Chapter 308
1/0
Victoria couldn’t believe that Alaric, the CEO of Cadogan Group, would stoop so low, He
dared to claim that he fell in love at first sight with her right in front of their children!
Isn’t he ashamed?!
She eventually took a deep breath. She didn’t really want to respond to his words in
front of their children.
“Mommy, what does ‘love at first sight’ mean?”
Nicole was being her curious self again.
When Victoria didn’t answer the question, another voice rang out. “Nicole, love at first
sight means that I really like your Mommy.”
Victoria immediately whipped her head and looked at Alaric with an incredulous.
expression.
Alaric, on the other hand, met her gaze with a slight smile hanging on his lips.
At that moment her eyes met his dark ones, Victoria understood that she had fallen into
his trap.

He deliberately said that after noticing that she didn’t want to lose her temper or
composure in front of the children.
In fact, he didn’t even mind that she knew.
But even if she did, there was nothing she could do about it.
“Woah!” Nicole covered her face with her little hands out of excitement. “You like my
Mommy, Mr. Night?”
“Mhm.”
Nicole suddenly had a shocked expression. Victoria might be rendered speechless
because of her “drama queen” of a daughter, but she had no other choice now. She

classroom with your brother.”

“Okay! I’m full!”
Upon hearing that, Nathan immediately put down what he was holding and stood up.
“Nate, please take Nicole back to class. Remember to study hard and don’t run around
after school. Wait for me to pick you up.”

“Got it, Mommy.”
Nathan got up and held Nicole’s hand as they started to leave. As they passed by
Victoria, Alaric lightly tapped Nathan with his finger.

Nathan immediately flinched like he had touched fire. After he quickly moved away, he
didn’t even dare to look at Alaric again.
Ha! He has changed in the blink of an eye! Alaric sighed inwardly. Nathan seemed to
trust him before Victoria came, But as soon as his mother arrived, his attitude
immediately shifted.
As expected of my son.
Satisfied, Alaric smiled when he heard Victoria say to Zack, “Why don’t you go to the
classroom with Nicole, hmm?”
Zack didn’t nod. He timidly glanced at Alaric and only dared to leave after the man gave
him a nod of approval.
Only two people remained here after Zack left.
Victoria then sat down and started cleaning up the leftovers from her children’s meal.

But before she could even touch anything, Alaric stopped her by blocking her.
“Don’t touch it.”
He whispered, “I bought these, so let me take care of it.”

Victoria paused upon hearing that, and he retracted her outstretched hand that he
touched after a while.
“You know how to clean up?”
“I’m only doing what a father should.”
There he goes, trying to claim the children again. Not wanting to talk about this with
him, Victoria snorted and asked, “That child, did you bring him here to this school?”
Since things had escalated to this point, and he knew whom she was referring to, he
didn’t see why he should keep denying it.
“Yes.”
I thought so. Victoria let out a dry laugh. “So, he’s not your relative or anything, is he?”
“He is a relative, but I don’t know him.” After pursing his lips, he sat down across from

her and looked at her with a solemn expression. “I only did this to fulfill my duty as a
father.”
Upon hearing that, Victoria impatiently interrupted him, “It’s not necessary.”
“Victoria, I just want to make amends.”

“The three of us have lived well for five years. We don’t need you to make any amends.
All we need is a peaceful life. If you insist on making amends, then please get out of our
sight and never appear before us again. That would be the best way to make amends.”
Alaric didn’t say another word after she finished speaking. He quietly watched her, his
gaze still as dark as ever, and his lips were pressed together firmly.
He might appear calm, but he had no intention to give up.
Victoria knew that with everything he had done, “giving up” wasn’t something Alaric
would easily do.
It wasn’t like she was expecting him to do that with just a few words from her anyway.
After a moment, Alaric began cleaning up the things on the table.
Seeing his actions, Victoria thought of what the two children had told her about how he

ate their leftover hamburger buns.
There was no way the Alaric in the past would do something like this.
But even so, it didn’t mean that Victoria would easily forgive or accept him.
With this in mind, Victoria suddenly stood up and coldly stated, “I hope you won’t
disturb us again.”
After saying that, she left the school.
Alaric didn’t come after her this time.
B
When Victoria sat in the car, she couldn’t help but rest her head on the steering wheel,
letting out an exhausted, long breath.
She knew she had to think of a way to solve this problem.
She would never ever give her children to Alaric!
She was no longer in the mood to work when she returned to the company with the
way her thoughts were constantly on her two children and Alaric.
After she managed to endure until the end of the workday, Victoria grabbed her keys

and left the office directly.
Henry had wanted to chat with her, but Victoria hurriedly passed by him with the
excuse of having an urgent matter to attend to.

The man only raised his eyebrows again and muttered to himself, “Why has she been in
such a rush all day?”…
For some reason, Victoria had a sense of foreboding as she rushed to school.
That feeling reached its peak when she got closer to the school.
When she arrived and asked the children’s teacher, it was as she suspected-the two
children had been taken away.
She knew that because the first words the teacher said upon seeing her were, “Oh, your
came too, Miss Selwyn? The children’s father already came and took the children with
him!”
Victoria had been worried about this since she returned to the company at noon.
Because she refused to let Alaric claim the children as his and denied
any connection
between the two children and him, she couldn’t stop thinking about whether Alaric

would take the children away because he was provoked by her.
This anxiety had been amplified to the max, and now it had come true.
Alaric, you b*stard!
How could he do this? Is he really taking away the children I painstakingly raised just
like that?!
Victoria grew furious thinking about this. She couldn’t help but vent her anger at the
teacher. “Why do you people always do this? Can’t you make sure it’s me who picks
them up? If something happens to them, I won’t just sit idly by.”
“But-”
8/9
Victoria had already turned around and left before the teacher could say anything else.
After leaving the school, Victoria immediately called Alaric.
Beep, beep.
However, none of the calls she made got through.
What the hell does he want?! Her eyebrows pulled together, forming a deep frown.

Since she couldn’t reach him by phone, Victoria drove to the Cadogan Group.
While driving, Victoria dialed her lawyer’s number through the car’s Bluetooth.
