Chapter 451: Don’t Want to See Mr. Leer
Fortunately, the little ones didn’t stay sad for long.
They knew that if they were upset, Mommy would also feel bad.
After feeling sorry for Sophia for a few seconds, the little ones smiled again and reached out their hands to Olivia.
Olivia collected her thoughts, smiled, and helped each of the little ones into the car. Emily sat with them in the back seat.
“Mommy, why didn’t you tell us you were coming to pick us up?” Ethan asked cautiously.
Olivia slowly started the car. Hearing this, she thought about her sneaky actions earlier and felt a bit guilty. “Mommy… Mommy decided suddenly.”
The little one tilted his head in confusion. “But aren’t you busy with work today?”
“Today ended early, so I suddenly decided to come pick you up,” Olivia tried to make her voice sound flawless.
As soon as she finished speaking, Sebastian’s little voice echoed in the car, “Mommy is lying.”
Olivia was startled.
Ethan looked at his brother in confusion, not understanding why he said that.
“Mommy has been here for a long time, right?” Sebastian looked at Olivia’s face in the rearview mirror, his little face serious.
Olivia didn’t expect the little one to notice and wanted to brush it off. “I just got here and saw you.”
But Sebastian ignored her explanation and said, “If Mommy really wanted to pick us up, she would have told Emily not to come. But Emily came to pick us up, and Mommy came so late. Mommy said she finished work early, she must be hiding something from us!”
Moreover, when Daddy picked up Sophia earlier, he heard Sophia call out “Auntie.”
At that time, he thought Sophia missed Mommy so much that she called out. Now he realized that Mommy must have been hiding in a corner watching them.
Olivia didn’t expect the little one to analyze so thoroughly and felt a bit embarrassed. “What would Mommy hide from you? Mommy really just got here…”
Ethan finally realized what was going on and said innocently, “Sophia was looking for Mommy earlier, she must have known Mommy was here!”
Sebastian nodded. He thought the same but didn’t understand why Mommy wouldn’t admit it.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Seeing that both boys had accepted that she had been there all along, Olivia felt a bit helpless.
Emily also realized what was going on and, without thinking much, smiled and asked Olivia, “No wonder you called me this afternoon, you must have finished work by then, right?”
This almost openly told the little ones that Olivia had been there early but hadn’t shown herself.
Olivia responded with a bitter smile.
The two boys in the back seat looked at their mommy with accusing eyes.
“Mommy, since you were here, why didn’t you come to see Sophia?” Ethan couldn’t help but ask.
Olivia glanced at the little one with a headache. She couldn’t possibly explain the issues between her and Lily to them.
So she had no suitable reason to explain herself.
As she racked her brain for an excuse, Ethan’s voice rang out again, “Mommy doesn’t want to see Mr. Leer, right?”
Otherwise, why would she wait until Mr. Leer and Sophia left before coming to pick them up?
Olivia let out a sigh of relief and looked at the little ones, tacitly agreeing.
Indeed, one of the reasons she didn’t go to see Sophia was because of Victor.
