That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

After dinner, Olivia initially intended to head straight back, but upon leaving the restaurant, the three children were captivated by the scenery outside and couldn’t move.

Olivia looked up.

Being on a mountain, the botanical garden’s setup was much simpler than those in the city, with fewer lighting installations.

Only a full moon hung in the sky, its light filtering through the trees and casting a gentle glow on them. The various plants in the garden also appeared particularly beautiful.

Many parents were strolling through the garden with their children.

“Mommy, let’s take a walk too!” Ethan tugged at Olivia’s hand.

It was rare for Olivia to have such a leisurely moment, and with such a beautiful scene, she also felt like taking a stroll. She turned to Victor and said, “I’ll take the children for a walk. Mr. Leer, please take Sophia back first.”

With that, she released Sophia’s hand, letting her go to Victor.

However, Sophia clung to Olivia’s hand and wouldn’t let go.

Helpless, Olivia had to take all the children with her.

They wandered to a sparsely populated area. Ethan looked at the tall trees around them and eagerly suggested, “Mommy, let’s play hide-and-seek!”

Olivia smiled and agreed, “Alright, but don’t run too far; it’s not safe.”

The children obediently agreed.

Olivia intended to take Sophia along to find them, but unexpectedly, Sophia was also eager to play.

Sophia had never played hide-and-seek with anyone before, so she was very excited when the boys mentioned it.

Olivia instructed the two boys to take care of Sophia and then closed her eyes to let them hide.

“Are you hidden? I’m going to start looking!” After counting down, Olivia called out.

No sooner had she spoken than Sophia’s little voice came from behind a tree, “Ready!”

Hearing this, Olivia couldn’t help but laugh.

Though she knew from Sophia’s voice where the children were hiding, she pretended not to know and acted as if she were searching everywhere.

“Is this… Miss Prescott?” A female voice sounded in Olivia’s ear.

Olivia looked up to see a tall woman dressed in luxurious clothes standing before her, holding a little girl’s hand and looking at her with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

Sensing hostility from this person, Olivia became wary and calmly looked at her. “That’s me. And you are?”

The woman gave her a disdainful glance. “Who I am doesn’t matter. I just wanted to remind you of something. I hope you take it to heart.”

Hearing this, Olivia frowned slightly.

“Sophia is Mr. Leer’s precious gem. Because she’s close with your two children, she’s also fond of you. Therefore, Mr. Leer holds you in higher regard. This is your honor.”

At this point, the woman’s tone turned colder. “However, Miss Prescott, you’d better know your place. Don’t think that just because Mr. Leer is close to you, you have an opportunity. You should know that Mr. Leer is only doing this for the children; it has nothing to do with you personally. Don’t think you can easily climb up the social ladder.”

Hearing the woman’s words, Olivia couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She knew that encountering Victor here would inevitably lead to gossip but didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

“I think you might have misunderstood something…” Olivia began calmly.

The woman interrupted her disdainfully, “Misunderstood? Everyone saw how close you were with Mr. Leer today. Miss Prescott, you’d better recognize your position. You should know that Mr. Leer’s fiancee is Miss Thornton, and their relationship is very strong. Miss Prescott, don’t humiliate yourself!”
