Chapter 269: I Want to Go Back to the Room
“Olivia…”
Olivia’s figure disappeared from their sight. Sophia lowered her head in grievance, her voice tinged with a sob, “I want Olivia…”
Victor was already displeased by Olivia’s earlier words. Hearing the child still insistently asking for that woman, he frowned slightly, “Olivia has her own children, Sophia. You can’t always go and bother her.”
Sophia looked up angrily at her daddy.
Victor frowned and met the child’s gaze.
Father and daughter both had the same stubborn expression on their faces.
In the end, Sophia couldn’t win against her daddy. After glaring for a while, she lowered her head in frustration.
If she couldn’t go, she couldn’t go. After all, they were staying in the same room, and Olivia would have to come back to pack her things!
Thinking this, the child stopped crying and said to her daddy, “I want to go back to the room.”
Victor didn’t understand the child’s thoughts. He just assumed that with Olivia gone, the child wasn’t used to being in a crowded environment. Without thinking much about it, he agreed.
Beside them, Emma’s heart stirred slightly. She quickly spoke before Victor could, bending down to touch Sophia’s head, “Is Sophia feeling unwell? Why else would she suddenly want to go back to the room?”
Sophia pursed her lips, not wanting to talk to her.
Emma took her silence as agreement and stood up to speak to Victor, “Since Sophia isn’t feeling well, I can’t just leave like this. Why don’t I go back with you? I can help take care of her.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Victor glanced at her, recalling how Olivia always seemed distant whenever she mentioned this woman. His expression turned cold, “No need. I can take care of her myself. It’s getting late; you should head back down the mountain.”
Emma had anticipated his refusal and was prepared with a response. She smiled and said, “If Mrs. Leer finds out that Sophia was unwell and I just left her, she would definitely be worried. And if Mrs. Leer later learns that I abandoned Sophia, she would surely blame me. Besides, I feel very guilty about what happened last time with Sophia. I haven’t had a chance to properly apologize to her since then. Today can be my way of making it up to her!”
Victor frowned but said nothing.
“If I can’t make it up to Sophia, I’ll feel very guilty,” Emma said, lowering her head in feigned remorse.
Sophia just wanted to go back to the hotel and wait for Olivia. Seeing that her daddy was still not moving, she urged him anxiously, “Daddy, let’s go back!”
Victor thought the child must be feeling quite unwell and decided not to argue further. He bent down to pick up the child and headed towards the botanical garden’s entrance.
Emma didn’t mind that he hadn’t responded to her. Watching him carry Sophia out, she immediately followed.
Victor informed Miss Lee of their departure and then took Sophia back to the hotel.
Emma followed them all the way, but Victor couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her.
Back at the hotel, Victor placed Sophia on the bed and intended to call Jenson to ask how to handle this situation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out his phone, Sophia jumped off the bed and ran over to Olivia’s bed.
Seeing this, Victor was momentarily stunned but gradually understood Sophia’s thoughts.
He had thought Sophia was feeling unwell, but it turned out she just wanted to come back here to wait for Olivia and the two boys.
Sitting on Olivia’s bed, Sophia felt much more at ease. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation for Olivia and the little boys’ return.
