Chapter 55: Some Animosity Towards Him
After the medicine was applied, Sebastian and Ethan came downstairs with gifts they had carefully chosen for Sophia.
Each of them held a peculiar-looking doll as they approached Sophia. “We bought these with our own pocket money and we’re giving them to you,” they said.
The dolls possessed an adorably ugly charm that didn’t quite align with Sophia’s usual style.
Nonetheless, this was the first time Sophia had received a gift from kids her age, especially from her beloved friends.
Without hesitation, she accepted the dolls with a happy expression on her face. She held them tightly, exerting more force than when she held her previous doll.
Eventually, after showering the dolls with affection, Sophia set them down and inscribed a heartfelt “thank you” on a notebook. With a soft and adorable smile, she presented the notebook to Sebastian and Ethan, holding it up for them to see.
Sebastian and Ethan had never witnessed such a radiant smile on Sophia’s face before.
Although they had previously resented her because she was their father’s child with another woman, seeing Sophia look so cute and happy melted their hearts. They exchanged a glance and sheepishly scratched their heads.
They shouldn’t dislike her anymore…
Meanwhile, Olivia watched the three children interact and felt a warmth in her heart. She patted Sophia’s head and said to her two little ones, “You guys play with Sophia for a while. Mommy will make a phone call to the research institute and let them know I’ll be late today. Be careful with Sophia’s hand; she just had her medicine.”
The two boys obediently nodded.
Observing this, Olivia got up and went upstairs to make the phone call.
“How about we play with LEGO?” the two boys suggested. They didn’t know what girls liked to play with, so they invited Sophia to join them in their usual playtime.
Sophia’s eyes sparkled, and she immediately nodded in agreement.
Today, she surely came at the right time. The beautiful lady had personally applied medicine on her hand, and now, the two boys had invited her to play!
Since Sebastian and Ethan had above-average intelligence, Olivia had bought them LEGO sets meant for adults. The completed models were quite large, and they had already built half of one.
“If you’re not sure how to do it, you can watch us first,” Sebastian considerately said.
Sophia nodded and attentively observed them assembling a few pieces before starting on her own.
Sebastian and Ethan couldn’t help but pause and prepare to teach her, but to their surprise, Sophia was already assembling the pieces with skill and precision.
In no time, she caught up to their speed and had a high accuracy rate.
The two boys were momentarily dumbfounded.
When their mommy bought this for them, it was because they were highly intelligent, but now, this little girl was incredibly talented too.
Could it be because they shared the same father?
Just as they were astounded by this revelation, the doorbell of the villa rang.
The two boys exchanged a knowing glance, their thoughts converging on one person.
“I’ll go open the door, you stay and play with Sophia,” Sebastian said as he stood up and walked toward the entrance.
After opening the door, he saw the man who was supposed to be their father, Victor, standing tall in a restrained suit. Sebastian greeted him politely but distantly.
Victor, under the assumption it was Olivia who had opened the door, maintained his indifferent expression.
However, upon realizing it was a child standing before him, his brows furrowed.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this must be Olivia’s child.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
For some inexplicable reason, this little one seemed to harbor some animosity towards him.
“Sophia is inside. Come in,” Sebastian uttered, briefly glancing at Victor before coolly turning around and reentering the house.
