The little guy’s words warmed Victoria’s heart. She reached out and caressed
Nathan’s head, saying in a gentle voice, “Mommy is home now, so you can sleep
without worries.”
Nathan leaned in her arms, blinking. “Can I sleep in your room tonight?”
Victoria looked at the enormous bed. She had already agreed in her heart, but she
couldn’t help but want to tease her son.
“But Nathan, you’re already 5 years old. You should sleep on your own.”
When Nathan heard that, disappointment colored his tiny face, perhaps because he
thought that Victoria would say yes. A moment later, he lowered his head and
nodded obediently.
“Okay, Mommy. I’ll sleep on my own.”
She just wanted to tease him, but when she saw how disappointed he was, she felt
like she was an evil person.
At that thought, Victoria said, “Come on, I was just joking. It’s cold tonight, so let’s all

sleep together.”
Nathan instantly put on a joyful look. “Mommy, do you mean it?”
“Yes, so get into bed first. I’ll grab a blanket.”

He thought for a moment, but he didn’t get into bed as he was told to. Instead, he
stared earnestly at Victoria as he said, “If you’re fetching a blanket, I’ll get a pillow for
you.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Victoria agreed.
Then, she went back to her room for her blanket as Nathan carried her pillow for her.
When the two were walking back, Victoria heard the sound of a door closing, but the
sound seemed to come from the entrance of the house.
She was a little confused, but she didn’t say anything. After taking Nathan back to
the room, she said to him, “Nathan, go ahead. I’ll check on Fiona to see if she’s
asleep or not.”
Since Victoria would be accompanying them from now on, Nathan wasn’t worried

anymore. Hence, he nodded obediently.
“Okay, Mommy.”
Victoria carried Nathan onto the bed, then placed him in the center spot. Then, after
pulling the blankets over Nathan and Nicole, she put on her shoes and went out.
She went to Fiona’s room first. She knocked on the door for some time, but nothing
stirred within.
“Fiona?”
Still, no one responded, so Victoria opened the door and walked in. Just as
expected, the room was empty. Fiona wasn’t there.
Victoria pursed her lips, then had no choice but to turn around and close the main.
door of the house.
It was only then that she realized Fiona’s outdoor shoes were gone. Even the coat
she placed on the couch when she returned had disappeared.
Victoria knew very well the reason Fiona ran out at this hour. After all, she had just
come home from the hotel with Fiona.

She simply didn’t expect Fiona to be so bold that Fiona would sneak out after
coming home with her. She was a little mad but also a little exasperated. How can
she do that?

Victoria could only dial Fiona’s number. Fiona was probably feeling guilty because
she didn’t pick up the few calls from Victoria.
Victoria could only go for the second–best option as she sent Fiona a message. ‘Do
you want me to abandon the two children at home in the middle of the night just to
look for you?‘
This time, Fiona replied in no time. ‘No, please don’t come out, Nicole and Nathan.
need someone to look after them. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be careful on my own.
I’m an adult, Victoria, you don’t have to worry about me.”
Perhaps fearing that Victoria would keep bothering her, Fiona sent another
message before Victoria could reply. ‘Honestly, Victoria, even though we’re living
together, I want us to have freedom in our own lives!
After that, even though Fiona didn’t state anything explicitly, Victoria understood
what Fiona meant.
Victoria pursed her lips and put her phone away.

It was true that adults shouldn’t interfere too much in others‘ business, but… since.
she knew that Alaric was dating Claudia, she was obliged to tell her friend about it.
She originally wanted to tell Fiona the news after the latter woke up the next day.
However, she didn’t expect Fiona to go out tonight. Fiona can’t even wait one night.
After thinking about it, Victoria sent Fiona a message. ‘Fiona, I have something to
talk to you about. Let’s call, all right?‘
However, after Victoria sent the message, she never received another reply from
Fiona. Victoria tried to be patient as she waited another 2 minutes, but she still
didn’t get any reply. Out of options, she could only dial Fiona’s number.
Sorry, the phone you are calling is turned off. Please try again later.
The cold machine–like voice sounded from the other end of the line, causing
Victoria’s heart to sink.
She suddenly stood up from the couch. Turned off?

Victoria?
Victoria couldn’t decide. She knew people needed their own space, and there should.

be a certain distance between every individual. However, she couldn’t just ignore
everything and go to sleep.
When she remembered what Fiona said before turning off the phone, she felt that at
that moment, if she did something, Fiona might be offended.
Even though she and Fiona hadn’t been friends for very long, they had always been
on good terms with each other. If possible, she sincerely didn’t want to hurt her
friend.
After some thinking, Victoria suppressed her urge and went back to her room, then
proceeded to lie down.
Nathan wasn’t asleep; he was still waiting for her.
Seeing that Victoria was back, he immediately scooted to the side and patted the
spot next to him with his little hand. “Mommy.”
With complicated emotions, she took off her coat and lay down.
She had just laid her head on the pillow when the little guy immediately found hist
way into her embrace and hugged her. “Mommy, are you troubled?”

Chapter 207 Want Us to Have Freedom
When Victoria heard that, she returned to her senses and looked at Nathan in
apology. She didn’t think that Nathan would figure out her feelings so soon.
Nathan and Nicole were twins, so they were supposed to be the same age.
However, perhaps because of the few extra seconds Nathan had ahead of Nicole,
he was especially caring and considerate.
He could immediately sense her tiniest changes in emotion.
Even though he was only 5 years old, he was even more considerate than most
adults.

Victoria pushed her complicated emotions out of the way as she hugged him tightly.
“That’s not true, Nathan. It’s getting late, so let’s get to sleep.”
Nathan blinked, looking at her in half–confusion. He didn’t say more as he obediently
closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Soon, Nathan’s breaths turned slow and regular.
“Nathan?” Victoria whispered his name a few times. After making sure that there
was no response from Nathan, which meant that he was fast asleep, she finally got
up slowly and took her phone to the living room to make a call.

After about half an hour, Victoria got up and opened the door, letting Bane in.
“What happened?”
As soon as Bane came in, he saw Victoria in her loungewear, and his expression
instantly shifted.

“I’m sorry for calling you over so late in the night, Bane, but I just arrived in Jasea,
and I don’t know many people-”
Before she could finish speaking, Bane suddenly gripped her wrist.
Victoria was shocked.
“Your hands are ice–cold! Didn’t you realize how little you’re wearing?”
