Chapter 904
Sensible children always made people feel sorry for them.
Olivia's eyes reddened instantly as she hugged Lyla tightly, apologizing profusely.
"Are you still going to send me away, Mommy?"
"Not anymore.”
Olivia forced a smile and pinched Lyla's chubby face. "You'll follow me from now on. You'll be wherever I am, okay?"
Lyla's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Really? Don't lie to me, Mommy!*
With that said, she raised her little hand, put out her pinky, and said childishly yet sternly, "Mommy, let's do a pinky swear. We can't go back on our word once we pinky swear."
"Alright, let's do a pinky swear."
Olivia wiped her tears as she did a pinky swear with Lyla.
"It's a deal."
"Okay."
Lyla grinned once she got an affirmative answer. Her eyes curled into little crescents.
Olivia's saddened mood brightened again when she saw her daughter's happy smile.
She sent Lyla away because of Dorothy.
However, she let Dorothy hurt Lyla after all.
She had only realized now how happy and satisfying she was to have Lyla around.
Moreover, since Dorothy already knew Lyla's existence, it would be dangerous even if she sent her away. Lyla might as well stay with her. She could keep an eye on her all the time.
Olivia turned her head to look at Sam, who was standing silently. "Sam, come here."
Sam walked over nervously. He did not get too close but stood half a meter away from the bed.
"Godmother."
The child was sensitive. He probably felt somewhat left out when he saw her and Lyla's interaction. He was also scared of behaving too intimately and accidentally overstepping boundaries.
