Chapter 440
“Yes, I’m good today. Ask Uncle if you don’t believe me.”
Olivia smiled. “Your uncle dotes on you. When hasn’t he covered for you?”
Lyla stuck out her tongue, buried her face in her arms, and wrapped her little hands around her neck.”
Mommy, will you take a bath with me tonight?”
She was in a bad mood but suddenly felt better after Lyla showed up.
“Alright, play with your toys. Wash your hands for dinner later.”
“Okay.”
After dropping off Lyla, Olivia entered the kitchen and leaned against the door as she drank the orange
juice.
“Why are you at home these days? No classes?”
“Liv, I’m in my senior year and am about to graduate. I don’t have any classes. I’ve even finished my
final year project. I’m just waiting for the presentation.”
Olivia pressed her lips together. “Are you sure you’re not going to graduate school?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFred glanced over his shoulder at her as he cooked and shook his head. “Liv, I’m lucky to be able to
graduate from university. Besides, I want to help you. It’s too hard for you to take care of Lyla alone.”
Olivia’s eyes darkened a little when Fred said that. “It’s alright with me if you want to further your
studies. The atelier’s revenue isn’t that bad either. We can afford it.”
“Liv, you’ve changed my life twice, and that’s enough. I want a job working from home to help you with
Lyla.”
“Lyla’s already in kindergarten. You don’t need to keep an eye on her. You should go out and look for a
job.
Fred served the food. “I want to slack off. Don’t expose me.”
With that said, he asked, “Is Jennie joining us for dinner today?”
Olivia smacked her head. “Oops, I forgot to ask. I’ll call…”
Before she could finish, the door opened. Jennie took off her heels and trotted over to hug Olivia.
“Pheebs, I’m sorry. Did you settle a deal with that guy?”
Olivia’s face darkened at the thought of the man. She pushed Jennie away, saying, “Forget him. He’s a
womanizer. It’s a waste of time.”
“Huh? Really? He was very cordial on the phone.”
Olivia snapped, “The One was founded to express loyalty to marriage and only love one person for the
rest of your life. However, he wanted to give me a ring. There’s something wrong with him.”
Seeing that she was angry, Jennie hurriedly helped her massage her shoulders. “Calm down. I won’t
send clients to you anymore. Forgive me.”
Lyla tugged at Olivias clothes too. “Mommy, forgive Aunt Jennie.”
Olivia’s biggest weakness was girls sweet-talking her, and there were two. She could not stand it, so
she gave up right away.
The next day, Olivia dropped Lyla off at kindergarten before heading to the atelier.
Not long after entering the office, Jennie stuck out her head and said, “Pheebs, that important client.
yesterday came in and asked for you.”
“Again? No.”
“He’s already here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What?”
Before Olivia could reject, Xavier showed up at the door.
“Ms. James, I’m sorry about yesterday. I came to apologize.”
As he spoke, he pulled out a bouquet of yellow tulips from behind and held them in front of Olivia. “Ms.
James, be the bigger person. Forgive me.”
Olivia did not extend her hand but stood there and stared at him indifferently. “Ms. Sutherland is here
today, so why don’t you just talk to her?”
“I’d like to talk about the design. Besides, I think The One designs more than rings. You also have
bracelets and stuff, don’t you?”
Jennie asked, “Mr. Hemsworth, what exactly do you want to customize?”
“A bracelet.”
Olivia froze. “Not a ring?”
‘Sorry, my joke went too far. I apologize.”
Olivia was embarrassed and took the flowers, pressing her lips. “Forget it. Let’s go to the conference
room and talk.”
