That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Meanwhile, at the Leer mansion.

After being ordered to leave by Victor in the afternoon, Emma returned and went straight to find Lily.

Seeing her, Lily thought there was finally news about Sophia and hurriedly asked, “Why are you back? Have they found Sophia?”

Emma shook her head despondently.

Seeing this, Lily’s face was full of reproach. “Sophia hasn’t been found yet, so why did you come back? Shouldn’t you be helping to look for her?”

No matter how much she favored Emma, this time, Emma had gone too far.

Hearing this, Emma’s face was full of guilt. “Madam, I also want to help find her, but…”

“But what!” Lily asked angrily.

Emma looked up, tears in her eyes, pitifully gazing at Lily. “But Victor blamed me for not keeping an eye on Sophia and told me to come back. I saw how anxious he was and didn’t dare to stay and cause him more worry.”

Lily had only heard over the phone that Emma hadn’t taken good care of Sophia, which led to Sophia running away. But she didn’t know the full story.

Now hearing that her son was angry with Emma because of this, she felt puzzled. “What exactly happened? How did Sophia go missing?”

Emma lowered her eyes, her voice choked with sobs as she explained intermittently, “When I arrived, I found that there weren’t enough hotel rooms. Victor and Olivia were sharing a room, so I wanted to get him another one.”

At this point, Emma glanced at Lily’s reaction and continued in a low voice, “I said I would go down and check if there were any vacant rooms. Just as I got into the elevator, Sophia suddenly followed me in. I didn’t know what she was up to. When the elevator doors opened, Sophia ran out, and I didn’t react in time…”

Hearing this, Lily’s face turned grim. She could roughly guess that her granddaughter didn’t want to leave Olivia.

What kind of spell had Olivia cast on Sophia? Even though they were mother and daughter, Olivia had never cared for Sophia after giving birth to her. Why was Sophia so dependent on her?

Moreover… thinking about Emma’s words, Lily frowned. “Victor and Olivia were sharing a room?”

Emma nodded aggrievedly. “There weren’t enough rooms at the hotel. I didn’t think it was appropriate but didn’t say anything. I just thought it might not look good and wanted to get them another room. I didn’t expect Sophia to get so angry. It was my oversight; it’s all my fault.”

Lily’s face darkened as she let Emma into the living room and said gently, “It’s not your fault. You did the right thing. You and Victor are about to get engaged; he shouldn’t be sharing a room with Olivia!”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“But if it weren’t for this, Sophia wouldn’t have run away…” Emma cried pitifully. “It’s so late now, and there’s still no news. I’m really afraid something has happened to Sophia. She’s so young… If anything happens to her, I don’t know how I’ll ever forgive myself!”

Mentioning her granddaughter made Lily equally heavy-hearted. However, unlike earlier, she no longer blamed Emma but instead comforted her, “Don’t worry. Victor is still looking for her. Nothing will happen to Sophia.”

Emma sobbed, “I didn’t keep an eye on Sophia and let her run off. I’m afraid Victor won’t forgive me. He was so angry just now; I thought…”

She thought Victor would hit her like last time.

But Victor didn’t.

Emma naturally didn’t think he was less angry than last time; she just felt that Victor no longer wanted to care about her.

Lily frowned. “No, it’s not your fault this time either. He’ll understand once he calms down.”
