Chapter 513


    It Does Taste Pretty Good


    While Casey was busy scrounging up food, Nicole whispered, “What have you been doing, Mommy?


    Why did it take you so long toe back? We missed you! Nicky missed Mommy so much.”


    Victoria stroked Nicole’s head before murmuring, “Nicky?”


    Nicole nodded at once.


    Then, Victoria looked at the little boy beside Nicole.


    Nathan blinked and seemed to read her mind. “Nate missed Mommy a lot too.”


    Initially, Victoria had been wondering how she was going to find out what nickname she usually used


    with Nathan, now that she knew Nicole’s. It would be a bad idea for her to ask outright.”


    Although Nathan was young and clueless about a lot of things, he was also a sensitive child. The


    children did not know that she had lost her memories so they would surely find it strange if she, their


    mother, asked them about her nickname for them.


    Perhaps they wouldn’t think she had lost her memory. Instead, they would wonder if she no longer


    loved them. What other reason could there be that would exin why she couldn’t even remember


    their names?


    However, she didn’t expect Nathan to be such an intuitive child who immediately said exactly what she


    needed to hear.


    Victoria couldn’t resist kissing Nathan.


    “What a good little boy you are,


    Nate.”


    Nicole was immediately displeased by the fact that Nathan had gotten a kiss when she had only gotten


    a hug.


    “You kissed Nate so you have to kiss Nicky too, Mommy.”


    Victoria chuckled and pulled Nicole over, then kissed the little girl on the forehead.


    Once she finished kissing Nicole, she realized that her daughter’s personality was exactly what she


    seemed like based on first impressions.


    Nicole looked like an adorable little girl and acted like one too.


    Nathan’s personality was also simr to her first impression of him. He seemed quieter, well- behaved,


    and more reserved.


    Nathan’sensed that there was something different about his mother, but no matter how clever he was,


    he was still a child. Since Victoria was trying to keep the truth for him, he wasn’t able to pinpoint exactly


    what had changed about her.


    The only thing he knew for certain was that she was a lot skinnier now.


    Nathan’s heart ached for his mother. He took her hand and said softly, “You must eat all your meals


    properly, Mommy.”

    Victoria was startled for a moment, but she nodded.


    “Of course. I have to take good care of myself so that I can raise my babies.”


    Victoria’s eyes grew a little misty.


    It had indeed been a good idea to have the children with her. Her heart finally settled down.


    Victoria pulled her children into her arms, and with them on either side of her, she closed her eyes. in


    peace.


    That was the sight that greeted ric when he came into the house.


    He stopped and stared at the three of them.


    Click. He heard the sound of a camera shutter behind him.


    ric turned around and saw Mary smiling with her phone in hand.


    “That was such a lovely photo.”


    Since she was facing the same direction as ric earlier, he assumed she had taken a photo of


    Victoria and the children, so he scooted over.


    “How does it look?”


    ric was taken aback when he saw the photo.


    He thought Mary had taken a photo of the heartwarming scene he saw earlier–Victoria and the children


    all wrapped up in a hug together.


    He wanted to keep a record of that too, but he had been staring in a daze.


    While Mary did take a photo of that scene, he was also included in the photo.


    The photo was positioned somewhat from ric’s perspective. His gaze was visible. He was staring at


    the trio’s group hug.


    “What do you think? I did a good job taking this photo of the four of you, right?”


    ric didn’t reply. After staring at the photo in silence for quite some time, he said, “Send it to me.”


    Once he received the photo, he immediately made it his phone background and continued staring


    at it.


    Mary shook her head helplessly.


    The strongest of the Cadogan gics seemed to affect the way they viewed love. Throughout the


    generations, the Cadogan men were all romantic and wholeheartedly dedicated to their wives. Not only


    did they treat their spouses well, but they also remained loyal. Once they fell in love with someone,


    their feelings wouldst forever.


    Some women grew jealous when their sons took such good care of their wives and showed them less


    attention, and that undoubtedly had something to do with their own husbands. Why else would they


    need to seek out their son’s affection?


    14:16. Mon, 1/


    As for Mary, she would never feel jealous no matter how well ric treated Victoria. She would not


    think that she had lost her son.


    It was because her husband had always been so good to her that she could put herself in the shoes of


    the younger couple and understand what they were feeling.


    “Okay, here we go.”


    Casey’s voice rang out from the kitchen, and she soon appeared bearing arge tray of food. ric


    saw her and quickly went over to help.


    Victoria was about to get up and lend a hand too, but since ric had gone over, she didn’t move from


    the couch.


    The table was filled with all sorts of food and snacks. Many of them had been bought from the market


    not too long ago, including freshly–plucked fruits. There were also a few pastries and cookies that


    Casey made herself.


    “Eat up. You’re too skinny.”


    Casey picked out a few things and served them to Victoria.


    Victoria epted the te with a smile. She was d that it wasn’t meat or anything heavy like that.


    Otherwise, there was a chance she might vomit on the spot.


    She took a bite of the cake and looked up to find Casey’s expectant eyes on her.


    “How is it? Does it taste alright?”


    “It tastes great,” Victoria replied. “Did you make it yourself, Grandma?”


    A pleased smile broke out on Casey’s face.


    “That’s right. I try my hand at baking when I have the time, and since the children came over, I decided


    to make a couple more things. If you like it, I’ll whip up a fresh batch for you to take home with you.”


    “That would be wonderful. Thank you,


    Grandma.”


    She nibbled at the cake a couple more times, and just as she couldn’t bring herself to take another bite,


    ric came over and sat down beside her.


    “I want to know what it tastes like.”


    His voice was low as it rumbled beside Victoria’s ear, and before she even had the time to react, he


    grabbed her fair hand and brought it up to his mouth before taking a bite of the cake she was holding.


    Victoria was speechless.


    She felt his tongue and lips scraping across her fingers and her cheeks instantly med as she


    instinctively tried to pull her hand back.


    It would’ve been better if she hadn’t done that. The moment she tried to move, ric took her hand


    and held onto it.


    hand and held onto it.


    Victoria didn’t know what to do.


    What is he doing? Mom and Grandma are in the room with us.


    “You turned red, Mommy!” Nicole eximed.


    ric nced at Victoria and smirked. “It does taste pretty good.”
