Chapter 291: Tell Me Why
Sophia carefully finished applying the medicine to Olivia.
Victor, standing nearby, said, “Last night after I changed her dressing, she was already thinking about bringing you the medicine. If I hadn’t stopped her, she would have come over last night.”
Hearing this, Olivia felt even more touched. She looked at Sophia, who was carefully bandaging her, and softly thanked her, “Thank you, Sophia.”
Sophia looked up and gave her a gentle smile.
Nearby, the two children watched eagerly as Sophia finished applying the medicine to their mother. Just as they were about to say something to Sophia, they heard Victor’s voice and their little faces tensed up again.
Yesterday, because Sophia had gone missing, they were too worried about her to show any emotion towards Victor.
But now that Sophia was found, thinking back on it, the two children felt that Victor was partly to blame for her disappearance.
He knew Sophia didn’t like that bad woman, yet he allowed her to get close to Sophia.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Their mom didn’t agree to take Sophia along because she was worried about that bad woman.
Moreover, that bad woman had bullied their mom!
It was all his fault!
With these thoughts, the two children didn’t show Victor any kindness.
Victor sensed that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange. Looking down, he met the fierce expressions of the two children, as if he were some kind of monster.
Seeing Victor look over, the two children pursed their lips. “Since you came with Sophia to deliver the medicine, and now it’s done and Sophia has personally changed mom’s bandages, isn’t there nothing else?”
Victor frowned slightly and responded noncommittally, “Hmm.”
“Then please leave!” The children looked up at the much taller man with an air of authority unusual for their age.
It was the first time Victor had been given an eviction order by such young children. His brow twitched, and he frowned without responding.
He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but the children’s hostility seemed even stronger today than usual.
Olivia also noticed the children’s lack of manners and turned to look at them. “Sebastian, Ethan, be polite.”
The two children huffed angrily. “We are being polite; we said please.”
Olivia felt a headache coming on, not expecting the children to talk back.
Victor spoke deeply, “Are you trying to make me leave?”
The children nodded confidently.
Victor didn’t get angry; instead, he patiently asked, “There must be a reason. Can you tell me why?”
The children’s confidence wavered for a moment under his questioning.
They exchanged glances before Sebastian answered with a stern face, “Because you’re going to marry another woman. If you stay with mom too long, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. We don’t want to see mom suffer because of those misunderstandings.”
As his words fell, silence enveloped the living room.
Victor’s gaze swept over the two children and finally landed on Olivia sitting on the sofa.
For the children to say such things, something must have happened that he didn’t know about.
Had Emma caused trouble for her?
Moreover, the children’s reaction to his marriage seemed a bit excessive.
Noticing Victor’s gaze, Olivia lowered her eyes to hide her unease.
She didn’t understand why the children had such a strong prejudice against Victor. Their reaction to his marriage with Emma was even stronger than hers.
Or perhaps this was the bond between father and sons? Making them care so much about this man?
