“Mommy, are you feeling down?”


    On the way back, the two little ones looked at her with concern.


    Olivia was slightly taken aback.


    She thought she had hidden her emotions well in front of the kids, but they had still noticed.


    “What’s wrong?” She nced at the two little ones in the rearview mirror and asked nonchntly.


    Sebastian furrowed his brows, his little face full of confusion. “You didn’t pay attention to Sophia just now. Did Mr. Leer upset you again?”


    Hearing the little one suddenly mention Victor, Olivia felt a mix of emotions.


    She wasn’t sure how close she had gotten to Victor recently for the little ones to misunderstand like this.


    Ethan chimed in, “Sophia was almost crying just now.”


    Upon hearing this, Olivia couldn’t help but frown, her heart tightening painfully.


    Although she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she could imagine Sophia’s pitiful expression.


    If possible, she would have liked to say a proper goodbye to Sophia.


    But because of Emma’s words, she felt it was necessary to cut ties with Victorpletely.


    Thinking this, Olivia pretended to be indifferent as she looked at the two little ones in the back and responded evasively, “From now on,e out earlier after school. I’ve been very busy with worktely, so Emily will pick you up.”


    The two little ones didn’t get the answer they wanted and exchanged a puzzled nce but still nodded obediently.


    After returning home, as soon as Olivia and the two little ones entered the door, the doorbell rang again.


    Olivia paused for a moment and turned to open the door.


    Isabelle stood at the vi entrance with an unpleasant expression. She was about to say something but held back when she saw the two little ones inside.


    “What’s wrong?” Olivia stepped aside to let her in.


    Isabelle took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. “We’ll talkter!”


    Olivia didn’t press further and invited her to stay for dinner.


    After dinner, watching the two little ones go upstairs, Isabelle couldn’t hold back any longer. “I saw yesterday’s news. What on earth is Victor thinking!”


    Olivia hadn’t expected her toe for this reason and was momentarily at a loss for words.


    “If he’s already decided to marry Emma, he shouldn’t be bothering you!” Isabelle said, pping the table hard. “I thought he finally came to his senses when he came looking for you before! But then today’s news broke!”


    She had always known about Victor and Emma’s engagement. When their wedding news brokest time, Isabelle didn’t care much.


    Living just a wall away from Olivia, she had seen how often Victor had been visiting recently. Isabelle even made excuses for him in her mindst time, thinking it might not have been Victor’s own decision.


    But yesterday’s news made her furious.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    If Victor was so good to that woman, why bother her best friend!


    What a jerk!


    Olivia was already feeling troubled and hearing this made her heart ache even more. “He’s always… going to marry Emma. Don’t overthink it.”


    Seeing her best friend’s state, Isabelle btedly realized that the person most affected by this news should be Olivia. Comining so much in front of her might make her feel even worse.


    Thinking of this, Isabelle suppressed her displeasure, stood up, and grabbed her best friend’s wrist. “Come on, let’s go drink! We won’t go home until we’re drunk tonight! Let those lousy men go to hell!”
