"Isn't it because he still treats Christopher as his brother?" Avery felt that there was nothing strange about this matter. "Besides, when it comes to dealing with people like Christopher, it's more satisfying to destroy his confidence than sending him to jail."
"Anyway, you can ask around for a little bit. Tell me if the result turns out to be the same as how you expected."
"No problem," Avery immediately agreed.
The next day.
When Charlotte arrived at Avery's house, Olive had already woken up, but Avery was still sleeping.
It was already past nine o'clock. Normally, he should have woken up. Moreover, they had already talked about this yesterday. Avery really had no concept of time.
Olive tidied up her backpack and brought her homework as well as toys. Because she wasn't sure what Sheryl liked, so she filled up the entire bag. Charlotte sat beside her. Seeing that she was busy, she couldn't help but ask, "Olive, do you usually like studying that much?" "Yeap. I like studying," Olive said with a nod.
"Why?" "Because only by studying hard can one's destiny be changed," Olive answered matter-of- factly.
Charlotte didn't expect a child to have this kind of awareness at such a young age, so she could only sigh. "You have to work hard, alright."
Olive nodded.
The two of them waited for a while before Avery finally woke up. He got dressed, but he didn't appear to be in a good mental state. He seemed to have had another nightmare. Avery would often complain to Charlotte that he would have all kinds of nightmares.
His dreams were bizarre too. For example, he once dreamt that a cat he had for five years ran away from home or that he was locked up in a place like a confinement island while battling with others to survive. All in all, his peculiar dreams came one after another.
"Didn't you sleep well?" Charlotte got up and asked worriedly.
"It's not because I didn't sleep well. I straight up had an amazing sleep," Avery answered meekly. "I dreamed that Olive and Irena were shopping hand in hand, and then they were... Forget it. I'm already used to it. Maybe it's because I already think that Olive is my child, so I began to worry about her
safety."
"Dreams and reality are usually the opposite."
True. They were the opposite.
Therefore, Olive could never hold hands with Irena. Therefore, Irena no longer existed. Therefore,...
There were too many reasons. That was why dreams and reality were the opposite.
Charlotte's words comforted Avery, but at the same time, he also became more dispirited. Whether it was words or things, or people, they all had two sides. And this double-sidedness would often crush someone when they tried to save another someone.
Charlotte dropped Avery off at the shopping mall next to the location where he had agreed to meet Elaine.
"I'll walk around here for a little bit. You can take Olive with you." Avery unbuckled his seat belt and said, "I'll call you immediately if I need anything." "All right."
Avery sat in the car for a while. After making sure that no one was following him, he got out of the car.
Charlotte did not lower her guard too. She drove around the city center a few times before leaving with Olive. After all, it wouldn't be worse if someone was following her car instead of Avery.
When she was driving around for a bit, she bought some cakes and invited Olive to have breakfast. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
"It's so delicious." Olive held the sandwich tightly in her hands.
"Slow down. You can buy another one if you want to."
"Is that alright?"
"Of course."
Olive immediately ran over to buy another one. But of course, Charlotte had given her some money.
As she watched the little girl eat ravenously, Charlotte couldn't help but think of Sheryl. She didn't know how she was doing now and if she was missing her.
Soon, the two of them finished their breakfast. After making sure that no one was stalking them, Charlotte brought Olive to the Fuller Residence.
The butler was already familiar with her car. He opened the big iron gate without even asking. Olive thought that houses were all tall buildings and villas. No matter how rich people were, their houses would more or less be the same. But she never thought that a house could have a garden and a sunroom. They even had to drive to get around in the Fuller Residence.
Olive's desire to earn more money and to excel in the future had increased drastically.
Charlotte parked the car in the parking lot and entered the house with Olive.
"Mommy!"
A little girl dressed in a pink dress flung herself into Charlotte's arms.
"Sheryl." Charlotte hugged her. She couldn't be more familiar with the little girl's milky fragrance. She felt at ease in the presence of that scent.
"Where's my friend?" Sheryl stood beside her and stuck her head out.
Charlotte looked back and found Olive standing at the door, hesitating over the slippers the servants had brought her. She didn't seem to know which pair of slippers she should wear. Sheryl tilted her head and looked at her for a while. Then, she ran to her side and said, "This is cute."
Sheryl pointed at a pair of pink rabbit slippers. She bought these slippers when she first learned how to shop online. They were particularly adorable.
Olive nodded and chose that pair of shoes. "Nice to meet you. My name is Olive Hart. You can just call me Olive."
"I like your name a lot. My name's Sheryl Emerson. They all call me Sheryl." After greeting Olive, Sheryl skipped to Charlotte's side and said,
"Mommy, I'm bringing my friend upstairs to play." "All right."
Charlotte watched as the two kids walked away.
At this moment, Mrs. Fuller Senior walked out. Charlotte hurriedly went over to help her, "Granny." "You're finally here to see your child? Why didn't Shane come with you?"
"He should also be thinking about this question at the moment. The main reason I came today is to bring Olive over to meet Sheryl. If he comes with us, I'm afraid that Sheryl wouldn't have time to play with Olive if she's with us all the time," Charlotte explained.
"You guys didn't quarrel?"
"What else do we have to quarrel about?" Charlotte couldn't help but laugh.
Mrs. Fuller Senior looked into her eyes and shook her head. "It's good that you didn't quarrel, but it's not good to not quarrel at all. You still have to show affection to him sometimes."
Charlotte immediately thought of the incident where she ran away from home. She thought about it for a long time before finally telling it to Mrs. Fuller Senior. However, the story didn't sound concerning at all because the problem had already been solved. Instead, she found it quite funny.
At the end of the story, Mrs. Fuller Senior laughed and said, "It seems that I don't have to worry about you guys anymore. When I get older, I'll go and find my old man."
"Granny, you haven't seen Sheryl grow up yet. Besides, I'm planning to have another child. Don't you want to have a look?" Charlotte particularly didn't wish Mrs. Fuller Senior to have such a negative thought.
"All right, all right. Of course. Let me see if our Lottie can give birth to another little princess or little prince."
Charlotte really started considering this matter. "If Sheryl were a boy, I would like to have a little princess. But since she's a girl, it sounds better for her to have a brother. Besides, there's another girl from Avery's side. If I can, I would like to have a boy."
"That's great. It's wonderful to have a son and a daughter."
Mrs. Fuller Senior stopped speaking for a while and let out a sigh.
Charlotte suddenly realized what she was thinking and asked softly, "Granny, are you thinking if Christopher is a girl, everything would be different?"
Mrs. Fuller Senior didn't expect Charlotte to guess what she was thinking just by listening to her sigh. So, she didn't hide it from her either and nodded slowly. "Yes. If Chris were a girl, he wouldn't be so greedy. He would have willingly returned to our family."
"Granny, you might not like what I'm going to say, but it's already too late..."
How could granny not understand the meaning of this?
Granny was not familiar with Christopher, but she took care of Shane since he was a child. What would happen to the person who treats Shane as a rival? She didn't even need to think about it to know the answer.
However, it was unfortunate that Christopher didn't live a good life.
"In the end, he was still from the Fuller Family." Mrs. Fuller Senior sighed.
Charlotte gently held her hand and said, "Granny, as long as he doesn't take anything too far, he can still lead a normal life."
