That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 249: Matters Between Adults



After dinner, Olivia and Gabriel parted ways and went home separately.

When Olivia returned, the two children had already been brought back by Emily and were sitting on the carpet playing with Lego.

Seeing her enter, the two children happily ran up to her.

Olivia patted their heads and asked with concern, “Have you had dinner?”

The children nodded obediently, looking at their mommy with eager eyes. “Mommy, Miss Lee said she would take us out to plant trees this weekend.”

Hearing this, Olivia was slightly taken aback. She looked down and smiled at the children. “Hmm, Mommy knows.”

With that, she nonchalantly walked into the living room.

The two children followed closely behind her, all the way to the carpet.

Olivia squatted down and fiddled with the half-finished Lego pieces, looking a bit troubled.

On her way back, she had thought about it a lot. The conclusion was always the same: if she attended, she would inevitably run into Victor or Emma.

What a coincidence.

Recently, she had been trying every possible way to avoid these two people, and now the kindergarten was holding an event.

“Mommy, will you go with us?” The two children looked at Olivia expectantly.

It was their first time participating in such a group activity, and it sounded very interesting!

Seeing the children’s bright eyes, Olivia hesitated for a moment but couldn’t bring herself to refuse. She only said, “How about having your godmother go with you?”

This was the only solution she could think of.

Hearing this, the two children were visibly disappointed. “Mommy doesn’t want to go with us?”

Olivia’s heart softened. “It’s not that… Mommy has to work overtime this weekend and might not have time to go with you.”

The children stared at her for a while, not knowing if they saw through her lie.

Facing their gaze, Olivia felt guilty and ashamed.

This was the first group activity since the children started school that required parental accompaniment. It was very meaningful.

The children surely wanted her to go with them.

But… she couldn’t tell them she was avoiding Victor and Emma.

This was a matter between adults.

“Alright.” After a while, the two children nodded reluctantly.

Olivia breathed a sigh of relief and took out her phone to call Isabelle.

It took a while for Isabelle to pick up.

“Olivia, what’s up? Is there something you need?” Isabelle’s voice sounded tired.

Olivia frowned slightly and asked with concern, “Are you still busy?”

Isabelle sighed deeply and said weakly, “Don’t mention it. I have a critical patient here who needs 24-hour monitoring. I probably won’t have any free time this week.”

Hearing this, Olivia swallowed back her request for help. “Then I won’t bother you. The patient is important. There’s nothing urgent on my end; the kids just miss you.”

Isabelle chuckled. “Alright, tell them I’ll come to see them another day.”

They didn’t talk much longer and soon hung up.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Olivia looked up at the two children beside her and sighed softly. “Godmother is busy. I’ll go with you this weekend.”

She couldn’t let those two people stop the children from participating in their class activities.

The two children exchanged glances, their faces full of joy. They hugged Olivia’s arm and said sweetly, “Mommy is the best!”

Olivia smiled without saying anything. Thinking about the inevitable meeting this weekend, she felt a bit heavy-hearted.
