Chapter 123
Olivia was stunned for a moment before her face instantly turned blushed.
The space was so close that almost their noses would collide. The ambiance rose up and crackled like a matchstick that would burn with a stoke.
It could get ignited right away.
A sense of soft numbness spread from her lips to her waist. Olivia’s entire body went limp.
At this moment, Daniel was like a prisoner who had broken free. His eyes were flaming with desire as he looked at Olivia with a gaze that wanted to devour her.
It had been five years, 1,825 days, 43,800 hours, 2,628,000 minutes, and 1,576,800,000 seconds!
Daniel couldn’t imagine how he endured such a long time. It was like an
eon.
The longing had long been carved into his bones. It was deep and seeped into his bones. With every breath he took, the longing increased.
If it weren’t for the fact Andrew was here, he would have stripped her down and surrounded her body.
Only by fusing her into his bones and blood would the endless black space in his heart be filled.
Olivia looked up unintentionally and saw Daniel’s eyes. She was shocked! His eyes were filled with thirst, hope, and longing. They were overflowing with desire.
“Daniel, what’s wrong with you?”
Olivia looked up. For the first time, confusion appeared in her calm eyes for the first time. At the same time, her heart kept beating.
The affection in Daniel’s eyes was too strong, so emotional that she was afraid that she could not bear it.
She placed her fingertips on Daniel’s cheek. Olivia wanted to say something, but at that moment, her phone suddenly rang.

The sudden ringing brought Daniel back to his senses. He closed his eyes and suppressed his tumultuous feelings. He warned himself that it was not the time yet.
Livy had already forgotten about him. He had to take it slow and not scare her.
Daniel regained his rationality and turned around, leaning back in his seat dejectedly. He pursed his lips and chuckled. It seemed he would lose his wits and get out of control before this woman.
Daniel heaved a sigh of relief. When he opened his eyes again, the vision had already regained clarity.
He had already waited for five years. There was no need to rush. He was willing to wait for Livy to fall in love with him again!
The call was from Amelia. Olivia looked at the caller ID. She frowned slightly and picked it up. “Hello?”
“Olivia?” Amelia’s voice was a little nervous. Her tone was slightly trembling.
“Yes. Olivia’s voice was cold. “What’s going on?”
Amelia did not seem to know how to talk to her. She didn’t have the demeanor of a noblewoman, speaking fast and anxiously as if somebody was holding a knife against her neck. “This weekend is your grandfather’s 80th birthday.”
“I got it.” Olivia nodded. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
Before she could continue, the other side had already left.
Amelia was stunned for a moment. She was holding her phone and stared at it in a daze.
Maddie happened to push the door open and enter at this moment. She was holding two cups of coffee.
Seeing Amelia staring at her phone in a daze, a shaft of light flashed across her eyes. Maddie asked, “Have you called Olivia?”
Amelia nodded, looking like she was out of her mind.
Maddie took a sip of coffee before continuing to ask, “What did she say? Is she coming or not?”
Amelia frowned and said in an uncertain tone, “I’m not sure. She only said that she knew it. She didn’t say whether she was coming or not,”

“She must be angry with you,” Maddie said firmly. “It’s Friday today. Dad’s birthday is in two days. Why didn’t you tell her earlier? Now she doesn’t have time to prepare a gift.”
Seeing that her sister was blaming her, Amelia looked aggrieved and defended herself. “I forgot. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Oh my god, how could you say that?” Maddie was so angry that her chest. heaved. “Don’t you know how to be a mother? If you cared about her a little, you wouldn’t have forgotten such an important thing. Why didn’t you forget to tell Emma?”
Speaking of Emma, Maddie’s tone became more serious. “You have to remember that Olivia is your real daughter. Emma is adopted.”
“Alright, alright. I know.” Amelia sounded impatient. She hated such a banal theory about blood.
So what if Emma was an adopted daughter? To Amelia, Emma was her biological daughter!
Maddie was upset about Amelia’s impatient expression. Seeing that she was stubborn and impervious to other voices, she sighed and softened her tone. “I’m not saying that Emma is not a good girl. I also love Emma very much. Indeed, all these years, Emma has always been staying with you. But you can’t choose between your kids. Even if you can’t treat them. equally, at least you have to act like that.
“Olivia has been adrift outside without a family for nearly 20 years. She suffered a lot. As her mother, you have to take care of her, understand her, and educate her,” Maddie advised earnestly.
“I know, I know. I want to care about her.” Speaking of this, Amelia still felt aggrieved. At first, she really wanted to treat Olivia well. She wanted to find an etiquette mentor for her, give her some shares, and pick up a good husband for her.
However, Olivia did not appreciate her efforts at all. She complained, “Maddie, you don’t know her. She is a strange girl. She’s conceited and inferior. She’s not obedient at all. She takes advantage of her beauty to hang around with Ethan and seduce the man Emma likes. Now, she’s with Daniel. That’s unbelievable. What a shame to our family.”
“What’s going on?” Maddie frowned.
Amelia sighed. “To tell you the truth, I do have a barrier against Olivia. Previously, because I misunderstood that she harmed Emma before, I

wanted to teach her a lesson. However, when I found out that she had been learning the violin and writing songs, I changed my mind. I tried to ease the relationship with her and find a good marriage for her.”
“Then do it,” Maddie said.
