Departure with a Belly ( Victoria Selwyn & Alaric Cadogan’s ) -
Departure with a Belly Chapter 292
Chapter 292
1/7
Although Alaric seemed to have half succeeded, he knew he couldn’t win over Nathan’s
heart that easily. If something went wrong with the other half of his success, all his
efforts would go down the drain.
His son was young but had a mature personality, which was exactly the same as him
during his childhood.
Suddenly, Alaric hated his personality because it made his son even harder to win over.
After Nicole was done, she led Zack away to play while Nathan stayed to help Alaric
clean up. Despite his young age, he didn’t complain and seemed good at doing chores.
Meanwhile, Alaric was quietly watching from the side and pursed his lips. “I’ll clean.
You can go and play with the others.
up.
However, Nathan quietly shook his head. “No, thank you. Mommy said we shouldn’t
take things for granted. I can make some contributions.”
Alaric chuckled when he heard that. “You shouldn’t take things for granted?”
“Yes.”

After thinking about it, Alaric smiled and offered, “Sure. Then, can you put in a few good
words about me with your mother? You won’t be taking my kindness for granted if you
say more good things about me.”
As if hearing something shocking, Nathan raised his head to look at Alaric, probably not
expecting the man would say such a thing.
At the sight of his son looking at him, Alaric asked with a smile. “What’s the matter? Is it
a hard task for you?”
Then, he saw the little fellow pursing his tiny lips without saying anything.
The scene made Alaric sigh, and he squatted before the child. “Nathan?”
“Mr. Night?”
“Do you hate me a lot?”
Maybe the term “hate” was too strong of a word. The little fellow shook his head. “No, I
don’t hate you.”
“You don’t hate me, but do you like me? Would you agree if I said I wanted to be
father?”

Nathan stared at him, still not saying anything.
But Alaric wasn’t anxious, and the two quietly stared into each other’s eyes for a long
while before Nathan softly said, “Mr. Night, it’s not up to me to decide that.”
“Oh? Then, who should be the one making the decision? Your mommy?”
Nathan nodded. “Yes.”
“Does that mean you will also agree to that if your mommy agrees?”
Though Nathan didn’t reply, his expression and attitude already admitted what Alaric
said was right. However, it also made things even harder for Alaric because he didn’t
need to think to know that he might not win back Victoria even if he managed to win
over the two children. As for getting back together, that was even more impossible.

In fact, there were other methods to get what he wanted. The children were his, after
all, so he could easily force Victoria to return to him, but as Terrance said, she left Alaric
five
years ago because he had hurt her, so what right did he have to demand that she
return to him?
While thinking of that, Alaric rubbed Nathan’s head. “Alright, you should head inside. I’ll
take over from here.”

This time, Nathan didn’t refuse and nodded, but when he was about to enter the door,
he suddenly turned around and asked, “Mr. Night, do you know my mommy?”
It was strange because they met at the airport by chance, and Nathan heard Alaric
talking on the phone. Whenever Alaric spoke, his voice sounded cold and flat, and his
face hadn’t much emotion. He also seemed like a fierce man with a strong
temperament.

However, that man turned out to be Silent Night, and he even wanted to be their father.
That was confusing to Nathan, and he suspected perhaps Mr. Night and his mother
knew each other, which was why he sent so many rewards whenever they went on a
live stream.
Once he asked that question, Alaric froze but soon returned to normal. He stood there
and looked at the tiny Nathan, wondering how a small child like Nathan could be so
sharp.
Such a question couldn’t have been asked on a whim, so Alaric tugged his lips into a
meaningful smile and then returned the question to Nathan.
“What do you think is the answer?”
Nathan moved his lips but didn’t say anything.

C***g. That was the only word in Nathan’s mind that fitted well with Silent Night’s
overall temperament. Then, Nathan suddenly had a feeling that his mother would
certainly lose to Mr. Night when it came to scheming against someone.
When that thought emerged, Nathan suddenly became warier.
Meanwhile, Alaric was stunned because he wasn’t expecting his question would alert
the little fellow. That meant that Nathan not only understood the meaning behind the
question but also thought of something else.
It seemed like Nathan was, indeed, his son-smart.

However, Alaric did not want Nathan to distance himself from him because he couldn’t
get on Nathan’s good side otherwise. So, he approached Nathan and rubbed his head
again, explaining, “Yes, your mommy and I sort of know each other, but let’s keep that a
secret between us, okay?”
When Nathan heard that, he felt puzzled. “You know my mommy? But does Mommy
know who you are?”
Alaric pursed his lips. Although the child before him was only five years old, it was
better to speak the truth when he exhibited such shocking alertness. Therefore, Alaric
gave it a brief thought before answering, “Yes, she does.”

A shocked expression appeared on Nathan’s usually expressionless face. “Mr. Night?”

“But I did something wrong, so your mommy refuses to see me. I want to make it up to
her, so can you help me keep this a secret?”
“Will you hurt my mommy?”
“Never.” Alaric shook his head. “I promise you that I will never hurt your mommy.”
The little fellow seemed to have fallen into deep thought. In the meantime, Alaric
patiently waited for the child to give him an answer.
A long while later, the little fellow raised his head. “Well… I can help you keep this a
secret for now.”
At that answer, Alaric smiled slightly. “Thank you, Nate.”
“Can I call you that from now on?” It sounded a little strange since it was the first time
he called Nathan so affectionately.
A trace of unease appeared in Nathan’s eyes, but he tried to act calm. “Sure.”
Once Nathan said that, Alaric rubbed the child’s head again, but this time, he didn’t
remove his hand from the child’s head. Instead, he explained, “From now on, Nathan,

you
don’t have to be so nervous and cautious when you’re with me. You can be like
Nicole and try to rely on me. I will take good care of you two.”
When Nathan heard that, he didn’t know why, but he suddenly teared up. He’s right.
Even if I’m the older sibling and have to act more responsibly, I’m only a five-year-old!
