Departure with a Belly (Alaric and Victoria)

Chapter 310

His words made Victoria frown upsettingly. “Stop pretending! If the twins are not with

you, then where are they?”

Alaric already had a hunch when she asked for the twins earlier. Moreover, Victoria

should’ve brought the twins back home at this time instead of coming here and asking

him for the twins.

Thinking of a possibility, Alaric grabbed Victoria’s shoulder and squinted his eyes,

asking, “Have the twins gone missing?”

Taken aback, Victoria retorted, “What do you mean by that, Alaric? You should know

best why the twins have gone missing!”

At that, Alaric frowned. “They’ve gone missing, huh?”

Victoria fell silent in response. He didn’t answer my question or divert the conversation.

but instead repeatedly verified the fact that Nathan and Nicole have gone missing.

Could it be…

“Were you not the one who took Nathan and Nicole away?”

The next second, Alaric walked past her and out of the bedroom, whereas Victoria

hurriedly turned around to catch up.

“Alaric-”

“Hold on.” Alaric signaled her not to speak as he held his phone. However, it was then.

he realized his phone was dead.

It would be too slow to wait for it to charge and turn on, so he extended a hand to

Victoria. “Give me your phone.”

“Why?”

“To call Terrance.”

Victoria hesitated for a moment but eventually handed him her phone.

Alaric, on the other hand, called Terrance right away, and as soon as Terrance

answered, he immediately informed them that the twins were missing. “Have someone

retrieve the kindergarten’s surveillance immediately to see who took the twins away.

Also, have others investigate the surrounding area.”

Meanwhile, Victoria furrowed her brows while listening to his words, and after he hung

up the phone, she asked, “Are Nicole and Nathan really not with you?”

Chapter 310 You’ve Already Figured it Out?

She still didn’t quite believe that anyone besides Alaric would take the children away

without informing her. Besides Alaric, who she believed wanted to take the children

away from her, Victoria couldn’t think of anyone else.

“Does it look like there have been signs of children here?” Alaric asked while returning.

her phone.

“No, but who knows if you deliberately hid them away?!”

“Why would I hide them away, Victoria?” Alaric asked helplessly after a split–second

stupefaction. “Am I a child trafficker?”

While biting her lower lip, Victoria thought, You might not be a child trafficker, but you’re

more terrifying than one. However, she ultimately didn’t voice her thoughts.

Just then, Alaric, who had been standing in place talking to her, walked toward the

wardrobe. Thinking he was trying to avoid the situation, Victoria followed him again.

“Are you sure the twins aren’t here? Are you not lying to me, Alaric? I can’t think of

anyone else but you who’d take Nicole and Nathan away.”

Alaric opened the wardrobe expressionlessly and paused momentarily after hearing her

words, then said, “First, explain clearly what the teacher said to you when you went to

Chapter 310 You’ve Already Figured it Out?

pick them up.”

Victoria recalled the teacher telling her that the children’s father had come to pick them

1. up.

After explaining the situation truthfully, Alaric let out a cold laugh. “Father? I left at

noon. Who the hell picked them up? Is the teacher out of their mind?”

Victoria was rendered at a loss for words.

Alaric was about to pick out a shirt when something occurred to him, and his

countenance turned grimmer. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Victoria.

“Think carefully. Is there really no one else besides me who’d take the twins away?

Nicole and Nathan aren’t ordinary children. They’re very smart and wouldn’t simply walk

away with strangers.”

Victoria fell silent at that. Yeah, Nicole and Nathan aren’t ordinary kids. They have

always been exceptionally clever. Even if Nicole is a little naive, Nathan would never

simply get into a stranger’s car. In other words, someone familiar must’ve taken them!

However, who could have them get into their car willingly, address them as ‘father,‘ and

even have the motive to take them away?

Victoria pondered seriously for a while, then lifted her gaze. “I really can’t think of

Chapter 310 You’ve Already Figured It Out?

anyone else but you.”

Alaric was rendered speechless, and he almost laughed with anger. “Victoria Selwyn,

do you think I’d waste my time telling you all this if I really have any motives? What can

you do to me even if I tell you straight that the twins are here with me?”

Victoria pursed her lips, looking somewhat stubborn. “Who else could it be besides you,

though?”

“Who do you think?” Alaric retorted.

“What do you mean? Have you already figured it out?”

Alaric replied to her with a cold snort and put on a white dress shirt while saying, “You’ll

find out soon enough.”

Seeing him like that, Victoria couldn’t help but think that he was teasing her, and just as

she was about to press on, Alaric suddenly pulled off the towel around his waist.

Victoria, who hadn’t paid attention to anything before, finally reacted, and she stared

wide–eyed at Alaric with incredulity.

A long while later, Alaric smirked and asked, “Have you seen enough?”

His voice brought Victoria back to reality, and she snapped at once. “Are you out of your

mind?!”

“Isn’t it because you want to watch me change that you’ve been standing here instead

of leaving?” Alaric pressed his lips into a fine line, put on his pants indifferently,

fastened his belt, and clasped up the belt buckle expressionlessly.

Though Victoria had seen him in his birthday suit five years ago, still…

Her ears flushed, but at the thought of how shameless Alaric behaved, she couldn’t

help wanting to upset him. “Well, jokes on you. I’ve seen so many hunks over my five

years abroad that I’ve gotten sick and tired of them. Why would I stick around to watch

you?”

Alaric paused from buttoning his shirt at that, and his aura changed accordingly.

He slowly turned his head around, his raven–black eyes fixed intently on Victoria. “What

did you say?”

“Did you not hear me? Shall I repeat it to you?”

He didn’t answer but continued to stare intently at her.

Mon,

Chapter 310 You’ve Already Figured It Out?

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and said icily, “Let’s find the twins first.”

חד

If it weren’t that the twins were currently missing, Alaric would’ve made sure she knew

the consequences of deliberately provoking him.

“If you didn’t take Nicole and Nathan away, then it has nothing to do with you. I will find

them myself!” Victoria snapped angrily before walking away. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

After descending the stairs and exiting the villa, she came face to face with a black.

sedan parked in front of her.

Seeing this car, Victoria was speechless. He doesn’t even bother hiding anymore now

that I’ve discovered him, eh?

The car window rolled down, and Alaric’s handsome, indifferent side profile appeared.

“Get in.”

“No need. I’ll look for them myself.”

“I know where they are.”

His words made Victoria stop, and he gazed intently at her. “Get in. I’ll take you to them.”

Mon, 3
