That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Early the next morning, Olivia had breakfast with the three little ones.

Sophia sat obediently beside her, being fed by the two little boys. Her cheeks were puffed up, making her look adorably like a little hamster.

Olivia looked at Sophia’s well-behaved and cute appearance, feeling both soft-hearted and a bit distressed.

Last night, Sophia seemed like she really wanted to speak…

Thinking of this, Olivia’s heart softened further. She looked gently at Sophia beside her and asked, “Sophia, do you want to eat steamed dumplings?”

Sophia nodded.

Olivia picked up a delicate steamed dumpling but didn’t immediately place it on Sophia’s plate. Instead, she said, “If you want to eat, you need to tell me.”

Hearing this, Sophia blinked her eyes, looking a bit troubled.

Olivia’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling a bit disappointed. “If you don’t speak, sometimes I can’t understand what you mean and I worry that I’m not taking good care of you. So, can you try to get used to speaking slowly? I’ll be with you, and we’ll take it one step at a time.”

Upon hearing this, Sebastian and Ethan put down their chopsticks and chimed in, “We’ll be with you too! We also want to hear Sophia speak!”

Three expectant gazes fell on her. Sophia looked at each of them in turn, then clenched her small fists and managed to utter a single syllable, “Mm!”

The soft voice echoed in their ears, causing Olivia and the two little boys’ eyes to light up with surprise and delight.

Olivia had only been trying her luck but hadn’t expected the little one to actually speak!

Though she wanted to hear more, she knew not to rush things. She gently patted the little one’s head and placed the steamed dumpling on her plate.

Sophia was also happy about speaking. Her smile didn’t fade even when Olivia took them to kindergarten.

“Sophia is in such a good mood today!” Miss Lee said as she received the three little ones and saw Sophia’s adorable smile.

Sophia smiled and nodded.

Ethan chimed in from the side, “Because we’re going to help Sophia learn to speak!”

Miss Lee thought the little ones were just playing around. She had been with Sophia for so long and had never heard her speak.

However, Sebastian and Ethan were very serious. They even whispered during class, discussing how to get Sophia to speak.

During recess, Sophia went to play with the two boys as usual.

But Sebastian changed his attitude, frowning at her. “Do you need something from us?”

Sophia tilted her head in confusion and looked at Ethan.

She just wanted to play with the boys! Hadn’t they always played together?

Ethan also uncharacteristically put on a stern face. “If you have something to say, say it quickly. My brother and I have things to do!”

Seeing the two boys being so cold towards her, Sophia remembered how they had ignored her when they first arrived. Thinking about how much fun they’d had recently, she felt panicked and grabbed a pen and paper from Ethan’s desk to write something.

But Sebastian quickly took the pen away. “You need to talk to us; otherwise, we won’t know what you mean.”

Sophia clutched the edge of the desk in frustration.

“Didn’t you promise Mommy this morning? To slowly learn to speak?” Ethan softened as he looked at Sophia. “If you can’t talk, just call us ‘brother.’ We’ve always called you Sophia, but we’ve never heard you call us brother.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Sophia opened her mouth but couldn’t get the words out. She was so anxious she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Sebastian and Ethan didn’t dare push her further and handed her the pen.

However, in the following days, whether at home or in kindergarten, the two boys remained somewhat cold towards Sophia.

Every time Sophia approached them, Ethan would put on an angry face. “We treat you so well, but you won’t even call us brother! We won’t talk to you anymore!”

Sophia was heartbroken.
