SWNOVELS Departure with a Belly Chapter 432
Chapter 432
was an entirely different feeling when they flew here and when they were returning
home, but both did not feel good. She was only thankful that both children were by her
side when they came and left.
After Terrance received Alaric’s text, he told the Cadogan couple about the twins before
they boarded the plane. Once the couple found out, they were shocked and silent for a
long while before replying, “We’re heading home immediately. When will your flight
arrive? We’ll head over to pick you up.”
Terrance then relayed the Cadogan couple’s words to Victoria, making her feel slightly
embarrassed. That was because it had been a long while since she last saw them, and
she did not expect they would meet again five years later. Also, she was not sure how
they were going to get along when they finally met again.
He could only guess her thoughts by looking at her expression as he had no idea what
she was thinking about. When he saw that she seemed to dislike the idea, he carefully
asked, “Miss Selwyn, Mr. Cadogan said that you could tell me if you have any worries or
feel uncomfortable about this. We can stop this at any time.”
That surprised Victoria, and she looked at Terrance inquisitively. “Can we stop at any
time?”
Terrance nodded. “Yes.”

“Didn’t you already tell them?” It would be alright to stop before Terrance told the

couple, but now that they had found out about the children, why should she stop them
from meeting their grandchildren? Wouldn’t that disappoint them?
“I did.” Terrance nodded again. “But Mr. Cadogan said that your feelings are my priority.
If you’re worried or uncomfortable with this, you can stop it anytime you want. You don’t
have to worry about what will happen next because I will take care of it.”
Victoria did not expect what Alaric said was true. That realization made her curve her
red lips into a smile. “I’m not uncomfortable with anything. It’s just that the last time I
saw them was five years ago. I don’t know how to face or get along with them now.”
As Terrance did not expect that answer, he was happy for Alaric and quickly reassured
her, “Don’t worry, Miss Selwyn. When I first contacted Mrs. Cadogan, she seemed very
concerned for you and asked a lot of questions about you.”
“Really?”
She left without saying anything back then, and Griselda… passed away soon after that.
Victoria did not even get to see Griselda for the last time. At first, she thought she
would never see the Cadogans again, but she did not expect to see them again after all
this. Besides, the two children still had no idea about this matter, so she decided to tell
them the truth after a brief moment of contemplation.
“Nicole, Nathan, someone will be picking us up at the airport when we arrive.
Chapter 432 Didn’t You Say Daddy Is Dead
When the two children heard that, they immediately looked over. “Mommy, who will be
coming to fetch us?”

“Uhm… To be more precise, they’re your grandparents.” Victoria thought about it and
told the children the truth.
“Our grandparents?”
“Yes.” She held their small hands and gently asked, “Don’t you want Mr. Night to be your
daddy?”
Nicole immediately perked up. “Mommy, does this mean you agree to let Mr. Night be
our daddy?”
Meanwhile, Nathan was shocked because his mother obviously had not agreed to that
before boarding the plane, and he did not expect her to change ideas after getting on
the plane. Did something happen without him knowing?
Victoria nodded. “Yes. Are you glad? Didn’t you say you wanted him to be your father?”
“Yes, I am.” Nicole happily threw herself into her mother’s arms. Unfortunately, they
were on a plane, and both had their seatbelts on, so she could not get on her mother’s
lap.
Therefore, Victoria could only let Nicole hold her hand to show how delighted she was.

“Mommy, does Mr. Night know about this?”
Does he know about this? Victoria smiled gently. He will know once he returns home.
“He will find out later.”
“Then, are Grandpa and Grandma nice? Are they Mr. Night’s parents?”
“Yes, they are. They’re warm–hearted and easy to get along with, so don’t worry. Also,
they’re…” Victoria hesitated momentarily before continuing, “They’re your biological
grandparents.”
When Nicole heard that, her eyes instantly widened in shock. “Our biological
grandparents?”
“Yes.”

Victoria looked at Nathan while patting her daughter’s head. “Can you understand what
I’m saying? Mr. Night is your biological father.”
Nathan quickly nodded his head to indicate he understood.
On the other hand, Nicole pondered for a long while. Then, as if she suddenly realized
something, her eyes widened. “But Mommy, didn’t you say… our father is dead?”
Victoria fell silent, while Terrance, who was eavesdropping, was at a loss too. Now

that’s embarrassing. How did things turn out like this?
Meanwhile, she felt embarrassed too. It would be less embarrassing if Terrance weren’t
here because she could explain the truth to the children, but with Terrance here, she…
How did she know she would reconcile with Alaric after five years? She never thought
of such a possibility, so she just made an excuse according to her feelings back then.
So, Victoria simply smiled and explained, “Well, he came back to life.
He was rendered utterly speechless and felt his lips twitch as he swallowed his
laughter. If he weren’t afraid of offending Victoria, he would have said, “Miss Selwyn,
can you make up an even more outrageous excuse?”
She first said Alaric was dead, but now she said he had returned from the dead. Her
words had clearly rendered the two children dumbfounded.
Victoria burst out laughing and tapped their noses when she caught sight of her
children’s utterly baffled expressions. “I was just kidding. Don’t tell me you believed
that?”
Nicole clutched her chest after hearing that. “You almost scared me to death.”
“Alright. Remember to be polite and address your elders once we get off the plane.
Understand?”
Chapter 432 Didn’t You Say Daddy Is Dead
“I understand, Mommy.”
“Yes, Mommy.”
The two children answered in unison, making them look adorable. The two also
understood that since she changed the topic, it meant she did not want to talk about
the previous topic anymore.

At that moment, Victoria could not help but remember what happened in the past. The
children were young back then and did not realize anything, but when they gradually
got to know their neighbors and made new friends, they gradually understood their
situation.
One day, the two children came home and tugged on her dress, asking, “Mommy,
Mommy, why do the other children have a father while we don’t?”
Since Victoria was still feeling devastated and thought she would never see Alaric
again, she replied, “Because he’s dead.”
Although she knew that might scare the children, she had to stop them from thinking
about it, so she gave them a resolute answer. Who would have thought reality would
prove her wrong? Therefore, she had no choice but to cover up her lies with… more lies
apparently.
