Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306 

I worked so hard at raising the kids for so many years, and he is going to snatch them 

away from me just like that

Victoria couldn’t help but clench her fists at her sides before she walked over slowly

Alaric, who was still basking in the joy of watching the children eat, hadn’t noticed that 

someone was approaching

That was until… 

Mommy?” 

Nicole was nibbling on a drumstick when she suddenly saw the figure standing behind 

Alaric. When she raised her head and saw Victoria, she exclaimed in both surprise and 

delight

Meanwhile, Alaric stayed seated when he heard Victoria’s name. The smile on his lips 

instantly yánished

Even Nathan, who had been quietly eating, stopped munching and looked behind 

Alaric, his gaze clearly evasive

Wait a minuteAlaric pursed his lips slightly

Just as he was about to get up, he heard Victoria address him, Mr. Night?” 

Upon hearing this, Alaric stopped for a moment before he slowly narrowed his eyes

After a second, he lightly tapped his molars with his tongue and took his time to stand 

up, meeting Victoria’s gaze

Mommy, what are you doing here?Nicole immediately put down the spoon in her 

hand and wiped her mouth clean with a tissue before she went to hug Victoria’s leg

Victoria was still in her high heels, so she stumbled a little when Nicole hugged her

However, she regained her balance fairly quickly

Miss Selwyn.” 

Victoria had just stood up straight again when she saw Alaric politely extending hist 

hand toward her

Looking at those large hands, she quietly scoffed and calmly shook hands with him

Hello.”

She barely touched him before she let go, leaving Alaric no chance to shake her hand

Nathan was watching from the side when he noticed this

Mommy doesn’t seem like she likes Mr. Night a lot, he thought with a frown. But why

After greeting him, Victoria pretended not to recognize him and looked at the table

Nicole, Nate, what did I tell you before? You can’t eat food from strangers.” 

Hearing the word strangersmade Alaric frown

Apart from being the children’s father, he was also the Silent Nightwho had been 

supporting their live stream

And yet, she actually referred to him as a stranger in front of Nicole and Nathan

The children didn’t say anything after hearing those words

Victoria smiled and continued, I’m sorry, Mr. Silent Night. I heard from Nicole and 

Nathan that you always bring food for your nephew. These mischievous little ones. 

always come to bum meals off of you, don’t they? How much do the meals they had 

these few days cost? Shall I pay you?” 

Her politeness and the distance between them were quite apparent. She clearly wanted 

mun

nothing to do with him

Instead of answering her, Alaric only pressed his lips into a straight line and kept

straight face

It was Nicole who clung to Victoria’s leg who spoke up. Mommy, he is Mr. Night. He 

won’t ask us for money.” 

4/8 

Victoria’s lips twitched at Nicole’s words. It has only been a few days, but she is already

siding with him? What would happen if they spent more time together

With these thoughts in mind, Victoria could only lower her head and gently pat Nicole’s 

head, whispering, Mr. Night is an adult. When an adult offers a child some food, they 

won’t ask for money. But as I taught you before, you can’t just eat food from strangers

So, yes, I will definitely pay the money for you.” 

Strangers

Alaric unknowingly furrowed his eyebrows again. From the moment she appeared until 

now, she had already used that word on him twice

Alaric was not surprised by her behavior; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come earlier to try 

to win the favor of the two children. He was worried that Victoria wouldn’t give him any

chance and would completely reject him

It turned out just as he expected

5/8 

And perhaps Nicole was an expert at pulling the rug from under other people’s feet, but 

she spoke up again after hearing Victoria’s words, But Mommy, we’ve received a lot of 

money from Mr. Night during the live stream. And if Mr. Night is willing to be my daddy 

in the future, he won’t be a stranger anymore.” 

Victoria stayed silent at that, but the slight frown on Alaric’s face turned into a smile 

when he heard Nicole’s words. His lips curled into a beautiful arc as he gave Nicole

thumbsup

You’re right, Nicole.” 

Victoria’s eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. It wasn’t like she could do anything in front 

of the children. She also didn’t want them to know about some of the grudges she held

It wasn’t necessary to involve the children in her personal matters

As she thought about this, she could only suggest to Alaric, Mr. Night, how about we 

find another place to talk?” 

Mon

Alaric raised an eyebrow. Alright.” 

Nicole, Nate,” Victoria called the names of the children. She then noticed Zack sitting 

next to them. Judging from his last name and demeanor, he probably wasn’t Alaric’s 

relative either. Since he was just a child, Victoria didn’t want to vent her anger on him

She smiled at him as well and reminded them, You three, be good and eat your lunch 

here. Mr. Night and have something to talk about. We’ll be back soon.” 

The three children nodded in unison

After settling them down, Victoria turned to Alaric and started walking outside

Seeing this, Alaric quietly and slowly caught up with her pace

Instead of staying in the school vicinity, Victoria headed straight outside. The security 

guard at the entrance greeted her when she walked by

Are you leaving already, Miss Selwyn? You just got here!” 

Victoria smilingly gave him a nod
