Chapter 824 Attentive
Lawrence explained, "It's not like that, you know how hard it was for Winnie and me to get the whole family together tonight. Isn't Mia missing you? Just bear with it and find a way to let Mia stay with you overnight. Besides, aren't you interested in Olivia?"
Jeremy said, "I'm not! Don't talk nonsense."
Under the light, Olivia didn't know what Jeremy was arguing about; she only saw Jeremy's ears, which seemed to be a bit red.
His profile was too good-looking, with glasses perched on his high nose bridge. At this moment, his frowning expression made him look a bit like a refined scoundrel.
He was quite cunning in bed. Wait. What was she thinking? Olivia quickly turned her face away.
Over there, Jeremy angrily hung up the phone, walked over, and looked at her, blurting out, "Lawrence won't let me go back tonight to bother him, I have nowhere to stay. Olivia, what do you say?"
"Huh?" Olivia swallowed, her face blushing.
Why was he asking her this? Was he planning to stay at her place tonight?
Looking into his eyes, Olivia didn't dare to let him stay, nor could she!
She quickly waved her hand to refuse, "But my place is too small, there's no room for anyone else."
"Mommy! This is a villa with eight rooms! You say there's no room for Jeremy, doesn't your conscience hurt?"Mia couldn't stand it anymore. How could Olivia be so stingy?
"Mia, shut up." Olivia wished she could cover Mia's mouth.
Jeremy's handsome face darkened, "I also saw the eight rooms, and Mia agrees that I can stay here."
"What opinion can Mia have?" Olivia glared at him with a red face.
"She's right, let's go with her opinion!"
He didn't necessarily have to stay, but he just liked talking to her, seeing her blush so cutely. Jeremy wanted to pinch her ears. Realizing his thoughts, he was startled.
Jeremy was momentarily dazed, not understanding what was happening to him.
Why, after regaining his memory, did he suddenly feel so familiar and happy with Olivia, wanting to be close to her?
Did something happen between them during the time he lost his memory?
His mind briefly stalled.
"What are you standing there for, Jeremy? I agree you can stay. After dinner, you have to tell me a story!" Mia patted his big hand.
Jeremy snapped back to reality and gave her a smile, "Okay, I'll tell you a story."
Olivia was silent.
Was she redundant? She seriously doubted it.
After dinner, Mia usually slept early, but with Jeremy here, she was particularly excited, playing with blocks and telling stories until ten o'clock. Olivia couldn't wait any longer and forcibly took Mia to the bathroom to bathe her.
Her chubby little body splashed around in the bathtub for a while.
After putting on her pajamas, she fell asleep in Olivia's arms.
Helplessly drying her hair, Olivia placed Mia on the bed in the bedroom and instructed the maid, "Please prepare a guest room for Jeremy and settle him in."
She lowered her eyes slightly, instinctively avoiding suspicion. After all, with him being a man staying in a house with them, and Mia already asleep, it would be inconvenient for her to entertain him alone.
"Okay, Ms. Smith. Once Mr. DeRoss is settled, I'll go to bed too. I'll clean the bathroom tomorrow. You should get some rest as well." The maid left.
Olivia rubbed her sore waist; taking care of Mia was exhausting.
She took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to shower.
At this moment, Mia suddenly opened her eyes on the bed.
She also had a smartwatch and immediately called Sidney, "Sidney, can you talk? Is Oscar there? I have a question for you."
Over at Lawrence's villa, Sidney glanced disdainfully at Lawrence, who was attentive to Winnie, and walked to the side, coolly saying, "What's the question?"
"Jeremy is back, but Mommy won't let me call him Daddy. But I want him to always be my Daddy, so I think the only way is for them to fall in love and get married, right?"
"Your logic is correct." Mainly, Sidney was also trying to matchmake Lawrence and Winnie, using the same method.
"So how can I make them fall in love?" Mia was troubled.
Sidney glanced at the distance, showing no reaction to Lawrence's tall, handsome figure and Winnie's cold demeanor.
He lowered his voice a bit, "Find a way to get them in the same room, create opportunities for them to be alone. For example, I'm dragging Oscar out now, and tonight, Oscar and I will find an excuse not to sleep with Mommy, giving Daddy a chance."
"A chance?" Mia didn't understand the term, but she instantly grasped Sidney's meaning.
"I know what to do! Thank you, Sidney. Once I get Mommy and Jeremy to fall in love, I won't be a kid without a Daddy anymore. Tonight, I'm going to do something big!" Mia said and hung up the phone.
"Wait, Mia, what big thing are you going to do?" Sidney was completely puzzled, holding the phone with a bewildered look.
Oscar walked over, looking at Sidney speechlessly, "Mia might have misunderstood you. Olivia and Jeremy aren't like Lawrence and Mommy. Why are you giving bad advice?"
"Is it all my fault? Didn't you teach Mia?" Sidney pouted at Oscar.
"But I didn't tell her to use it this way. You're teaching Mia to do bad things."
"I'm not! I'm just trying to help Mia have a dad."
Seeing the brothers about to argue, Winnie wanted to come out of the study, "Sidney, Oscar, what's going on?"
"Nothing." Lawrence's tall figure blocked her. Finally, the two kids gave him a chance to be alone, and he didn't want to miss it, "Weren't we going to discuss the Blanchet Group's business? Sidney and Oscar are just playing around. Winnie, your injury hasn't healed yet. Lie down, and I'll massage your leg."
"Don't touch me, it's not necessary." Winnie immediately avoided his hot hand.
Lawrence's Adam's apple moved slightly, looking particularly sexy under the light. Her mind wavered, feeling like the effects of the medicine hadn't worn off. Whenever he got close, she couldn't control herself.
She quietly forced back the blush on her face and could only sarcastically retort, "We're not close now, don't think you can do anything to me. Besides, you can't cure me, so I advise you not to provoke me. You'll be lonely for life."
Lawrence's face darkened, and his strong body suddenly approached her, "Don't force me to make love to you here! Tell me, did you feel good that night?"
