Chapter 319 She Is So Suitable
Aurelia listened to her father's words thoughtfully.
Perhaps Andrew chose a woman like Olivia because Olivia went along with everything he said.
Then she could do that too!
Aurelia immediately said, "I understand."
Lawrence knew his daughter had always been smart, so he didn't say more.
He just felt sorry about the project they had just lost.
Thinking about this, he simply made a phone call, planning to talk with Andrew.
However, when the call went through, David answered. "Mr. Kingsley, what can I do for you?"
David was the one handling the project.
He naturally knew what Lawrence wanted by calling at this time.
He was just playing dumb.
Lawrence asked on the other end, "What is Andrew doing right now? I have something I want to talk to him about, regarding the Kingsley family's recent project."
After David let him finish, he said directly, "Mr. Hamilton is busy. When he's free, I'll pass on the message."
Lawrence could tell from David's tone that he was being dismissive.
He immediately realized that Andrew was determined to punish the Kingsley family.
He began to feel dissatisfied with Andrew.
This young man was capable, sure, but he was too cold and heartless, showing no consideration for relationships.
So many years of family friendship meant less than one woman!
But in front of David, Lawrence didn't dare say much. He could only respond, "Alright then, thanks for your help."
David hung up directly.
Andrew didn't care how the Kingsley family judged him, and paid no more attention to their affairs.
After finishing work during the day, he left the company early in the afternoon to pick up Bianca from school with Olivia.
When they arrived, Bianca was already waiting eagerly at the kindergarten entrance.
As soon as she saw Andrew and Olivia get out of the car, Bianca immediately ran over on her little legs. "Daddy! Mommy!"
Andrew caught Bianca and picked her up.
Olivia also pinched her cheek and asked with a smile, "Baby, how was school today? Did you get used to it?"
Bianca smiled sweetly and answered in a soft voice, "I missed you all morning, but felt better in the afternoon. All the kids are really nice."
At this moment, the teacher who had been with Bianca also said with a smile, "Bianca was very good today. She did cry a bit when she woke up from her nap and didn't see you, but she recovered quickly. She got along well with the other children, and everyone really likes her."
Olivia wasn't surprised to hear this.
Children can be uncomfortable in strange environments.
She had expected Bianca might cry.
But it was already better than she had imagined.
She smiled and said to the teacher, "Thank you for your hard work."
The teacher shook her head and said, "It's what we should do. Besides, I really like Bianca. She's especially smart. Today the other teachers gave her some test questions, and she got them all right. Very impressive! She came in first place!"
After hearing this, Olivia felt proud of Bianca.
She looked back at Bianca and found her already lifting her chin, showing off to Andrew, saying, "The teacher said I'm the best!"
Andrew pinched her nose and agreed, "Yes, you're the best!"
The three said goodbye to the teacher and got in the car together.
As soon as they got in the back seat, Bianca stretched out her chubby little hand and said, "The teacher also gave me a reward!"
Olivia looked down and saw a small badge on Bianca's wrist. It was very pretty.
She praised generously, "Getting a badge on your first day, that's amazing!"
Andrew took spoiling his child to the extreme. He rubbed her little head and asked, "Bianca, what gift would you like? Being so brave on your first day of school deserves a reward."
Hearing this, Bianca's eyes lit up. She looked at Andrew expectantly and asked, "Really?"
Andrew nodded and said with a warm smile, "Of course."
Bianca was thrilled and immediately told Andrew, "Then I want a set of paintbrushes!"
"Okay."
Andrew readily agreed, saying, "I happen to have lots of paintbrushes I bought from abroad, many still unopened. After dinner tonight, I'll take you back to choose."
Bianca nodded happily and said, "Okay, thank you, Daddy!"
"No need to thank me." Andrew continued chatting with her, asking about how she got along with the other kids at school today.
Bianca answered every question, clearly and logically telling everything from start to finish.
She showed no signs of her previous autism.
After listening for a while and seeing that she seemed quite excited about her future school life, Olivia finally felt relieved.
Her Bianca could finally go to school and interact with others like a normal child!
All of this was because of Andrew.
