That Night My Boss Left Me With Our Three Babies

Olivia tried to calm herself down, meeting Victor’s gaze with a composed demeanor. She spoke softly, “Victor, the way you are now only makes you seem more unfamiliar to me.”

In her memory, Victor had always been calm and composed, even somewhat indifferent.

At least, that was how he was six years ago.

The current Victor was unpredictable to her.

Perhaps her words had an effect, as Olivia felt the grip on her chin gradually loosen.

She almost held her breath.

Moments later, the man furrowed his brows, withdrew his hand, and stepped back, looking at her with a complex expression. “What exactly do you want?”

Olivia hadn’t even had time to catch her breath when she heard this question, feeling inexplicably puzzled.

This was a question she should be asking him.

Her stance was already clear. What did Victor want?

“It’s one thing for you to avoid me, but even Sophia is missing. Olivia, are you really this heartless?” Victor looked at her with dark eyes.

Olivia’s heart sank slightly. She closed her eyes briefly, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, and said calmly, “Let’s not discuss this matter anymore, it’s pointless. Since I made Mr. Leer so unhappy in the car, I think I should get off.”

With that, she raised her hand to knock on the partition, signaling Nathan to stop the car.

Just as she extended her hand, the man grabbed her wrist forcefully.

Olivia struggled to break free. “If Mr. Leer really wants to talk, we can set a time and place to talk slowly. This space makes me very uncomfortable!”

In the confined space of the car, she always felt that no matter what Victor did to her, she would be powerless to resist.

Thinking of this, Olivia’s eyes showed a hint of fear as she looked at him.

Noticing her fear, Victor narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly released her wrist, gritting his teeth as he asked, “Are you afraid of me? What is there to be afraid of? What have I done to hurt you?”

He had thought Olivia’s distance was enough to anger him.

But seeing Olivia’s fear of him now felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, sending a chill through his heart.

He had never intended to make Olivia afraid of him.

However, Olivia’s face grew colder due to his persistent entanglement. “Mr. Leer, don’t you find yourself ridiculous? Haven’t you always wanted to marry Miss Thornton? Now that your wedding is about to happen, Mr. Leer should consider Miss Thornton’s feelings and keep a distance from other women, especially me, your ex-wife.”

Victor frowned slightly, not expecting Olivia to bring up their relationship from six years ago.

Olivia thought that since things had come this far, she might as well speak openly. After all, she would soon go abroad and have little contact with this man.

Victor coldly retorted, “Do you think I’m making things difficult for you?”

Olivia pulled her lips into a self-mocking smile. “Or perhaps Mr. Leer can understand that I don’t want to repeat the mistakes of six years ago. No one wants to fall into the same pit twice.”

Her implication was clear: even if Victor had feelings for her, she would not accept them.

The events of six years ago had hurt her deeply enough, she didn’t want a repeat.

Victor thought back to the conversation between Olivia and Lily at the cafe that day, and his heart sank deeply.
