Chapter 362


    Avery got on a few rides with Olive. He received a call from Charlotte saying they had arrived with


    Sheryl.


    It wasn''t easy to find each other in the vast sea of people, let alone follow someone. It took them


    quite a while to find each other. Charlotte froze when she saw the phone and map in Olive''s hand.


    "Are you going to let her go alone?"


    "Let Sheryl go along then. She has a phone anyway." Avery looked at Olive and asked, "What do


    you think?"


    "I''m fine. Do you want to y with me?" Olive looked at Sheryl with sparks in her eyes.


    Sheryl was in a dilemma. She really wanted to be with her mom and dad but she also knew that


    they had to discuss business with Uncle Avery. She wouldn''t have fun with them, she might even


    create more trouble for them...


    Olive was smart. She immediately said, "Since Sheryl doesn''t want to go, it''s fine for me to go by


    myself."


    "It''s not that I don''t want to, I just think..." Sheryl bit her lower lip. "It''s not easy for me to spend time


    with my mom and dad now. I know they''re very busy but I still want to stay with them for a while


    longer."


    Charlotte suddenly felt guilty. She just wanted to bring Olive and Sheryl out to y. The first reason


    was so they could have fun and the second was to avoid any attention from the Stevens family.


    However, she never thought of it from the child''s point of view.


    Charlotte knelt down and pulled Sheryl into her arms. She said in a soft voice, "After today, let''s go


    have a vacation in the city next door, okay? Your great-grandma also said she wanted to go on a


    holiday."


    "Really?" Sheryl looked at her hopefully. "You can''t break your promise. Also, can Olivee with


    us?"


    Olive knew of Charlotte and Shane''s fake fallout with Avery. She also knew it was one of the


    reasons they met at this amusement park. Avery had told her everything but he didn''t care if she


    understood it or not. She didn''t know she should thank him or resent him for not caring about


    whether her brain could process this information.


    But no matter what, she could not go on a trip with Sheryl.


    Olive said, "Well, I won''t go on the trip. We can have fun today. You can follow me or you can stick


    with your parents. You can''t have both. Besides, travelling would dy my studies. I don''t have the


    time."


    Sheryl felt upset all of a sudden. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Olive''s clothes. "We had


    such a good timest time. Don''t you want to go out with me?"


    "Let''s go y first and leave the adults alone. We can slowly talk then."


    "Hmm? Alright."


    Olive was about to leave with Sheryl, Shane quickly stopped them. He passed Sheryl''s phone to her


    and put 300 dors in her bag. Sheryl sweetly said, "Thank you, daddy!"


    "Go ahead."


    "All right."


    Sheryl scampered off with Olive.


    "Olive..." Charlotte sighed, "She''s too mature. I didn''t expect her to stand in our shoes and think for


    us."


    "I told her about our fallout. That''s why she rejected the idea of travelling together." Avery watched


    as the children left, there was a trace of sadness in his heart. "She''s a good kid. But she''s too


    sensible, it''s frightening." "Even you would feel afraid. It was quite normal for the previous family to


    return her back."


    "Well, so I never med them. Instead, it was because of them that I could adopt Olive. I really


    have to thank you for this. If it wasn''t for her, I don''t know how I could''ve got through these times."


    Speaking of this matter, Charlotte''s eyes darkened. "Peter and Zoe are both fine. It should be a


    good thing, but they actually attacked Peter and Zoe. We can''t let our guard down anymore. This


    time, we came to talk to you about this. Braden will tell you the details. I''ll give you a general idea."


    "It''s not Mr. Fuller''s idea?" Avery frowned. He didn''t really trust Braden.


    It was not that he didn''t trust him.


    He knew that anyone around Charlotte and Shane would be worthy of his trust but Braden was too


    unreliable. He was a happy-go-lucky guy that has never done anything seriously in his life so...

    "It''s a good idea," Shane said calmly.


    "Are you sure?"


    "I don''t like it but you will."


    Avery wanted to say that if Shane didn''t like it, how could he like it?


    But on second thought, he didn''t really have anything inmon with Shane. He immediately


    understood what he meant. "Let''s sit down and talk. When will Bradene over?"


    "Around lunchtime. Speaking of this... I hope the two girls remember to eat."


    "We''ve given them so much money. It''s impossible that they would forget," Avery said with a smile.


    Moms just like to worry. He and Shane didn''t have so many concerns as fathers.


    Olive made a detailed n which included the rides with the least people and the rides that were


    the most fun. Of course, since the both of them had VIP passes, they didn''t need to wait in line. The


    difference in the waiting time was about 5 to ten minutes.


    "It''s nice to have money," Olive sighed as she looked at the golden card in her hand.


    "I heard from my mommy that you used to live a hard life." Sheryl did not use the word ''poor''


    because she knew that it would hurt people.


    However, Olive said with a smile, "It''s not hard but poor. It''s fine. You don''t have to care about my


    feelings. I''m really used to it. I know that I''m poor and my family is poor. We can''t even afford a cup


    of water if we came here, let alone the VIP pass."


    "Olive..." Sheryl''s heart ached for her.


    "It really doesn''t matter."


    "I know you don''t mind it but I do. At least I need to consider your feelings even if others don''t. After


    all, we only have each other now." Sheryl put down her hand and gently held Olive''s hand.


    Olive froze for a moment. Then, she burst intoughter. "I''m really fine," Olive said. "If I have to say


    something, it would be that I disliked you a little when I first met you."


    "It''s normal, after all, I''m so cute."


    "Yes, you''re so cute."


    Right then, it was their turn to go on the ride. The staff were extra cautious and as it was just the two


    of them. They were very well- behaved and nodded along at the staff''s instructions. Finally, they got


    into the ride.


    After they went through several rides, it was already noon.


    "I''m so hungry." Sheryl rubbed her stomach.


    "Do you want to eat something?"


    "Okay." Sheryl picked up the map and said, "Let me see where we should go. Hey, it''s said there


    are different types of foods ording to the areas. There''s BBQ here, the others only have


    hamburgers." "All right.


    Olive looked over and typed in the coordinates into her cell phone. Then she followed the


    navigation.


    The owner didn''t want to serve them at first when they arrived but they couldn''t refuse when they


    saw the children have money.


    "Kids, aren''t you with your parents?"


    Two people dressed like college students came over and asked.


    Olive wanted to say something but Sheryl pointed at her brooch and said, "My dad will find me


    through the GPS so don''t worry. Thank you for your kindness. We''re going to have lunch now."


    The two of them were stunned at first, then they smiled awkwardly.


    "Do you know who they are?" Olive asked with a frown.