It would be a lie to say Olivia wasn't grateful.
If not for his suggestion, she might still be treating Bianca as a sick child and sending her to a special school.
Perhaps that would have truly been bad for the child's condition.
Later, Andrew took them both to a restaurant he had reserved in advance.
When they went in, Benjamin was already there.
But what Olivia didn't expect was that Evelyn was also there.
She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
Evelyn said with a smile, "Mr. White invited me!"
Benjamin smiled and said, "Eating together is more fun with more people."
After speaking, he walked forward, took Bianca, and said, "Bianca, you haven't forgotten me, have you?"
Of course Bianca hadn't forgotten. She nodded and said, "Mr. White, hello."
Benjamin responded happily, "Hello, Bianca, you're so good!"
He carried her to their seat to order food.
Olivia and Andrew sat down across from them.
Looking at Benjamin, he seemed different from that night at the party.
He had returned to his usual warm and friendly self, with his cold and ruthless side tucked away.
Olivia guessed it was probably because those people at the party had been hostile toward him.
So he needed to show his teeth to avoid being bullied.
But here, among his own people, he could take off his mask and pretense.
Olivia thought this was good.
She had also faced a lot of hostility and understood too well the feeling of having warm people around.
While lost in thought, she heard Benjamin calling her, "I ordered a few of the restaurant's specialties. Ms. Smith, take a look and see if there's anything else you'd like to add."
So she took the menu and ordered a few dishes that Andrew, Evelyn, and Bianca liked.
Evelyn chimed in, "Mr. White, you're really a great person. Especially last time at the party, when you didn't hesitate to tell everyone about Olivia and Mr. Hamilton's relationship—that felt so good."
At this, she casually put her arm around Benjamin's shoulder and said, "A lot of people outside gossip about Olivia's status and her relationship with Mr. Hamilton. I'm really glad you don't think that way. I'm definitely keeping you as a friend!"
Benjamin found her bold manner amusing.
The reason he could tell everyone about Olivia and Andrew's relationship without hesitation was because he knew how much Andrew cared about her.
He also knew Andrew had gone to great lengths to bring Olivia to Harmony City.
Having grown up together, this was the first time he'd seen Andrew care so much about someone.
Not to mention, he had interacted with Olivia back in Emerald City and knew what kind of person she was.
Unlike those hypocrites, he didn't think she wasn't good enough for Andrew.
On the contrary, she was perfect for him!
Her looks, abilities, and background—which of these was inferior to those rich heiresses who only knew how to compare themselves to others?
Not to mention, there was also the adorable Bianca.
When others looked down on her, he saw Bianca as a plus.
Such a cute baby—if Andrew treated her like his own daughter, he would naturally treat her like family too.
However, there was no need to say all this. He just smiled and replied, "Anyone Andrew chooses is naturally the best."
Then he said to Evelyn, "I'll be your friend too! Come on, let's toast!"
"Okay, cheers!" Evelyn wasn't shy at all and immediately filled both their glasses.
Olivia found this amusing and couldn't help reminding her, "Do you remember you're a woman?"
Evelyn downed her drink, put down the glass, and replied to Olivia, "I know, but that doesn't stop me from being friends with Mr. White, right? Besides, we're going to work on a project together. Our relationship is even closer now!"
Olivia wanted to remind her that the word "closer" seemed inappropriate for friends.
But the two in front of her started drinking again, so she could only smile helplessly.
Andrew, however, hearing that they were going to collaborate, asked, "What are you two working on together?"
Evelyn and Benjamin didn't hide anything and immediately told him about their project.
By the time the food arrived, Andrew had already given them several solid suggestions based on their collaboration.
They chatted while eating, and dinner ended just like that.
When leaving the restaurant, Evelyn planned to go drinking with Benjamin. She waved at Olivia, "I won't disturb your family of three."
Olivia was used to her teasing and only reminded her, "You're a girl, don't drink too much."
Benjamin immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. I definitely won't let anything happen to her!"
Olivia naturally trusted Benjamin.
So they said goodbye.
After they left, Olivia followed Andrew to his place.
