Olivia frowned. She was still worried about Zack.
Although Jack was with him, they had left in a rush. Not to mention, it had been raining. Were they okay?
But Olivia knew that worrying didn't help. As things were, she couldn't contact Jack in the foreseeable future even if
she went back to Arlandia.
"Alright. I'll wait for a little longer then." She agreed.
Alicia was with her, so Jack would definitely reach out to her. But the most important thing she needed to do now
was to nurse herself back to health.
Alicia was a very well-behaved child. She never complained and wasn't a picky eater. She had no bad habits that
were typically seen in children her age.
Olivia was happy every day she was with Alicia, but she also felt sad for her. The reason why a child would be so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwell-behaved was because she had been through a lot of hardships.
Why else would a child be so obedient?
Children who have been through a lot are usually the obedient ones.
Olivia wasn't blaming Jack. She was very grateful that Jack saved her children and raised them by himself.
She just felt bad for the children because of what they had been through. They were separated from their parents
at such a young age.
She swore to try her best and take care of them in the future.
"Mom." Alicia noticed that Olivia had spaced out, so she waved her hand at her.
Olivia snapped back to her senses and said, "Yeah. I'm here."
She reached out and patted Alicia on the head. With a loving smile, she asked, "Are you hungry?"
Alicia observed Olivia's expression first, as if she was checking if Olivia was hungry too. She didn't want to cause
trouble for Olivia.
"Baby, if you want to eat, just let me know. You don't have to concern yourself with anything else. Tell me if you're
hungry, thirsty, cold, or hot. You're not alone anymore. You have me."
Alicia blinked like she didn't understand what Olivia was saying.
"What I'm saying is, you can cry if you want to, and make a fuss if you want to. That's what children are supposed
to do. I'm your mother. I'll love you no matter what. You can tell me if you want anything."
"Okay."
Olivia said gently, "You can tell me what you want to eat."
"Sandwich, cake, and apple pie."
This was the first time Alicia had ever asked her for anything. Olivia was pleasantly surprised.
She reached out and tapped Alicia on the nose. "Good girl, I'll make them for you, okay?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Thanks, Mom!" Alicia finally displayed the innocence and liveliness a child her age should have.
"Go play with Uncle Logan for a bit. I'll go make the food for you."
"Okay."
Alicia had gotten close with Logan after a few days. She also didn't know why she liked him so much.
"Uncle Logan." Alicia smiled as she quickly ran toward Logan.
Ethan promptly crouched and spread his arms to catch Alicia in his embrace.
"Slow down. You might trip," Logan said lovingly.
"Okay."
Olivia made the food and placed them on a table that was outside.
She saw Alicia riding on Ethan's shoulder and shouting delightfully, "Go faster, horsey!"
Ethan held her hands firmly and allowed her to have her fun.
The sea was blue, and the wind was blowing gently. It was a truly beautiful sight. It made Olivia a little emotional.
She could've given the children a complete family if she hadn't gone through all those incidents with Ethan.
But what was done couldn't be undone. The children were destined to be without a father.
