Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 67

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Emma, Lola, and the others had always worked together to embarrass the other party. They had never been humiliated by other people like this.

No matter how scheming a girl was, she still had her pride, especially in front of the two handsome men.

Lola’s eyes instantly turned red and she almost cried.

If Andrew had not spoken up, Lola would not have been able to stay. Just as everyone was silent, Andrew, who was leaning against Olivia’s leg, raised his head and asked curiously, “Olivia, what’s a boat?”

Hearing this, Olivia thought of something and squatted down. “Andrew, do you want to play?”

Andrew wanted to go, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Although he was young, Andrew could understand the tone when people talked. Olivia did not like the three girls opposite her, so Andrew was a little hesitant.

The little boy lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, not saying a word. Olivia did not understand what a child was thinking. Seeing that Andrew did not speak, Olivia asked again, “Andrew, do you want to go? If you do, let’s go and see the lotus.”

The lotus!

Was it really okay?

Andrew looked up at Daniel.

Sensing his son’s questioning gaze, Daniel wanted to refuse. Daniel was unwilling to let so many third wheels disturb his rare opportunity to get along with Olivia.

However, in front of Olivia, Daniel had always been a good father. How could Daniel ruin his persona?

Hence, Daniel nodded. “If you want to go see, I’ll come with you.”

When he spoke, Daniel even smiled. He showed the image of a good father.

After receiving his father’s permission, Andrew was overjoyed. He asked

excitedly, “Olivia, have you seen a boat before? Are we going to swim in the water?”

Olivia thought for a moment and replied, “A boat floats in the water.”

Because of Andrew, the crowd that was about to disperse went to the boat together.

Lola was still feeling awkward and didn’t want to go. However, Elaine and Emma had already boarded the boat. It wasn’t good for Lola to leave on her own. Lola could only lower her head and brace herself to follow.

Lola was really afraid of Olivia.

Olivia was completely different from what Emma had said. Not only was Olivia cold, but she was also imposing.

Lola had never seen such a powerful person.

With a glance, Lola felt her heart tremble.

The group of them boarded the boat to see the lotus. When they reached the lotus, they could change to a two–person boat and row the boat to the lotus pond.

Andrew was excited and reached out to touch the lotus leaf.

Daniel said, “I’ll take you to row a boat.”

Olivia was surprised. “You know how to row?”

Daniel tidied his sleeves. His expression was calm as he said casually, “A little.”

The staff at the lotus pond quickly brought over a small boat. Daniel went up first, then carried Andrew over. Finally, he patted Andrew’s arm without anyone noticing, indicating Andrew to call Olivia.

Before Andrew could understand, Elaine, who had been silent all this while, suddenly asked, “Mr. Sullivan, can you teach me how to row a boat?”

The indifferent little girl seemed to be very embarrassed. When Elaine said this, her face turned red. “I like rowing very much, but I haven’t had the chance to learn it. Coincidentally, Mr. Sullivan, you know how to row. Can you teach me?”

After saying that, Elaine looked up at Daniel with anticipation in her eyes. Originally, Olivia wanted to follow Andrew and Daniel on the boat. Olivia was worried about Andrew, but this small boat was only big enough for

two or three people. If Elaine went on board, there would be no place for Olivia.

Olivia subconsciously took a step back. She felt that it would be fine if she paid more attention to Andrew. Besides, there were many staff members nearby.

Just as Olivia was retreating, Daniel pursed his lips and said, “There’s still a child on the boat. It’s not convenient. Ms. Homes, you don’t know how to row the boat. What if you overturn the boat after coming up?”

Elaine choked and quickly corrected herself. “I know a little, but I’m not very familiar with it.” As she spoke, Elaine smiled at Daniel. “I like rowing so much. I’ve rowed before, but I don’t row much. That’s why I want to learn from you, Mr. Sullivan.”

This time, Daniel did not refuse. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and sized Elaine up carefully.

Elaine’s heart raced when she saw Daniel’s gaze. She clenched her fingers tightly and forced herself to calm down. Elaine said yearningly, “I like rowing a small boat in the water the most. I feel like a small fish, free and easy.”

Upon hearing this, Daniel nodded and agreed. “Little boat is indeed very interesting.”

Seeing that Daniel agreed with her, Elaine was delighted. She hurriedly took a step forward and planned to board the small boat.

However, just as she walked to the side of the boat, Elaine saw Daniel wave his right hand, and a staff member brought another small boat over. Daniel pointed at the small boat and recommended, “This is Coach Wane. He can row very well. He will definitely teach you to be as proficient and free as a fish.”

Elaine was speechless.

“Pfft!” Lola couldn’t help but laugh out loud. When she saw Elaine looking over, Lola quickly covered her mouth and shook her head. What Lola wanted to say was, “I’m not a spy, I’m not laughing at you!”

Olivia looked at Elaine with a smile.

Olivia was not sure if Daniel really did not understand or if he did it on purpose. The lady did not mean to row the boat at all. Instead, Elaine wanted to be in the same boat as him.

Sensing everyone’s laughter, Elaine was very embarrassed. Elaine’s face turned pale, but Daniel acted as if he couldn’t see it. Daniel even urged in all seriousness, “Ms. Homes, why aren’t you getting on the boat? Don’t you like to row?”

Helpless, Elaine could only grit her teeth and step onto the boat to learn how to row with Coach Wane.

Daniel acted completely considerate. When he saw Elaine board the boat, he even said to Coach Wane, “Take her over there. It’s a big place over there. You can row more freely.”

The man pointed to the distant southwest with a look of concern on his face. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Just like that, Coach Wane rowed the boat and brought Elaine along. They rowed until they reached the southwestern part of the lake. They rowed so far that they could not be seen at all.

Looking at the further and further away Elaine, Daniel nodded and sighed. “Coach Wane is indeed a professional coach. He rowed really fast. This time, Ms. Homes can row happily.”

Hearing this, Olivia lowered her head and chuckled.

Lola’s mouth was wide open from shock. How could Daniel be so insensitive?

The remaining Ethan and Emma were completely dumbfounded. They did not know what to say.

Because of the delay, Olivia did not board the boat. Daniel brought Andrew around the lotus pond. With the help of the staff, they picked a small lotus seed pod.

As if presenting a treasure, Andrew raised his small hand and wanted to pass the lotus seed pod to Olivia.

Olivia walked to the side of the boat and did not take the lotus seed pod. Instead, she reached out to carry Andrew, intending to carry him up.

Just as Olivia was about to grab Andrew’s armpit, a huge weight suddenly

came from behind Olivia and slammed into her.

Olivia’s stomach hit the side of the boat and she trembled in pain. Then, Olivia lost her balance and fell straight into the lake with Andrew.
