Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 288

Victoria looked at the boy and asked, “What’s your name, boy?”

“Z–Zack. Zack Anderson.”

Zack Anderson? Same last name as the guy I gave the money too. Must be really close.

“Who’s the guy who took you to school? What’s your relationship with him?”

Zack knew what to answer. Terrance told him about it. “He’s my uncle.”

Is that so? Explains the same last name. She asked, “Will your uncle pick you up?”

Zack shook his head. “He’s busy, but his driver will pick me up.” Zack still remembered

what Alaric told him. He was usually forgetful, but Alaric was a scary man, so he

wouldn’t forget what Alaric told him.

“When’s the driver coming?”

“N–No idea.”

Victoria wasn’t keen on the idea of gossiping, but she was curious about Silent Night, This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

so she asked, “Why don’t I take you home?”

Chapter 288 No Idea

An expensive car came from behind, and a bespectacled driver quickly came to Zack.

Just when he was about to say something, he saw Victoria and froze for a moment,

then he bowed and greeted her. “Hello, Miss Selwyn.”

Victoria paused for a moment, then she looked at the driver, surprised. “You know me?

Who are you?”

The driver’s heart sank, Sh*t. Alaric had been working on this matter for a while, and he

knew what he should do to help out, but when he saw Victoria, the only thing he

remembered was that the boss thought greatly of this woman, so he bowed to her

instinctively. And that’s going to cost me a lot. “I…” Just when the driver was almost out

of excuses, he noticed the kids standing beside Victoria, and an excuse came to him.

“You were standing with the kids, so I thought you might be their mother.”

Victoria looked at the kids, and she didn’t buy the story. “Is that so?”

The driver was a little sheepish. “Yeah. I don’t know your name, but since the kids are.

named Selwyn, I made the assumption they took after your name. If that’s not it, I

apologize.”

“It’s alright.”

“I’ll be taking the boy now.”

“Sure. Goodbye.”

The driver quickly left with Zack, while Victoria saw them off. After they were gone, she

asked the kids to go with her. While she was buckling herself up, she was reminded of

the excuse the driver gave her. It sounded reasonable, but her gut told her things were

more than met the eye. He knows me, and I know why. We’ve never met, nor have we

ever talked, but his driver knows my name. He must have looked into my case. This is

why I hate this circle sometimes. Whenever someone wants to know someone, they

wouldn’t meet up with the person themselves. Instead, they just tell their underlings to

make a file for them.

These people could easily find out everything about her if they wanted to. She had no

secrets to hide, but she hated that someone was looking into her case. When she came

back home, she told the kids to do their homework, then she texted Silent Night. ‘Mr.

Anderson, my kids told me they’ve met you.’

Silent Night didn’t answer her at first. Ten minutes later, she checked her phone, and

there was still no message, yet she was in no hurry. The ball was in his court now, and

he must answer eventually. She texted, ‘Your boy was there too.‘ The nanny called her,

and Victoria said something. She was about to tuck her phone away and leave, but it

beeped. Silent Night answered immediately.

‘That’s not my boy.‘”

Victoria was surprised that he answered so quickly, and she cocked an eyebrow. He

replied instantly? So, he must’ve seen my text and chose to ignore it. Why? What’s he

hiding? Victoria narrowed her eyes, and her interest in this man was piqued. What is he

trying to do?

Silent Night added, ‘That’s my relative’s kid. I take care of him from time to time.’

Victoria smirked. ‘Is that so? You seem to be a busy man.‘

Silent Night was quiet for a while, then he texted, ‘Yeah. I’ve been busy lately.’

‘Do you have time now?‘

Alaric was about to get himself a glass of warm water, but he narrowed his eyes and

dashed that thought. Then he asked, ‘Why?‘ It’s late, and she asks a stranger if he has

time?

‘There’s something I want to ask you.’

Is that so? Alaric’s anger subsided. ‘Ask away.‘

‘You haven’t answered my question. You’ve seen my children, haven’t you?‘

Silent Night was quiet for a while, then he texted, ‘Obviously.‘

Obviously? Victoria’s face fell. ‘So obviously you know I’m a Selwyn.‘ She knew that if

this man was quick to temper, then he would either fire that driver who greeted her or

make his life hard. Sorry, but there are things I must make clear, and someone has to

take the fall for me.

Silent Night was surprised by the answer. A long silence later, he texted, ‘What do you

mean?”

‘Oh, I just think you should meet up with me if you want to know more about me,

Anderson.’

Mr.

Gah, so that’s what she’s getting at. The driver must’ve let something slip. That fool, he

cursed, but he didn’t show it. Alaric had no idea what the driver told her, but the fact she

still called him Mr. Anderson told him that she had no idea about his real identity. Must

be offended because she thinks I investigated her.

A while later, he asked Terrance for advice.

Terrance curtly said, “Apologize.”

“Apologize?”

“Yeah. If you don’t do that, it’s going to seriously hurt your reputation game with the

He hung up and considered that for a moment, then he texted Victoria, ‘I’m sorry. I didn’t.

mean to offend. I just asked around about the kids‘ parents.’

Asked around? ‘And who did you ask?‘
