Chapter 558: Chapter 557
Keira Olsen nodded, “Okay.”
After she got up, she opened the bedroom door and saw Amy toddling back and forth outside the door, while the nanny was asking, “Little miss, shall we go play outside? Madame is sleeping, and the master just said not to disturb her.”
Amy, with her small hands behind her back, looked obedient. In a milky voice, she whispered softly, “Shh, quiet down, don’t wake mommy up~”
Keira Olsen’s heart melted at the sight of her.
She squatted down and bent over to pick her up.
Amy, feeling the embrace, immediately stretched out her hands and hugged her neck, “Mommy, you’re awake! I missed you so much!”
Keira Olsen couldn’t help but laugh, “Didn’t we just see each other last night?”
Yesterday when she returned to the Olsen Family house, she found that the nanny and Amy hadn’t gone to bed yet. The nanny said, “The little miss insisted on waiting for you to come back before she would sleep.”
Keira Olsen kissed Amy, and Amy grabbed her hand, asking, “Mommy, you won’t abandon Amy, will you?”
Keira Olsen’s heart ached when she heard that.
She looked at the delicate Amy and wanted to tell her, your mother has already left.
But she dared not say it, nor could she.
Hugging Amy, she firmly said, “Yes, I will never leave you.”
This morning, Amy was again at the doorway…
The nanny spoke up, “Madame, I don’t know what’s going on with the little miss; she’s been particularly clingy these past two days. She woke up early and has been waiting to find you. I told her you were sleeping, and she has been waiting here for you for three hours now.”
Children sleep early and wake up early.
Amy woke up at seven in the morning and had been staying here after breakfast.
Keira Olsen asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know,” the nanny approached her and whispered, “The little miss was calling for her mother in her sleep last night. Has something happened recently? It just seems like the little miss feels very insecure.”
Is something about to happen?
Only one thing, which is that Fox said he would snatch Amy away. It seems that children really are sensitive, her intuition has already let her sense the danger, so she clings to her.
Keira Olsen patted Amy’s back, reassuring her, “Amy, don’t worry, mommy is here, nobody can take you away.”
Only then did Amy relax and nod her head.
Keira Olsen turned around to go to the bathroom to freshen up, “I’m going to clean up, Amy, can you play with the nanny for a while?”
“Okay.”
Keira Olsen entered the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and was just about to grab a towel from the side to dry her face when a small hand handed a towel over.
Keira Olsen was surprised and looked down to see Amy had been standing by her side all along.
The small child held a towel in her hands; the face towel wasn’t big for her, but it was quite large in Amy’s small hands. She looked up obediently, her big black grape-like eyes carrying a pitiful look.
It was as if Keira Olsen’s heart had been heavily struck.
She took the towel, wiped her face, and then crouched down to pick up Amy: “Why isn’t Amy out playing?”
“I want to stay with Mommy.”
Amy asked softly: “Is that okay?”
Keira Olsen paused, then said, “Okay.”
Lewis Horton spoke up from the side: “Today we’re going to Scott Martin’s engagement dinner.”
Amy immediately looked up at Keira Olsen with big eyes.
Keira Olsen: “…”
Faced with such big eyes, who would dare to say no?
She sighed and nodded: “Okay, I’ll take you with me.”
Amy immediately became happy.
They all got ready and were about to have lunch at home when a voice came from the door: “Oh my, how can you still have an appetite!”
Keira Olsen turned her head and saw Erin South Martin enter, saying anxiously: “My brother is getting engaged to Vera South tonight, how can you be so calm? Grandpa told me, I don’t know what you’re up to, but our family will support whoever my brother marries. The one who’s not supported seems to be in danger. With things like this, how can you still eat?”
Erin South Martin’s voice was crisp and pleasant to the ear, and she was lively and active.
Keira Olsen asked, “How come you’re here?”
Erin South Martin sighed: “Back home, I watched my brother being hopelessly stubborn. So here I am, wanting you to think of a way to save him. Our family rarely does marriages of convenience, so why is it my brother’s turn now? And that good-for-nothing actually agreed! He was arguing with Grandpa yesterday, and today he seems resigned to fate. He even told me, marrying a woman he doesn’t love might actually lead to happiness. I think his brain’s flooded, he’s been brainwashed by Grandpa!”
Erin South Martin ranted and then looked at Little Amy, pinching her cheek, “Little Amy, did you miss me?”
With no sign of being an outsider.
Amy shrank back and dodged her hand, then said in a milky voice: “I missed you, Aunt Erin.”
This made Erin South Martin blush slightly, and she scolded: “Why are you calling people randomly?”
“It was Uncle Charles who told me to call you that.”
Amy immediately ratted out Charles Olsen.
Keira Olsen looked around and said: “Charles Olsen doesn’t seem to be home.”
“I know, I have an appointment with him at twelve.”
Erin South Martin sat on the sofa, looking at Keira Olsen: “My grandfather’s views on love are problematic, but that’s the thinking of their older generation. Back then, everything was based on parental arrangements. Now, what era are we in… Back when he got dumped by his first love, he insisted that the ones you can’t have are the best, and now he’s brainwashing my brother… Hmph, I can’t stand how Grandpa acts!”
Keira Olsen asked curiously: “Your grandfather’s first love?”
Upon mentioning this, Erin South Martin’s eyes lit up: “Don’t get me wrong, my grandfather is quite formidable, he’s the former King… er, never mind, just act like you didn’t hear that~ Actually, my grandfather has always held onto someone in his heart, and that’s his first love! I heard that his first love didn’t fancy him and ran off outright, heh heh, afterward, she only sent him a photo from time to time. When my grandmother was around, she was strict, and my grandfather didn’t dare to say anything. Now that my grandmother has been gone for half a year, he went looking for his first love. Thinking about it, I guess it’s hard to let go!”
After finishing, Erin South Martin whispered: “Every day he sneaks off to the study to look at a photo, there are two women in it, one is his first love, the other is his daughter. He thinks nobody knows, one day I sneaked in and saw the photo…”
At this point, Erin South Martin suddenly looked at Keira Olsen, sizing her up: “Speaking of which, doesn’t that girl look a bit like you?”
