The more she thought about it, the more certain Alice became about Violet. He had directly thrown her aside on the street, even though he had tolerated Violet so many times. Though there were not many people on the street, it was still very demeaning.Who else would he be doing this for if it was not for her? Was it for Everly? Impossible! After all, Violet had offended Everly, and Carson had not reacted in any way before. Therefore, he did it for her! That was the only way this could make sense!“Yes! That’s it!” Alice immediately jumped up. She looked at her mother and urged, “Mom, hurry and bring me some clothes. I am going to shower and put on some makeup to see Carson!”"Lissy, don’t rush!” Aunt Davidson grabbed onto Alice’s hand and said, “You’ve already neglected him for a night, so going over directly isn’t right, or you would look eager. Besides, you have been out all night. You are in bad shape right now, so going over would only give him a bad impression. You might as wel

It was a flat-out threat!She cried even harder, and he simply had no idea how to comfort someone.She sobbed pathetically, and he tried to comfort her. Perhaps he realized that he had no talent in comforting others and began to read her stories.He held onto her hand tightly and looked at her the entire time as he read one story after another.She felt safe, even though she did not like listening to stories.In the end, he looked at her and said, “Sleep well. You will be better when you wake up. I will stay right here.”His eyes had only her. The curtains by the large window fluttered as the moonlight, making everything seem peaceful.…Back in Orchid Garden, Everly opened her eyes abruptly. Her face was drenched in sweat as she opened her mouth to catch her breath. She saw the pale ceiling before her, and everything around her looked different from the Baxter’s.She closed her eyes, and two streams of tears scrolled down her cheeks.“Everly, you are awake!” Annie’s voice ca

Since the two were standing close by and Everly had not intended to hide it, Annie saw the message as well.It was for Everly’s personal account, not the studio’s business account. The money was meant for her personal use from Carson.“What does he mean by this?” Annie was furious. “Ten million? That’s all he is doing to dismiss you? Oh my goodness, doesn’t he know? Any of your work could be sold at an auction with a much higher price than that! Who does he think you are? This is an insult!”Just as Annie was still feeling frustrated for Everly, Everly simply stared at the message.“I’m going to see what’s in this box!” Annie opened the blue gift box saw a set of sapphire jewelry.Everly spotted the jewelry as well. Carson’s message was clear as day. The money was meant as compensation, while the set of sapphire jewelry was for her to pretend as though nothing happened and play her role just like she did before.“This is too much!” Annie said sarcastically, “Sapphire, too? If he’

Everyone around them was whispering towards one another, but Everly paid them no mind. She simply focused on Oliver’s adorable face with a smile. Her heart leaped with excitement.Three seconds had passed, and the two continued to stare at one another.Out of smugness, the teacher next to them barked, "Didn't you hear what I just said? I’m calling the security if you refuse to leave! You…"Before she could finish, Oliver suddenly spoke up. "I remember you." His big, dark eyes were filled with Everly. He placed his belongings back into the school bag before taking the bear brooch off his chest and continued, "You gave me this."Everly looked at the bear brooch on Oliver’s chubby little hands and the smile on her face widened."Do you like it?" she asked and reached out subconsciously to touch Oliver’s face."Don’t…" Someone next to them instantly tried to stop her."I like it," Oliver answered in the next instant and did not dodge her hand.Everly felt the urge to cry, and her t

"If you like it, you can have it." Oliver placed the drawing in his hands onto hers."Can I?" she asked with a voice filled with a pleasant surprise."Mm-hm," Oliver said, the sense of familiarity showed distinctly from his voice. "I didn’t prepare any gift, so I hope you like this. Also… Merry Christmas.""Thank you!" She rubbed Oliver’s head endearingly. He did not move away and accepted her touch."Oliver, this is the best Christmas gift I’ve received so far!"Carson pursed his lips and strode closer to the two as they interacted closely.'Could it be her? Everly!' he thought."Everly…" He arrived by their side with a barely noticeable trembling voice."Dad," Oliver turned around and greeted.However, Carson’s gaze was fixated on the woman beside him. He reached out, trying to touch her, when the woman turned around and showed her face.Within an instant, all the excitement and uncontrollable emotions had vanished immediately. The drastic changes had overwhelmed him, and h
