Chapter 147 The Beautiful Lamb
Chapter 147 The Beautiful Lamb
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
Olivia Walker shouted happily. She spread her arms and threw herself into Oliver Walker's arms.
Perhaps for other children, it might be rare for their fathers to come and pick them up from school but they would never be so excited.
However, for Olivia Walker, it was a different story. Such opportunities were rare.
She would never forget how she felt when she was called a 'little rascal'' by others before her father returned.
She would also never forget the scene of her hiding in a corner and secretly crying on her own!
That was why she didn't care about the strange looks that were cast at her.
When she was at home, she didn't dare to call her father because her grandmother and mother didn't like him.
But now, she just wanted to shout it out loud!
Adults had their own worries and children would also have their own thoughts. They all had their own needs.
What she needed was the long-lost fatherly love!
"Did you listen to your teacher in school today?"
Oliver Walker picked up his daughter and checked her pulse inadvertently. When he found that everything was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
His daughter's health was his greatest concern.
Fortunately, Hendric Smith solved his concerns.
"I have been a good girl!"
Olivia Walker coyly touched her father's forehead, "If you don't believe me, you can ask teacher Lily!
She was enjoying the wonderful time now.
She wanted to let her father know that she was an obedient child.
Then, Lily Jones came over and said, "Olivia has always been a good girl but since you're back, I hope you can spend some time with her.
"After all, no one can replace a father's love."
These words made Oliver Walker feel ashamed. He then laughed and said, "I will!"
"Thank you for taking care of Olivia. I'll treat you to a meal some other day!"
This wasn't a polite remark. It came from the bottom of his heart.
Plus, he never liked being hypocritical.
It was clear that the teacher-student relationship between Lily Jones and Olivia was really good!
"No need to trouble yourself!
Lily Jones smiled as she said, "Olivia, you must be good when you get home!"
Olivia Walker nodded, "Got it, Ms. Lily!"
Oliver Walker smiled and started walking back home with his daughter.
When they walked past a toy store at the entrance of the neighbourhood, Olivia Walker saw a child walking out with a beautiful lamb. She had an envious look on her face.
In fact, when Oliver Walker bought it the last time, it got thrown away because of his wife's misunderstanding.
"Why don't we go to the toy store and take a look?" Oliver Walker asked gently.
Olivia Walker's eyes glowed but she quickly said timidly, "But….can I?"
To her, the toy store was the most luxurious place. Ever since she was a child, she could only look at it from the outside and sigh.
Especially that beautiful lamb that her mother had thrown into the trash! She had been upset about it for a long time but she had never dared to show it.
"Of course you can!"
"I'll buy whatever you like!" Oliver Walker said with a bitter smile.
His daughter was being so cautious. It was impossible for Oliver Walker not to feel heartbroken about it.
It was just a toy but his daughter could only envy the others for having it. This caused a strong desire to grow inside him to make up for the childhood memories he owed his daughter!
"Let's go!"
Olivia Walker hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. "Mummy will be angry!"
She really wanted it but she didn't dare to have it!
She would also never forget the scene of her mother throwing away the beautiful sheep when they were at the hospital.
"She won't be angry this time." Oliver Walker replied with a smile.
There were lots of misunderstandings between them previously but now that most of them have been cleared up. He knew his wife well. It was impossible for her to cut off the kinship between him and his daughter when blood was thicker than water.
