Chapter 511


    Chapter 511 I Want a Hug, Mommy


    Regain my memories? The abrupt question caught Victoria off–guard and she didn’t know what to say.


    Instead, she became lost in her thoughts.


    She did want them back. After all, who wouldn’t want to regain what they lost?


    However, after everything that happened, she started getting the feeling that it wasn’t quite so


    important for her to regain her memories. Even if she didn’t, the people who cared about her would


    remain caring about her–like ric, for example. Despite his serious injuries, the first thing he did once


    he woke up was to rush over and save her.


    Her memories were indeed of great importance to her, but at the same time, they were not all that


    essential either.


    With that thought in mind, Victoria answered, “I’ll just leave it up to fate to see whether I regain them or


    not. Trying too hard might backfire on me instead.”


    ric was a little startled. He didn’t expect her to take this attitude with the situation as he thought she


    would give a definite answer, be it yes or no.


    After musing in thought for a while, ric’s lips curled up. “My Snowball will always be my Snowball.


    It’s good that you see it this way. You won’t stress yourself out with inner conflict.”


    Victoria chuckled at his words. “Why would I be conflicted and stress myself out? That’s tiring.”


    She had been rescued, and the people who cared about her were beside her. She was also going to


    see her two adorable children soon. What was there for her to feel stressed and conflicted about?


    It’s not like this is something I can get back just because I want to anyway. There’s no point getting


    stressed out over it. I might as well just take things as theye. Maybe my memories will naturally


    come back to me someday.


    ric ruffled the back of her head with a smile. “That’s a good way of thinking about it.”


    Soon, they arrived at the entrance.


    It was closed and ric moved to ring the doorbell, but the woman beside him caught his hand.


    “W–Wait. Wait a minute.”


    ric looked at Victoria. “What’s the matter?”


    As soon as he asked that question, he realized that Victoria’s hand was trembling. He was taken


    aback. “Are you afraid?”


    Victoria didn’t know what to say. She pursed her lips for a moment before muttering, “I–I’m not afraid.


    I’m just a little nervous.”


    If no one told her about it, she never would have known that she had two children. During the time.


    leading up to this, she had been so anxious to see them that she couldn’t wait to get over here.


    However, now that she was mere seconds away from seeing them, she started tensing up.


    “Nervous?”

    ric looked down at her hand which was clutching his tightly. It didn’t look like she was here to see


    her children. It felt as if she came to see her enemy.


    That being said, he understood what she was going through.


    He had been a lot more anxious when he wanted to spend time with the children after finding out they


    were his.


    “Don’t be nervous. You’re their mother. You gave birth to them. What’s there for you to be nervous


    about?” ric teased as he gripped her hand in reassurance.


    Victoria was still nervous anyway. “That’s right. Why am I nervous? They’re my children. I gave birth to


    them. What’s there for me to be nervous about?”


    She repeated the words to herself several times as if she wanted to brainwash herself, but that didn’t


    help. She was still nervous.


    “Why don’t I give you a bit more time to adjust? I’ll wait a while before I ring the doorbell, okay?” ric


    suggested.


    Victoria immediately nodded in agreement.


    “T–That’s a good idea.”


    For some reason, ric was secretly pleased and amused to see her being this nervous. She’s acting


    exactly the way I did when I was being timid and clumsy with the two children back then.


    Victoria took quite a few deep breaths. Once she calmed down and mentally prepared herself, she


    walked over to ric. “I’m ready now. You can ring the doorbell.”


    There was no reason to dy the inevitable. She would only get more nervous with each passing


    minute.


    “Are you sure? I’ll ring it now, okay?” ric checked.

    “Yeah… Go ahead.”


    As she spoke, she shrank behind him until she was basically hidden from view.


    ric became even more amused. “Why are you hiding behind me if you’re ready?”


    Victoria was irked by his teasing tone. “Do you enjoy seeing me like this? Are you teasing me on


    purpose?”


    ric’s eyes were full of mirth, but he refuted it anyway. “Not at all.”


    “I heard it.”


    “What did you hear?”


    “I heard youughing at me.”


    “Is that so? Did Iugh just now?”


    “You’reughing on the inside.”


    You can hear me when Iugh on the inside?”


    Victoria was speechless.


    “ric!”


    “Yes? Why did you call me, my dear?”


    He asked when he already knew the answer, and that only made Victoria pinch him in the back. She


    simply wanted to teach him a lesson, but his entire body stiffened in response.


    Victoria didn’t notice anything. After giving him a hard pinch, she withdrew her hand and walked


    away.


    ric stood there with his gaze a little dark. He pursed his lips. For the first time, he felt as if he had


    shot himself in the foot.


    Just that tiniest act of hers made his body heat up. Perhaps it was because they had been separated


    for a very long time.


    Thankfully for him, it was winter and his clothes were thick enough.


    ric cleared his throat to hide his awkwardness. He was about to speak when he heard excited cries


    ringing out behind them.


    “Mommy!”


    “Mommy!”


    It was the thrilled squeals of two little children. ric immediately recognized Nicole and Nathan’s


    voices.


    However, his immediate response was to check Victoria’s reaction.


    True enough, as soon as Victoria heard the cries, she froze up and stood rooted on the spot.


    ric looked over and saw the little children scampering over at what seemed like the speed of


    lightning, though they weren’t quite that fast. Nevertheless, they scrambled over to Victoria and hugged


    one of her legs each.


    “Mommy!”


    The two of them chirped like little birds as they kept calling out to Victoria.


    ric noticed that Victoria had be even stiffer now.


    It was a while before she seemed to finally regain her senses. She looked down at the two children


    hugging her legs.


    She saw their adorable faces and froze up as she stared at them in a daze.


    They look… exactly like the children I saw in my dreams. Am I irvoyant? Or… does this mean I still


    have my memories locked up in my head somewhere, even though I can’t remember them? Maybe


    that’s why I dreamed of their faces.

    “You’re back atst, Mommy! I missed you so much.”


    Nicole tugged on Victoria’s clothes and stretched her arms out for a hug. The little boy beside her was


    a lot more reserved. He looked extremely happy as well, but he didn’t tug on Victoria’s clothes.


    A few moments went by and Victoria still hadn’t picked Nicole up, so the little girl became. impatient


    and cried out, “I want a hug, Mommy!”


    At Nicole’s urging, Victoria slowly crouched down and opened her arms.


    The moment her arms were open wide enough, the children threw themselves at her. She nearly


    stumbled backward from the force, but thankfully, ric could already guess what would happen and


    had crouched down to support her.
