Chapter 10

Author: Fishing Boat
Oliver had worked tirelessly all week to clear his schedule, just so he could spend the entire weekend taking Daisy out to have fun.

While Daisy and I were buying ice cream, we ran into someone completely unexpected—Connor.

He wasn't in a suit like usual—his shoulders slumped, his hair had grown long enough to cover part of his face, and a patchy beard lined his jaw. He looked worn out, like someone who hadn't slept in days.

But the moment he saw me and Daisy, life seemed to return to his eyes. He jogged toward us, voice trembling with relief as he said, "Averie, Daisy… I finally found you two."

However, Daisy didn't light up or run to him like she once would have. Instead, she stepped back and hid behind Oliver.

Connor called out, "Daisy, it's me—Daddy!"

She didn't even peek out. Her voice was sharp and certain as she shouted, "You're not my daddy! Daddy Oliver is my daddy now!"

Connor's face twisted through a whole storm of emotions. And I thought, for the first time, he tru

    Faye rushed toward me to grab my phone. Weighed down by the wedding dress, I couldn't move quickly and was about to be scratched by her sharp nails.A hand shot out and grabbed Faye's arm. It was the first time I'd seen such a frightening expression on Oliver's face as he roughly threw Faye's arm aside, growling, "My wife isn't someone you get to lay a hand on!"Seeing Oliver, Jimmy immediately shrank back and apologized, "Mr. Gardner, what a coincidence! I had no idea you and your fiancée were here. Please forgive us. It's a total misunderstanding!"He pushed down on Faye's head and scolded her, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Gardner!" Faye's eyes were filled with disbelief. Her expression seemed to say, "How is it that even the man Averie randomly found is better than mine?""Averie, I want you dead!" Faye suddenly lunged to attack me, catching Oliver off guard.When I heard the sound of a craft knife cutting through the skin, I felt no pain.

    Ten days later, on the promised delivery date, I didn't release the painting. I delayed it by a day on purpose. That same day, I watched Connor hold a press conference.He publicly apologized and announced that the product launch had to be postponed due to an internal error. He made it clear that Faye, the one who faked her identity, would bear the full responsibility for the financial loss caused by the delay.That afternoon, just as I finished baking cookies with Daisy in the kitchen, my phone started blowing up with notifications—Faye had sent a storm of furious messages."AH, you've never missed a release date before! Why did you delay this time? You did this on purpose, didn't you?" "You made me lose my fiancé and my job! I'll never forgive you!"Well, what could I say? Women's intuition could be terrifyingly accurate. Yes, I did it on purpose.The rest of the messages were from Connor, and he sounded sincere this time. "AH, I made a terrible mistake. I mistook someone els

    "Since this matter is settled, Daisy and I will get the certificate and leave," I said nonchalantly.Connor's agitated expression gradually calmed down. He let out a deep breath and nodded. "That's fine. Averie, you and Daisy go home first, and I'll handle things here."I sneered inwardly. Yes, Daisy and I were indeed going home, but not to wait for him. We were going home to pack and leave.Oliver followed us out and offered, "Let me drive you and Daisy home."In the past, I would've politely declined. I'd always put Connor's feelings first, keeping my distance from any man who wasn't him. This time, I nodded. If Connor had never once taken the time to drive Daisy and me home, why shouldn't I accept a ride from a man who did?"Thank you, Oliver."He looked a little stunned, as if he wasn't sure he heard me right. On the way home, he kept checking in on Daisy, chatting with her, and making her laugh until she was giggling nonstop.When we reached our building, Daisy was reluct

    Someone said, "Don't be ridiculous. Mr. Reeves is known for being fair. He's just doing his job here."Another jabbed, "Fair? Since when does 'doing your job' mean yelling at your own daughter while cuddling someone else's?"The crowd's whispers grew sharper, and Connor's brows furrowed. Meanwhile, Oliver just gave a calm, knowing smile and pulled out a memory card from his pocket. He said, "I'm the organizer for this competition, and I have security footage that proves Daisy didn't plagiarize."As Oliver extended the card, Hazel shrank deeper into Connor's arms, and Faye's expression changed instantly. She tried to smooth things over, turning to Connor. "There's really no need to go that far. I just wanted Daisy to apologize and hand the first-place award over to Hazel. That's all.""In your dreams!" I snapped, stepping up beside Oliver and snatching the card from his hand. Then, I glared at Connor—a warning, sharp and clear. "Daisy didn't copy a thing, and I'll never let her

    Daisy and I would never forgive Connor—ever again.Just as I was still racking my brain on how to prove Daisy didn't plagiarize, a firm male voice suddenly broke the heavy silence. "What plagiarism? I can prove Daisy didn't copy anyone's work!"A casually dressed but tall man approached, and Daisy's eyes lit up. She immediately recognized him. "Mr. Gardner!"It was Oliver Gardner, one of my old high school classmates. Back then, he came from a struggling family and sometimes didn't even have enough for lunch. I had secretly helped him, and once he found out, he promised to repay me someday. We hadn't seen each other since graduation until I ran into him again two years ago. After learning I had a daughter, Oliver often sent Daisy toys and accessories like barrettes. There was barely a trace of Connor in Daisy's room, but Oliver's gifts were everywhere. So, it made sense that she recognized him immediately.Oliver didn't launch into explanations. The first thing he did was ge
