Chapter 528 The Best of Both Worlds

• Five minutes later, Alaric returned after his phone call. In the meantime, Victoria happened to be sitting not far away from him but didn't ask him anything about the call he had received. Upon sitting down on the couch, he peeked at Victoria but failed to meet her gaze as she didn't look at him at all. Thus, he only continued to sit there without saying a single word. Because of that, the atmosphere became somewhat strange and weird.
• Not knowing how long had passed, Nicole eventually fell asleep in Victoria's arms while playing with her Lego. Due to the chilly weather, it was easy for the child to catch a cold, although there was a rug on the floor. For that, Victoria was about to carry Nicole elsewhere, but before she could do that, a tall silhouette came over and carried the child instead. "Let me take care of it."
• As Victoria was about to insist that she could do it herself due to Alaric's wound, the man had already carried Nicole in his arms with great ease. Why does it look like he is carrying our daughter so easily like a pet? Wait a second, that's not how I should describe my child! Victoria couldn't help but feel amazed with how effortlessly Alaric was able to handle their sleeping daughter despite the injury he was suffering from. What if he wasn't wounded? Wouldn't it be even easier for him to take care of Nicole if he wasn't hurt at all? Victoria was impressed by how tough Alaric could be.
