That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 208: Not in a Good Mood



She left the cafe much earlier than she had anticipated.

Once in the car, Olivia gripped the steering wheel but didn’t start the engine for a long time. Her mind was in complete disarray.

After spending six years abroad, she thought she had moved past what had happened back then.

But unexpectedly, hearing Emma mention it still stirred her emotions.

Indeed, when she married Victor six years ago, she had no idea Emma existed. If she had known…

Thinking about how deeply she had loved Victor back then, Olivia gave a self-mocking smile, realizing she might have still stubbornly married him.

However, the joy she felt when marrying Victor was matched by the disgrace she felt when leaving him.

Who would have thought that after being married for so long, their only intimate moment as a couple had to be drug-induced?

Moreover, the next morning, she had to leave in utter humiliation.

Looking back now, Olivia found her past self both pitiful and laughable.

What amused her even more was that after six years, she could still be a thorn between Victor and Emma.

She still remembered how Victor had vowed to marry Emma back then.

But for some reason, six years had passed, and their marriage was still just an engagement.

Victor’s attitude towards her had also drastically changed from six years ago, making it even harder for her to understand his thoughts.

After spacing out in the car for a while and seeing that it was about time, Olivia slowly came back to her senses and started the car to head back to the research institute.

She arrived just in time for work.

As soon as Olivia got out of the car, she ran into Gabriel, who was also returning from lunch outside.

“Dr. Prescott, did you have an appointment for lunch?” Gabriel smiled as he walked alongside her towards the lab area.

Thinking about her unpleasant lunchtime experience, Olivia nodded reluctantly.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gabriel observed her for a few seconds before hesitantly speaking, “It seems like you’re not in a good mood. Did your lunch appointment not go well?”

Olivia was taken aback; she hadn’t realized her feelings were so obvious.

Seeing her slightly surprised expression, Gabriel knew he had guessed correctly. He smiled and changed the subject considerately, “Since you’re not feeling well, why don’t you head home early? I’ll take care of the project. You should relax a bit.”

Olivia politely declined, “It’s just a small matter; it won’t affect my work.”

Hearing this, Gabriel gave her a meaningful look and spoke slowly, “Dr. Prescott, don’t you trust me? Everyone has seen how hard you’ve been working on this project. Many employees have been forced to work overtime because of it and are starting to complain. Why not give everyone a break today? It will help improve morale and lead to better work later on.”

Olivia found it hard to argue with that.

Indeed, she was used to high-intensity research abroad and had assumed everyone here could keep up with her pace after returning home.

She had overlooked that this was the first time these employees were working with her.

The research progress had indeed been slow lately.

Thinking of this, Olivia gratefully nodded at Gabriel, “Thank you for the reminder. In that case, let’s call it an early day.”

That afternoon, the staff at the research institute left work on time for a change.

Olivia went straight to the kindergarten to pick up her two little ones.

Because of her conversation with Emma at lunch, Olivia didn’t know how to face Sophia. So when she picked up Sebastian and Ethan, she barely glanced at Sophia before leaving immediately.
