"Aunt Violet, open it and see if you like it!" Oliver had not noticed the awkwardness and urged Everly to open the box.Everly sneered at Carson, who was standing by the side, before changing her expression drastically to smile as she rubbed Oliver's head and said, "Alright, let Auntie take a look!"Everly carefully opened the box and found an adorable bunny accessory inside."Dad and I picked this. This is just like the deer accessory you gave me before. Aunt Violet, you can hang it on your phone," Oliver explained and took out his own phone to show Everly the deer accessory she gave him. With an incredibly cheerful expression, he looked at Everly, doe-eyed, and asked, "Do you like it?"Everly acted swiftly and hooked the bunny accessory to her phone before dangling it and said, "What an adorable gift, Oliver. Auntie likes it a lot!"Everly touched Oliver's chubby cheeks. In truth, she wanted to tell him, "Mommy likes it". However, she had yet to obtain Oliver's custody, and she
Alice was not happy with it. She had already been furious, to begin with, the fact that Robbie had stopped her from seeing Carson added to her grudge and she blurted out, "So what if I am targeting her?"Robbie simply returned a polite smile. "Miss Davidson, there are boundaries to everything. We are all witnesses to what has been happening between you and Violet. I would advise that you step back while you still can.""And I'm supposed to step back simply because you ask me to?" Alice became more agitated at the thought that Robbie was siding with Violet and said, "Robbie, I am the marketing representation that Carson hired, and I'm in charge of all tasks in the matter. Right now, I don't think that Violet's work could pass, and it's only reasonable that I call her and ask that she comes back!""Miss Davidson, don't be so certain with your words. You and I both know the truth behind how you got into Baxter Group, so there's no point for you to try and pressure me with that." The sm
Everly was boiling the pasta.She had not had her dinner, and her stomach began to rumble after playing around with Oliver. Oliver heard her, and after a brief moment of awkwardness, Oliver told her that he had not had his dinner as well and would like to try her cooking, which led to the current situation.Carson had been assigned to handle the ingredients. Everly cast him aside on purpose while she remained on the other side with Oliver.'If he insists on staying here, then he's just going to have to work!' she thought."Oliver, who cooks at your house?" she asked."Aunt Emma. She cooks well!"As the two chatted to one another, Carson looked at the potato in his hand. His brows relaxed as he held the peeler tightly and began peeling the skin of the potato.The feeling that they were a family of three cooking together in the kitchen felt great. Though he had not been inside a kitchen before, he was willing to change for her sake.Everly observed Carson as he processed the ingr
"Yes, yes!" Everly immediately tapped Oliver on the shoulder and changed the subject. "Here, let's do something else. Auntie is going to surprise you today!""Are you a better cook than Aunt Emma?" Oliver was instantly distracted by Everly and leaned over cheerfully."Aunt Emma is good at what she does, but I also hope that you like my cooking!" Everly petted him on the head and walked towards the stove. Oliver found himself a small chair and stood on it from a distance to observe Everly.The kitchen was soon filled with a wondrous smell. While both Everly and Oliver did not notice, Carson had finished washing the vegetables and was looking at them with a faint smile.…Time flew by in the Orchid Garden.All three were satisfied with dinner, with Oliver going on and on about how delicious it was and that he wanted to come over again in the future. Everly was delighted as any chance that she had to interact with Oliver was more than what she could ever ask for. As for Carson, she
Carson had not to back down even though he was not much of a talker."Stop making false accusations!" John retorted immediately and tried to run in. Carson remained standing at the door and refused to move. Instantly, the entrance to the Orchid Garden became extremely noisy, to the point that both Everly and Oliver noticed from the living room."What are you two doing?"Before the two could notice, Everly had come over to the door holding Oliver's hand. She stared at the two furious men and felt helpless. John was absolutely livid, looking as though he was prepared to penetrate any barrier before him to get inside the house at any moment. Meanwhile, despite the composure Carson displayed on the outside, he oozed a terrifying aura that could bring chills to one's bones."Dad," Oliver called out in fear.Carson retrieved his gaze from staring at John and reached out his arm to grab Oliver's hand."Ever- Violet, are you okay? Did he do anything to you?" John instantly changed his wa
"Carson Baxter, did you hear her? This is Violet's house, not yours, so why are you standing here?" John continued to tease.Carson and Everly remained silent with no regard for any noise around them. In the end, Carson asked, "Do you really want him to stay?""It's my personal business, Mister Baxter. You have no right to ask questions about it." Everly looked away. With Oliver gone, she had no intention of exchanging pleasantry with him any longer. "Mister Baxter, you have stayed for long enough to have your dinner. This visit should come to its end now. It's late, so please leave."Carson did not move but stared at her, his fingers turning white from gripping onto the doorknob too hard."You heard her. She's asking you to leave," John said sarcastically.Carson stared intently at Everly, but she showed no sign of changing her mind. John was still muttering sarcastic remarks. In the end, Carson lowered his gaze to look away and released his hand on the doorknob."Ha! There you
"Do you want to move? Or maybe I can get a few bodyguards to surround this place." John suggested, "I don't think Carson is going to give up just like that. You still haven't announced your true identity, but once words get out… You know what he's like, and in order to protect his own image, he would do anything he could to keep you here."Everly tidied up the things and walked back. "There's no need. I've told Annie about this as well before. The entire Cannesville is in the palms of his hands. Where could I move to? As for the bodyguards…"Everly looked at John and smiled at him. "Thank you for caring about me, John, but there really is no need. If he really wants to do something to me, bodyguards won't stop him. Besides, all those strangers here would scare Oliver.""Everly, is that really what you think of this?" John did not agree with her. "This doesn't sound like the you that I know before. Why was Carson here tonight?"He stood up. "Don't forget what you said to my brother.
Oliver's big, dark eyes were filled with Carson's reflection. He observed Carson intently and did not respond."Aunt Emma said you need a bath now. You still have school tomorrow." Carson rubbed Oliver's head and asked, "Do you want me to bathe you?""Mm-hm." Oliver nodded and offered his hand for Carson to hold.Carson lifted an eyebrow and held Oliver's chubby hand before the two headed to the bathroom on the second floor together.Along the way, all the decoration was an exact replica of Baxter residence, with all of Everly's belongings moved to this mansion. The two walked through all of them towards the bathroom, as they had done so many times back in Baxter residence.The entire bathroom was filled with steam, and Oliver sat inside the bathtub filled with warm water with a big pile of foam on his head. His chubby hands were covered in bubbles as well, and he continued to stare at Carson as he scrubbed himself."You've been looking at me ever since I came back." Carson said
