Billionaire’s Missing Darling by Theresa Wilde

Chapter 18

Olivia could not bear it any longer. She moved slightly to the side to pull away from Daniel.

Seeing her clumsy and rigid movement as she pulled away, Daniel’s eyes showed a trace of sadness. However, he quickly regained his composure. His expression was back to normal. He let go of Andrew and moved backward.

Now that Olivia got farther away from Daniel, she finally sighed in relief. She was completely relaxed.

“It’s probably because I have an ordinary face that lacks distinctive features, so you find me familiar,” Olivia said as she bent down to lift Andrew into her arms.

With Andrew in between her and Daniel, Olivia’s expression relaxed somewhat.

She thought, “It’s strange, though. This Daniel is entirely different from what I heard in those rumors.

“Everybody says he likes to wear black clothes, but he’s wearing a pink shirt today.” Olivia had always had a soft spot for pink. She especially liked men wearing pink clothes.

She felt that it would soften the masculine vibe. Still, this pink shirt on Daniel did not neutralize his cold and stern demeanor and accentuated his powerful and imposing presence even more.

“Ordinary face?” Daniel said as he chuckled. He lowered his head to touch the pink–diamond cufflinks on his sleeves. “Ms. Taylor, you’re too lacking in confidence about your appearance,” he continued.

Olivia thought, “Is he complimenting me?”

Olivia smiled and said, “Thank you.”

“Well, I should be the one to say thank you,” Daniel said with his hands in his pockets, his narrow eyes glancing sideways at Olivia. “You don’t like kids, yet you agreed to Andrew’s mischievous invitation and came over to accompany him.”

She thought, “When did I stop liking kids?”

Olivia felt that Daniel was acting strangely. His tone was somewhat

sarcastic.

She was not someone without a temper. It was just that she dealt with Daniel courteously out of consideration for Andrew. Unexpectedly, Daniel’s behavior became more and more inappropriate.

“I really like kids,” she said. Her tone was unpleasant.

“Is that so?” Daniel said as he chuckled twice. His voice suddenly turned serious. His gaze toward Olivia carried a piercing sense of intensity that was uncomfortable to look at. “Would a person that abandons her husband and child like kids as well?”

Olivia thought, “What exactly is he talking about?”

Olivia’s temper flared up as well. She coldly said, “Whoever you accuse of abandoning her husband and child, go look for her then. Don’t take your anger out on me for no reason. I’m just here as a guest invited to come over. If you do not welcome me, I’ll leave right now.”

Daniel carefully scrutinized Olivia’s expression. He frowned slightly, and his gaze was filled with doubt.
