Chapter 60: That Man Deserves to Die
Victor’s gaze remained blank as he faced the two little boys before him, a hint of concern creasing his brow.
It was clear that these two little boys were accusing him, but for some reason, seeing them like this made him feel uneasy and even somewhat guilty.
Olivia held Sophia in her arms, and upon hearing their two little ones utter such words, she was initially taken aback, followed by a deep pang of pain in her heart.
Fortunately, the two little ones still didn’t know that the man before them was their biological father.
If they knew, they would probably feel even more distressed…
After a long silence, Victor reluctantly averted his gaze from the two little boys and apologized with a tinge of remorse, “I’m sorry, I didn’t treat you as bad people, I just… thought that since you already have your own lives, it wouldn’t be right to have further contact with ex-husband. If your father knew about it, he would feel uncomfortable.”
Upon hearing these words, both Olivia and the two little ones were taken aback.
The two little ones exchanged surprised glances and belatedly remembered that their dad still didn’t know about their relationship.
Ethan, being straightforward, denied, “It’s okay, we don’t have a dad!”
Olivia was successively shocked by the words of these people. When she heard her youngest son’s statement, her heart skipped a beat. She wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.
She could only anxiously wait for Victor’s response.
Doubt gradually appeared in Victor’s eyes as he associated the words of the little boys with the photos he had just seen. No matter how he thought about it, it felt peculiar.
“Where is your dad? What do you mean by not having a dad?” he couldn’t help but ask.
Ethan looked at the man, who wore a puzzled expression, and implied, “Dad doesn’t want us. He abandoned mommy and doesn’t like us. We have always relied on mommy alone, and we have never seen him.”
Upon hearing the little boy’s response, Victor’s brow furrowed deeply, and his gaze fixedly turned toward Olivia, emotions surging in his eyes.
These years, it turns out this woman had been raising the two children all by herself.
He couldn’t imagine how they had managed all these years.
Moreover, this woman’s resume abroad was so impressive.
How much hardship had she endured to reach that level?
That man actually abandoned them, mother and children! He truly deserved to die!
Olivia sensed the intense emotions mixed in the man’s gaze and could even guess what he was about to say.
Before he could speak, Olivia lowered her eyes slightly, concealing all the emotions in her eyes, and casually interrupted their conversation, “Alright, Sophia has stopped crying. It’s time for you to go back, and I need to go to work as well.”
With those words, she released Sophia from her embrace, gently patting the girl’s head, and whispered softly, “Behave and go back with your dad. You can come and play with us next time.”
Sophia accepted her promise, a smile breaking through her tear-stained face. She obediently nodded and walked back to her father’s side.
Victor’s gaze darkened slightly, realizing that Olivia didn’t want to delve into the previous topic, so he refrained from pressing further.
Seeing Sophia approach with red eyes, he silently touched her little head and his tone softened a lot, “Say goodbye then.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Sophia raised her hand and waved goodbye to Olivia and the two little boys.
The three of them waved back in response.
Finally, Victor nodded slightly to Olivia, “I’ll take her back now.”
Before Olivia could react, he turned around with Sophia and left.
