Chapter 445: Not Even a Glimpse
When Sophia was mentioned, Olivia couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain, and her smile became somewhat forced.
Sophia was unhappy because of her, but she could only let the two little boys try to cheer her up in her place.
Seeing their mommy’s expression, Sebastian and Ethan’s eyes dimmed, and their little faces were filled with guilt. “Mommy, we’re sorry.”
Olivia frowned slightly, puzzled by the sudden apology from the little ones.
“We shouldn’t have thrown tantrums because of Sophia. Mommy is already very tired every day,” Ethan said softly. “Don’t worry, Mommy. We’ll try our best to make Sophia happy from now on!”
Sebastian chimed in, “Mommy, just focus on your work. Leave Sophia to us!”
Seeing how understanding the little ones were, Olivia smiled with relief. “Thank you, my darlings.”
Ethan mumbled softly again, “But it would be even better if Mommy could go see Sophia.”
After saying that, he quickly added with a smile, afraid Olivia might hear, “It’s okay if you don’t. We’ll take good care of Sophia for you!”
Olivia smiled and patted the little one’s head. After watching them fall asleep, she got up and returned to her own room.
Meanwhile, at Leer Manor.
Sophia had been sullen ever since she came back from kindergarten.
Victor noticed Sophia’s demeanor and frowned.
Knowing that Olivia wouldn’t be going abroad anytime soon had significantly improved Sophia’s mood, but today, for some reason, she was suddenly down again.
“What’s wrong?” Victor asked, puzzled as he looked at Sophia.
Sophia replied listlessly, “Olivia…”
As expected, only Olivia could cause such mood swings in Sophia.
Victor’s eyes darkened. “Olivia isn’t going abroad anymore. Why are you still unhappy?”
Sophia pouted and looked at him unhappily. “I haven’t seen Olivia!”
She thought that with Olivia not going abroad, she would have a chance to see her. But these past few days, Olivia hadn’t shown up at all.
Every day Sophia went to and from school with high hopes, only to be disappointed each time.
After several days of this, she couldn’t help but feel sad, and seeing Victor made her even angrier.
It was all because of Daddy that Olivia was avoiding her!
Victor had no idea what Sophia was thinking. He just suddenly felt that the way Sophia looked at him was similar to how the two little ones in Olivia’s house did.
Ever since Olivia appeared, it seemed he was always disliked by the little ones.
Realizing this, Victor couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. But he still had to patiently comfort Sophia. “Since Olivia isn’t going abroad, you will have a chance to see her.”
Sophia just glared at him angrily, clearly not believing his words.
Victor pressed his temples. “Daddy will think of a way for you. Be a good girl and go to sleep, okay?”
Sophia stared at him suspiciously for a while before slowly extending a small hand towards him and said in a childish voice, “Pinky promise.”
Victor helplessly extended his hand and let Sophia make the pinky promise before she finally relented.
After sending Sophia back to her room and recalling how she had cried terribly in her sleep last time, Victor didn’t dare leave immediately. He waited until Sophia was sound asleep before getting up to leave.
Standing at Sophia’s door, Victor’s face was extremely grim.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Sophia relied so much on Olivia, yet Olivia was so heartless towards Sophia that she wouldn’t even see her once.
If Sophia knew what Olivia had said to him that morning, who knows how much she would cry again.
