Olivia pouted. “But that’s not something that can be given to others as a gift.” “Didn’t you already achieve that just now?”
“What?” Jewel pointed out. “You protected Terry with your body just now. That’s the perfect example of an expression of your love.” Olivia laughed. “How does that count?”
Jewel replied, “They’re all children who lack love, so they’re very content just from receiving a little bit of love.”
Olivia suddenly recalled what Carter mentioned last time. He mentioned that she was very kind to them, saying that nobody would bother to worry about others when they were in danger.
To be honest, she didn’t feel as if she had done anything special. Nevertheless, they seemed to appreciate her kindness.
The consensus was that children were easy to deceive. Contrary to those beliefs, children had a keen perception of whether a person was truly being kind to them. Otherwise, Carter would not have accepted her and asked her to be their mother.
Otherwise, Terry would not have kept staring at her tonight. Otherwise, Blake would not remember something as insignificant as her smile so clearly. “I’ve figured out what to give them,” Olivia suddenly said out loud. Jewel asked in astonishment, “What?”
Olivia’s reply was extremely mysterious. “You’ll know in a few days.”
Jewel sulked. “How can you keep secrets from me?” Olivia raised an eyebrow at that but smiled without saying a word. It was already 11.00PM by the time the two of them arrived at the hotel where they were staying.
As soon as they walked through the entrance, they saw one adult and one child waiting for them in the lobby. Olivia was slightly surprised. “Why are you here?”
Both Brian and North stood up and walked over to her upon hearing her question. “Where did you go? Why didn’t you turn on your phone?”
Only then did she realize that her phone had been turned off all this time.
In the beginning, it was because she didn’t want to receive any phone calls from a certain person. She later forgot to turn on her phone simply because she had been too busy and shocked by the events that unfolded.
She pulled North into her embrace and made at random excuse. “My phone ran out of batteries. Why were you looking for me?”
He replied, “Daddy was worried because he couldn’t contact you.” Feeling a little speechless, she glanced at Brian. “Did you come here just for that?”
Brian stared at her with a complicated expression. “Excuse me? This is a serious matter! Eugene harassed me all night last night. I couldn’t even get a wink of sleep! He keeps calling me every so often. If I don’t give him an answer by tonight, it’ll be another sleepless night for me!”
She did not understand. “What answer?”
He explained. “He told me to let him know if you return. No, that’s not important. When did you leave for Nambahd? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up before you left? What am I supposed to do if something dangerous. happens to you?”
She reassured him, I’m fine. I went with Jewel He inquired further, “What happened between the two of you? He sounded rather anxious like something huge happened.”
Her expression immediately darkened. Her good mood sank to the bottom of the abyss again when she was reminded of that matter once more.
Be that as it may, she pretended to be unaffected. “It’s nothing. It’s just something he has to do. I can’t be away for long anyway, so I came back first.”
Brian looked at her suspiciously. “Are you sure?” She nodded. “Yeah. Don’t worry, I’ll call him later. You should go home.”
He took a deep breath and said, ‘Olivia, I don’t know what happened between the two of you. But you should know that he loves you very much. It’s because he cares so much that he might overthink things sometimes and become. timid as a result. It’s all because he’s too afraid of losing you. Please forgive him on account of how much he loves you from the bottom of hist heart.”
Olivia forced the corners of her lips into a smile. “I know.”
He took another deep breath. “Alright then. This issue can only be settled by the people involved. You can settle the issue among yourselves when he gets back.” After saying. that, he turned to North and said, “Let’s go, North. We’re going home.”
