Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Mom, she pushed me!" Jay cried out loud.

Olive continued reading her book without any change of expression. Her indifference was similar to that of a judge. Only the supreme judge who was always at the top of the pyramid would showcase such an expression.

"Maybe she didn't mean it. You are a boy. You can't cry." Elaine knew that she couldn't offend Avery, so she tried her best to comfort her son.

"She did it on purpose. I only asked her what book she was reading, and she left just like that. I wanted to stop her, but she hit me!"

Jay actually didn't have a bad temper, but anyone who got beaten would naturally feel insulted. Jay kept crying and almost threw a tantrum. Avery scratched his ear, placed his hand on Olive's shoulder, and asked, "What happened?"

"He was trying to snatch my book, biting off more than he can chew," Olive said as she closed the book. "Master, do I have to settle my own problem?"

"Go ahead."

With Avery's permission, Olive stepped forward and looked at Jay, who was hugging his mother.

She said without hesitation, "Are you five years old at least? What else do you know other than crying? Do you have to snatch my book just because I didn't want to let you see it? If I don't hit you, who else am I supposed to hit?"

"I just wanted to ask what you were reading..."

"Why should I tell you? Who told you that I would respond if you talk to me?"

Jay didn't know what to say at the moment. Shouldn't a person reply when another person talked to them? Everyone treated him like that, so why was it different when it came to her?

Olive continued, "This is Mr. Avery's and my home. You don't have the right to snatch our things. You also don't have the right to ask me to do what I don't want to do. So I'm sorry. Please leave."

This incident happened at the right time. Their discussion had already come to an end after all. Elaine really should go home with Jay.

Elaine felt unusually agitated in the presence of Olive. Hence, she did not stay any longer and left with Jay.

"I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble."
