That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 243 Pretend to be asleep



Feeling irritated, Olivia furrowed her brows and reached up to pull the blanket higher to cover her entire face, hoping to lessen the pressure from Victor’s stare.

However, with her eyes closed, she accidentally knocked the blanket onto the floor instead of grabbing it.

Feeling the sudden lightness on her body, Olivia stiffened and hesitated whether to open her eyes and pick up the blanket.

But then she considered her situation.

If Victor realized she was pretending to sleep, it would be even more awkward.

Without the blanket’s cover, Victor’s gaze felt even more intense…

Just as she was caught in this dilemma, there was movement beside her.

Olivia’s body instantly tensed up, unsure of what Victor was doing.

Moments later, a familiar scent reached her nose.

It took all of Olivia’s effort not to let her eyelids twitch.

The fallen blanket was gently placed back over her by someone.

Victor’s movements were very gentle, as if afraid of waking her up.

After covering her with the blanket, he even tucked it in around her.

Olivia thought that would be the end of it but was surprised when Victor didn’t leave immediately.

Even with her eyes closed, she could feel Victor’s ambiguous gaze lingering on her face as if he was studying something.

Just as Olivia was about to open her eyes out of impatience, Victor’s gaze finally shifted away.

The pressure around her suddenly disappeared, and Olivia let out a sigh of relief, followed by a sense of melancholy.

She inexplicably recalled the day she had a high fever.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Victor must have taken care of her similarly while she slept back then too.

These things were unimaginable six years ago.

Yet now they happened so easily in her life.

The once indifferent Victor who wouldn’t spare her a glance was now so considerate and attentive towards her.

If this had happened six years ago, she would have been overjoyed even in her dreams.

But now, after everything that had happened, she felt no joy, only trouble.

Some things come too late; so late that she no longer needed them.

Thinking of this, Olivia bitterly curled her lips into a smile.

Beside her, Victor stared at Olivia for a long time, feeling equally conflicted inside.

Six years ago, Olivia left without a word, making it hard for him to find her.

After finally finding her again, the way she looked at him was completely different from six years ago.

Victor couldn’t even discern his own feelings when he first saw her again, there was joy and anger but most strongly regret for not stopping her back then.

Now no matter what he did, Olivia avoided him at all costs!

Just like now, they were seated next to each other yet Olivia preferred pretending to sleep rather than looking at him even once more.

Victor frowned and glanced complexly at Olivia beside him.

Olivia probably didn’t know what she looked like when asleep nor how different she looked now compared to when truly asleep.

Even when he covered her with the blanket earlier, Olivia’s body visibly tensed for a moment, none of this escaped his notice.

But since she wanted it this way, Victor wouldn’t expose her pretense either.

Sensing Victor’s gaze on herself again, Olivia furrowed slightly before groping for edge of blanket pulling over head to completely isolate herself from Victor’s sight.
