That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

The day after returning from Norville, Olivia threw herself back into her work at the research institute.

She had been in Norville for two days, leaving all the work to Gabriel, which had exhausted him.

Gabriel joked, “Dr. Prescott, you left me to handle everything for two days. Don’t you think you owe me a proper thank you?”

Hearing this, Olivia smiled lightly, “Of course. I happen to be free tonight. How about we have dinner together?”

Gabriel had suggested having dinner with Olivia several times before, but she had always declined. He knew she only saw him as a regular colleague, so he didn’t push the matter.

Now that Olivia had brought it up herself, he understood she was just expressing her gratitude for the past two days. He readily agreed, “Then I humbly accept your invitation.”

They each drove their own cars. After getting into her car, Olivia sent a message to Emily, asking her to pick up the two kids that evening. She then drove ahead to lead the way for Gabriel.

Not knowing where to go, she decided to head to the restaurant where she had previously dined with Harold.

At the restaurant entrance, Olivia parked her car and waited for Gabriel. They entered the restaurant one after the other.

Since they hadn’t made a reservation, they had to wait a while for a table.

“I heard that at the conference, Mr. Lee wanted to take you on as a student, but you turned him down,” Gabriel said, making small talk while they waited.

Olivia smiled, “I already have a mentor, and my research direction is different from Mr. Lee’s. It would have been a bit forced.”

As they were chatting about the conference, Olivia’s phone buzzed. She took it out and saw a message from the kindergarten parents’ group.

Ever since her two kids started school, Miss Lee had added her to the group.

However, there were rarely any messages in the group. Today seemed to be an exception.

Opening the message, she saw it was from Miss Lee: “Dear parents, the school will soon be hosting a tree-planting charity event. The children will get to experience planting saplings and will need to stay overnight. Please be aware of this and contact me privately if you have any special circumstances.”

Several parents had replied below, mostly asking about the location and timing of the outing and what they needed to bring.

Miss Lee responded to each query.

The outing was scheduled for this weekend. The school would arrange accommodation, and each child would be accompanied by one parent. They only needed to bring some daily necessities and a change of clothes.

One parent accompanying each child…

Olivia thought of Sophia. It would either be Victor or Emma accompanying her.

These were two people she did not want to see.

But if she participated in this event, she would inevitably run into them.

The parents at this kindergarten were all wealthy and influential. They were familiar with those two individuals and might even have attended Liam’s birthday party.

If she had any interaction with them at all, who knew what rumors might spread?

Thinking about this gave Olivia a headache.

Gabriel, sitting across from her, had asked a question related to the conference but hadn’t received an answer for a while. He looked over with concern and saw that she seemed distracted by something on her phone.

“What’s wrong?” Gabriel paused his conversation to ask.

Olivia slowly came back to her senses, suppressing her worries with some effort. She smiled and shook her head, “It’s nothing, just an event at the kids’ kindergarten.”

Seeing that she didn’t want to elaborate, Gabriel didn’t press further.
