That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

“Mr. Leer, is there something you need?”

Olivia stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Victor with a distant gaze, as if he were a stranger.

Meeting her eyes, Victor’s brow furrowed slightly.

It was precisely because of Olivia’s attitude towards him that he couldn’t help but take such an unexpected action when she was about to leave.

He felt that if he didn’t do this, Olivia would truly disappear from his sight.

Without waiting for an answer, Olivia frowned and tried to pull her wrist back. “If there’s nothing else, please let go. I need to get to work.”

Both of them were exceptionally attractive, and given that the parents at this kindergarten were not ordinary people, most of them knew Victor.

By now, quite a few people were looking their way.

Olivia was afraid that if they continued to entangle for even another second, rumors about them would start spreading.

And who knows how much trouble that would bring.

Sensing her struggle, Victor snapped back to reality and released her wrist, his eyes filled with complex emotions. “Yesterday, I talked with Sophia and realized that her rapid recovery during this period is largely due to your efforts. I should express my gratitude both emotionally and logically.”

This was both an excuse to keep Olivia around and a fact he had come to realize yesterday.

He had initially thought that Sophia would just be in a better mood around Olivia, but he hadn’t expected Olivia to bring him such a pleasant surprise during this time.

Getting Sophia to speak again must have taken a lot of effort from Olivia.

Hearing this, Olivia responded calmly, “No need. You’ve helped me a lot during this time as well. I said we’re even now; there’s no need for extra gestures.”

With that, Olivia nodded slightly at Victor and prepared to walk past him to get into her car and leave.

“Or, Miss Prescott, you could consider my gesture as a goodwill offering,” Victor said in a deep voice.

Olivia paused slightly, unsure of what he meant by that.

Victor looked at Olivia, who had walked up beside him, and gave a distant smile. “If I remember correctly, you once said that no matter what happens between us, the children are innocent. Does that only apply to Sebastian and Ethan?”

Hearing this, Olivia turned back to meet his gaze. “What do you mean?”

Victor raised an eyebrow. “You know Sophia likes you and gets upset when she can’t see you, which can even worsen her condition. Yet you keep avoiding her. Isn’t Sophia innocent too? You can avoid me, but there’s no need to avoid Sophia.”

Olivia was taken aback.

She had indeed considered whether Sophia would feel sad because of her absence but thought she wasn’t that important and that Victor would naturally take good care of Sophia.

Moreover, since Victor picked up and dropped off Sophia every day, if she didn’t avoid him, she would inevitably run into him…

“Sophia has been in a bad mood because she hasn’t seen you recently. As her father, my relationship with you is just average. I’m forced to take this step: inviting you to dinner. It’s both to thank you for taking care of Sophia recently and to ask you to spend more time with her.”

Victor’s tone was distant yet polite, but his words carried an undeniable pressure.

Olivia already felt guilty towards Sophia, but hearing Victor’s latter words made her frown again. “Mr. Leer, you might be too used to business dealings. Not everything can be resolved over a meal. If there’s nothing else, I need to get to work.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
