Chapter 292: There Shouldn’t Be Too Many Involvements
After a moment, Victor pulled his lips into a slight smile at the two children. “You’re right. Since that’s the case, I won’t bother you any further.”
Regarding his marriage to Emma, it was still just a one-sided announcement from him and hadn’t been made public yet. Therefore, Victor didn’t plan to tell them now.
The two children were a bit surprised by how easily he agreed and felt a faint sense of disappointment.
So, their daddy was really going to marry another woman and abandon them…
Thinking of this, the two children looked at Victor with a hint of resentment in their eyes and said perfunctorily, “Goodbye.”
Victor was baffled by the children’s attitude. He couldn’t understand what he had done wrong besides the marriage with Emma, which made the children act so differently.
Just a moment ago, they were keeping their distance from him, and now that he agreed to leave, they seemed somewhat reluctant.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t come up with an answer.
Victor simply put his thoughts aside and bent down to take Sophia’s hand.
Sophia had been listening to her daddy’s conversation with the boys and knew that he was about to take her away. She immediately frowned, jumped off the sofa, and dodged Victor’s hand from afar.
Victor’s outstretched hand grasped nothing but air, and he looked at Sophia, who was three feet away from him, with a headache.
He should have expected this. Sophia was so dependent on Olivia and had just been frightened, so naturally, she would be even more unwilling to leave Olivia.
Sophia’s purpose for coming here today wasn’t just to deliver medicine; or rather, delivering medicine was only part of it.
The most important thing was that she wanted to stay with Olivia.
“Sophia, be good. We’ll come back to see Olivia another day. Now come home with daddy,” Victor said from where he stood, looking at Sophia from a distance.
Yesterday’s incident not only scared Sophia but also taught him a lesson. He didn’t dare to push Sophia too hard, fearing she might do something impulsive again.
Despite his gentle tone, Sophia still shook her head stubbornly, her little face full of determination. “No!”
She wanted to be with Olivia! Olivia treated her the best!
When she was alone in the deep pit, crying until her voice was hoarse, it was Olivia who came to rescue her!
Sophia felt that if she had to have a mommy, she only wanted Olivia. She didn’t want anyone else!
Sophia spoke again, still because of Olivia.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Victor sighed inwardly. Ever since Sophia met Olivia, she had been constantly showing him how important Olivia was in her heart.
Even he, who had taken care of her for years, couldn’t compare.
The two children saw Sophia’s demeanor and thought of yesterday’s incident. They felt reluctant to let Sophia leave.
But mommy didn’t show any intention of wanting Sophia to stay either.
The two children had no choice but to quiet down, somewhat regretting that they had hurriedly driven their daddy away earlier. If they hadn’t done that, he wouldn’t be trying to take Sophia away now.
For a moment, no one in the living room spoke up; only Victor and Sophia were at an impasse.
Victor pressed his temples in frustration. “Sophia, daddy has to go back to work. How about I take you to your grandparents’ house?”
Sophia stubbornly refused again and ran over to cling to Olivia’s hand, using her actions to tell her daddy that she wanted to stay with Olivia.
Olivia felt a wave of tenderness as Sophia clung to her.
But seeing Victor in front of her, she couldn’t help but steel herself against Sophia.
After all, Sebastian and Ethan were right. Victor was about to get engaged to another woman; they shouldn’t have too many involvements.
