Chapter 39: An Unusual Relationship
Stepping out of the room, Olivia spoke softly to the two little ones on the other end of the line, “Be good, Mommy is still treating patients and will be home late. Stay and play with your godmother for a while.”
The two little ones were already accustomed to Mommy coming home late due to work, so they obediently agreed.
At the same time, inside the room…
Victor’s expression was icy cold, his anger boiling inside him.
The image of Sophia’s missed hand and the word “Mommy” from the phone kept repeating in his mind.
It became clear why Olivia appeared so indifferent when she saw Sophia.
It turned out this woman was already married and even had children with another man!
That’s why she abandoned her daughter back then!
He lowered his gaze to his daughter who was still standing in place.
The little girl couldn’t hide her disappointment, but when she saw the woman leaving, she still looked up and stared at the door, waiting for her to come back.
This scene pierced his heart even more.
Even if she comes back, that woman still won’t want her daughter!
Victor’s dark gaze was frightening as he walked briskly to Sophia’s side and bent down to pick her up.
Sophia looked at her own daddy with confusion and tugged at his collar, indicating that she didn’t want to be held.
But Victor acted as if he hadn’t noticed and coldly said to Isaac, “It’s getting late. I’ll take Sophia home first. If Old Whitaker wakes up, let me know, and I’ll come to see him another day.”
Without waiting for Isaac’s response, he carried Sophia and walked away with large strides.
Olivia just finished her call and was about to go inside.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Just as she reached the door, she saw the man coming out expressionlessly.
Olivia’s heart tightened, and she was thinking about how to handle the situation, but the man walked past her as if he hadn’t seen her.
Seeing his indifferent figure leaving, Olivia couldn’t help but feel stunned. Snap out of it, she thought, and inwardly mocked herself.
It seemed that this man didn’t care at all about the phone call just now.
Yes, they were already people from two different worlds. She had realized this fact a long time ago.
Six years ago, Victor never cared about her, let alone now when she left and did what she did.
Now, this man probably wouldn’t care about her anymore, and the two children were the same. They were just strangers to him.
Thinking back on her emotional ups and downs just now, Olivia felt like a joke.
She stood outside the door for a long time, took a deep breath, slowly organized her thoughts, and walked inside.
Inside the room, only Isaac remained.
He had witnessed the interaction between the two just now.
For some reason, he felt that the relationship between these two people was not as simple as it seemed.
Especially Victor.
It was the first time he had seen Victor show so many emotions toward a woman.
Curiosity filled Isaac’s mind, but it was their private matter, so he didn’t ask further and casually started talking to Olivia about Old Whitaker’s condition.
As Daddy carried Sophia out of the villa and into the car, she became a little anxious. She wrote a series of words in her notebook, tugged at Daddy’s clothes, and made him look.
“I haven’t talked to that lady yet. Can’t we stay a little longer?”
Victor’s mind was in turmoil, his brow furrowed.
Sophia sensed that Daddy’s mood seemed a bit down, and a hint of concern appeared in her eyes as she wrote, “What’s wrong with Daddy? Why aren’t you happy?”
