Chapter 76: Can’t Separate from Us?
Seeing Sophia’s appearance, Olivia was initially taken aback, but then her heart suddenly ached. Almost instinctively, she crouched down and embraced the little girl, gently patting her back to provide comfort.
Sophia clung tightly to Olivia’s dress, her sobs echoing with her distress.
Witnessing this scene, Victor’s eyes revealed a hint of helplessness once again.
Victor, witnessing the scene, felt a renewed sense of helplessness. At home, he had tried to console his daughter but she remained silent, seeking solace in her own way.
Now, in the presence of Olivia, Sophia reached out, seeking the comfort she craved.
It was as if young children instinctively sought refuge in their mothers.
“Don’t cry. Tell me what happened,” Olivia cooed, her voice filled with sympathy.
Sophia remained silent, unable to find her voice amidst her tears.
Victor cleared his throat, breaking the silence. “When she went to the kindergarten today and didn’t see your two sons, she thought they changed the kindergarten. She cried all night at home, insisting on coming here to make sure.”
Upon hearing this, Olivia felt touched. This little girl truly clung to her two little boys.
Realizing this, Olivia’s tone became even softer. “Stop crying, okay? The little boys weren’t feeling well today, so I gave them a day off. They will go to the kindergarten tomorrow to play with you.”
Hearing Olivia’s almost identical words to her father, Sophia finally believed it. She slowly stopped sobbing, left Olivia’s embrace, and cautiously peeked inside the house, hoping to catch sight of her two little friends.
However, from her position at the door, she couldn’t see into the dining room where Sebastian and Ethan were having their meal. Anxiety crept back into her expression.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Observing Sophia’s cautious behavior, Olivia’s heart softened completely. She patted the little girl’s head and said, “Do you want to play with the little boys? I will take you to find them.”
After saying that, with Sophia in her arms, Olivia turned around to go inside but suddenly remembered that Victor was still at the door.
Moreover, if she didn’t speak up, that person might not follow them inside.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at the man by the door.
The evening breeze brushed past, and Victor’s shirt clung tightly to his body. He looked expressionless, watching the two of them.
It seemed he was in a hurry to bring Sophia over and had forgotten to put on his coat.
Because of the little girl in his arms, Olivia also softened her heart towards him. She calmly said, “Mr. Leer, why don’t you come inside and sit as well?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man at the door lifted his foot and followed them.
“The little boys are having dinner. I will take you to see them,” Olivia walked slowly, soothing Sophia as they went.
The three of them arrived at the dining room.
Sebastian and Ethan were engrossed in their meal. When they saw them enter, they swallowed their food and wore puzzled expressions. “Why is Sophia here?”
Olivia placed Sophia next to the two little boys and gently said, “Sophia was worried when she saw that you didn’t go to the kindergarten. She cried and wanted to come find you. Talk to her.”
As if confirming her words, Sophia nervously intertwined her hands on her princess dress, her big eyes fixated on Sebastian and Ethan. Her nose turned red, giving her the appearance of a fragile doll.
Witnessing Sophia’s vulnerable state, the two boys exchanged glances, finding her both adorable and deserving of their sympathy.
“We weren’t feeling well this morning, but we’re better now. Don’t worry,” Sebastian reassured in a serious tone.
Ethan turned back and made a funny face at Sophia. “Look how scared you were. We just took a day off. Can’t separate from us, little tagalong?”
Upon hearing the boys’ words, Sophia’s worries melted away, replaced by a radiant smile. Her tears transformed into laughter, and the room filled with joy once again.
