Chapter 348: Are You Going Abroad Because of Daddy?
Sophia couldn’t hear anything else after that. She only knew that Olivia was going abroad and that she might never see Olivia again. The thought of this brought tears to Sophia’s eyes.
The smile on Olivia’s face was tinged with bitterness as she patted Sophia’s head and said, “This might be the last time we see each other, Sophia. Don’t cry, smile more, okay?”
Sophia shook her head while crying, “Olivia, don’t go…”
Olivia waited for Sophia to cry for a while. When she heard Sophia’s sobs becoming weaker, she gently comforted her, “Sophia, get better soon. When you grow up, you can come visit me abroad.”
Sophia seemed to understand that she couldn’t make Olivia stay. Hearing that she could see Olivia again when she grew up, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart. She pitifully asked for confirmation, “Really?”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Olivia nodded with a smile.
Sophia still felt doubtful, “But when I grow up, I might not remember you.”
Olivia shook her head seriously, “How could I forget Sophia? You’re so adorable.”
The other two children chimed in, “We will remember you too, Sophia. Get better soon!”
With their assurances, Sophia was silent for a moment. She sniffled and nodded, wiping her own tears, “I won’t cry anymore.”
If this was truly the last time they would be together, she wanted to leave a good impression on Olivia and not let her remember only her tears.
Thinking this, Sophia’s eyes reddened as she tried hard to lift the corners of her mouth into a very forced smile.
Olivia sighed in relief, feeling a pang of sorrow for Sophia. She acted nonchalant and said, “Let’s go. I’ll play Lego with you for a while and then take you back.”
The three children obediently nodded.
Perhaps because they knew they would part ways soon, Sebastian and Ethan were very considerate of Sophia. They built their Lego pieces very slowly, focusing on what Sophia needed. Whenever she needed something, they immediately put down their own pieces to help her find it, almost wanting to build it hand-in-hand with her.
Sophia seemed a bit distracted, occasionally glancing at the time.
By four in the afternoon, Olivia looked at the children with reluctance but finally spoke up firmly, “It’s about time. I’ll take Sophia back now.”
Upon hearing this, the children put down their Lego pieces.
Sophia still tried to smile at Olivia, but her heart was full of sadness, making her smile very forced.
Olivia sighed silently and inwardly blamed herself for being heartless.
Sophia was so young, she should have treated her well. But unfortunately, Sophia was Victor’s daughter…
Sebastian and Ethan reluctantly got up and hugged Sophia. “We can still see each other at kindergarten. Wait for us, okay?”
Sophia’s eyes brightened again as she nodded vigorously at the boys.
Olivia stood up and took Sophia’s hand, leading her out the door.
On the way to Leer Manor, Olivia felt complicated emotions and remained silent almost the entire journey.
Sophia sat quietly in the back seat.
It wasn’t until they stopped outside Leer Manor that Sophia’s cautious voice broke the silence.
“Olivia, are you going abroad because of Daddy?”
Olivia was momentarily stunned. After a few seconds, she smiled calmly at Sophia and said, “No. I came back this time because of work. Once my work is done, I have to leave.”
