That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 266: Quietly Held by Her



“Since Miss Thornton is here, and Sophia’s tree has been planted, Mr. Leer, you should take Sophia and Miss Thornton back,” Olivia interrupted Emma coldly, not wanting to attract attention.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing this, Emma straightened up and looked at Victor with a smile. Her purpose for coming was to prevent Victor from staying with Olivia, and now that Olivia had suggested it herself, she couldn’t be happier.

Victor’s eyes darkened slightly upon hearing Olivia’s words. He frowned and glanced at her, “Miss Prescott helped me and Sophia plant the tree just now. I can’t just leave you two. There’s still one more tree to plant, let’s do it together.”

Olivia frowned slightly, wanting to refuse.

Beside her, Sophia timidly called out, “Olivia…”

Hearing Sophia’s voice, Olivia looked back with a pained expression, seeing only resistance written all over Sophia’s face. Clearly, Emma’s previous actions had left a shadow on Sophia, making her still afraid of her.

If possible, Olivia also wanted to keep Sophia by her side, but…

She had no real relationship with Sophia. Even if she wanted to protect her, there was no way to do so.

“Since Mr. Leer insists, then let’s do it,” Olivia agreed after a moment of hesitation.

Victor’s expression softened slightly as he picked up the shovel and continued filling the soil.

Sophia, knowing Olivia wouldn’t abandon her, felt better and smiled as she joined the boys in filling the soil.

For a moment, Emma was left standing alone, feeling neglected.

“Victor, you must be tired. Why don’t you take a break?” Emma asked after a moment of silence, trying to pull Victor away from Olivia.

Victor continued working as if he hadn’t heard her.

Emma bit her lip and bravely reached out to take the shovel from his hand.

The two children couldn’t stand it anymore.

Sebastian stopped and looked at her innocently, “Miss, if you’re worried, shouldn’t you be more concerned about Sophia? Mr. Leer is just filling a few holes; it shouldn’t be much for an adult. But Sophia is sweating.”

Ethan chimed in, “Didn’t you just apologize to Sophia? Were you not sincere?”

Emma’s face turned pale and then red from the children’s words. She clenched her palm hard to suppress her anger.

Because of the children’s words, she had no choice but to leave Victor and walk over to Sophia. With forced patience, she said, “Sophia, are you tired? I brought some delicious food. How about I take you to eat?”

Sophia flinched and bit her lip without saying anything, instinctively looking up at Olivia.

Olivia felt sorry for the child but couldn’t say anything. After all, Emma was Victor’s publicly acknowledged fiancee and Sophia’s future mother. She had no right to interfere in their matters.

Seeing the child remain silent, Emma smiled and reached out to hold her in her arms.

Sophia struggled a bit but was held tighter. She could only bite her lip and quietly let herself be held.

Seeing Sophia so quiet, Victor thought she didn’t dislike Emma that much. Besides, in his presence, Emma wouldn’t dare do anything to the child. So he didn’t say anything.

After planting the last tree, Olivia once again suggested that Victor take them away.

Victor agreed noncommittally.
