Chapter 823 She Looked So Gentle as a Mother
"Jeremy, don't you love steak the most? I knew you were coming, so I had the maid make it especially for you!"
Mia, who was just over two years old, was very smart and advanced in both language and motor skills. She was now using her little hands to hold utensils, climbing onto the table, and trying hard to put the steak on Jeremy's plate.
This made Olivia feel quite uncomfortable.
Mia had only recently learned to use utensils, and she had never given her mom a piece of steak before.
Olivia liked steak too.
Mia continued, "And this soup, Daddy, you should have some too. I'll get you a big drumstick!"
Olivia remained silent.
"Enough!" She was so jealous that she couldn't hide it anymore. She walked over and picked Mia up, who was almost climbing to the center of the table. "Are you trying to stuff him? If you give him all the meat, what am I supposed to eat?"
"You should eat less meat! You can't get any fatter, Mommy, please be a little self-aware," Mia pouted and said mercilessly.
Jeremy almost laughed so hard that his rimless glasses nearly fell off. His eyes flashed under the lenses, glancing deeply at Olivia's figure—curvy and full.
Jeremy quickly cleared his throat, picked up the utensils with his long fingers to cover his thoughts, "Let's get some soup for Mia. Can she eat it?"
"No, she can't really eat this." Olivia shook her head, stopping his hand.
She then served her the food that the maid had specially prepared for Mia.
Watching her skillful and meticulous actions, it was clear that this usually not-so-careful girl had transformed into a gentle mother at this moment. Tenderness radiated from her lovely face, and her gaze at Mia was gentle and soothing.
For the first time, Jeremy realized that Olivia, as a mother, was also very sexy.
In his impression, he had always thought she hadn't grown up, that she was just a good friend following Winnie around, and they used to have a good relationship without any feminine charm.
It turned out that, unknowingly, she had already changed.
Olivia was quite captivating.
Perhaps feeling Jeremy's gaze was a bit intense, Olivia glanced over with a slight blush on her cheeks, "Eat, what are you looking at?"
Jeremy cleared his throat again, hastily looking away, "I'm just supervising you, afraid you'll choke Mia."
Olivia was speechless.
She had raised Mia by hand, and he was acting like she was useless.
Olivia didn't want to argue with him anymore and sat down to eat.
At this moment, the phone on the table kept ringing with notifications.
Olivia picked it up to check; it was messages from Facebook, rolling in one after another: [Regarding Winnie's affair, a reporter interviewed an insider, Ms. Harper.]
[Ms. Harper stated that at a welcome party she hosted, she indeed heard some things, and something indescribable happened at the party. She wouldn't reveal who the main characters were.]
[But she had publicly expressed her liking for Mr. Rodriguez. In today's interview, Ms. Harper said she was very disappointed and sad!]
[Ms. Harper also advised some people to be mindful of their behavior even after getting married. It's one thing to disregard your own reputation, but at least don't ruin other people's parties.]
[Everyone is guessing, is Ms. Harper talking about Ms. Anderson because Ms. Anderson seduced Mr. Rodriguez and ruined her party?]
Angelina's interview caused a stir, pushing the topic of Winnie's affair video back to the headlines.
Just when the topic had calmed down a bit, it started to rise again.
"Bastard!" Olivia slammed her phone down in anger, "Angelina is still not giving up, doing an interview to attack Winnie!"
"Let me see." Jeremy frowned, reaching out his hand.
Olivia threw the phone into his large palm, fuming, "Winnie already warned her, but Angelina, this meddlesome woman, isn't afraid. She's mocking Winnie without naming names, but it's obvious that she's talking about Winnie and Lawrence!"
She added, "Angelina is a noble lady, so she naturally attracts attention. She's coming after Winnie, Rock must be laughing his head off in his bed."
Jeremy snorted, remaining calm, "She knows her influence is big, that's why she's upset about Lawrence and Winnie mocking her earlier. She wants to stir up trouble to make Lawrence regret it. But Lawrence will handle this."
"How will he handle it?" Olivia was skeptical, thinking for a moment before calling Winnie.
Over at Lawrence's villa.
Winnie was also having dinner with her two sons.
Hearing Olivia's anger, Winnie raised her eyebrows coldly, "I saw Angelina's interview. Her popularity can't be taken down immediately, after all, she's a Harper Family lady. But Lawrence immediately released my injury report."
"Rock might be happy about Angelina's actions, but he won't have time to be happy. My injury report and police report will directly get him summoned by the police."
"When netizens see him being summoned by the police for domestic violence, those who pity and support him will definitely reconsider."
Olivia said, "Your injury report? Then this matter will get ugly, your being beaten by him will be exposed."
Winnie nodded, her expression cold, "Lawrence said now is the right time to release it. Even if Rock goes to the police station, he has already found an excuse for himself, saying he had no choice but to hit me because I cheated on him. He will definitely complain to the police and apply for mediation."
She continued, "We don't need to worry about the ugliness of this matter. As long as he takes the bait on the investment agreement I throw out, that's all that matters."
Listening to Winnie's calm tone, Olivia's anger also subsided.
If Winnie wasn't angry, why should she be agitated?
Winnie and Lawrence had teamed up to create a big scheme, now it was just a matter of seeing if Rock would fall for it.
"Alright, let Angelina be used by Rock then." Olivia put down her phone and prepared to eat. Over there, Lawrence's deep voice came through, "Ms. Smith, Jeremy is with you, right?"
Olivia felt awkward, cleared her throat, "Mia wanted him to stay for dinner, is there something you need?"
"Give him the phone."
Olivia handed the phone over, puzzled.
Jeremy took it, turned off the speaker, and stood up thinking it was something urgent, "Lawrence, what's up?"
Lawrence's cold voice came through without any emotion, "Since you're at Olivia's house, stay there tonight. No need to come back!"
Damn, was he reminding him of this again?
Jeremy's handsome face darkened, gritting his teeth a bit, "I've given up everything for you, and now I don't even deserve a place to stay? You're too much."
