at him and said, “You can only be addressed as an uncle, and


    you cannot im to be their father in front of the children. Can you agree to this


    condition? If you can’t, then…”


    “I agree.”

    to go this far for the children.


    “I just want to fulfill my responsibilities.” As for how they address me… Although he had


    fantasized about the two children calling him ‘Daddy‘ ever since he found out they were


    his children, he knew that his past five years with Victoria hadn’t been pleasant. She


    had raised the children all by herself during that time.


    So, he didn’t dare, nor did he want the children to call him ‘Daddy‘ at this moment. It


    would likely hurt her to hear the two children she had worked hard to raise easily call


    someone else ‘Daddy‘. Even though he wasn’t a stranger, this would probably sadden


    her.


    From her recent behavior, it was clear that she was genuinely worried that he would


    take the children away. Yet, it was understandable. She had previously believed that


    there was something between him and udia, which was why she was worried. Now


    that the situation with udia had been resolved, what he needed was time.


    “Are you sure you won’t…” Victoria still had some concerns.


    Instantly, ric interrupted by saying, “If you are worried that I have some ulterior


    motives, we can sign a contract. How does that sound?” It seems that the audio


    recording file isn’t enough to make her feel secure. Perhaps, she still doesn’t feel


    Chapter 348 1 Agree


    secure. Since it isn’t enough, I will make up for it.


    “A contract?”


    “Yes.” He nodded.


    At his answer, she pursed her lips together. In fact, even if he hadn’t mentioned it, she


    had already been thinking the same thing. Only by signing a contract could she feel at


    ease. Although she didn’t understand how their rtionship hade to this point,


    unfortunately, some things couldn’t be undone. “Alright, I’ll…”


    “You can set the terms regarding the contract. Just let me know when you’re done.”


    ric was very amodating as if he would go along with whatever she wished.


    After that, Victoria didn’t say anything more, but he couldn’t help but ask again, “What


    about the design…”


    He was referring to the design of the house. If they were truly going to sign a contract


    for him to take care of the children, he would definitely build the house.


    “You can handle it yourself. I won’t be involved,” she replied. It’s not my money after all.


    “Why?” he asked, puzzled. “I hope that you and the children can live together.”

    “The only connection you will have is with the children, not with me. I will make that


    clear in the contract.”

    As they were talking, the driver suddenly stopped the car and awkwardly turned around


    to remind them. “Mr. Cadogan, we have arrived at Miss Selwyn’spany.”


    When she saw that she had arrived at thepany, she immediately changed what


    she was about to say. “Thank you for driving me to thepany. I’ll be taking my leave


    now. As for the contract, I will send it to you once I’m done.”


    “Okay.”


    After she got out of the car, she went straight into the building without looking back.


    In the elevator, she even wondered how she could suddenly be so calm around him. Is

    it because of the children, because I no longer care, or… because I found out that he


    had not instructed me to have an abortion?


    She didn’t want to delve into that particr rabbit hole. It would be enough if her two


    little darlings could receive unconditional love. She was deeply concerned that the two


    little ones would follow in her footsteps.


    With these thoughts in mind, she arrived at her office and began working on their


    1138 Wed, 5 Jul


    Chapter 348 1 Agree


    contract.


    During that time, Henry came over and reported that there were a few new employees


    in thepany. He asked her to join the interview process and give some advice.


    Considering thepany’s future development, she decided to make an appearance.


    Once Victoria had resolved her matters there, she returned to her office to continue


    working on the contract.

    There was absolutely no connection between her and him. If there was any connection,


    it was only through their children. Other than that, they were just a pair of divorced


    parents who were now strangers.


    Victoria drafted each use of the contract very strictly and even consulted her


    previouswyer.


    After she exined the situation to thewyer, he quickly understood her intentions.


    “So, your idea is that you will retain custody of the children, and the father will only fulfill


    his responsibilities as a parent in name, without any actual rights?”


    “Yes, that’s right. Can it be done?”


    “There shouldn’t be a problem. Let me review the conditions you have written.” He

    quickly skimmed through the conditions, then said, “It should be fine. I will refine these,


    and you can take a look after that.”


    “Okay, thank you.” After she hung up the phone, she breathed a sigh of relief. If I were


    him, I don’t think I would sign such a contract because it’s incredibly unfair, but my past


    five years weren’t exactly smooth sailing either. He can either ept this unfairness or


    choose to leave my children’s lives. Either way, I won’t force his hand.


    Just as she was lost in thought, Tony gave her a call.


    After she gave birth to her children and her father started a new family, the frequency of


    contact between her and her father decreased. So, when she saw her father’s call, she


    immediately put aside her work. “Hi, Dad.”


    “Victoria?” Tony smiled when he heard her voice. “How have you been? How’s the


    The gloom that had clouded Victoria’s morning was instantly dispelled, leaving only the


    warmth nurtured by family affection in her heart. “Yes, it’s going smoothly, and we even


    secured an investment.”


    “Oh, from whichpany?”


    At this topic, she hesitated for a moment and then said, “It’s a well–established


    “Good, good. The owner of thatpany has a good eye. You excel at everything you


    1. do. I’m sure he won’t regret it in the future.” Tony was incredibly confident in Victoria.


    After they chatted about their daily lives for a while, he cautiously asked, “How is your


    rtionship with Bane goingtely?”


    As soon as he asked this question, she felt that something was amiss. In these five


    years, he had never inquired about her rtionship. Even when she and Bane were not


    together, he never asked, only waiting for her to decide, but now… “What’s wrong, Dad?”
