Oliver's big, dark eyes were filled with Carson's reflection. He observed Carson intently and did not respond."Aunt Emma said you need a bath now. You still have school tomorrow." Carson rubbed Oliver's head and asked, "Do you want me to bathe you?""Mm-hm." Oliver nodded and offered his hand for Carson to hold.Carson lifted an eyebrow and held Oliver's chubby hand before the two headed to the bathroom on the second floor together.Along the way, all the decoration was an exact replica of Baxter residence, with all of Everly's belongings moved to this mansion. The two walked through all of them towards the bathroom, as they had done so many times back in Baxter residence.The entire bathroom was filled with steam, and Oliver sat inside the bathtub filled with warm water with a big pile of foam on his head. His chubby hands were covered in bubbles as well, and he continued to stare at Carson as he scrubbed himself."You've been looking at me ever since I came back." Carson said
"What makes you think so?" Carson asked."Answer Me," Oliver said.Carson studied Oliver for a while before finally nodding and said, "Yes."Oliver beamed, and the dominating demeanor he displayed moments ago instantly faded. He let go of Carson's hands in joy."Does this mean I can go to her from now on?" Oliver played with the bubbles in the bathtub and said, "Why didn't she tell me that she's my mom? Mom… Can I call her that from now on?"Carson did not respond to all the questions Oliver had asked and instead took the showerhead to wash off all the bubbles on Oliver's body before wrapping him in a towel and leading him out towards his bedroom."Oliver Baxter." The bedroom was brightly lit, and when Oliver sat down on the bed, Carson held his shoulders and said, "Your name symbolizes both your mother and me."Oliver looked at Carson knowingly."However, I have wronged your mom, and she won't forgive me." Carson continued, "It's my fault.""What did you do wrong, Dad?" Olive
Everly spotted Alice the moment she stepped out, but she did not want to bother with her and simply went straight for her office."What an eye-opening sight it is for someone like you to still have the audacity for showing up here in Baxter Group!" Alice said before Everly could open the door to her office.Everly's hand paused on the doorknob as she looked at Alice and asked, "Why wouldn't I show up?"Alice had thought that Violet would ignore her, considering how prideful she had acted all the time before, and felt interested in Violet's change of attitude. She took a step back with a smile and said, "Isn't it obvious? Between you and me, our backgrounds and statuses are entirely different. Carson is a smart man; he should know who to choose."Everly studied Alice, her eyes as calm as the surface of a lake on a windless day. "Do you love him?"Alice paused for a brief moment in confusion of what Violet meant to say before her confusion faded in the next moment."Of course." Ali
"Miss!" Tracey heard her and rushed in immediately. When she saw Alice throwing things around inside the office, she hurried over to stop her by wrapping her arms around Alice. "Miss, don't be mad!""Why can I not be mad?" Alice had completely lost control. She pushed Tracey to the side and was about to look for Violet in the heat of the moment. "That b*tch! That b*tch Violet dares to make googly eyes with Carson in front of me!"She felt as though she was about to explode every time she thought back to the interaction between Carson and Violet from the meeting earlier."I'm going to tear that face of hers apart and see if she dares to do it again!" Alice shouted and attempted to storm out.Tracey leaped into action and held onto Alice's legs in tears. "Don't, Miss. Think about this. We don't know what's in Mister Baxter's mind at the moment. If we get into a conflict with Violet right now, Mister Baxter would think of you as a vicious woman! If Mister Baxter is only treating Viole
"Mister Davidson, Mister Davidson you can't go in there! Mister Baxter…" Lucy could not stop Richard in his agitated state and looked at the two inside the office apologetically.Robbie shook his head towards Lucy, and she bowed deeply before leaving, closing the door behind her.Richard was absolutely furious. He had been agitated since he heard his sister crying over the phone. He drove over immediately, and when he heard about what happened from his sister, he became even angrier."Carson, what exactly do you think of my sister? What's so good about that b*tch Violet for you to take her side, getting everyone else to bully my sister?" Richard roared.'What b*tch Violet? That's Miss Pettis he's talking about! Can't you see how dark Mister Baxter's face is growing?!' Robbie panicked and thought.Robbie instantly took it upon himself to settle the conflict. "Mister Davidson, that's not fair. You were the one who called Mister Baxter directly, saying that Miss Davidson would like t
Robbie sighed as he watched Richard leave.Carson had put up with Alice's tantrum so far because he was looking into Violet's background, who they had yet to realize was Everly at the time. Siding with Alice was merely a means to force Violet to show all her tricks up her sleeves, and it was never about favoring Alice. However, those were not things that Robbie could say at the moment. He could only hope that they would not get the wrong idea. After all, Alice had a screw loose in her head and might just imagine things on her own.The corner of Robbie's mouth twitched in response to his thoughts.…Meanwhile, in Alice's office."…Really? Did Carson really say that?" Alice gaped.Richard nodded. "He didn't say it, but Robbie did. Robbie is Carson's right-hand man, so what he says can be trusted. Think about it. What Robbie said makes sense. Alice, you have been out of line lately. How could Carson allow you to destroy such a big project?"Alice lowered her head pathetically. "I j
Just as Oliver was deep in his thoughts, one of the braver girls leaned closer timidly and asked, "Oliver, aren't you drawing?"Oliver looked at her, wondering who she was. He had always been living in his own world and rarely paid attention to people around him. There had been plenty of people who talked to him, but almost every one of them had their own schemes, so he did not bother to respond, but for now…Oliver looked at his phone and glanced at the timid girl thoughtfully before asking, "Do your parents live together?"Everyone next to next looked over. It was the first time Oliver had spoken to someone else; even the teachers started staring at them.The little girl paused, and one of the teachers reminded her, "Lily, Oliver has asked you a question. Why are you not answering?"Lily snapped out of it and nodded with a smile. "Of course, they do, Oliver. Why are you asking?"Oliver frowned and glanced at the people around before saying, "I want to ask you something, let's g
"What are you talking about, Oliver? I had a girlfriend before. We just broke up in the end!" Robbie said with flushed cheeks.Oliver was not paying attention before but lifted his chin in confusion at Robbie's response. He cast Robbie an odd look and asked, "Really?"He doubted it."Of course, it's true!" Robbie instantly replied, "I am good at it. You just don't know about it!"It was a matter of pride, and there was no way that Robbie would tell Oliver that the last time he had a girlfriend was back in school.Oliver looked at Robbie in doubt. In the end, he looked away and nodded. "Okay."He then returned to silence with an expression as though he had seen right through the truth and decided not to say anything about it.Robbie felt embarrassed that he had to lie to a question from a 4-year-old, so he immediately started the car and drove towards Baxter Group.…In the Baxter Group, Oliver was greeted by countless people as soon as he stepped in; the only difference was th
