That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

When the topic of Victor and Emma’s marriage came up, Olivia lowered her eyes slightly. The explanation that was on the tip of her tongue was swallowed back down, and she responded lightly, “Thank you for the reminder, I’ll keep that in mind.”

The woman thought she had hit the mark. In the future, when she mentioned this to Emma, she could consider herself to have ingratiated herself with the future Mrs. Leer.

Thinking of this, the woman looked down at Olivia condescendingly. “It’s good that you know. How could someone of your status ever be worthy of Mr. Leer?”

Their conversation had gone on for a while. Sophia had been waiting for Olivia for some time and hadn’t seen her come looking for her. Peeking out from behind a tree, she saw a woman standing aggressively in front of Olivia and assumed she was bullying her. Sophia quickly ran over on her little legs.

“Don’t bully Olivia!” Sophia clung to Olivia’s leg, glaring fiercely at the woman like a little kitten ready to fight.

The woman was momentarily stunned by Sophia’s sudden appearance. She quickly put on a smile, squatted down, and reached out to touch Sophia’s head. “Isn’t this Sophia? You are so cute.”

Because of her autism, Sophia was very wary of strangers. Seeing this unfamiliar woman trying to touch her, she swatted her hand away and looked at her warily.

Rejected by Sophia and seeing how close Sophia was to Olivia, the woman’s smile froze. Still unwilling to give up, she tried to ingratiate herself with Sophia again. “Don’t be afraid, I mean no harm. I just think you’re adorable.”

As she spoke, she reached out towards Sophia again.

Sophia’s eyes showed a hint of panic. She clung tightly to Olivia’s leg and hid behind her.

Seeing this, Olivia frowned slightly and stepped between Sophia and the woman. “Sophia is afraid of strangers. If you really like her, you should keep your distance.”

The woman, repeatedly rejected by Sophia and hearing Olivia’s words, stood up with an ugly expression. “I have some acquaintance with Miss Thornton. In the future, Sophia will be Miss Thornton’s daughter. What does it have to do with you if I get close to Sophia?”

Olivia’s expression changed when she heard Emma’s name brought up again.

The woman was telling the truth; Olivia indeed had no right to interfere with whom Sophia got close to.

However, it seemed that Sophia was frightened by this woman and was still trembling while clinging to Olivia’s leg.

“Since your daughter is in the same class as Sophia, you should know something about her situation. She doesn’t like interacting with strangers. I’ve noted your reminder. If there’s nothing else, please leave quickly; Sophia is a bit scared.” Olivia squatted down and hugged Sophia tenderly.

Sophia was both angry and scared, tears welling up in her eyes as she glared at the woman in front of her with a scrunched-up face.

The woman naturally wouldn’t listen to Olivia. With a cold face, she was about to say something more when she heard footsteps behind her.

Immediately following that was Victor’s low, cold voice, “What happened to Sophia?”

Seeing her daddy, Sophia ran past the woman and threw herself into his arms, tearfully complaining, “I don’t like her.”

Victor frowned slightly.

He had intended to come over with them but had been delayed by other parents who stopped him for small talk.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw this scene before him.

The “her” that Sophia referred to was clearly the woman standing in front of Olivia.
