Avery had not expected Olive to say something like that. He couldn't answer her questions. He opened the door silently. Olive did not say anything else as she followed behind him obediently. She sat in the backseat and looked out at the window.
She loved herself, so she would feel at home wherever she was.
She would always remember this sentence.
"My wife committed suicide and I didn't want to remarry so adoption was the best option for me," Avery suddenly said.
Olive snapped back to reality. She tilted her head to look at him. "What if it wasn't me?"
"I didn't intend to adopt a child even though I know it's beneficial for me. But I see a desire in you that I lack."
Olive suddenly smiled. She felt relieved and said, "Thank you, Mr. Avery."
Avery did not ask why she thanked him because it was not necessary. Whether it was her or him, they both needed this haven. As long as they were both happy in this haven, it was enough.
