Everly was not happy about it, but there was nothing she could do when she did not hold Oliver's custody."Come, Oliver," Carson said.Oliver glanced at Everly and looked over at Carson before jumping off of Everly and said, "Aunt Violet, I'm going to eat with my dad."Everly forced a smile and nodded at Oliver. "Mm-hm, go on then."Oliver nodded before reaching for Everly's hand as though he thought of something. "Aunt Violet, why don't you come with us?"He looked to the side at Carson and asked, "What do you say, Dad?"Carson's eyes had never left Everly, and he nodded at the question. "Let's."Everly wanted to say no, but all words were taken from her when Oliver lifted his chin to look at her with googly eyes filled with anticipation. She smiled gently and patted Oliver on the head. "Alright.""Yay!" Oliver led Everly towards Carson while holding her hand before reaching for Carson's hand with his free hand and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Violet. Look at my dad. He's tall and
Suddenly, Robbie felt someone's eyes on him, and when he looked up, he saw Carson giving him a look of warning. He immediately cleared his throat and in a forced serious tone, said, "I will inform the restaurant to have everything arranged."Alice's jaw dropped."What do you mean by adding an extra seat?" Alice looked at Carson and turned to look at Oliver and Violet.Oliver was still talking to Violet at the moment with a big smile on his face. Oliver had always been a withdrawn person, and Alice had never seen him acting so happy before.Oliver was angry when he stepped into Violet's studio and came out smiling alongside Carson."What on earth happened inside Violet's studio? Did Violet bewitch them with a spell or something?""Carson! What's going on? You guys…don't tell me you are all going for dinner together!" Alice couldn't help but question.Everly gazed up and glanced at Alice without a word.Noticing who Everly was looking at, Oliver was reminded of all the bad things
Everly could not react at the moment, and Carson simply looked at her without saying anything.Oliver hid at the corner with his hands over his mouth. His large eyes turned to look between Carson and Everly.Ding!The ring came out of the blue from the elevator and interrupted the silence.Everly came to and looked away. "Ahem…" She cleared her throat awkwardly and hurried outside.Carson looked at Oliver, who was still covering his own mouth; their eyes met and they followed Everly outside.It was a good thing that they were the only three in the parking lot, or someone would see the following scene. Violet was walking ahead pridefully with her heels, and about two to three steps behind her, the almighty president of Baxter Group, Carson Baxter, followed, and Mister Baxter Jr., who was known to be distant and cold, was also running behind while covering his own mouth. It was as though the father and son were thieves on their way to steal something.Screech!The Benz stopped on
Everly appeared to be staring out the window but was actually listening to what they said."From now on, if you take Aunt Violet and me out for dinner, I don't want Aunt Violet to feel uncomfortable because of how small this car is," Oliver explained innocently.Everly's heart skipped a beat, and blush began to creep up her cheeks once again. What surprised her more was that Carson agreed as though Oliver made perfect sense and responded with, "Okay.""Dad, you are now a single old man with a son. You need to maintain your image. Otherwise, when my mom comes back, she won't marry you. What happens if she goes find someone else?" Oliver added and sighed a long breath, "Then I'm going to become a poor kid without a mother.""What do you think I should do, then?" Carson asked in a tone as though he was discussing a normal matter."I don't know, but…" Oliver grabbed onto Everly's arm and rocked her back and forth, "Aunt Violet, help me.""Huh?" Everly had not expected to be involved
They finally arrived at the restaurant.Everly had 'woken up' as the car stopped."Aunt Violet, are you okay?" Oliver, who was sitting next to her, asked."I'm fine, Oliver. Thank you for your concern." Everly smiled and touched his head. They both then got out of the car together.Everly still did not look at Carson, she asked Robbie for the location of the restaurant and walked into the premises while holding Oliver's hand.Carson stood and watched their backs as they walked forward. The corner of his mouth raised slightly."Mister Baxter." Robbie came over and said respectfully, "Everything has been prepared according to your instructions. It's just that Oliver had not managed to find out what Miss Pettis would have liked. And now…"He did not finish his sentence, but Carson understood him clearly."I'll figure it out." Carson said, his eyes still locked on Everly, "You wait here.""Understood!"Robbie knew he was supposed to stand guard to prevent any disturbance and not
It was January, and it was very cold in Cannesville. However, the chilly temperature did not seem to bother Everly as she took off her coat and entered the room. She was wearing a long purple fringed dress. Her complexion looked whiter than snow as the dim lights shone on her skin.Carson stood not too far behind Everly. Just looking at her like this made his eyes slightly wet.Purple hyacinth, apologize, regret, mint, looking forward to falling in love with you again.These were the words he had always wanted to say to Everly.She used to always be behind Carson, always chasing after his footsteps, craving for his attention.This time, the table has turned.It did not matter if Everly had changed, Carson still loved her, and he wanted no one else but her."Everly," Carson called her name softly.Her skirt fluttered as she turned around abruptly, looking as beautiful as before.Everly did not move, stunned as she saw Carson staring at her like that. She quickly turned away, av
Everly was talking to Oliver throughout the entire meal, ignoring Carson on the side.She did not even look at him.Oliver had noticed this. He tried to help, but there was nothing much he could do.After all, Everly was angry when he saw her just now. It's best for Oliver not to do anything rash. Otherwise, she would even dislike him as well.That would be trouble.Oliver secretly glanced at Carson, giving him a look.Oliver and Everly were very happy during the dinner, and only Carson was silent at the side.In the end, Annie arrived with a car and sent Everly back to Orchid Garden, leaving Carson and Oliver in the restaurant. Carson watched silently as she left, his eyes looking deserted.Squeak squeak…The sound of the cart's wheels was heard as Robbie pushed out a beautifully decorated dining cart. There was a bouquet of flowers and a gift box on it."Mister Baxter..." Robbie gave Carson a worried look.Carson did not answer. He just stared at the items on the cart abse
"Miss Davidson, these are all news to me. Someone had just sent these photos to my email. I… I don't know what's going on," she said. "What photo? Why didn't I receive it?" Alice was on the verge of going insane."I've already sent it to your email, Miss Davidson. Take a look." Tracey's voice was shaking as she spoke.Alice threw her phone aside. She turned on her computer with trembling hands, entered her mailbox, and opened the email that Tracey had just sent.Between the mouse clicks, she saw those photos and videos.One was footage of Robbie handing a box to Violet. The next one showed Violet opening the box in front of him, and inside it was a beautiful blue dress. Robbie was shown bowing respectfully to Violet moments later."What… this outfit..." Alice's pupils widened. This was the dress Violet wore for the banquet! She had even laughed at her, saying that her outfit was an imitation of Everly!"No, it's impossible... This must be edited! How could Carson do this! He ob
