That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Chapter 173: Let’s Take It Slow



“I’m sorry, something came up last night and I couldn’t pick you up. Have you had dinner?” Olivia gently asked as she released the little ones from her embrace.

The three little ones nodded obediently, “Yes! We’ve already eaten and played for a long time!”

Hearing this, Olivia felt relieved. She straightened up and said, “What did you play? Show me.”

Ethan excitedly ran towards the living room, “We were playing with Lego! It’s so much fun!”

Sebastian and Sophia stayed close to Olivia, each holding one of her hands, as she watched Ethan’s back with amusement.

The Lego set that Victor had given the kids clearly met their expectations. Whether it was the model or the difficulty, they loved it.

In just one evening, the three little ones had already built a base.

However, the Lego set seemed quite boyish.

Olivia looked at Sophia with concern, “Sophia, do you like this Lego?”

Sophia’s eyes sparkled as she nodded vigorously.

As long as she could play with the boys, she liked anything!

Seeing this, Olivia felt reassured. Since it was still early, she decided to play with the kids for a while longer.

Sebastian and Ethan were used to building Lego with her and were each focused on their own parts. Olivia also picked a section to work on.

While searching for small pieces, Olivia felt a tug on her clothes.

She turned around in confusion to see Sophia looking at her pitifully, holding the assembly instructions and pointing to a small part on it, her face full of helplessness.

Clearly, she couldn’t find the piece she needed.

Olivia smiled and was about to help her look for it when she suddenly remembered Sophia’s occasional attempts to speak.

If she wasn’t mistaken, Sophia only spoke a few words when she was particularly emotional.

Thinking of this, Olivia pretended to be puzzled and looked at Sophia, “What’s wrong?”

Sophia pointed to the part on the assembly instructions again, but Olivia continued to look confused.

After several attempts, Sophia became anxious and her mouth started to quiver.

Olivia’s heart softened. She patted Sophia’s head and said, “If you want me to do something, you have to tell me.”

Sophia blinked and opened her mouth.

Olivia thought Sophia was about to speak and watched expectantly.

Sophia seemed to be trying but after a while, she still couldn’t say anything. Frustrated, she poked the two boys who were focused on their building.

Sebastian and Ethan had been building with Sophia for a while and could guess what she wanted from her actions. They were about to help when they saw their mommy shaking her head behind Sophia.

Seeing this, the two boys didn’t know what their mommy was up to but obediently sat back down.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Olivia patiently said again, “Sophia can speak, right? Come on, tell us what you want us to do.”

The two boys nodded in agreement, “What’s wrong, Sophia?”

Three pairs of eyes looked at Sophia expectantly.

Feeling their anticipation, Sophia’s face turned red as she tried hard to speak but no sound came out.

After a while, Sophia became both anxious and upset, her eyes gradually reddening.

Olivia had been watching Sophia’s expression closely. Seeing this, she quickly patted Sophia’s cheek and apologized, “I’m sorry, I was too impatient. Let’s take it slow. Be good, Sophia. Don’t cry.”

Sebastian and Ethan had already found the piece Sophia needed from the pile of parts. They proudly held it up in front of her, “Look, Sophia! Is this what you wanted? We found it for you!”

Sophia took the piece, sniffled, and slowly a smile reappeared on her face.
