Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421 

When Victoria heard the soft sounds, her eyelashes twitched. The bright light almost 

prevented her from opening her eyes. 

It took her a while to adjust to the current brightness and open her eyes. 

As soon as she did, she saw Nathan and Nicole standing not far away. 

Seeing them, Victoria thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, but she was still 

taken aback and sat up suddenly. 

As she sat up, the two little ones approached and greeted her. 

“Mommy, you’re awake!” 

Nicole’s voice was loud, and it woke up Alaric, who was still half asleep. When Nicole 

saw that he was awake, she also cheerfully called out to him. 

“Mr. Night!” 

She happily walked over, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and asked, “Mr. Night, you 

slept together with Mommy. Does that mean you’re my daddy now?”

Chapter 421 If Your Mommy Agrees 

Although the little girl was young, she was sharp–witted. She had never seen her 

mother and Bane sleeping together like this before. 

Not to mention sleeping together, there wasn’t even a hint of intimacy between them. 

One shouldn’t be fooled by children’s young age; sometimes they understood certain 

things most clearly. 

Alaric was caught off guard by Nicole’s sudden question. He remained still for a 

moment before murmuring, “Daddy, huh?”

He looked at Victoria, who was sitting on the couch, then lightly pressed his hand on 

Nicole’s head. “Whether I can be your daddy or not depends on your mommy’s opinion.” 

“Mommy?” The little girl looked at Victoria. 

“Yes.” Alaric nodded. “If your mommy agrees to me being your daddy, then I’ll be your 

daddy. If she doesn’t agree, then I will have to try harder to make your mommy accept 

me first.” 

After hearing this, Nicole immediately climbed onto the couch and into Victoria’s 

embrace. “So, Mommy, do you accept Mr. Night?”

Victoria was speechless. 

Before she could speak, Nicole murmured, “Mommy, you must have accepted him, or 

else you wouldn’t have let him sleep with you.” 

Victoria felt dumbfounded at her words.

It seemed that there was a big misunderstanding. Victoria felt embarrassed and rubbed 

her forehead. Although she had started to accept Alaric in her heart, she still had some 

reservations when it came to the matter of the children. After all, she had truly suffered 

in the past. 

Although some of it stemmed from her own misunderstanding, if he had clarified his 

feelings earlier, how could there have been so many misunderstandings between 

them? 

Her silence made the atmosphere awkward. Nicole was still staring at her and waiting. 

for her answer. At the same time, Alaric was wearing a confident smile as if he was 

sure that she would agree. 

To his surprise, she fell silent. 

Alaric himself slowly appeared to understand the reason for her silence. The delight in

his eyes slowly faded, but he remained calm without becoming angry and simply said, 

“It’s okay, this isn’t urgent. Let’s discuss it later.” 

Without waiting for Victoria to speak, he intervened in their conversation. 

He then gently patted Nicole’s head and whispered, “Nicky, give your mommy some 

more time, and give me a chance to prove myself, okay?” 

Victoria looked at him calmly uttering these words, and it didn’t sit well with her. 

Given the circumstances, she was surprised that he could still compose himself and 

say such things. She wondered what he was feeling at that moment. 

Nicole also sensed that something was amiss and stopped talking. After a moment, 

Nathan came forward, took her hand, and brought her to the side.

Victoria was silent for a moment before she said, “I’ll go freshen up. How is your injury?” 

“It’s much better now. I applied medication and took the pills last night. Did you forget?” 

Alaric replied. 

Hearing his words, Victoria glanced at him and noticed that his complexion looked 

much better than last night. The medication seemed to be effective.

Feeling somewhat relieved, she got up to freshen up. 

As she walked away, the two kids quickly followed her. When they reached a spot 

where Alaric couldn’t see them, Nicole asked, “Mommy, why didn’t you agree?” 

Victoria let out a sigh and said, “It’s not the right time yet.” 

Not the right time? 

“When will it be-” Nicole began, but Nathan interrupted her. “Nicole.” 

He softly advised, “Stop asking. Mommy will tell us when she agrees in the future.” 

Hearing her brother’s words, Nicole obediently nodded and said, “Okay then.”

The three of them entered the bathroom together, and once inside, Victoria noticed that 

even the children’s toothbrushes were prepared. There were blue and pink ones, along 

with matching children’s cups. 

With just a glance, Victoria felt instantly soothed by the sight. 

Children’s items were always cuter than imagined. She didn’t know if they were 

prepared in advance or delivered late last night.

Victoria squeezed toothpaste onto both brushes and said, “Brush your teeth quickly, 

and after that, we’ll have breakfast.” 

“Thank you, Mommy,” they both replied. 

When Alaric approached, he witnessed the scene of the three of them standing 

together by the sink perfectly aligned. It was a heartwarming sight. 

Instinctively, he paused and stood there, savoring the moment. 

In the end, Alaric couldn’t resist taking out his phone, opening the camera, and 

capturing this scene. 

The shot was perfectly backlit and could easily serve as phone wallpaper. 

Alaric stood there, reluctant to leave. After relishing the moment for a while, he 

promptly changed his phone wallpaper to that photo.
