Victor’s work came to an abrupt halt as his private phone rang, jolting him out of his concentration. Recognizing the urgency in the butler’s voice, he eximed, “I’m going back immediately!”


    With a swift motion, he ended the call and hurriedly made his way back to Leer Manor.


    “What’s going on? With so many people watching, how could she disappear?” Victor questioned with a stern voice upon reaching the vi.


    The servants stood timidly in the living room, too afraid to raise their heads under his intimidating presence.


    The butler cautiously exined the situation, his voice filled with worry. “We’re not sure… Miss Sophia had breakfast this morning and then went back to her room. Charlotte went to find her but discovered that she was gone.”


    Victor furrowed his brow, his concern growing. “What about the surveince?”


    The butler wore a mournful expression as he replied, “Mr. Leer, the surveince… it was turned off at some point, and unfortunately, there is no footage from this morning.”


    Victor’s face immediately darkened upon hearing this unsettling news.


    Silence filled the living room.


    The people present trembled with fear, wishing they could disappear into the ground.


    Who could have imagined that in such a short amount of time, Miss Sophia would vanish twice right under their noses!


    If something happened to Miss Sophia, this group of people would likely lose their jobs…


    As Victor raised his eyes, he noticed the several bodyguards he had assigned to watch over Sophia standing among the crowd. His anger surged within him, and heshed out, his voice filled with fury, “What are you all still standing around for? Why haven’t you gone to search yet? If you can’t find her, none of you will have a job!”


    As soon as his words fell, the individuals hastily responded, not daring to lift their heads, and quickly left the vi.


    …


    Olivia looked somewhat troubled as she gazed at the little girl in front of her.


    It was alreadyte, and she was supposed to be at the research institute with her two children. However, the appearance of this little girl disrupted her ns.


    Moreover, the girl hade by taxi, so Olivia couldn’t possibly let her go back alone.


    After a moment, Olivia sighed inwardly and stood up, making way for the girl to enter. “Come in.”


    Sophia’s eyes brightened, and she nodded eagerly, following behind Olivia into the vi.


    “Did you have breakfast?” Olivia asked with concern.


    Sophia sat upright on the sofa and obediently nodded in response.


    Olivia sat down with the two little ones by her side, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, “Can you tell me if you really came to y with my sons? Or, likest time, did you run away from home? Do your family members know that you came to my ce?”


    Sophia tilted her head and wrote on a small notebook.


    Sebastian and Ethan, with serious expressions on their little faces, said, “You dared to take a taxi alone. If you encounter bad people, you could have been abducted! Didn’t the teacher teach us in ss? Children should not go out alone!”


    After they finished speaking, Sophia also finished writing and held up the notebook for them to see.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    “I want to see you. I want to see Sebastian and Ethan.”


    Olivia frowned, “Are you… running away from home because of us?”


    Sophia vigorously nodded, her actions confirming Olivia’s suspicions. She continued writing in the notebook, expressing her feelings. “I like.”


    Olivia was somewhat puzzled.


    Like? What does she like?


    “Do you like us?” Sebastian guessed.


    Sophia nodded again.


    Seeing this, Olivia’s heart softened even more.


    This little girl was so adorable. Honestly, she really liked this child.


    Although she knew that this child was Victor’s with another woman, after getting to know this little girl, she couldn’t bring herself to dislike this well-behaved child.


    However, what the little girl did was still too dangerous.


    “Thank you for liking us, but it’s not right for a child to run away from home. Your daddy will definitely be worried. Shall I help you tell your daddy?” After much thought, Olivia gently sought Sophia’s opinion.


    Although she didn’t want to contact Victor, after all, his child was with her.


    As parents themselves, Olivia knew that Victor must be very anxious right now.


    Sophia lowered her gaze, feeling somewhat reluctant.


    Daddy was a big meanie, but the beautifuldy and the two boys were so nice to her.


    Daddy didn’t let her have any contact with them.


    However, the beautifuldy’s voice was so gentle…


    After a moment of contemtion, Sophia obediently nodded her head, acknowledging Olivia’s offer.
