Chapter 103: Do You Still Want to Reconcile with Her?
After returning from the coffee shop, Lily couldn’t shake off her worries. When Samuel finished work, she called some people and they all went to the manor together.
Victor picked up Sophia first after finishing work. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Mr. and Mrs. Leer sitting on the couch with solemn expressions, clearly wanting to talk about something.
“Dad, Mom, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? Is something wrong?” Victor asked, puzzled.
With a serious face, Lily nodded and said, “There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
Seeing his mother’s stern expression, Victor furrowed his brow and turned to Charlotte, asking her to take Sophia upstairs first.
Charlotte agreed, and Sophia obediently greeted her grandparents before following Charlotte upstairs.
Victor sat down on the single sofa next to his parents. “What’s the matter that made you come all the way here so late?”
“Has Olivia come back?” Lily cut to the chase.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Hearing that, Victor’s gaze darkened, and he admitted frankly, “Yes, we’ve met.”
Unsurprised, Lily snorted and continued to question, “Why didn’t you tell us? Don’t tell me you want to reconcile with her!”
Victor’s brow furrowed deeper, and he didn’t answer immediately.
Seeing his silence, Lily’s heart tightened. “No matter what you’re thinking, I absolutely won’t allow that woman to step foot in our house! She left silently back then, not even caring about her own child. And now she wants to come back? I won’t allow it! If she really comes back, what if the same thing happens again? Can you accept it? And what about Sophia? She’s grown up now, can she handle it?”
After speaking, Lily waited for her son’s response, but he remained silent.
Lily’s expression changed, and she earnestly brought up Sophia. “Think about how Sophia has been living all these years. That child has been weak since she was little. Do you know why? If that woman had taken care of her for a while before sending her back, I wouldn’t say anything. But she just abandoned Sophia like that, making her health suffer. Thankfully, our family had the means and we put in great effort to restore Sophia’s health.”
“And the result? Sophia has a withdrawn personality and gets called a motherless wild child outside. Don’t you think this would worsen her ASD? All of this is that woman’s fault! If you insist on letting her come back, then I’ll take Sophia and raise her with us! I absolutely won’t let her fall into that woman’s hands!”
After finishing her words and seeing her son still without a reaction, Lily anxiously looked at her husband.
She purposely brought Samuel along because his words had more influence than her own.
Samuel also felt sorry for his granddaughter. Upon hearing his wife’s words, he spoke with emphasis, “Your mother is right. I won’t interfere with anything else, but I can’t trust that woman to take care of Sophia. Think about it carefully.”
Upon hearing his father’s words, Victor finally showed some reaction. He raised his gaze and met their eyes.
Thinking that he had made an impact, Lily breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she remembered Emma’s distressed expression in the afternoon and couldn’t help but remind, “All these years, thanks to Emma standing by your side, helping to take care of Sophia, and being wholeheartedly devoted to us, like a daughter. In comparison, what does Olivia have that Emma doesn’t? A girl’s youth is limited. You can’t just let her wait forever.”
