That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Watching Sophia being taken away by the teacher, Victor withdrew his gaze and instructed Nathan, “Let’s go.”

Nathan nodded and drove to Leer’s Group.

Upon arriving at the company, Victor immediately attended a high-level meeting without taking a break.

The meeting lasted for over an hour.

Victor went straight back to his office afterwards.

“Victor, you’re back.”

Just as he entered the room, he was greeted by Emma’s voice.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Upon hearing this, Victor furrowed his brow slightly.

He saw Emma standing in front of his desk, wearing a black suit with a smile on her face. It seemed like she had been waiting inside for a while.

“When did you arrive?”

Victor walked briskly to his desk and glanced over the documents on it before finally fixing his gaze on Emma’s face.

Seeing him sit down, Emma also took a seat, wearing a gentle smile. “I just arrived not long ago. I heard from Nathan that you were in a meeting.”

After speaking, she suddenly noticed the scab at the corner of Victor’s mouth, and her heart tightened. “Your mouth… Is it injured?”

Recalling the events of the previous day, a touch of annoyance flashed in Victor’s eyes. His tone carried a chill as he responded, “Just an accidental bite. There’s no need to make a fuss.”

Emma nodded skeptically, comforting herself. Over the years, besides her, there hadn’t been any other women around Victor, so the injury shouldn’t be what she suspected.

With this in mind, she reluctantly let go of her worries.

“What’s the matter?” Victor asked coldly, his icy tone cutting through the air.

Upon hearing his words, Emma collected her thoughts and smiled, saying, “Indeed, there is some business. The project our two families have been collaborating on is just short of signing the contract. So, I came to confirm with you if there are any other conditions. Also, my parents said they would like to invite you for dinner tonight. Your parents will also be there. I don’t know if you have the time.”

They specifically invited his parents to this meal, such a grand arrangement could only mean they wanted to urge their marriage again.

Victor glanced at her, his brow slightly knitted, and his tone was icy. “Please tell your parents that I have a prior engagement tonight and cannot attend the banquet.”

A frozen smile appeared on Emma’s face, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

The purpose of tonight’s dinner was indeed to urge her and Victor’s marriage.

However, this matter should have been settled several years ago.

But after waiting so long for Olivia to leave, Victor, using work as an excuse, kept delaying.

Later on, he even used Sophia as an excuse, just dragging on and unwilling to marry her!

Now, it had been a whole six years!

She had waited for so many years, but still couldn’t wait for a result. How could she not be anxious?

Until today, Victor was still evading…

Emma lifted the corners of her lips bitterly, her gaze fixed on the man before her. “Victor, I have waited for six years. How many women can wait for so many years? Of course, I’m willing to continue waiting for you. But if it’s destined for us to be together, why are you unwilling to proceed with the marriage? At the very least, let the elders feel at ease, right?”

As she spoke, Emma cautiously observed Victor’s expression. Seeing that he remained unmoved, she plucked up the courage to add, “We had planned the marriage from the beginning. Why…”

“I did promise to give you an engagement.”

Victor coldly interrupted her questioning. “But where does this promise come from? You should know better than anyone.”

Seeing his expression, Emma inexplicably felt her heart tighten.

“I think, over these years, the Leer family has compensated the Thornton family in various ways far more than the value of this engagement. Even if the engagement is not fulfilled, no one will say anything.”

Victor’s tone remained unruffled, clearly indicating that he had planned this long ago.

Upon hearing these words, Emma widened her eyes in disbelief, her heart filled with panic.

Victor’s intention was obvious-he wanted to break the engagement between their families!
