Chapter 40: Never Considered Acknowledging Her
Victor’s expression darkened as he sternly said, “What do you have to say to her? In the future, it’s best to pretend you don’t know her and have no contact with her.”
Since that woman herself had no intention of recognizing her daughter, he would simply grant her wish!
Sophia was frightened by her father’s tone and hesitated for a few seconds before reluctantly pouting and writing in her notebook, “Why?”
Without waiting for Victor’s answer, she quickly added, “I really like her. She is kind and gentle to me. I want to be with her!”
The straightforward affection of the little girl made Victor feel heartbroken, but he had to face reality and replied expressionlessly, “Because she already has her own children and doesn’t need another one.”
Upon hearing this, Sophia’s eyes filled with confusion.
She knew those two little boys, but the beautiful lady was still kind to her.
However, it seemed that her father really disliked her.
Sophia couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Seeing that the little girl had become quiet, Victor instructed his assistant to start the car and they left the Whitaker estate.
On the way, Sophia tugged at Victor’s coat.
He frowned and looked over.
“Where did my mommy go?”
Sophia looked at him with a hint of grievance, her big eyes filled with confusion.
That beautiful lady was the mommy of the two little boys, so she couldn’t get close to that beautiful lady.
But what about her own mommy?
These words stabbed Victor’s eyes fiercely, and he almost awkwardly averted his gaze, not knowing how to answer.
Sophia was asking him where her mommy was.
He did know the answer.
But how could he tell her this cruel truth?
That woman had already formed a new family and had no intention of acknowledging her own daughter, even when she was right in front of her…
The more he thought about it, the more unpleasant Victor’s expression became, and he remained silent for a long time.
He had been silent the whole time, while Sophia kept looking at him with expectant eyes.
After a while, Victor gritted his teeth and said irritably, “I don’t know. I don’t know where she is, and you shouldn’t ask this question again! You have me as your father, and that’s enough. You don’t need a mommy!”
With his words falling, Sophia stared at her father blankly for a few seconds before slowly closing her notebook and lowering her head without saying a word.
They remained silent until they returned home.

The Whitaker villa.
After Victor left, Olivia’s mood was clearly off.
Isaac noticed it but didn’t confront her. He took her downstairs, made tea, and found various topics to chat about.
The atmosphere between the two seemed fine.
After being driven out, Abigail returned to her own room and now came out to see how things were.
Seeing her brother sitting with Olivia on the sofa, Abigail let out a subtle cold snort.
From the very beginning, she never believed that this woman had any abilities.
And it seemed to be the same now.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Olivia noticed Abigail’s disdainful attitude but wasn’t in the mood to argue with her and treated her as if she didn’t exist.
As an hour passed, Olivia interrupted the conversation, “It’s time. I can proceed with the acupuncture now.”
With that, she got up and walked upstairs.
Isaac quickly followed.
On the side, Abigail also stood up suspiciously and followed them.
She didn’t trust Olivia, but she cared about her grandfather’s condition.
Moreover, she wanted to see if Olivia was truly as capable as she claimed to be!
