Chapter 455: Give Her a Little Patience
Seeing Olivia still able to smile, Victor’s expression grew colder. He couldn’t help but question, “Is Dr. Prescott very close with Mr. Ramos?”
Hearing his voice suddenly, both Olivia and Isaac were taken aback.
Isaac, sensing the tension in the air, silently closed his mouth and tried to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.
Olivia was stunned for a moment, then calmly met the man’s gaze. “I’ve known Senior for a long time. He’s always taken good care of me, and I’m very grateful to him.”
Victor’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Really? Longer than we’ve known each other?”
At his words, Olivia’s heart tightened, and she instinctively glanced at Isaac.
Victor’s words were almost a direct hint to Isaac about the nature of their relationship.
Isaac, however, sat there expressionless, as if he hadn’t heard Victor’s words at all.
Olivia felt a slight sense of relief and frowned at the man beside her. “My relationship with Senior and my relationship with Mr. Leer are not comparable.”
Victor, seeing her still avoiding the topic of their relationship, spoke even more mockingly. “Indeed, Dr. Prescott and I have only met a few times. How can that compare to Mr. Ramos and Dr. Prescott’s years of friendship? I wonder how Sebastian and Ethan feel about Mr. Ramos stepping in as their father?”
The implication was clear: Olivia was considering Harold as a father figure for the two boys.
Olivia’s frown deepened, and her tone carried a hint of anger. “Senior and I are just friends. Please, Mr. Leer, don’t speak nonsense!”
Victor let out a cold, sarcastic laugh and was about to retort when Isaac placed a hand on his arm, interrupting him. “Ahem, it’s about time Liam woke up. Victor, why don’t you come upstairs with me to check on him?”
Without waiting for Victor’s response, Isaac quickly grabbed his arm, signaling him to follow upstairs.
Victor cast an annoyed glance at Olivia before brushing off Isaac’s hand and standing up without a word. He then turned and walked upstairs.
Isaac quickly followed suit, giving Olivia an apologetic smile. “Dr. Prescott, I’m sorry. Victor didn’t mean anything by it. Please don’t take it to heart. We’ll go check on Liam, he’ll be down shortly.”
Seeing Isaac trying to smooth things over, Olivia suppressed her anger and nodded at him.
Isaac gave an awkward smile before turning to follow Victor upstairs.
“Victor, what are you doing? Weren’t we supposed to improve relations with Dr. Prescott today?” Isaac couldn’t help but question once they were upstairs.
Victor remained silent, his face cold.
He didn’t know why he had come over in the first place.
Olivia treated him like a stranger, and the little one had been so upset because of her last night.
He had come today to get an explanation from Olivia for the little one, but hearing Isaac mention Harold made him feel uneasy.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
If Isaac hadn’t interrupted in time, he didn’t know what he might have said.
Isaac looked at his furious brother and sighed helplessly. “Given what happened six years ago, if you want Dr. Prescott to accept you now, you need to give her a little patience.”
