When Victoria heard that, che was instantly stunned.
How could Nicole have thoughts about loneliness and similar feelings?
Victoria frowned slightly, but she quickly smoothened out the frown as she bent down.
and beckoned at Nicole.
Nicole walked over to her and entered her embrace.
“Mommy.”
“Who taught you those words just now?” Victoria asked in a small voice.
When Nicole heard that, she said in a quiet voice, “No one taught me, Mommy. I
thought of it myself. You peeked through the window as soon as you came back, so
weren’t you looking at Mr. Night, Mommy?”
Victoria said, “No, I was just drawing the curtains.”
“But I saw you peeking through the gap in the curtains.”
Victoria fell silent.
Chapter 315 Foresight
Is she really my daughter? Why does she keep speaking on someone else’s behalf?
At that thought, Victoria couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Nicole’s cheeks, scolding
lightly, “Nicole, why do you keep talking back to Mommy these days?”
Nicole’s cheeks were soft and tender, so when Victoria pinched them, they instantly
turned pink. Nicole blinked and said innocently, “But Mommy, I’m telling the truth.”
Forget it. She’s just five years old. Even if I try to explain, she probably can’t understand.
Victoria could only give up, but she had to teach Nicole properly too.
“Nicole, can you promise me one thing?”
“What is it, Mommy?”
“Next time, when Mr. Night is around, just follow everything Mommy says. You can’t

When Nicole heard that, she didn’t agree right away. Instead, she said with a curious.
expression, “Mommy, do you not like Mr. Night?”
She finally asked that question.

Victoria nodded immediately.
“I don’t like him.”
“Then do you hate Mr. Night, Mommy?”
What answer was she supposed to give?
If she said yes, what lesson would her daughter learn from this?
After thinking for a moment, Victoria said in a light voice, “Nicole, are you happy playing
with Zack recently? Do you like him?”
When Nicole heard that, she nodded.
“Yes.”
“Then what about the boy sitting in front of you? Do you like him too?”
Nicole thought earnestly for a moment, then shook her head. “I don’t like him, Mommy.”
“Oh, you don’t like him? Then do you hate him?”
Nicole seemed to understand what Victoria was trying to say, and she looked at

Victoria, half–bewildered.
“So, even if you don’t like someone, it doesn’t mean you hate them, right?”
“I understand now, Mommy.”
Victoria finally felt a little assured when she heard that. However, the good feeling didn’t
last for more than a few seconds, because Nicole continued, “Then you should play
with Mr. Night, Mommy. He’s honestly a good person.”
Victoria was speechless.
Never mind.
Victoria could only say in a quiet voice, “Nicole, go back to your room for now. I’ll call
you for dinner later.”
“Mommy, does this mean you agree to play with Mr. Night?”
“I’ll consider it later.”
“Okay.”
Nicole could do nothing but leave.
Chapter 315 Foresight
When Nicole was gone, Victoria stood where she was. The smile and gentleness on her
face disappeared, and a troubled look took over.
Was it because of their blood relation?
Why was Nicole so dependent on Alaric? Not just Nicole, but when they were at Bane’s
place at night, Victoria saw Nathan’s expression and behavior when Alaric carried him.
Nathan didn’t seem to resist Alaric either.
The two children seemed to be able to accept him without realizing it.
Also, about what happened today…
Victoria kept feeling that something was off when she thought back on the events.
today.
Bane wasn’t a careless man. How could he suddenly pick up the children but forget to
inform her?
Even if he forgot, Ethan wouldn’t.
But it was just one occurrence. She couldn’t assume something bad about Bane simply
from this incident.
Chapter 315 Foresight
Victoria flung herself onto the couch, sinking into the cushion as she closed her eyes
and rested.
The next morning.
To avoid Alaric, Victoria purposefully took the children out half an hour ahead. She
would take them out for breakfast today.
When Alaric came later, he would have missed his mark.
She planned everything, but she had just gotten downstairs when she saw a Stretch
Lincoln parked on the ground floor. Terrance was leaning against the car, yawning. He
looked like he would fall asleep at any moment.
Victoria only looked at him for a few seconds, but Terrance had already yawned twice in
fatigue. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Just as he was about to yawn a third time, he suddenly noticed Victoria coming
downstairs with the two children. He gave up yawning, and he didn’t look tired anymore
as he perked up and walked toward her, calling out to her loudly, “Good morning, Miss
Selwyn.”
Victoria was speechless.
She had some unpleasant words to say to him.
Terrance blocked her way with just a few steps, saying excitedly, “Miss Selwyn, I didn’t
think that you’d come down so early. On the way here, I even told Mr. Cadogan that it’s
not necessary to come here so early to wait for you, but Mr. Cadogan said that you’d
come down earlier. What foresight!”
As he spoke, the car door opened, and Alaric got out of the car in his formal outfit.
“Mr. Night!”
Nicole immediately greeted Alaric, and she even ran up to him.
Victoria was speechless.
Nicole seemed to have forgotten everything she told her last night.
Alaric bent down and quickly picked Nicole up. He was wearing formal attire today,
which consisted of a suit and a tie, complete with a long gray coat on top. He looked
extra neat and dignified.
Nicole, who was wearing a milky white coat, looked like a soft rice dumpling in his
arms. They shared similar vibes, and when they were next to each other, they looked
even more alike.
Victoria closed her eyes. She truly didn’t want to witness this scene.
“Miss Selwyn. Miss Nicole, Mr. Nathan, and you came down so early, so you must not
have eaten breakfast yet, correct?”
Victoria pursed her lips in silence.
When Terrance saw her ignoring him, he put on a sheepish look and stopped speaking.
Alaric walked up to Victoria, carrying Nicole in his arms. He lowered his head to glance
at Nathan, who was beside Victoria and had subconsciously leaned backward. Then,
his gaze went back to Victoria’s face.
“Come on, I’ll take you all to breakfast.”
Victoria stood where she was, unmoving. She simply looked coldly at Alaric.
Alaric raised an eyebrow when he saw that, then reached out toward Nathan.
“Let’s go, Nathan.”

Nathan looked at the strong hands extended to him. He pursed his lips, but he didn’t.
reach out.
Even though the hands were completely different from Victoria’s.
Victoria’s hands were soft, small, and pale. However, Alaric’s hands were huge, and they
looked very safe.
But Victoria didn’t like Alaric. Nathan lowered his gaze to avoid looking at Alaric.
Alaric could tell what Nathan was thinking, but he didn’t force the boy. He carried Nicole
into the car first. Nicole, now in the car, waved repeatedly at Victoria and Nathan.
“Mommy, Nathan, hurry and get in!”
Victoria took in a deep breath. She felt someone tugging a corner of her clothes, and
her gaze met Nathan’s. She smiled lightly and said in a soft voice, “Go ahead.”
