pivotal part was eating and having sufficient sleep.

Not only did she serve herself, but she also brought the kids their food, exhorting them,
“Eat up.”

No one knew what the children were thinking, but they gobbled up the food like it was
their last meal.
“Slow down.” Bane was afraid they might choke, so he reminded them.
Unfortunately, the three did not seem to hear him because they quickly ate all their food
and wiped their mouths.
“Let’s go.”
Once Victoria left, the children followed behind her. They moved so swiftly that they
soon left Bane’s line of sight.
He and Donald were left speechless. The atmosphere in the room instantly turned
awkward, and Donald tentatively spoke up after a while, “Mr. Mo-”
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Bane. “Don’t talk while eating.”

In the end, Donald could only zip up.
Bane seemed unaffected by it and sat there, slowly finishing his plate of food before
elegantly wiping his lips and getting up. “Get them to prepare a plate of desserts and
send them upstairs at around 10.00AM.”
Donald replied, “Yes, Mr. Morison.”
Seeing Bane walk away, Donald could not help but praise him for his good temper but
then saw the crumpled–up tissue when he approached the table. His face fell slightly
before he quickly cleaned up.
“Mommy, will Mr. Bane be mad at us if we treat him like that?”

After having their meal and returning to their room, the mother and children trio began
their discussion. Nicole was the first to ask questions, to which Victoria replied, “Mad?
It’d be better if he is. Perhaps he would send us away.”
Although she did not tell the kids they were confined to this house, she knew they were
smart and would sense something amiss about their situation without her telling them,
just like what happened at breakfast. She asked them to eat up, so they quickly ate

their food and followed her upstairs. They worked together seamlessly and got back at
Bane. It was such a great feeling because Victoria felt like she and her babies had a
tacit understanding of each other.
She reached over to rub Nicole’s head and praised her happily, “You did great today.
Keep up the good work.”
Having gotten praised, Nicole hugged Victoria’s arm. “Thank you, Mommy, for the
compliment. I’ll work harder in the future.”
Meanwhile, Nathan watched them and could not help pinching Nicole’s chubby cheeks.
“Nathan, you’re so mean. I forbid you from pinching me.” She pushed his hand away
and snuggled into Victoria’s arms.
Later, the three did the same routine during lunch and dinner. They did not resist and
went downstairs for their meal every time, but no matter what Bane told them, they
would not reply. Instead, they would just focus on eating. The three carried on with
their lives as normal but ignored Bane like he did not exist.
That act persisted until the next day when Donald could not stand it anymore. However,
he dared not speak because Bane was still eating. Once he finished his meal, Donald
asked, “Mr. Morison, aren’t you mad?”
Chapter 398 A Damned Hopeless Romantic
“What for?”
Donald felt sorry for Bane. “Aren’t you mad at them for treating you like this?”
Hearing that, Bane smiled indifferently. “They’re right in front of me, staying here with
me, and are mine. What’s there to be mad about?”
Donald was rendered speechless, but there was one phrase in his mind, a damned
hopeless romantic.
“As long as they’re with me, they can do whatever they want. Don’t mind them.”
“I understand, Mr. Morison.”
Since the one involved did not find it upsetting, an outsider like Donald was in no
position to say anything.

For two consecutive days, Victoria did not see Ethan anywhere when she came down
for her meal or walk, not even his shadow. On the third day, she could not stand it
anymore and instructed the children after breakfast, “Head upstairs first.”
The two immediately understood and left, leaving only Bane, Victoria, and Donald on
the side.

Bane was yet to finish his food but still set down his spoon and smiled at her. “Is there
anything you need?”

Without beating around the bush, she asked, “Where’s Mr. Hudson?”
“Do you need him for something?”
“Yes.”
“I’ve sent him out on an assignment. What would you like him to do? How about I get
someone else to help?”
Donald, standing on the side, immediately volunteered himself. “That’s right, Miss
Selwyn. Mr. Hudson is quite busy, but I can offer my assistance if you need anything.”
The butler, who nearly never spoke during meals, piped up today. What are they trying
to hide?
“I don’t want anyone else but him,” Victoria demanded.
The words Bane said the other day worried her, but she thought he would not punish
Ethan too severely after discovering what had happened since Ethan had been his
trustworthy assistant. At most, he might be punished or have his salary cut.
Chapter 399 A Damned Hopeless Romantic
Victoria believed Ethan might have prepared to face those consequences, but now, it
seemed like it was not as simple as she thought. It had been two days since she last
saw him, and that worried her.
Bane looked at her gently. “Victoria, must it be Mr. Hudson?”
She nodded determinedly. “Do you mean to say I can’t see him anymore?”
“That’s not true.” Bane smiled. “If you need him, I’ll just call him back.”
