Chapter 383
It was Olivia’s turn to be puzzled now. She wondered what was going on with the child.
When she first met him, he didn’t even know how to walk. But he would tug at her clothes and call her “Mommy”.
“Are you serious? He never called anyone that before?”
“I’m sure of it. I am always around him, after all. Other than his mumbles, he never called anyone ‘Mommy’. He may be young, but he’s very much like Mr. Miller.
“Ever since he learned how to walk, he rarely lets anyone carry him. That’s why I was surprised to see him getting so close to you, Ms. Fordham. He even calls you ‘Mommy’.”
Olivia felt a little awkward when she heard that. She could only find an excuse. “It was
probably when we stayed on the island. I always took care of him back then, so maybe he learned to depend on me.”
“That makes sense. Speaking of which, you were so brave that night, Ms. Fordham. The kidnappers were armed, but you ran after them anyway.
“If it weren’t for you, Master Connor wouldn’t have made it back home.”
Olivia put on an awkward smile. Then, she glanced down at Connor.
While she was chatting with Mina, Connor leaned against her chest. He played with the decorations on her clothes. He was drooling again, and he looked quite innocent and carefree.
Mina quickly changed Erina’s diapers. Then, she made some milk for Erina. Erina sat obediently on the couch to drink the milk, but her eyes were trained on Olivia.
Olivia felt a little uneasy about it. Erina’s face was just like the mini version of Marina’s. Olivia felt like Marina was staring at her.
Mina walked up to Connor. “Master Connor has outgrown diapers by now. I’ll take him to the
bathroom.”
Connor cocked his head to the side. He leaned right against Olivia’s arms as he spoke. His pronunciation had gotten clearer. “Mommy, hug.”
“Let me do it.” Olivia carried Connor to the bathroom.
She wondered if Connor was traumatized because she had suddenly left him alone back then.
Now, his greatest fear was Olivia abandoning him again. So, he refused to be away from Olivia
for even a moment.

Olivia’s troubled heart healed a lot because of Connor’s arrival.
She couldn’t see any traces of Marina on Connor’s face. Hence, Olivia felt a sense of familiarity
with him.
Connor seemed to like her a lot. Even when she put him down, he insisted on following her
around like a tail.
Madam Burgess prepared the meal while Mina took care of Erina. Erina sat on the baby stool, but Connor insisted on sticking to Olivia.
“Master Connor likes you so much, Mrs. Miller. People would mistake him for your son.”
Madam Burgess spoke without thinking much about it. She only realized her mistake when she had finished her sentence. “Mrs. Miller, I—”
“I know you don’t have any ill intentions. It’s okay.”
Mina also spoke up. “Master Connor, I’ll feed you after I’ve fed Ms. Erina. Be good and wait for me, okay?”
Connor opened his mouth, acting like a baby bird waiting to be fed. “Mommy feed.”
Olivia smiled helplessly. “Alright, fine. Aunt Olivia will feed you.”
Connor corrected her sternly. “You’re Mommy.”
“Aunt Olivia.”
“Mommy.”
They had already argued over this countless times on the island. Olivia always lost to him. In the end, she decided not to argue with the child anymore.
When they were on the island, Connor mainly drank milk. Now, he drank milk sparingly and was preparing to eat proper food.
Madam Burgess pampered the children, so she made a lot of weaning food for them.
Olivia asked, “What does he like to eat?”
Mina rattled off a long list. Before Olivia could say anything, Madam Burgess spoke up.
“Why does Master Connor have the exact same preferences as you, Mrs. Miller? You two even hate the same things.”
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
