Chapter 426: Fear of Repeating the Same Mistakes
Olivia saw Sebastian approach Victor and frowned as she called out, “Sebastian, come back.”
Hearing his mother’s words, Sebastian obediently nodded, withdrew his gaze from Victor, and turned to follow Olivia back into the house.
Isabelle carefully supported her friend, her eyes full of concern. “Is it really airsickness? I remember you never had this problem before.”
They had known each other for so many years, and this was the first time Isabelle had seen Olivia suffer from airsickness, and so severely at that.
Olivia thought of the two little boys beside her and, fearing to frighten them, nodded faintly. “I wasn’t feeling well today.”
Upon hearing this, Isabelle didn’t press further and helped her into the villa.
At the villa’s entrance, Victor watched their backs with a deep gaze.
“Miss Prescott, Mr. Leer is still outside,” Emily said as she prepared dinner. Seeing them enter and noticing Olivia’s weak state, she quickly came over and saw Victor still standing in the yard.
Olivia frowned slightly and gave a cold instruction without turning her head, “Close the door.”
She didn’t want to get entangled with Victor any longer.
Emily was unaware of the details between them and had always thought they got along well. At least every time she saw them together, Victor seemed to take good care of Olivia.
She even once thought they would end up together.
Seeing Olivia’s cold attitude now, she assumed they had a falling out.
Emily gave an apologetic glance at Victor in the yard and then closed the villa door.
As the door slowly closed, Victor finally withdrew his gaze, turned around, got into the car, and instructed Nathan to return to Leer Manor.
At this time, Sophia should already be home.
Inside the villa, Emily helped Isabelle support Olivia back to the bedroom. The two little boys thoughtfully brought hot water and gathered around the bed, watching Olivia intently.
Olivia smiled reassuringly at the two boys. “Mommy is fine. I just need to rest for a while. You two go play.”
The two boys exchanged glances but still seemed a bit worried.
Isabelle added, “Your godmother is here to take care of her. You two go out now.”
After saying this, she signaled to Emily.
Only then did the two boys reluctantly leave the bedroom with Emily.
As the bedroom door closed, Isabelle’s expression turned serious. She looked back at her friend. “Tell me, what’s going on? Yesterday you were fine at the banquet, and today you’re like this. And why was Victor with you?”
Olivia hadn’t fully recovered yet and felt a bit helpless under her friend’s questioning. “It was really just a coincidence that I ran into him. There was a small incident on the plane on the way back, and I got a bit scared. That’s all. Don’t tell Sebastian and Ethan, I don’t want them to worry.”
Isabelle stared at her for a while, her suspicion gradually turning into concern. “Got it. I understand. But about you and Victor…”
She had witnessed everything between these two from start to finish.
Six years ago, because of Victor’s coldness, her friend had left far away.
But now that she was back, Victor’s attitude had completely changed. He frequently appeared around Olivia and was visibly more attentive to her.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Victor’s change in attitude puzzled Isabelle, and she feared her friend might repeat the same mistakes.
