Chapter 50: Having a Disagreement with Him
As they made their way back home, Sophia remained in a sullen state.
Ignoring her father trailing behind, she marched straight upstairs and angrily locked the door.
Standing at the doorway, Charlotte observed Sophia’s pouting face and the expressionless Mr. Leer. She knew all too well that another disagreement had taken place between the two.
“Mr. Leer, why is Miss Sophia upset?”
Charlotte asked, concerned, upon hearing the pounding on the upstairs door.
Victor, thinking about the reason why this little girl was mad at him, replied coldly, “It’s nothing, just her throwing a tantrum. Keep an eye on her.”
Charlotte nodded, accustomed to his dismissive demeanor, and replied, “Alright.”
It was strange that Miss Sophia rarely showed her temper, but she always ended up having arguments with Mr. Leer.
Victor wasn’t one to offer comfort.
In the end, the house still needed a mistress.
Sophia only directed her anger towards Victor, and when Charlotte knocked on the door, she obediently opened it.
“Miss Sophia, come and have something to eat.”
Carrying a tray of food, Charlotte went inside. The dishes on the tray were all Sophia’s favorites.
However, Sophia had no appetite. She sat listlessly at the table, took a few bites, and then pushed the tray away.
Witnessing this, Charlotte couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
But it was ultimately a matter between father and daughter, and she couldn’t intervene. She took the tray and later on, she took Sophia to bathe.
When she finished tidying up the bathroom and came out, she saw Miss Sophia lying on the edge of the bed, with a notebook computer in front of her. She had a serious expression as she tapped on the keyboard, but Charlotte didn’t ask what she was doing as she was used to it. She finished her duties and left the room.
…
On the other side, Olivia was stuck on the way home with her two little ones.
Sebastian and Ethan sat quietly in the back, occasionally glancing at each other and then looking at their mommy’s expression through the rearview mirror.
They didn’t know what had happened at the kindergarten earlier, although mommy said she was fine, they could tell that mommy was upset.
“Mommy, we made greeting cards at the kindergarten today! The teacher asked us to make them for our favorite person, and both me and my brother made one for you!”
Ethan secretly signaled to his brother.
Sebastian understood and nodded, “Mommy, do you want to know what we wrote?”
Olivia knew that the two little ones were trying to cheer her up and smiled in agreement, “What did you write?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a rustling sound from behind, followed by Ethan’s expressive reading.
“My favorite person is mommy! My mommy is a very amazing doctor! Although she’s always busy with work, my brother and I know that mommy loves us the most! Mommy saves lives every day, and we think she’s incredible! But we also feel sorry for mommy. We hope mommy won’t be too tired because if she’s too tired, we’ll be very worried! I hope mommy will always be the most beautiful!”
Olivia couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s so long. No wonder your teacher told me that your language is very good. Sebastian, what did you write?”
Sebastian sat up straight and said seriously, “Mommy is an amazing doctor. It’s hard for her to treat patients, and it’s also hard for her to take care of me and my little brother. In the future, I want to be as amazing as mommy! I hope I can grow up quickly, earn money to support the family, so mommy won’t be so tired.”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Upon hearing the words of the two little ones, Olivia’s heart softened. The incident at the kindergarten was pushed to the back of her mind. “Thank you, my darlings.”
The two little ones glanced at each other, sensing that mommy’s mood seemed to have improved, and they both sighed with relief.
