“Mommy…
As soon as Olivia heard North, she was elated beyond words and finally felt at ease. Earlier on, she was sure that it was his work after hearing the phone ring endlessly. She deduced that he must have refused to answer her call because he saw the news and was unhappy about it. However, he was willing to take her call, which indicated that things were not as bad as she expected.
She probed him gingerly. “North, why did it take you so long to answer my call?” He responded, “I was watching TV with Grandma.” “What are you guys watching?”
“Palace Wars.” At that point, Olivia was significantly speechless. The brat was annoyed and did not want to talk to her. “And you were watching?”
“Yep.” He gave another cold reply. The slight bit of hope she harbored dissipated upon noticing his cold response. The little brat definitely saw the news.
Ultimately, she decided not to beat around the bush and straight up asked, “North, did you see my news on the Internet?”
He replied, “No.” Out of sight, out of mind. She mentioned, “Today, there was an accident on set, and I was injured.” As her words fell, North maintained his silence for a moment before asking, “How’s your injury?”
Olivia instantly put on a pitiful act and said, “I’ve got a slight gash and it hurts. I need a kiss from my darling boy, then my pain will disappear!”
In response, he said, “Mommy, I’m not three. Do you think such words would work on me?” She laughed. “Can I ask you something, then? Were you the one who deleted the posts on the Internet?”
He replied haughtily, “No.” Resigned, Olivia purposely stated, “Then, I must find out the identity of the person who deleted. them so that I can thank them.”
“Aren’t you angry?” “Why would I be? They’ve done a huge favor for me. Those reporters exaggerated as usual. It was just a prop that fell suddenly, and there was a child next to me, so I reached out to deflect the item.
I didn’t end up avoiding it, so I was cut by the edge of the prop and sustained a tiny slit. I’m not as courageous as the news described me to be, though. The piece of news also portrayed me as one who’s besotted by someone else’s child and another man. It’s a defamatory piece of news, so why would I want it to remain?”
On the other end, North’s expression finally softened upon hearing her explanation and his. voice was no longer as cold as before. “I deleted them because I didn’t want Daddy or Grandma to see them.”
At that moment, Olivia intentionally exaggerated. “It was you, huh? I knew that it must have been my darling boy who did that. No one else would be that skillful to be able to delete the news as soon as it was published. Thanks, baby.”
“Mommy, you must stay safe. Don’t let yourself get hurt again while saving others.” ‘I get it. Thanks for your concern, baby.”
She finally managed to appease the little one. and continued the conversation for a moment before hanging up the phone. As soon as she turned around, she noticed Jewel standing not too far from her.
“Are you seriously going there?” asked Jewel. “Yes. I need to go over and see with my own eyes. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”
“I’ll come with you.” Olivia stopped her. “You shouldn’t. You have a special family background, and it would be troublesome if we encountered a member of the Double Dragon Court. I’ll be fine by myself.”
However, Jewel replied domineeringly, “No way! It’d be dangerous there, so I can’t possibly let you go alone!”
Suddenly, a male voice interrupted their conversation. “I’ll go with you.” As soon as Olivia and Jewel heard that, they were startled.
They glanced in the direction of the voice and found Avery, who was dressed casually as he leaned against the pillar. He appeared to be quite carefree as he maintained his signature. wicked smile.
