That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

When Victor returned with Sophia, it was nearly ten o’clock.

As soon as they got out of the car, they saw the butler waiting at the door.

“Mr. Leer, Miss Thornton has arrived and is waiting inside,” the butler informed them..

Victor furrowed his brow slightly, nodded, and walked in with Sophia.

“You’re back!” Emma was sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing them enter, she immediately stood up and went forward to greet them. She crouched down, wanting to touch Sophia’s head, but Sophia evaded her.

Upon witnessing this, a fleeting flicker of displeasure crossed Emma’s eyes, swiftly veiled by a smile as she straightened herself.

“What brings you here?” Victor glanced at her with a cold tone.

Emma nonchalantly smiled and spoke, “Thanks to your assistance today, lending us someone, we were able to resolve a significant issue. My father insisted that I come and express our gratitude.”

Before she could continue speaking, Victor abruptly interrupted, “Is the matter resolved?”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Emma was silent for a few seconds before reluctantly nodding with a forced smile, “Yes, it was a bit troublesome, so I was busy until the afternoon. I hope it didn’t cause any inconvenience on your end.”

Victor nodded, “Leer’s Group boasts a wealth of skilled individuals. The presence of one person wouldn’t hinder the work. There’s no need to thank me.”

With those words, he walked past Emma, holding Sophia’s hand.

As they brushed past her, Emma’s expression briefly twisted. She snapped back to her senses and put on an affectionate facade.

“Nevertheless, you helped me solve a major problem. However, I wasn’t sure what you needed, so I didn’t buy anything for you. I did get some small toys for Sophia though. They’re not valuable, just a token of my appreciation.”

Saying that, she took out a limited edition doll from the bag on the sofa. The packaging was exquisite, clearly part of a matching set with the ones in Sophia’s room.

Victor, being aware of the little girl’s affinity for such items, purposefully paused to gauge if she desired to accept it.

However, to his surprise, Sophia didn’t even lift her eyelids. Instead, she grabbed his hand and leaned against him.

Understanding her message, Victor raised his gaze and declined Emma’s gift, “I appreciate the thought, but she already has this one. Besides, she was throwing a tantrum earlier and doesn’t want to interact with people right now.”

Emma’s expression stiffened, but she forced a smile and put the gift away. She looked at Sophia with concern, “What is the reason for her exhibiting another tantrum?”

Having encountered a few setbacks with Sophia, Emma didn’t push further, fearing that Victor would notice something amiss. Her question was only directed at Victor.

Victor succinctly replied, “Just a minor issue.”

After that, he averted his gaze.

It was evident that he had no intention of divulging the specific details.

Or perhaps, he simply didn’t consider her worthy of understanding.

Emma clenched the hand holding the gift bag tightly, her fingertips sinking deep into her flesh. She maintained a strained smile on her face, “Is that so? You came back late, did you take her out to relax?”

Victor furrowed his brows coldly, “It’s getting late. Is there something else? If not, you should go back. Sophia needs to rest.”

Emma opened her mouth, unable to come up with any other excuse, and could only watch as Victor led Sophia past her and went upstairs.

As Emma left the villa, her expression acquired a slightly ominous demeanor.

The chauffeur, noticing her demeanor, became tense and approached cautiously, “Miss, are we going back now?”

Emma glared at him sharply, “Investigate Victor. Where did he take that little bitch tonight?”

The chauffeur felt a tremor within and promptly acquiesced.
