"Really?" Everly said as she kept her phone away. She remembered spending time with Oliver the day before and could not help but to smile a little as she thought of his cute looks."Yes. They will definitely come to see you after their meal. You're going to meet Oliver again, Everly! Shall I go prepare some snacks for him?" Annie said happily,"Yeah! I'll go with you!" Everly said. She grabbed her bag and went out with Annie.…During the afternoon, Oliver got out of his car with a school bag.He wore the clothes that Everly had bought for him yesterday.He adjusted his outfit a little and walked towards the entrance of Baxter Group.Lucy and a few people around who were there to pick him up could not help but squeal as they saw him. He was so cute!Carson was usually cold and dignified, and now suddenly, there was a mini version of him who was adorable and dinky. Oliver may still have his father's cold attitude in him, but he was still a kid after all. His outlooks now just ma
Oliver clung onto Carson as they walked out of the Baxter Group building.They arrived at the Cannesville Fried Chicken restaurant across the road.The two of them instantly caught the public's attention. Carson Baxter, a man of such high status, actually went to CFC! What a surprising moment! Nobody dared approach them, but they kept peeking from afar.Oliver held Carson's hand as they queued up for their order.The people who were in front of the line were obviously excited by his presence. "Mister Baxter, after you!" they said to him while smiling.Carson glanced back at the man and said, "That's okay."Oliver also nodded. "You don't have to worry about us. We can line up just like the rest of you. I was just here yesterday, and I was in line as well! I'm a civilized person," he said.That was how Everly praised him yesterday.Everyone at the front looked at Carson. No one dared to mess around.After all, most of the people here worked nearby, so they basically already knew
"It was nothing much, actually. She just asked me if I was doing well and what I liked. She asked me about the usual daily stuff. Oh, she also taught me how to eat these,” Oliver said as he dipped his fries in the ketchup, there was even some sauce smeared on his face."And this too! I like it!" Oliver grabbed the cup of soda from the side of the table and took a sip. The next moment…"Hiccup—"Oliver giggled. It was just like yesterday.Carson looked at the fries in his hand and tasted them.It was not something he would normally eat. Carson had fries before, but this time, it tasted different from what he imagined.It was delicious.Buzz… Buzz…Carson’s cell phone rang a few times, but he just ignored it. He continued eating while wiping away the ketchup on Oliver’s face.The news of them having lunch together at CFC spread instantly.Some oblivious people had taken pictures of them and uploaded them onto the Internet. They even have animations in them!Although it was not
"What… What's going on?" Alice muttered. She quickly opened those push messages, and the next thing she saw drove her crazy.Carson and Oliver are having lunch at Cannesville Fried Chicken?!'Impossible! Didn't Carson care about Oliver's health? Why did he bring him out for such an unhealthy meal! What is going on here!'Oliver was Everly's child, for heaven's sake!"What in the world…" Alice muttered in panic as she walked around her office in circles.Before she went out in the morning, she had applied a lot of makeup to cover up her bruises and scars. Right now, they're all slowly revealed themselves again as she started to sweat profusely."Don't worry, Miss Davidson. It's probably because Violet had just brought Oliver for fast food yesterday. Oliver is just a child after all, of course, he would enjoy eating this sort of stuff, and that's why he wanted to go back there again. In fact, didn't you just send Mister Baxter some photos just now? And now you're getting the news o
"I haven't even gotten to the bottom of this yet. There's nothing I can do. Give me some time to investigate," Lisa said impatiently."Lisa Whites! You-""Shouting at me won't help. I told you, I need to find out what happened. Do you understand?" Lisa rubbed her temple and said, "That will be all. Bye."With that, she ignored Alice's frustration and ended the call directly."Violet…" Lisa stared at the news about Carson and Oliver on the internet and murmured, "What secrets are you hiding?"In the end, she picked up her phone to find a number before making a call.Meanwhile, in Baxter Group, Alice was losing her mind."How dare she hang up on me? Ah!" Alice was absolutely livid and threw her phone to the side, causing it to break."Don't get angry, Miss Davidson. She made sense. We can't act recklessly, Miss-" Tracey wanted to calm her down, but Alice was no longer listening and trotted over to Violet's studio in her heels.…In Violet's studio.Baam, baam, baam!Alice ban
Everyone in Violet's studio went out to rest and have their meals while Everly took the desserts she bought from the restaurant off Annie's hand."I wonder if Oliver would like this," she smilingly said as she stared at the adorable looking desserts."Let me see!" Suddenly, a sweet voice came from not far away.Everly immediately turned her head and saw a chubby little face next to her hand. It was Oliver's chubby little face.Everly's heart was instantly struck by how adorable he was. When he reached for the desserts, her heart melted in response.She squatted down to look Oliver in the eyes as he tasted the desserts and saw him smiling with both his eyes closed."Delicious! I like these!" Oliver said."I'm glad you like them," Everly said as she patted Oliver on the head."I like everything Aunt Violet buys me!" He said as he reached for another piece but remembered something just as he was about to eat it. He turned around and took a few steps away before handing the dessert
"Okay!" Oliver beamed, his eyes as clear and pure as crystal.However, his eyes shone with concern and sadness as he took Everly's hand and started walking inside.When would his parents make up? Could it be that they need to fight to make peace, just like Lily said? How could he make that happen?Along the way, both Everly and Oliver had their own plans and arrived at the office. Annie closed the door for them with a smile, and soon, they were the only two in the room.Everly noticed that Oliver was deep within his own thoughts and decided not to disturb him. Instead, she simply poured him a glass of warm water to drink.Oliver was an obedient child and finished the glass of water swiftly like a small kitten. Amused, Everly started chuckling.Oliver did not realize it until Everly wiped his hands with a wet tissue. He stared at Everly as she giggled and started giggling himself as well."Why are you smiling, Oliver? You look so happy," Everly asked cheerfully as she pinched Oli
Everly had not said anything. Her eyes turned red at the thought that Oliver might be wary of telling her because he still could not trust her.Noticing her discomfort, Oliver held her hand with both his hands and said, "Aunt Violet, I mean it. My dad misses my mom. He told me that Mom is sick and is getting treated, so she couldn't come back to see me, but… I knew."Sorrow crept up his face as he continued, "I knew that my mom's grave is at the Westside Cemetery. I feel sad, and the others are worried that I will be sad, so they lied to me, saying that my mom is only away to treat her illness."He kept holding Everly's hand and deadpanned, "So I pretend like I didn't know anything. I told myself that Mom would come back someday and that I should just think of her as being away to treat her illness. That way, it works out for all of us."Everly felt as though her heart had been torn into pieces. She had never imagined for Oliver to know everything. Though she was not truly dead, Ol
