Chapter 51
Billionaire’s Missing Darling
Previously, at the Resort Hotel, Danielâs plan did not succeed. After knowing that Olivia had left early, his face darkened with anger for a day. The secretary and assistant were so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to speak loudly.
After sulking for the entire day, Daniel returned home at night and went straight into Andrewâs room.
Andrew was sitting on the ground playing Lego. When he saw Daniel coming in, he waved his little hands happily. âDaddy, come play with me.â Looking at happy Andrew, Daniel suddenly felt a surge of sadness. It was the sadness of a man who had no wife and was raising a child alone.
He worked hard to take care of Andrew. But his mother was leisurely. She would go overseas one moment and enjoy the hot spring the next. She did not care about them at all.
This son was useless!
Daniel could not help but vent his anger. Andrew did not know how to help at all.
He sat in front of Andrew and played Lego with him for a while. About five minutes later, he ran out of patience and reminded Andrew, âDidnât I teach you to be grateful?â
Andrew had always been serious about Danielâs words. Upon hearing this, he thought about it seriously for a moment before shaking his head. âNo, you didnâtâ¦â
Daniel was speechless.
His damned memory was just like his motherâs. It was very good. A child who was only a few years old had such a good memory and remembered everything clearly.
âDidnât I teach you?â Daniel changed his tone. âThen Iâll teach you now.â
âOkay.â Andrew sat down obediently. He was trying his best to be a wellâbehaved child who studied hard.
Daniel briefly explained the meaning of gratitude, which was to thank others for their help.
After saying that, he gave an example. âPreviously at the Resort Hotel, that beautiful sister, Olivia, took care of you and coaxed you to sleep. Shouldnât you thank her?â
Andrew was smart and quickâwitted. He immediately nodded. âI understand. This is called gratitude, butâ¦â He was a little conflicted.
âWhatâs wrong?â Daniel asked.
Andrew voiced out his dilemma. âI want to be grateful and thank Olivia. However, she is an adult now. I canât coax her to sleep as she did to meâ¦â At this point, Andrew was a little unhappy. He felt that he was useless. âYou donât have to coax her to sleep to thank her,â Daniel said patiently. âYou can call her to thank her. You can also give her a gift and treat her to dinner.â
The more Andrew listened, the brighter his eyes became. He sat up was about to run out.
âWhere are you going?â Daniel frowned and grabbed the back of Andrewâs collar.
Andrew stretched out his fair wrist. âGet my smartwatch and call Olivia!â His smartwatch was taken off by Zoe and placed on the coffee table in the living room.
âNo need.â Daniel took out his phone. âUse mine.â
Andrew took Danielâs phone with both hands and watched as he skillfully found a number to make a call.
âWhy do you have Oliviaâs number?â Andrew asked as he stared at the name stored in the address book.
He already knew some words. But he couldnât tell the word on Danielâs phone.
Andrew could speak English, but he did not know how to write. He only knew some simple words.
âWhat does this mean?â Andrew pointed at the words on it with his finger.
Daniel glanced at the word âHoneyâ and ignored Andrewâs question. He reminded him, âThe call is connected.â
Hearing this, Andrew quickly picked up his phone.
But before he could pick up the phone, Oliviaâs voice came from the other end of the phone. It was very loud.
Andrew blinked in surprise and found it strange. âWhen did Daniel put it on speaker?â he thought.
However, he could not care about that now because Oliviaâs voice had already come through.
âOlivia.â Andrew greeted her happily. âLast time, you accompanied me and coaxed me to sleep. I want to thank you, Olivia.â
Olivia was bored in Emmaâs room when she received a call from Andrew.
Her originally boring mood instantly brightened. She waved at Ethan and Emma before leaving and returning to her room.
Olivia realized that she really liked this little guy more and more. It had only been two days since they last met, and she was already missing him.
The two of them talked a lot on the phone.
Andrew said that he wanted to thank Olivia and give her a gift.
Olivia talked about her work and the Taylor familyâs matter.
Olivia didnât find Andrewâs topic childish, nor did Andrew find Oliviaâs topic difficult to understand.
The two of them chatted enthusiastically.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Daniel sat at the side and listened to Olivia and Andrewâs endless conversation. He felt upset even more.
This woman only spoke a few words to him. When he got closer, she stood up vigilantly.
But she was chatting happily with Andrew.
Daniel didnât want to listen anymore. He was afraid that he would be jealous, so he raised his hand and poked Andrew.
Andrew was quickâwitted and immediately understood what Daniel meant. He said sweetly to Olivia, âOlivia, where are you? I want to treat you to a meal.â
âMeal?â Olivia leaned against the sofa and sounded a little regretful. âI canât meet you for the next two days. Iâm at Stars Bay.â
Andrew knew about Stars Bay. He had gone there to play.
âAre you traveling?â
Olivia nodded. âYes. I came here to attend the blind date arranged by my family, Iâ¦â
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a beep and the call ended. Whatâs going on? Olivia was puzzled. She wanted to call back, but the other party was always on the line. She couldnât get through no matter what.
At the same time, Danielâs face darkened as he called his secretary and instructed him. âGet ready.
The teamâbuilding activitiesâ location should be set at Stars Bay.â
âTeamâbuilding activities?â The secretary was very confused. âWhen did he say that we wanted to teamâbuilding? Why didnât I know? The administrative department didnât say anythingâ¦â he thought.
Although he was very confused, the secretary was very professional and immediately agreed. âOkay, when are you going over?â
âToday.â
The secretary was speechless.
âBoss, you must be joking!
âToday? I havenât prepared anything yet!
âMoreover, today was almost over. The sky was about to turn darkâ¦â he thought.
With a long face, the secretary held back his tears and promised with tears in his eyes, âMr. Sullivan, donât worry. I guarantee that everything will be arranged.â
After hanging up, the secretary rushed to the office and shouted, âHurry up, now! Pack up your things in half an hour. Weâre going to Stars Bay for teamâbuilding today.â
What a joke! Everyone was dumbfounded.
In the Sullivan family.
Andrew was displeased with Danielâs sudden hanging up. He pouted his pink and tender lips and said, âDaddy, youâre very rude.â
Rude?
Daniel glanced at him. âNo matter how rude I was, it was not the time to talk about it! If weâre any later, your mother will be snatched by someone else!â he shouted in his mind.
He squatted down, picked up Andrew, and walked out.
âWhat are you doing?â Andrew was puzzled.
Daniel said, âWe are going to the Stars Bay.â
âTo look for Olivia?â Andrewâs eyes lit up.
Daniel raised his hand and patted Andrewâs fair cheek. He thought, âDear son. You have to work hard!
âIf you donât, your mother will be snatched away by someone else!â
