Chapter 430: Forced to Distance
Upon hearing Olivia’s words, Victor raised an eyebrow slightly and looked down at Sophia, whose hand he was holding.
Sophia hung her head pitifully and tightened her grip on his hand, appearing somewhat nervous.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Following his gaze, Olivia glanced at Sophia and saw her dejected expression, which softened her heart.
In the past, Sophia would always be excited to see her, but today she seemed cautious and hesitant to approach.
It was likely because Olivia had told Sophia last time that she was going abroad and that they should keep their distance.
During this period, Sebastian and Ethan would mention Sophia intentionally or unintentionally every day when they came home.
Sophia must miss her a lot.
Thinking of this, Olivia sighed silently, bent down to pat Sophia’s head, and gently reassured her, “I just didn’t want Sophia to worry. I’m fine. See, I’m perfectly okay now.”
Feeling Olivia’s soft palm, Sophia hesitated before lifting her head and cautiously looking at her.
Meeting Sophia’s gaze, Olivia’s smile became even more genuine.
Only then did a smile gradually appear on Sophia’s face, though she still seemed too timid to get close.
Sebastian and Ethan waited for a while without seeing their mommy return and curiously got up to check at the door.
Seeing the two at the door, the two little boys exchanged glances, both looking hesitant.
They were happy that Sophia could come, but they didn’t want their daddy to come at all.
Seeing them approaching together, the little ones didn’t know what expression to put on.
“Mommy.” After hesitating for a while, the two little boys finally moved closer to their mommy.
Olivia turned to look at her two little boys. “Finished eating?”
The little ones nodded obediently, smiled at Sophia, and then looked up warily at Victor. “Do you need something from Mommy?”
Victor frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “I don’t need anything, but Sophia does.”
Sophia nodded in agreement, looking pitifully at the two little boys with her big eyes.
She could sense that the two little boys didn’t like their daddy. She didn’t like this, she wished the two little boys would like Olivia and their daddy as much as she did.
Meeting Sophia’s pitiful gaze, the two little boys frowned and silently closed their mouths.
Olivia looked down at Sophia again. “Sophia, have you eaten? Would you like to come in and eat with me?”
Hearing that she could eat with Olivia, Sophia nodded vigorously with joy.
Seeing Sophia’s excited expression, Olivia smiled and patted her head before extending her hand to her.
A strange look flashed in Victor’s eyes as he released Sophia’s hand without comment and followed them into the living room.
The two little boys had already had breakfast and sat in the living room waiting for their mommy and Sophia to eat while keeping an eye on Victor.
Victor noticed the wary looks from the two little boys and felt a bit helpless but didn’t react, allowing them to watch him as they pleased.
In the dining room, although Sophia had already eaten breakfast, she just wanted to spend more time with Olivia.
While eating, Sophia kept glancing at Olivia. Seeing that Olivia didn’t look well, she eagerly served her some food.
Having been taken care of by the little ones all morning, Olivia felt both comforted and guilty.
Sophia liked her so much, yet she had to distance herself from Sophia because of Victor…
