Chapter 59: Can’t You Speak Nicely?
Victor had no experience in soothing children. Whenever Sophia threw a tantrum before, it was always Charlotte who comforted her.
Now, seeing his daughter burst into tears in front of Olivia, a moment of panic flashed through Victor’s mind. Finally, he sternly commanded with a dry face, “Stop crying.”
He thought his words lacked emotion.
But in Sophia’s ears, they sounded harsh.
As soon as the words fell, Sophia cried even harder. Tears streamed down her face like a continuous line. She lowered her head, choking and almost unable to catch her breath.
Victor furrowed his brow, unsure of how to react.
Seeing the little girl cry like this, Victor’s response as a father seemed cold. Olivia couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Is this how you treat a child? When a child is crying like this, you still speak to her in that tone? Can’t you speak nicely?”
Olivia scolded Victor suddenly, leaving him stunned.
Olivia quickly walked over to Sophia and squatted down, embracing the little girl in her arms. Her voice turned gentle. “Sophia, my dear, please don’t cry. If you like, you can come and play with us anytime you like. I will give you a contact number. Just give me a call when you come. Don’t cry anymore. Crying like this, you look like a little kitten, not beautiful at all.”
Sebastian and Ethan had already prepared tissues nearby.
While Olivia comforted Sophia, she handed tissue to wipe away the tears from the little girl’s eyes.
Sophia gradually stopped crying under Olivia’s soothing words and snuggled into her embrace, sniffling.
Olivia held the little girl tightly, gently patting her back with affection.
Sebastian and Ethan, seeing Sophia cry like this, felt a surge of anger. They stared straight at the man not far away, brimming with dissatisfaction.
“Why won’t you let Sophia be friends with us?” Sebastian couldn’t help but question. “We haven’t done anything to her, have we? Both times she got lost, it was our mommy who took care of her and treated her well. My brother and I played with her, and she was happy with us. We’re not bad people, so why can’t she be friends with us?”
Victor didn’t expect these little ones to dare to lecture him. He remained with a stern face, unsure of how to react.From NôvelDrama.Org.
His unwillingness to let Sophia be friends with them was entirely due to another layer of concern, but these kids were so outspoken…
“Sophia didn’t have many friends in kindergarten to begin with. It’s only my brother and me who don’t mind her and let her stay with us. Previously, when she was bullied at kindergarten, it was my brother and I who helped her. If she can’t be friends with us, do you want her to be all alone in kindergarten?” Ethan also questioned angrily.
Two little ones, questioning him in succession, left Victor with a mix of complex emotions.
Without speaking for a long time, the two little ones thought they had guessed his thoughts and felt even more frustrated.
Sebastian, unable to contain his emotions, finally voiced his concerns, “We protect her and play with her. But why are you so guarded against us? What do you think of us?”
Upon hearing his brother’s words, Ethan vigorously nodded. The two little ones glared at the man in front of them, their hearts filled with sadness.
This man in front of them was their father.
However, this person had abandoned their mommy even before they were born.
Now, he seemed to harbor no fondness for them, let alone allowing his daughter to be friends with them…
