Chapter 1160
Connor threw himself into Olivia's arms, tears flowing like a waterfall.
The idea of it being a dream feared him. "Mom, is it really you?"
Olivia failed to hold her tears back as she kept repeating," Yes, it's me. Sorry for coming to you so late."
"I thought you didn't want me, Mom. I waited here for years."
Whenever the season for the cherry blossoms to bloom came, Connor would come to the watchtower.
However, even if he waited until the flowers withered, she never came.
Ethan told Connor that he couldn't locate Olivia either.
Years and years passed, and he questioned himself if she didn't come because she disliked him.
"It's all my fault, son. I was wrong. I should've come to you earlier. You're my precious son. How could I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot want you?"
If he wasn't the eldest son, Olivia would've brought him along to raise him herself.
She wiped his tears away. "Don't cry, I love you."
He definitely grew up physically, but he was still that crying baby on the inside.
"I can’t believe my son is catching up with me in terms of height. Time surely flies.”
"Dad told me that you were sick and needed to go somewhere far for treatment. Have you recovered,
Mom?"
She nodded. "I'm fit as a fiddle. Let me check your injuries."
Since Connor was dilly-dallying due to shyness, she simply removed his top herself.
Although there were some scars, the injuries were not fatal, fortunately.
"Don't worry, Mom. Dad didn't send me to dangerous places. He just wants me to train myself so that I
can protect you when I grow up." He flexed his muscles. "Look! I'm a big boy now!"
"You're the best!" Olivia was happy to learn that he was growing up healthily.
"Mom, I heard from Dad that I have a younger sister with green eyes!"
Olivia scoured her album on her phone for Willow's picture." This is Willow.”
"Woah! She does have green eyes! That's so cool! Why are mine black, though?" He deflated.
"Besides, I don't look like you."
"Is it not nice to take after your father? A lot of ladies like him," she teased.
"I don't wanna take after him. I like you better." Connor turned into a mommy's boy whenever she was
around.
And Olivia was happy to spoil him.
When the day almost ended, Connor asked with a heavy heart, "Mom, are you leaving again?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah."
"When can we reunite?"
"Your younger siblings are studying abroad. When the new year comes, I'll bring them back and we can
have dinner together."
"Promise?" His eyes were bright.
"Promise." They made a pinky promise.
Now that a promise was secured, Connor broke into a smile.
Connor watched Olivia leave with the helicopter, but he wasn't filled with sorrow this time.
This wasn't a farewell but the start of a reunion.
Considering Olivia's perky self, Connor believed that she had fully recovered.
On the way home, Olivia asked, "Are you not going to talk to him?"
"Men speak through eyes alone."
She was rendered speechless. "Wow, funny."
