That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Olivia had intended to make a quick phone call to the research institute, informing them of her delayed arrival.

But Gabriel happened to answer the call, and before she could say anything, he started talking about a project they were rushing to complete these past couple of days. There was a set of data in it that he couldn’t quite understand, and Olivia found herself engrossed in the conversation.

Unexpectedly, as they delved into their work discussion, they lost track of time.

It was only when she faintly heard Victor’s voice from downstairs that Olivia snapped back to reality and remembered to end the call. She hastily ended the call and rushed downstairs.

She almost forgot that Victor was coming over.

The two little ones were still downstairs, keeping Sophia company.

Olivia couldn’t help but worry about the potential consequences if Victor were to meet them.

The thought filled her with anxiety.

However, by the time she reached downstairs and tried to prevent them from meeting, it was already too late.

As Olivia turned the corner of the staircase, she immediately spotted a man standing by the carpet.

In front of him, the three little ones were huddled together, tidying up the Legos on the carpet, which were almost put away.

Seemingly aware of her presence downstairs, Victor turned around and looked at her with an indifferent expression.

When their eyes met, Olivia couldn’t help but freeze for a moment. She pinched her palm to regain her composure and greeted the man as if nothing had happened, “You’re here.”

Victor gave a cold nod but kept his gaze fixed on her. Emotions were obscure in his eyes.

Olivia couldn’t help but feel guilty, thinking about the two little ones who were already exposed to Victor. She couldn’t suppress her anxiety and asked, “So… are you taking Sophia back now, or…?”

She was afraid that Victor had discovered the children’s background and would want to sit down and talk with her.

However, Victor mistakenly thought she was politely asking him to leave. His face turned slightly cold, “We’ll leave now. Don’t worry, we won’t stay at your place for too long.”

Turning his attention to Sophia, who was still sluggishly picking up Legos, he inquired. “Are you done cleaning up? It’s time to go back.”

Sophia didn’t want to leave in the first place, so she deliberately slowed down her actions. But Sebastian and Ethan were quicker, and they had already tidied up most of the Legos.

Upon hearing her father’s urging, Sophia reluctantly stood up, her watery eyes filled with reluctance as she looked at Olivia, not far away.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Olivia’s heart softened when she met the little girl’s gaze. However, with Victor present and considering what happened yesterday, she couldn’t say any comforting words.

“Say thank you and come with me,” Victor said in a cold and stern tone.

Sophia’s expression became even more dejected, and she looked at Olivia with hopeful eyes, wishing that the beautiful lady would invite her to come over again next time.

But after waiting for a while, not a single word was spoken.

Sophia lowered her gaze in disappointment.

“Miss Prescott has to go to work, and we shouldn’t disturb her,” Victor urged.

Reluctantly, Sophia picked up a small notebook and began writing on it. It took her quite some time to write a simple “thank you.”

When she finally finished, she held it up towards Victor.

“Daddy, can I come and play with the pretty lady and the little boys again next time? I want to be friends with them.”

Everyone present saw the words on the notebook.

In Olivia’s and the two little ones’ eyes, a hint of distress flashed, but because of Victor’s expression, they couldn’t say anything after all.

Victor glanced at their reaction, then looked at his daughter, who depended on them. Clenching his teeth, he replied, “No.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sophia’s expression instantly crumbled. Her eyes welled up with tears, her quivering lips silent as she silently wept, displaying true heartbreak.
