Chapter 278 I Cherish Everything You Gave
Upon seeing that she had actually brought gifts, the two elders were both surprised and delighted. They couldn’t help but say. -Your presence is gift enough. There’s no need to be so formal.”
Olivia responded with a smile, “It’s only the respect I should show,”
Then she said. “Mr. Quill, please take a look. I’m not sure if you’ll like it or not.
“As long as it’s from you, I like it.” Sophocles gave her a meaningful look and then opened the box.
Upon seeing a scroll inside, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “It seems you know me quite well”
As he spoke, he pulled out a scroll and unrolled it. Upon seeing the characters inscribed on it. his eyes widened in astonishment. “This…”
He initially thought that the calligraphy painting Olivia had gifted him was just ordinary. However, the words inscribed on it gave him an unexpected delight.
The handwriting was bold and robust, each stroke drawn with a sense of grandeur. There was an inexplicable presence about it, as if it held the power to consume mountains and rivers.
Unconsciously, admiration and affection shone on Sophocles’s face. Nathan couldn’t help but glance at the woman beside: him, his gaze softening a bit.
She had truly put her heart into that gift.
After admiring it. Sophocles finally shifted his gaze to Olivia, asking. “Olivia, whose handwriting is this?”
He considered himself a collector of many unique and extinct items, yet he had never seen handwriting like that before.
Olivia gave a slight smile. “He’s only an elder I know who enjoys writing and painting in his spare time. As long as you don’t mind, it’s all good.”
“How could I possibly disdain this gift?” Sophocles‘ gaze returned to the scroll, praising repeatedly, “Olivia, I’d say this person’s skills are on par with une
“Really?” Olivia was a bit surprised. She hadn’t expected that Sophocles would hold Joker’s calligraphy in such high regard.
“Indeed, I really love this gift.” Sophocles said with a chuckle.
Seeing him go on and on about writing. Holly interrupted, “All right, at least show some hospitality.”
Upon hearing that, Sophocles hastily replied, “Oh dear, I just get carried away whenever I see something I like. I hope you don’t mind, Olivia.”
Olivia shook her head to indicate that she didn’t mind, then helped to store away the scroll carefully.
“Mr. Quill, this is the fresh early spring Black Ivory Coffee.” Nathan also offered his gift.
Before Sophocles could even take it. Holly swiftly grabbed it, grinning as she said, “Perfect timing. I’ve made some pastries. I’ll go make some coffee. Let’s all have some together.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than she hurriedly walked into the house, carrying the coffee that Nathan had given her.
“Holly is quite impatient. The words of Sophocles sounded like complaints, but his eyes and brows were filled with nothing but gentleness.
“Ill help her out,” said Olivia.
Olivia was about to rise but was stopped by Sophocles. “No need, just stay seated.”
She found herself involuntarily looking at Nathan. He responded with a slight lift of his eyebrows, saying, “Just sit.”

Liam fixed his gaze unwaveringly on the plate of pastries, licking his lips. In a soft voice, he said, “Mommy, I want to eat.”
Seeing him practically drooling, Olivia couldn’t help but laugh as she handed him a piece.
As soon as he received it, Liam immediately took a bite.
It was neither too sweet nor too cloying
He narrowed his eyes, and without thinking, he blurted out, “Delicious?
Hobling a cup. Holly stepped out just in time to hear his words, her smile broadening even more.
Seeing that Liam had finished eating, Holly offered another piece. “If it’s tasty, feel free to have mone
“Eat slower. Be careful not to choke.” Olivia helplessly patted Liam’s back, fearing he might choke-
Liam was clever and endearing. Whatever the two ellers asked, he answered, amusing them to the point where they couldn’t stop laughing
Time flew by swiftly, and soon it was nearing noon.
“It’s a rare occasion for your to visit. Why don’t you stay for lunch and dinner?” Holly was particularly fond of Liam, and she couldn’t bear to see them leave so soon
Sophocles nodded in agreement. “It would be perfect if Nathan could join me for a game of chess.”“
Nathan didn’t decline the offer, not only because he wanted to spend time with the elderly, but more importantly, he wished to linger a hut longer with Olivia and Liam.
Olivia wanted to refuse, but it was too late. All she coulililo was give a forced smile.
That gave off the impression as if they were a family of three.
