Chapter 896
Olivia pouted. "But that's not something that can be given to others as a gift."
"Didn't you already achieve that just now?"
"What?"
Jewel pointed out. "You protected Terry with your body just now. That's the perfect example of an expression of
your love."
Olivia laughed. "How does that count?"
Jewel replied, "They're all children who lack love, so they're very content just from receiving a little bit of love."
Olivia suddenly recalled what Carter mentioned last time. He mentioned that she was very kind to them, saying that
nobody would bother to worry about others when they were in danger.
To be honest, she didn't feel as if she had done anything special. Nevertheless, they seemed to appreciate her
kindness.
The consensus was that children were easy to deceive. Contrary to those beliefs, children had a keen perception of

Otherwise, Carter would not have accepted her and asked her to be their mother.
Otherwise, Terry would not have kept staring at her tonight.
Otherwise, Blake would not remember something as insignificant as her smile so clearly.
"I've figured out what to give them," Olivia suddenly said out loud.
Jewel asked in astonishment, "What?"
Olivia's reply was extremely mysterious. "You'll know in a few days."
Jewel sulked. "How can you keep secrets from me?"
Olivia raised an eyebrow at that but smiled without saying a word.
It was already 11.00PM by the time the two of them arrived at the hotel where they were staying.
As soon as they walked through the entrance, they saw one adult and one child waiting for them in the lobby.
Olivia was slightly surprised. "Why are you here?"
Both Brian and North stood up and walked over to her upon hearing her question. "Where did you go? Why didn't
you turn on your phone?"
Only then did she realize that her phone had been turned off all this time.
In the beginning, it was because she didn't want to receive any phone calls from a certain person. She later forgot
to turn on her phone simply because she had been too busy and shocked by the events that unfolded.
She pulled North into her embrace and made a random excuse. "My phone ran out of batteries. Why were you
looking for me?"
He replied, "Daddy was worried because he couldn't contact you."
Feeling a little speechless, she glanced at Brian. "Did you come here just for that?"
Brian stared at her with a complicated expression. "Excuse me? This is a serious matter! Eugene harassed me all
night last night. I couldn't even get a wink of sleep! He keeps calling me every so often. If I don't give him an answer
by tonight, it'll be another sleepless night for me!"
She did not understand. "What answer?"
He explained. "He told me to let him know if you return. No, that's not important. When did you leave for
Nambahd? Why didn't you give me a heads-up before you left? What am I supposed to do if something dangerous
happens to you?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe reassured him, "I'm fine. I went with Jewel."
He inquired further, "What happened between the two of you? He sounded rather anxious like something huge
happened."
Her expression immediately darkened. Her good mood sank to the bottom of the abyss again when she was
reminded of that matter once more.
Be that as it may, she pretended to be unaffected. "It's nothing. It's just something he has to do. I can't be away for
long anyway, so I came back first."
Brian looked at her suspiciously. "Are you sure?"
She nodded. "Yeah. Don't worry, I'll call him later. You should go home."
He took a deep breath and said, "Olivia, I don't know what happened between the two of you. But you should know
that he loves you very much. It's because he cares so much that he might overthink things sometimes and become
timid as a result. It's all because he's too afraid of losing you. Please forgive him on account of how much he loves
you from the bottom of his heart."
Olivia forced the corners of her lips into a smile. "I know."
He took another deep breath. "Alright then. This issue can only be settled by the people involved. You can settle the
issue among yourselves when he gets back." After saying that, he turned to North and said, "Let's go, North. We're
going home."
