That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

In the past, their meals were always shared by Mommy and occasionally a godmother.

Eating with Daddy was a novel experience for them, and it stirred up mixed emotions in Sebastian and Ethan.

Victor stopped in his tracks, turned around, and met Sophia’s watery eyes. He also noticed the bowls and chopsticks already set beside the four seats, and a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes.

Technically, the four of them were indeed a family.

As he approached and took his seat, he felt somewhat out of place.

That’s what he thought, but he had already sat down at the dining table.

Perhaps due to his joining, the previously cheerful atmosphere became somewhat stagnant.

Sebastian and Ethan fell silent, focusing on eating their food with their heads down.

Without the two boys talking to her, Sophia lost her appetite and only took small bites from her bowl.

Olivia noticed the change in the little girl and gently asked, “Is there something you don’t like to eat, Sophia?”

Upon hearing this, Sophia quickly shook her head.

She liked the food prepared by the beautiful lady.

It’s just that her mood wasn’t quite right at the moment.

Knowing that Sophia couldn’t speak, Ethan paused and answered on her behalf, “Sophia is like us. She doesn’t like carrots and green peppers. When she was in kindergarten, she often picked them out!”

Olivia smiled warmly and reassured, “I’ll remove them for you, alright?”

A smile returned to Sophia’s face as she obediently nodded.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Seeing this, Olivia got up and walked to Sophia’s side, picking out the carrots and green peppers from her bowl and then watching the little girl pick up her spoon to continue eating.

However, Sophia accidentally brushed a sore spot on her hand, prompting tears to well up in her eyes from the pain, and her hand froze in place. She looked up at Olivia with a pleading expression, seeking help.

Concerned, Olivia quickly put down her chopsticks and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Sophia bit her lip and made an effort to hold back her tears. She showed Olivia the back of her hand for examination.

Seeing the back of the little girl’s hand, everyone was shocked.

Sophia’s skin was fair and tender, and under the light, the red marks on her hand looked somewhat frightening.

Olivia furrowed her brows and asked with concern, “How did this happen?”

Sophia bit her lip and remained silent.

Olivia then looked at Victor beside her, questioning him with her eyes. Victor inexplicably felt a guilty pang but maintained a calm expression, saying, “Did she hurt herself while breaking something?”

Worry filled Olivia’s eyes even more as she asked, “Breaking something? What did she break?”

Victor’s voice was deep as he replied, “Sophia doesn’t know how to vent her emotions properly. When she gets very angry, she occasionally breaks things to relieve herself.”

He didn’t know how to tell Olivia the words “autism spectrum disorder.”

He also didn’t know how she would react once she knew.

A flicker of surprise crossed Olivia’s eyes, and then she turned to Sophia to confirm, “Did you hurt yourself?”

Sophia hesitated for a few seconds before nodding slightly.

Noticing her admission, Victor furrowed his brow and questioned, “Why didn’t you tell Daddy?”

Sophia recoiled and sought comfort by leaning towards Olivia with a pitiful expression.

Observing Sophia’s vulnerable state, Olivia glared disapprovingly at Victor. How could he speak in such a harsh tone when the little girl was hurt?

“It hurts a lot, doesn’t it?” Olivia withdrew her gaze from Victor and gently held Sophia’s hand, lightly rubbing it.

Sophia pursed her lips and nodded.

“Be good, I’ll apply some medicine to make it better. The pain will go away soon.” Olivia released her hand and instructed her two boys, “Keep Sophia company and entertain her. I’ll go get the first aid kit.”

The two little boys nodded eagerly, sharing amusing stories and doing their best to lift Sophia’s spirits.
