That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Emma remained attentive to Victor’s reactions, and upon hearing the topic of marriage, she instinctively glanced at Olivia, triggering a surge of jealousy within her.

“It’s not urgent,” Victor replied, his gaze unwaveringly fixed on Olivia across from him.

He wanted to gauge Olivia’s response, curious to see if she would still maintain her nonchalant demeanor upon hearing his answer.

Upon hearing his words, Olivia first froze, but swiftly found solace.

Well, it’s inevitable, even though they haven’t married yet. There’s no need to be surprised.

With this realization, Olivia lowered her gaze once again, casually picking up her chopsticks as if the previous discussion had no bearing on her.

Emma was surprised to hear this response and had a vague sense that something was off.

During their previous discussion about marriage, Victor had exhibited a clear sense of resignation, yet now there appeared to be an abrupt shift in his demeanor.

Old Whitaker displayed his dissatisfaction with Victor’s answer, furrowing his brow and showing his desire to delve deeper into the matter.

Recognizing the situation, Emma swiftly interjected, “Exactly. I’m in no rush. Old Whitaker, please don’t pressure us. We’re doing fine as we are, and besides, Victor rarely finds time to visit you. Let’s not discuss our personal affairs today. Let’s focus on something that brings you joy.”

She feared that if the discussion continued, Victor might change his stance and bring up canceling their engagement, especially in front of Olivia. Such a scenario would be embarrassing.

Isaac noticed her reluctance to discuss this topic and chimed in with a smile, “Victor has always been dedicated to his work like this. Grandfather, please do not concern yourself. Victor has his own plans and aspirations.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Old Whitaker furrowed his brow, “Work is undoubtedly important, but you can’t keep postponing marriage like this. Sophia has grown up without a mother to take care of her. Aren’t you concerned? I am!”

Emma quickly mumbled a vague response.

Olivia also felt a pang of sympathy for the little girl.

No wonder Sophia constantly sought solace in Olivia’s presence-there was no mother at home to look after her.

Lost in her thoughts, Olivia suddenly heard her name being mentioned by Old Whitaker.

“And Dr. Prescott? Are you married?”

Upon hearing this, Olivia snapped back to reality, paused for a moment, and replied, “Not yet.”

Old Whitaker looked at her with satisfaction and suggested with a smile, “How do you think Issac?”

After several treatments, Old Whitaker had developed a great appreciation for Olivia. If he could have her as his granddaughter-in-law and bring her back home, it would be even more ideal in his eyes.

Olivia was caught off guard by his words and didn’t know how to respond.

Abigail, who was beside her, cast a disdainful glance at Olivia and said, “Grandfather, please refrain from making hasty matchmaking decisions. Even though Dr. Prescott is exceptional, she is already a mother with children, and her children are five years old now. Considering my brother’s circumstances, do you think it is appropriate for him to marry someone who is divorced and has children? Even if you don’t mind, I do mind.”

Old Whitaker was surprised, “Is that so? I didn’t know that.”

Olivia admitted frankly, “I’ve been divorced before, so I won’t pursue a relationship with Mr. Whitaker.”

Hearing her words, Old Whitaker frowned his brow disapprovingly, “It doesn’t matter if you’ve experienced divorce. Your exceptional qualities ensure that you have an abundance of potential partners. There’s no doubt about whether to pursue or not. If both of you truly harbor feelings for one another, I will definitely give my approval!”

Olivia smiled appreciatively, “Thank you for your high regard, Old Whitaker, but Mr. Whitaker and I are indeed not suitable for each other. I will continue my search for a suitable partner.”

Old Whitaker nodded, “Being a single mother can certainly present its challenges. When the time comes and you meet the right person, I encourage you to pursue marriage if it aligns with your desires and circumstances.”

Olivia obediently nodded.

Victor sat across, watching her conversation with Old Whitaker, and his gaze gradually darkened.
