That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Miss Lee asked Ethan a few more questions out of concern and then glanced at the time, looking a bit troubled.

She had promised to get leave for Sophia, but she herself didn’t have any time off, and staying outside for too long wasn’t ideal.

“Sophia, after we check on the little boy, let’s go back,” Miss Lee sought the child’s opinion.

However, Sophia looked longingly at Olivia and the other two, pursing her lips and shaking her head.

Seeing the child’s expression, Miss Lee realized it wouldn’t be easy to take her back today. Unsure of what to do, she looked to Olivia for help.

Olivia smiled at Miss Lee, “Let Sophia stay. I’ll take her home directly later. You should go ahead and take care of your work.”

Hearing this, Miss Lee breathed a sigh of relief, got up, and said her goodbyes.

Olivia watched Miss Lee leave with the children before returning to the living room.

Sophia clung tightly to Olivia’s hand the entire time, her palm sweaty but unwilling to let go.

Olivia felt a pang of sympathy but knew she had to steel herself. She had asked Miss Lee to leave Sophia behind partly because she knew Sophia wouldn’t leave easily and partly because she had something to discuss with her.

Olivia crouched down to look into Sophia’s eyes, just about to speak when suddenly, Sophia’s stomach growled loudly.

“Mommy, Sophia is hungry,” Ethan innocently reminded his mother.

Olivia frowned slightly, looking at the innocent and pitiful face in front of her. She couldn’t bring herself to say what she had planned and instead said, “It’s just about lunchtime. Sophia, why don’t you join us?”

Sophia nodded obediently.

On the way to the dining room, Sophia continued to hold Olivia’s hand tightly, her big eyes watching Ethan with concern.

Ethan knew Sophia was worried about him but noticed that she hadn’t spoken since they entered. Wanting to encourage her to talk, he pretended not to understand and quietly sat down at the table.

Seeing that the little boy had met her gaze but still wasn’t talking to her, Sophia grew anxious.

Across from her, Ethan deliberately made himself look uncomfortable, occasionally sneaking glances at Sophia.

Sophia became very worried and stammered, “Ethan!”

Only then did Ethan meet her gaze, “What’s wrong?”

Sophia frowned and pointed at his stomach, “Not well.”

Hearing Sophia speak, Ethan smiled and reassured her, “I’m fine now! Didn’t Mommy just say? We’ll be going to kindergarten in a couple of days!”

Sophia finally relaxed and nodded obediently, a smile spreading across her face.

Ethan couldn’t help but ask, “Did you cry earlier? Was it because you were worried about me?”

Hearing this, Olivia and Sebastian instinctively looked over as well.

From the moment Sophia had entered, they had noticed the tear stains on her face and her red eyes but hadn’t asked about it.

Olivia had intended to explain things clearly to Sophia and distance herself completely. She wanted to be firm with her.

But she hadn’t expected such a tender moment between them.

Hearing Ethan’s question, Olivia couldn’t help but feel concerned.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Sophia’s smile grew even sweeter. She thought Olivia and the boys were all concerned about her, feeling as if she was back in the days when she lived with Olivia. She nodded in acknowledgment that she had cried because she was worried about the little boy.

Seeing Sophia nod, Olivia felt a heavy weight on her heart.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
