Chapter 382

Not only Erina’s looks but even her personality was the opposite of Connor’s.

The little girl’s eyes were filled with enmity toward Olivia. She was young, but she knew everything.

Mina hastily said, “I’m so sorry, Ms. Fordham. Erina is shy, so she doesn’t like strangers getting close

to her.”

Olivia had already retracted her hand. She wouldn’t blame the child for her hate toward Olivia. But

since Erina hated her, she wouldn’t try to please Erina, either.

Their relationship was quite odd. Connor was Marina’s child as well, but Olivia felt a sense of familiarity

when she first met him.

“It’s okay, she’s just a child. But what about you?”

Olivia looked at Mina’s leg. “Is your leg okay?”

Back on the ship, Jack had shot Mina.

Mina smiled. “Thank you for your concern, Ms. Fordham. I wasn’t seriously hurt. I’ve already rested and

recuperated for a few months.

“Even though the injured nerves need time to heal, it won’t affect how I take care of the children.”

By the looks of it, Jack had been merciful. If not, Mina’s leg would’ve been done for.

“I’m glad that you’re fine.”

Olivia set Connor down. Connor had grown a lot, so he felt heavy in her arms. The only thing that

hadn’t changed about him was his tendency to drool.

Reaching out, Olivia pinched him on the nose. “Look at all that drool, little guy.”

Grinning, Connor revealed his snowy white teeth. A light dimple appeared on his left cheek.

It wasn’t obvious before, but now, Olivia could see it. She was puzzled. Ethan and Marina

didn’t have dimples, so it didn’t make sense for Connor to have one.

Avery’s face suddenly popped up in Olivia’s mind. When he smiled, he had a dimple on his left cheek

as well.

Olivia shook her head. She didn’t know where her mind was going.

This trait probably skipped a generation or two as it was being passed down.

“Mommy, play ball.” Connor held a small yellow ball in his arms. It was the ball he had played with

Olivia before.

Mina took Erina to the couch to change her diapers. Smiling, she explained, “Master Connor likes to

play ball with me at home. When he’s upset, he sulks while hugging the yellow ball.

“He would put it next to him even when he was sleeping. When I was packing up for him today, he kept

holding it in his arms.”

Olivia felt guilty when she heard that. She recalled the night when she lured the child out with the

yellow ball. She almost jumped into the ocean with Connor in her arms.

But Connor didn’t know about these things. He only knew that he was happy to see Olivia again.

His heart was filled with Olivia, and he only had eyes for her. His eyes glimmered.

Olivia kissed him on the forehead. “What a silly little guy.”

Connor gripped her clothes with his little hands. He even nuzzled against her chest, looking quite

obedient.

Mina was stunned. “I’ve never seen Master Connor being so attached to someone before.”

“Isn’t he like this at home?” Olivia asked.

Mina shook her head. “Not at all. Master Connor developed faster than Ms. Erina, and he’s smart as

well. He could say ‘Daddy’ when he was just a few months old.

“Mrs. Miller kept trying to get Master Connor to call her ‘Mommy’, but he never did.”

Olivia was stunned when she heard that. “Doesn’t he call everyone ‘Mommy’?”

Mina smiled. “You must be joking, Ms. Fordham. Master Connor is very smart. I’ve been taking care of

him ever since a few days after his birth. Ever since learning how to talk, he would call

me Ms. Mina.

“Six months ago, he started mumbling ‘Mommy’ sometimes, and even in his sleep too. But he refused

to call Mrs. Miller that in front of her. Mrs. Miller would always be pissed off by that.”
