Chapter 349: 349: That’s All
Olivia’s gaze was gentle, and her expression was utterly innocent.
“Goo goo… hee hee hee…” The baby squinted with laughter, revealing adorable tiny teeth, and played hide and seek with Olivia.
The baby, who must have just learned to walk, was unstable and suddenly began to wobble.
Seeing the baby about to fall, Olivia instinctively reached out to steady her.
The baby’s mother also quickly ran over, picked her up, and apologised to Olivia and Daniel.
Not wanting her child to disturb others, the young mother took her child away.
With the disappearance of the skin-like sculpted white jade, and endearing baby, Olivia felt a fleeting sense of loss, as if a piece of her heart had been emptied.
Olivia’s beautiful face did not reveal her true feelings, she continued to eat as if nothing had happened, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised in a faint smile.
Daniel’s sharp, hawk-like stare had been locked onto Olivia all along, watching every move and every smile of hers.
Suddenly, Daniel’s lips parted slightly, with a flat and indifferent voice, “Do you want to have children?”
With her long eyelashes trembling slightly, Olivia slowly raised her eyes to meet Daniel’s sharp, hawk-like gaze.
Hesitating for a few seconds, Olivia playfully tested him, “My dear, why would you ask that? Do you want children?”
“Don’t try to be clever and read into my words, I’m just reminding you.”
Daniel’s voice was as cold as an icehouse, making Olivia’s body abruptly stiff, and a forced, embarrassed smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
At this point, Olivia felt colder and frostier than she had before.
Her grandfather’s wishful thinking, she couldn’t fulfil it, nor could she bring it up with Daniel.
Her grandfather overestimated her ability, and overestimated Daniel’s interest in her.
Olivia calmly looked at Daniel, quickly adjusting her emotions.
Olivia’s heart went back to its previous cold hardness.
Although they still appeared harmonious in the room, there was an insurmountable distance between them. It’s as though a door had closed between them, neither willing to rashly swing it open.
“I never harbor any wishful thinking. You know how much I hate the idea of having your child. Grandfather’s carrot and stick threats have never moved me, so the idea of wanting a child does not exist. Other people’s children are always the cutest. This simple truth… you are aware of it, aren’t you?”
A small wave of emotion barely flickered within Daniel’s deep eyes, his sexy lips parting slightly to say something dismissive, “I hope you really don’t harbor any wishful thinking!”
Olivia raised an eyebrow and her beautiful face brimmed with a sweet smile, confidently and proudly stating, “In my heart, the Jenkins Group is the most important. Now, only the Jenkins Group is in my heart. Isn’t focusing on my career a fragrant choice? I wouldn’t burden myself with a baby. I’m not crazy. I know exactly what I want.”
Feeling bothered, a trace of iciness flashed in Daniel’s eyes, but he just pursed his sexy lips more tightly.
Comparing a child with Olivia, he would rather have Olivia alone; he was not willing to gamble on any risks.
Olivia had experienced trials too, so even though her heart had been thrown into tumult, she appeared calm in that moment, her face donned with a carefree smile, as she continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Having a handsome and dashing husband who was wealthy and influential, made others envious. What else could she not be satisfied with?
She was focused on ensuring the steady development of the Jenkins Group, turning losses into profits, and going public in three years. This was her goal.
Since she had already made her choice, she would fulfill her duties as Mrs. Olivia Marshall just like before, and nothing more..
