Chapter 268: Better Not Make Things Difficult for Me
“Hmph!”
Ethan heard the praises for Emma and snorted in displeasure.
Olivia snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the child in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Ethan poked at the rice on his plate and replied sullenly, “I don’t like that woman.”
Hearing this, Olivia was taken aback, “Why?”
The child had only met Emma twice, where did such a strong prejudice come from?
Ethan glanced up at his mommy, wanting to say it was because that woman was going to marry daddy, and it was because of her that daddy didn’t want them anymore.
But then he remembered that mommy didn’t know they already knew about their own background. He puffed his cheeks and swallowed back the words, simply saying, “Because she’s not nice to Sophia. Sophia doesn’t like her.”
Mentioning Sophia made Olivia’s heart ache, but she couldn’t say anything. She could only smile reassuringly at the children, “How could that be? She will be Sophia’s mommy in the future. How could she be mean to Sophia? Don’t overthink it, just eat your meal.”
Ethan reluctantly lowered his head, silently blaming daddy.
What was so good about that woman compared to mommy that daddy wanted to marry her!
After lunch, Miss Lee organized an outing for everyone nearby.
Olivia took the children out of the restaurant. Seeing that their mood hadn’t improved, she thought of taking them for a walk to cheer them up and suggested, “Why don’t you show mommy where you hid last night? Mommy still doesn’t know how you found that place.”
Talking about the hide-and-seek game from last night barely lifted the children’s spirits as they prepared to take Olivia there.
They had just taken a couple of steps when they heard Sophia’s little voice.
“Olivia…”
Without Olivia by her side and with a mean woman instead, Sophia was in a bad mood during the meal and didn’t eat much.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing Olivia brought a bit of a smile to her face.
Olivia paused and turned around, seeing Victor and Emma standing side by side behind the child.
Seeing how well-matched they looked, Olivia quickly averted her gaze.
Sebastian and Ethan also saw the two of them and tugged on Olivia’s hand with stern little faces, “Mommy, let’s go!”
They didn’t want to see bad daddy sticking with that woman!
Olivia nodded at the two children and looked down at Sophia, “I’m taking the boys for a walk. You be good and stay with daddy.”
After speaking, she bent down to pat the child’s head and left with the boys.
Sophia watched their backs longingly. Seeing that Olivia had no intention of looking back, she turned and tugged on daddy’s sleeve.
Victor frowned slightly and called out to Olivia in a deep voice, “Miss Prescott, if you don’t mind, shall we go together?”
Olivia stopped and turned back to look at Victor coldly, “I don’t mind taking a walk with Mr. Leer and Miss Thornton. I just don’t want to be a third wheel. So, Mr. Leer, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
Without giving Victor a chance to respond, Olivia walked away quickly with the two children.
Watching Olivia and the children leave, Victor’s face darkened.
Fiancee, third wheel.
Olivia always knew how to provoke him!
Sophia didn’t expect Olivia to just leave her like that. Coupled with her strong dislike for the mean woman beside her, she pouted and her eyes reddened as if she would burst into tears any second.
