Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria) novel Chapter 527

Chapter 527 Sad Memories

Although Victoria initially wanted to lecture Alaric, she somehow calmed down when he

volunteered to bring the kids over. As soon as Alaric was gone, she returned to the room and tidied up her clothes instead.

Ten minutes later, Alaric came over with the children. When the kids saw Victoria, they

immediately ran up to her and gave her an intimate hug, like they had not seen her for a long time. “Mommy!”

In the meantime, Victoria had been missing Nathan and Nicole for the whole night since she met them the day before. Therefore, when she felt them in her arms, she was overwhelmed with joy and euphoria. As the children were enjoying their mother’s cuddle, they suddenly thought of something and asked, “Where are Grandma and the rest?”

“They went out.” Alaric crouched down in front of Victoria and caressed the children’s heads. While Victoria nodded upon hearing Alaric’s response, the man went silent for a few seconds and added, “The kids wanted to tag along to the bazaar. They were curious.”

Victoria paused and looked at the children. “Do you two really want to go to the bazaar?”

When Nathan and Nicole heard their mother’s question, they nodded, only to shake their heads shortly after. They then seized her arm and said, “We’re not going anywhere without you, Mommy.”

“That’s right. We want to stay with you, Mommy.”

The children’s heart-warming words put a bright smile on Victoria’s face, filling her heart with love and strength. “Alright then, keep your promise and stay with me, kids.”

Although they didn’t tag along with Mary to the bazaar, Alaric suggested that they could go on a family trip, since they had nothing to do at home. While Victoria was going to agree at first, she quickly changed her mind at the thought of Alaric’s injury. Due to that, she believed it was best for Alaric to stay in bed and rest for the next few days. After all, when she was taking a rest in the past few days, it was Alaric who stayed awake looking after her day and night at the cost of his own. physical welfare. Therefore, Victoria felt obligated to let him rest in return now that she was already awake, which was why she quickly rejected Alaric’s suggestion.

“Maybe not. You need to rest more.”

Alaric raised his eyebrows upon hearing that. “I had a pretty good rest last night. You tended to my wound, after all. It’s getting better.” He chose his use of words wisely so that his children wouldn’t understand the context.

“So, what? You still need to rest.” Victoria pursed her lips.

“It wouldn’t hurt for us to hang out for a bit, would it?”

“No way.”

The children were trying to fathom the context of the conversation between their parents. Soon, Nicole looked up and asked, “What are you talking about, Mommy, Daddy?”

Meanwhile, Alaric’s heart was racing rapidly when he heard the children calling Victoria and him Mommy and Daddy. After all, Victoria had previously not allowed them to call him Daddy, insisting that it was not time for that to happen yet. Nevertheless, the two of them grew closer to each other when Victoria suffered from amnesia, much to Alaric’s surprise. Despite the joy that he was feeling at the thought of that, he was quickly put down by his wild imagination which made him wonder whether Victoria would regret it when she recovered from amnesia. Will she tell the children to stop calling me Daddy by then? Alaric thought to himself, keeping his feelings hidden inside his heart.

How do I describe that feeling? It almost looks like Nathan understands the conversation between me and Alaric. Despite the thought of that, Victoria didn’t find it surprising, knowing both her children were smart and witty, including Nicole, although she usually couldn’t care less about it.

While Victoria didn’t agree with the trip, Alaric eventually decided to go along with her, deeming it fair enough since she listened to him and stayed home. Fine, let’s stay home then. Although they could kill time by watching television or playing with the toys that Mary bought, Victoria preferred to play Lego with the children instead of allowing them to watch TV.

Victoria nodded, thinking she should respect his privacy, not to mention the fact that the children were still too young to hear the conversation. At the thought of that, she kept her head down, wondering how Bane, Ethan, and Jessie were doing recently as she had lost touch with them since she returned to her country. Bane might have made a mistake, but I still don’t want anything bad to happen to him. Victoria thought to herself while letting out a sigh.
