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
Oliver's face stiffened in frustration but put up with it, seeing that it was Alice who did it. After all, his dad told him that he needed to be grateful for the people who saved him."Oliver." Alice squatted down before Oliver and glanced at Tracey smilingly. Tracey immediately closed the door of the office.Silence had fallen over the entire office, and Alice handed a small gift box to Oliver. "This is my gift to you. See if you like it."Oliver looked at the box and nodded after a long pause. "Okay."He accepted the gift and took out his phone to call Lucy, so that she would come over to take the gift, as like what he usually did with other presents.Alice realized what he wanted to do when he took out his phone and immediately pressed her hand onto his phone with a smile. "There's no rush. I will get Aunt Tracey here to take the gift up later. Aunt Alice wants to tell you something."All Oliver could think of was how much he wanted to see Everly, and he had no intention of l
Oliver immediately jumped off the couch. His father had told Oliver before that he had done something that his mother could never forgive. Could it be because of this woman?Alice was pleased to see how angry Oliver became and added, "Oliver, that woman is just so hateful. She used her partnership with Baxter Group and knew that Carson wouldn't make her leave out of respect for the contract, so she did whatever she could to seduce him. Carson even left her on the street a couple of times before, but she still won't give up. How shameless!"Tracey, too, tried adding oil to the flame and said, "Mister Baxter Jr., you don't know this, but your Aunt Alice has been bullied by that woman over the past few days simply because Aunt Alice told that woman to stop imitating Miss Pettis. Sigh, I wonder what's going on with Mister Baxter. How could he keep her around in the office? Could it be that he really fell for her? Mister Baxter wouldn't actually have that woman be your stepmother, would h
On the other side, Oliver stepped into Violet's studio with a frown and saw Annie walking out just as he was about to knock.Annie beamed at the sight of Oliver and squatted down with a smile. "Are you here looking for Violet, Oliver?"Oliver nodded and stopped Annie before she could call Everly over. "There's no need to call…Aunt Violet yet, I want to look around first."Annie noted. "You want to see how Aunt Violet works, Oliver?""Yeah." He nodded and took out a gift box to pass to Annie. "This is a gift for you, Aunt Annie."Surprise filled Annie's eyes, and she immediately accepted it. "Thank you so much, Oliver!"Oliver's lips curled slightly. It was a gift he had Robbie prepared, but it was because he heard from Robbie that Annie was the one who had stuck by his mother's side to take care of her, so Oliver was grateful towards Annie."You're welcome." Oliver looked at Annie. "Aunt Annie, can you take me to Aunt Violet? I have something for her.""Sure!" Annie said and le
"Aunt Violet, I brought you a gift."After a long while, Everly let Oliver go, and he presented her the gift he had been holding onto. "It's something I've spent a lot of time preparing.""Really?" She accepted the box with a smile and opened it in front of Oliver.The gift box was big, and a small castle built with Lego pieces was hidden inside it."This is Baxter residence, our home." Oliver looked at Everly with anticipation. "Our family of three stays inside the Baxter residence, including Dad, Mom, and me."Everly looked at the castle, and her tears began to fall again.It was, indeed, Baxter residence, however…Everly wiped away her tears and smiled. "Did you design this yourself, Oliver?""Yeah." Oliver nodded. "I had an idea and made a draft. I went to Dad, and he helped me find someone who makes models. I monitor them when they make the pieces, and then I put the pieces together myself."Everly looked at Oliver with a smile despite the lump in her throat. "What about
The two chatted happily inside the office and went to work on the drawing which Everly just framed together; at the same time, Tracey and Alice were confused outside the office."Tracey, say…why are they fighting already?" Alice looked to the side at Tracey in confusion."I don't know, Miss Davidson." Tracey, too, was confused. The two of them were squatting by the door, trying their best to hear what was happening inside Violet's studio, but they could not hear a thing."Logically speaking, Oliver went into Violet's office in rage after hearing what we had said, so they should be fighting by now…" Suddenly, Tracey thought of something, and her eyes widened. "Could it be that Oliver is under her constraints? He is so small, and he went alone!""Right! That must be it!" Alice nodded immediately and took out her phone to call Carson in a hurry. When Carson did not pick up, she immediately turned to call Robbie instead, and Robbie picked up."Robbie?" Not daring to tell him what she
Everly was not happy about it, but there was nothing she could do when she did not hold Oliver's custody."Come, Oliver," Carson said.Oliver glanced at Everly and looked over at Carson before jumping off of Everly and said, "Aunt Violet, I'm going to eat with my dad."Everly forced a smile and nodded at Oliver. "Mm-hm, go on then."Oliver nodded before reaching for Everly's hand as though he thought of something. "Aunt Violet, why don't you come with us?"He looked to the side at Carson and asked, "What do you say, Dad?"Carson's eyes had never left Everly, and he nodded at the question. "Let's."Everly wanted to say no, but all words were taken from her when Oliver lifted his chin to look at her with googly eyes filled with anticipation. She smiled gently and patted Oliver on the head. "Alright.""Yay!" Oliver led Everly towards Carson while holding her hand before reaching for Carson's hand with his free hand and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Violet. Look at my dad. He's tall and
