Chapter 450: Mixed Emotions
After hanging up the phone, Olivia hesitated for a moment but eventually drove towards the kindergarten.
At five in the afternoon, the kindergarten dismissed on time.
The little ones, led by their teachers, came out of the classrooms in an orderly manner, waiting for their respective parents to pick them up.
Sebastian and Ethan stood at the end of the line with Sophia. Seeing Sophia looking expectantly at the crowd, the two boys exchanged glances, their faces filled with concern.
“Sophia, look at me. I can turn into a bird!” Ethan tried hard to attract Sophia’s attention. As he spoke, he manipulated his fingers into the shape of a small bird to show Sophia.
However, Sophia only glanced absentmindedly before turning back to scan the crowd, searching for something.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that her aunt was somewhere watching her, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t find Olivia’s figure.
The two boys weren’t discouraged by her lack of attention and continued to do everything they could to make Sophia happy.
It wasn’t until Victor came to pick up Sophia that she was still looking for Olivia in the crowd.
Seeing her like this, Victor frowned slightly.
He knew what she was looking for, but it was the first time he had seen her so persistent.
“Olivia…” Sophia held Victor’s large hand as he led her to the car, her eyes still searching the crowd.
Hearing Sophia speak suddenly, Victor paused and bent down to look at her face. “Sophia, Olivia is not here.”
Sophia pursed her lips and shook her head seriously. “She is!”
She was sure she felt Olivia watching her!
Victor frowned deeper, a hint of doubt in his eyes as he scanned the crowd.
There was indeed no sign of Olivia.
“Daddy looked. Olivia didn’t come. We need to go home now,” Victor explained patiently to Sophia.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
But Sophia stubbornly refused to get in the car.
Helpless, Victor had no choice but to wait with her by the car.
Meanwhile, Olivia stood in a corner, her heart pounding.
In recent days, Sebastian and Ethan had often mentioned Sophia to her. She couldn’t stop worrying about Sophia, which led her to this desperate measure of hiding in a corner to secretly watch her.
Unexpectedly, it seemed Sophia had sensed her presence and had been searching the crowd for a long time, almost meeting Olivia’s gaze several times. Fortunately, Olivia reacted quickly enough.
Moreover, she had almost been discovered by Victor just now…
Luckily, Emily arrived soon to pick up the two boys.
“Emily is here,” Victor said as he saw her approaching. His eyes darkened slightly as he looked down at Sophia beside him.
Sophia pouted unhappily and glanced around one last time before slowly climbing into the car.
Watching Victor’s car drive away, Olivia breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to her own car.
Emily, with the two boys in tow, intended to hail a cab by the roadside. Unexpectedly, as they reached the curb, Olivia’s car pulled up in front of them.
“Mommy!” The two boys cheered excitedly.
Olivia smiled at them and got out of the car to help them in.
But the boys’ smiles faded as they looked back at where Victor’s car had disappeared.
Mommy had come to pick them up, but unfortunately, Sophia hadn’t seen her.
Seeing their hesitation, Olivia could guess what they were thinking.
She had seen how hard they had tried to make Sophia happy earlier.
For a moment, Olivia felt a mix of emotions in her heart.
