The Divorcee and Her Three Chaotic Children (Olivia Clarke and William) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64
Chapter 64
At the Kinsman family’s villa.
The entire Kinsman household was abuzz, preparing for the birthday banquet of their young prince.
The party was scheduled to begin at six in the evening. Although it was only nine in the morning, the emcee, chef, pastry chef, and others were already in full swing.
As a child, Lucian preferred peace and quiet and didn’t socialize much, so his birthday parties were always held at the villa to keep him comfortable.
The guest list was always selective, with only a few prestigious families that had close ties with the Kinsman family invited.
In recent years, it had become a point of pride among the elite circles in Melburgh to attend the Lucian’s birthday party.
Ezra had celebrated several birthdays growing up but had never experienced one with both his parents by his side. So when Ezra spotted his mother’s name on the guest list prepared by the housekeeper, he was over the moon.
Ezra wasted no time pulling out his phone watch and bombarding his beloved mother with messages.
Ezra, [Mom, Mom, I saw the guest list for the birthday party. You’ll be there, right?]
Ezra, [Mom, don’t you think your little prince looks dashing today? A gorgeous lady helped me with my styling!]
Ezra, [Mom, why are you ignoring me? Are you playing with Luci again?]
Asleep, Olivia was roused by the barrage of messages on her phone.
She switched on the screen, scrolling through Ezra’s messages one by one.
Finally, she paused at Ezra’s selfie. In the photo, he donned a velvet suit with a bow tie, looking like a mini version of William.
It would be great if William were as cute as Ezra.
Lost in thought, Olivia didn’t realize she’d drifted away.
Olivia examined each photo, grinning from ear to ear.
Her son was so handsome!
Olivia saved all the photos into her album.
Then, her delicate fingers flew across the phone keyboard as she crafted a response.
Olivia, [My super handsome baby boy, happy birthday!]
Ezra’s reply was instantaneous.
Ezra, [Thanks, Mom! Just transfer to my old card, please!]
Olivia, [Left on read…]
Olivia pocketed her phone and headed to the bathroom.
Olivia had another nightmare last night, tossing and turning in her sleep. Drenched in sweat, she felt downright lousy. After freshening up and heading downstairs, Olivia found Gideon and Reed had spruced up the living room well.
Before Olivia attended the birthday party, she was planning a small birthday bash for Luci at home.
Eyeing the now-bustling living room, Olivia was as pleased as punch. Rolling up her sleeves, she marched into the kitchen.
Today, Olivia was going to bake a birthday cake for Luci with her own two hands.
Although Olivia had prepped the cake base beforehand, the cream was made of pure plant-based ingredients suitable for patients, which called for extra care in storage and preparation.
Worried that she might be rusty, Olivia made sure to prepare well in advance.
Maybe it was her upbeat mood, but Olivia whipped out the cake base, sketched out the cream, and in no time flat, a cake with a cute Bally was ready.
At that moment, Reed gently wheeled Luci out of his sickroom.
“Happy birthday, Luci!”
Olivia stepped forward with the cake, lighting the candles for Luci to make a wish.

Luci looked at Olivia incredulously, as if asking how she knew today was his birthday.
“Luci, I made this cake myself. Do you like it?”
Made it herself?
When Lucian heard those words, his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
He’d seen on TV that only mommies make cakes for their babies on their birthdays.
Did Olivia consider him her own baby?
If Olivia could be his mom, he’d be on cloud nine.
Secretly thinking these thoughts, Lucian’s cheeks turned rosy as he looked at Olivia.
Lucian was happy, then he rarely cracked a smile and gave her a serious nod.
Seeing Lucian enjoying it, Olivia felt like a weight had been lifted off her chest.
When she made the cake before, Olivia had worried that the cute Bally might be too childish and that Luci would turn up his nose at it.
Turns out Olivia’d worried for nothing. Her little prodigy Luci still had a touch of childlike wonder in him.
Basking in her happiness, Olivia helped Luci hold the knife as they cut the cake together.
Lucian ate a generous slice for her sake.
In an instant, Olivia’s sense of accomplishment soared through the roof.
Though Luci still kept mum, Olivia could feel her bond with her son growing stronger by the day.
One day, she’d win Luci’s wholehearted trust!
Olivia had faith in herself!

Luci couldn’t sit for too long, so after eating the cake, he was forced to enjoy Reed’s mesmerizing dance and then headed back to his sickroom.
After racking her brain, Olivia still couldn’t pinpoint Lucian’s preferences, so she decided to open a stock account for him as a birthday gift.
Of course, to ensure the little guy had some fun, Olivia also deposited 15,000,000 dollars into the account.
Judging from Luci’s expression, Olivia felt he was quite pleased with her gift, which in turn made her feel on cloud nine. To avoid leaving Ezra feeling like a wallflower, Olivia also transferred 15,000,000 dollars into his account.
As soon as the transfer went through, Ezra excitedly popped up in the chat.
Ezra, [Thanks, Sugar Daddy!]
Olivia, [Mind your language.]
Ezra, [Thank you, Mommy. You’re the most beautiful in the whole wide world!]
Olivia, [Good boy-]
Ezra, [Mom, when are you coming over? Your darling boy misses you!]
Olivia, [I’m on my way.]
Ezra, [Waiting for you, XOXO!]
Olivia put away her phone and went upstairs to change. Seeing it was about time, she asked Gideon to take her to the Kinsman family’s villa.
At 5:50 in the afternoon.
Olivia arrived and stood at the entrance of the Kinsman family’s villa.
Luxury cars filled the parking lot, a testament to the who’s who of Melburgh that had gathered there.
The villa’s grand entrance was wide open with a plush red carpet extending from the doorway all the way inside; making quite a statement.
Olivia stood in front of the door, taking a deep breath.
This was the first time in five years that she had boldly stepped in front of the Kinsman family’s villa.

Chapter 64
Five years ago, it was here that Olivia had been ruthlessly abandoned.
Standing here now, Olivia felt the familiar heartache.
The ache reminded her of past humiliation.
“Miss Clarke, since you’re here, why don’t you go in?” A deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded in Olivia’s ear. She looked up and met the deep eyes of the speaker.
For a moment, Olivia panicked but quickly regained her composure.
“Mr. Kinsman, you’re in such high spirits to personally greet your guests?”
“Can’t help it. Since I’m inviting a wolf into my home, I have to be prepared in case it tries to bolt at the door.”
“Mr. Kinsman, aren’t you afraid of getting bitten?”
Td welcome it.”
