That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

“What are you doing here?”

Victor brought Emma to the edge of the plantation, questioning her with a blank expression.

Hearing this, Emma looked at the child in her arms, Sophia, with concern. “I was worried about Sophia, so I came to check on her. Don’t worry, I won’t cause any trouble for you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Victor’s cold voice sounded again, “Now that you’ve seen her, you can see that Sophia is adapting well. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

Emma’s face stiffened. “Victor, I came all this way. At least let me have a meal before I go…”

She then lowered her head in self-reproach and murmured, “I know you’re still angry about what happened last time when I hurt Sophia. But I didn’t mean it. For so many years, I’ve treated Sophia as my own. How could I bear to hurt her? Besides, you’ve already punished me for it. I truly know I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

Mentioning the incident where she hurt Sophia, Victor’s expression grew even colder. “The one you should apologize to is not me.”

Emma looked down at the child in her arms again.

Sophia was uncomfortable in her embrace and struggled but couldn’t break free because of Emma’s grip.

Seeing that Emma finally loosened her hold a bit, Sophia immediately pulled out her arm and reached out to her daddy.

Victor reached out and took the child back into his arms.

“It’s right for Sophia to blame me. It was my fault. I’ll slowly prove to her that I mean no harm.” Knowing she wouldn’t get Sophia’s forgiveness, Emma pretended to be remorseful and changed her tone. Then she looked at Victor tentatively, “I wonder if you’ll give me that chance?”

Her implication was clear-she was asking if their marriage could happen.

Victor naturally understood her insinuation. He tugged at his lips ambiguously and withdrew the coldness from his face. “It’s almost lunchtime. After lunch, you can go back.”

Not getting the answer she wanted, Emma’s face showed a trace of disappointment. She then forced a smile and nodded.

Soon it was lunchtime. Victor took Sophia to get food from the window while Emma followed behind them.

But since it was her first time queuing for food like this, she soon found herself inexplicably pushed to the end of the line.

Emma was anxious to get back to Victor’s side but was surrounded by several parents.

The parents flattered Emma, “Miss Thornton and Mr. Leer have such a good relationship. You’re so good to Sophia, even coming all this way to take care of her.”

Emma felt pleased by their compliments and smiled noncommittally. “It’s what I should do.”

After speaking, she looked shyly at Victor ahead.

“I’ve always heard that Miss Thornton is beautiful. Seeing you in person now, those rumors are true. Miss Thornton and Mr. Leer are a perfect match!”

“Sophia usually isn’t close to people, but she was so well-behaved in Miss Thornton’s arms just now. She must really like Miss Thornton.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“…”

Olivia sat in a corner with two children, hearing all the praises for Emma.

Listening to their compliments made Olivia feel uneasy, and she couldn’t help but frown.

She glanced at Sophia, who was holding Victor’s hand, and felt another wave of doubt.

Emma had been so harsh on Sophia last time; would she really be good to Sophia?

Sophia was still so afraid of her…
