Chapter 10: He Might Recognize You
The four of them made their way directly back to the villa.
Olivia and the two kids were hungry, so they devoured everything Isabelle had brought back.
After dinner, the two little ones went upstairs to take a bath, leaving Isabelle and Olivia alone in the living room.
Isabelle looked meaningfully at her best friend and said curiously, “I can’t quite understand why you’re avoiding Victor. Didn’t you have a mutual agreement to divorce back then? Why are you so afraid of him now? And why did you get divorced in the first place? You never told me what happened a few years ago.”
Meeting Isabelle’s gaze, Olivia instinctively lowered her eyes. After hesitating for a while, she reluctantly gave a brief account of what had happened back then.
“Olivia, you’ve got quite the guts!” Isabelle exclaimed, shocked to learn that her best friend had drugged Victor and secretly borne his children.
No wonder she wanted to run away as soon as she heard Victor’s name today!
Bitterness filled Olivia’s voice as she replied, “I don’t want him to know about Sebastian and Ethan’s existence. And, I’m afraid he still holds a grudge about what I did to him with the drugs. With his status, seeking revenge against me would be too easy. Maybe if it were just me, I wouldn’t be afraid of him, but now I have two children with me.”
She let out a self-deprecating laugh and continued, “Or maybe I’m overthinking it. Perhaps he never cared about that incident in the first place. After all, I’m not an important person.”
“That’s not necessarily true!”
Isabelle furrowed her brows, “I think he might have recognized your voice. When he came in just now, he asked where you were. It seemed like he was here to settle the score with you!”
Upon hearing this, Olivia froze for a moment, and then a pang of pain struck her heart.
Indeed, for him, there was only the lingering resentment from that night…
Seeing her best friend with lowered eyes, wearing a pained expression, Isabelle awkwardly tried to comfort her, “Don’t worry. Seacrest is a big place, and your work is not related to him. You might not cross paths.”
Olivia nodded slightly, holding onto the same flicker of hope in her heart.
“Mommy!”
Suddenly, Sebastian and Ethan’s voices reached Olivia’s ears, interrupting their conversation.
Olivia and Isabelle looked up to find the two little ones descending the stairs, their hair still damp from their bath, and their fair skin glistening with moisture. Clad in cow-print pajamas, they approached the two women with wide eyes.
Approaching the two women, they looked up with wide eyes and asked curiously, “What are you talking about?”
Seeing the adorable faces of the two little ones, Isabelle’s mind was filled with nothing else. She immediately squatted down and hugged them both in her arms, saying, “You are so cute! Would you like to go home with me? I love you so much!”
Sebastian and Ethan, with their cheeks being rubbed, couldn’t utter a word.
Olivia found it amusing.
She quickly rescued her two sons from the clutches of her best friend and then reminded of something else.
“I almost forgot. This trip back to the country was so sudden, and the follow-up work will be busy. I can’t bring Sebastian and Ethan with me. We need to find a suitable kindergarten nearby, and perhaps a nanny as well.”
The two little ones didn’t say anything upon hearing their mommy’s words.
With their intelligence, they didn’t really need to go to kindergarten at all.
However, their mommy was indeed very busy, so they had to cooperate.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
After hearing this, Isabelle pondered for a moment and said, “Kindergarten? I know a great one!”
Olivia looked at her best friend and said, “Tell me about it.”
“There’s an aristocratic kindergarten nearby, it’s really nice. It’s well-known in Seacrest, and they provide a rich curriculum, including learning multiple languages from different countries. The teachers there are excellent, and many wealthy families compete to enroll their children. So, you don’t have to worry about the little ones being bullied.”
Isabelle introduced.
Upon hearing this, grateful for the suggestion, Olivia immediately said, “Really? I’ll check online, and if everything is fine, I’ll send them there.”
