Olivia glanced at Xavier, leaned over, and picked Lyla up. “Lyla, don’t call any man you see Daddy. It’s
dangerous. There are a lot of bad guys out there.”
Lyla turned her head to look at Xavier and blinked. “Mommy, I didn’t do it randomly. I only called the man
that because he’s good-looking.”
‘Good-looking…
She was already judging people by their appearances at such a young age.
Unfortunately, good-looking men were just as dangerous as good-looking women.
“Lyla, I don’t mind being your daddy. If you want, help convince your mommy, and I’ll be your daddy.”
Xavier leaned in and pinched Lyla’s chubby face as he spoke. “How cute.”
Lyla was convinced as she widened her dark eyes. “Really? Lyla’s going to have a daddy. That’s great!”
Olivia glared coldly at Xavier. “Mr. Hemsworth, kids take their parents seriously. Please don’t joke about
it.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that said, she carried Lyla back to the bedroom.
“Lyla, I’ve told you. Your daddy has gone somewhere far away and isn’t coming back.”
Lyla lowered her head in disappointment. “But I want a daddy. All the kids in kindergarten have one
except me. Why is that?”
It was unknown whether Lyla was mature because she had a different childhood experience. She was
only four years old but kept asking questions she did not know how to answer.
Olivia hugged and consoled her softly, “Lyla, everyone has parents. You have a daddy too. He’s just not
by your side.”
Little Lyla raised her head and thought about it. As if afraid of upsetting Olivia, she grinned. “Okay, I got
it. No more questions from me. Stop feeling bad, Mommy.”
She kissed Lyla. “Lyla, you will understand some things when you’re older.”
This girl was so sweet that she always made Olivia’s heart melt.
Without Lyla, she would probably have suffered more these last few years.
On the other side, in the living room.
Fred put the eggs and bacon in front of Xavier. “Mr. Hemsworth, hurry and leave after you’re done.”
Xavier took his time eating the egg. He looked up at Fred. “Your egg’s pretty good, but you’re a little
harsh.”
“Mr. Hemsworth, my family and I don’t know you well. It’s good enough that we sheltered a drunk like you
for the night and provided you with breakfast. What more do you want?”
Seeing Fred upset made Xavier feel better.
He could not help it. He enjoyed seeing people irritated.
Before he could say another word, Olivia was already out the door.
“Ms. James, your brother seems quite hostile to me. I…”
“Are you done with your meal, Mr. Hemsworth? You may leave if you’re done.”
Olivia interrupted and dragged him to the door. She opened it, pushed him out, threw his

coat into his arms, and slammed the door shut in his face.
Looking at the heavy security door, Xavier smiled and shrugged.
‘This woman’s getting more and more interesting.”
Inside, Fred frowned and warned, “Liv, this guy doesn’t look nice. Be careful.”
“I know what to do. Are you going back to school today?”
“Yeah, I have to go back and hand in my homework. I’ll be back this afternoon.”
Olivia nodded. “I’ll take Lyla. You can go.”
Fred glanced at her strangely. “Liv, is there something you’re not telling me?”
He had a feeling there was something wrong with her since last night.
Olivia paused and shook her head. “No, I just didn’t sleep well last night.”
However, her face darkened after Fred was gone.
She knew she had to face it no matter how scared she was. She could not be a turtle forever.
She had to be strong for Lyla.
