So Olivia didn't realize the cushions were the reason Emma and Marcus didn't sit down.

Emma was the first to sit, and to her surprise, the cushions were very soft. Then she hurriedly told Marcus to sit and even glared at him.

Marcus rubbed his nose with embarrassment and finally sat down.

"Ollie, are you the one who decorated the place?"

"Yeah," said Olivia. She nodded. "I like this kind of style. It doesn't look dull, and it makes me happy."

"Not at all; it's adorable. It's normal for young girls like you to like this kind of design."

As Emma adored Olivia, she'd praise her every opportunity she got. Then she nudged Marcus.

Following her lead, Marcus also smiled genuinely. "Yes, it's normal for youngsters like you to like this kind of design."
