That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 264: Thought We Were a Family



Victor furrowed his brows, feeling that the tool in his hand was awkward to use.

Just as he was starting to get impatient, he sensed a gentle gaze falling upon him.

He looked up and met Olivia’s smiling eyes.

Their eyes locked for a moment before Olivia quickly averted her gaze, her expression returning to its usual calmness.

Seeing this, Victor furrowed his brows again, but his impatience dissipated. He turned to the staff member and said, “I’m not quite used to this. Could you please demonstrate how to use it?”

The staff member had been watching for a while. Seeing Victor, tall and imposing, using the shovel with a straight back, he wanted to correct him but hesitated due to Victor’s noble demeanor and somewhat intimidating presence. When Victor finally asked for help, the staff member quickly came over to demonstrate.

Victor observed the staff member’s posture and compared it to his own earlier stance, finding it somewhat amusing.

With the proper technique, the process of filling the soil became much faster.

The five of them worked together to plant a tree, and their coordination improved significantly with the next one.

The three children gradually opened up, occasionally chatting with Olivia, who responded with gentle smiles.

Meanwhile, Victor continued working while watching them with deep eyes.

Seeing their harmonious interaction, the staff member couldn’t help but ask, “Excuse me for asking, but are you a family?”

Both Olivia and Victor were taken aback by the question.

Olivia was about to explain when Victor spoke first, “Why do you ask?”

Olivia frowned slightly, feeling a bit displeased. His response neither confirmed nor denied the staff member’s assumption, potentially leading to misunderstandings about their relationship.

The staff member didn’t overthink it and simply said, “You all look very much like a family. Also, the three children resemble you two quite a bit.”

Hearing this, Olivia’s displeasure turned into caution. Despite her desire to keep it hidden, Sebastian and Ethan did bear some resemblance to Victor. Although it wasn’t very noticeable due to their young age, she feared that Victor might notice and discover the children’s true parentage.

Victor raised an eyebrow and glanced at the three children. He noticed some similarities in their features but didn’t think much of it. After all, they were all Olivia’s children; it made sense for them to resemble their mother.

Seeing that Victor didn’t deny it, the staff member remarked, “You have such a close-knit family.”

Victor remained silent and did not refute.

Olivia snapped out of her worry and calmly explained to the staff member, “You misunderstood. We are not a family. The children just get along well, so we formed a temporary group.”

The staff member seemed surprised by her denial and apologized awkwardly after a few seconds, “Is that so? My apologies. You all seemed so close, and the children are so affectionate with this lady that I thought you were a family…”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Olivia forced a smile. “It’s alright. As long as it’s clear now.”

The staff member quickly nodded.

Beside them, Victor looked at the top of Olivia’s head with deep eyes.
