Even After Death

Willow nodded obediently, but her wary eyes stared at the man as he approached her.

She heard the local had tanned skin from sunbathing, but this man looked weird.

As it was his first time dealing with a kid, Wayne took out a candy. "Here, for you." He had prepared it beforehand.

To his dismay, Willow had already categorized him as a kidnapper. Abandoning her ball, she turned around to leave. "Hey, kid! Why are you running away? I don't bite. You don't like strawberry flavor?" Wayne grabbed her wrist.

Due to his towering stature, even a grown woman looked petite next to him, let alone Willow.

He scooped her up with one arm as if she were a doll. His frantic hands fished out a bunch of lollipops. "I have more flavors-watermelon, mango, orange. Here, they're all yours."

Alan, who was watching them from afar, went speechless. "Mr. Maxwell is a total novice in babysitting. If a freak came up to me when I was a kid, I would've been scared. Can't he see that the girl is freaked out? She must be thinking that he's a kidnapper."

"I just don't know what's good about that woman. Why can't he get over her? It's been so long." Ike had never liked Olivia. Forget about having a good impression of her, he now bore a lot of opinions against her.

Alan thought differently. He rested his cheek on his palm. "Speaking of, Willow does look pretty. She's basically the younger version of Ms. Fordham. Look at those eyes. They're so special. And she seems like a child who behaves. People can't help but to pamper her.

"Mr. Maxwell has always been deeply in love with Ms. Fordham, and the girl looks like Ms. Fordham. I bet he wishes he could reach the stars just for her."

Ike snorted, annoyed. In fact, he didn't hate Olivia. Fairly speaking, she was undoubtedly a capable person.

However, she was married to Ethan!

In that sense, Ike figured that Wayne was out of her league.

However, Wayne sprang from a humble origin. He jumped through hoops to come this far. He didn't mind all that.

Willow was frightened. She shook her head profusely and gestured that she didn't like sweets.

Yet, Wayne didn't stop there. Not only did he take out more candies, he attempted to feed her forcefully!

"Try 'em. They're sweet. Kids love 'em..."

She guessed that he had done something to the candies and that she would faint after eating them. Then, he would take her away!

She thought, "Kidnappers these days are getting bolder! How could they kidnap someone in broad daylight?"

Hence, she no longer held herself

back. She grabbed his arm and bit him aggressively. Despite her self-assumingly aggressive attack, her little bite didn't do a thing to his muscular arm.

He lifted her by the back of her collar with one hand. "Don't break your teeth, kid."

Frus she began moving her

at her while smiling.

So like your mother."

He said that softly, so soft that only both of them could hear that.

Willow's eyes widened as she was shocked that he knew Olivia.

At that moment, a cold voice cut through the air. "Let go of my daughter."

Wayne turned around. Although he had put on makeup, Olivia could recognize him right away. Who else could this tall man be? How could she not tell from his awkward attempt to please a little girl?

Wayne gazed at her deeply. Her hair was tied up, and she was clad in local clothes. A white flower was on her ear.

It had been a long time since he last heard of her.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

It wasn't easy to meet her.
