Chapter 458
Olivia actually did not have an appetite. After a few bites of the dessert, she could not eat anymore. However, when she thought about the child in her belly, she realized that although she did not like the desserts, the child needed nutrition.
Thus, she picked up the fork and forced herself to take a few more bites.
As she ate, she stroked her abdomen.
Her eyes were filled with gentleness.
“Baby, baby, you’re my favorite baby.” After saying that, Olivia was suddenly stunned. A scene that had never appeared in her memory suddenly flashed. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a beautiful newborn baby boy. His eyes were not open yet, but his small hands were exceptionally strong, grabbing her hair tightly.
The girl still had baby fat on her face. She was not close to the little boy in her arms, only disdainful. “So ugly. Did I really give birth to him?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” A gentle male voice sounded. “Our baby is the most beautiful baby in the world.”
“Baby?” Olivia thought.
She suddenly lowered her eyes and looked down at her flat stomach. She was a little stunned.
Had she had a child before?
Suddenly, she had a splitting headache, and all kinds of memories flashed through her mind.
One moment, her memories showed that she had given birth to a boy. The next moment, it would show that she had never given birth.
Her memory was too messy, and she had a terrible headache. Hence, she took two deep breaths to ease the pain.
Olivia did not dare to think about it anymore. She was pregnant right now and could not afford to be in a troubled mood. Her memories could be sorted out slowly. There was no need to be anxious.
Charlee had already taken away all the food and then stayed in a corner in a daze.
Olivia looked up at her. “Something on your mind?”
Charlee forced a smile. “It’s nothing.
Olivia adjusted herself into a comfortable sitting position and said in a gentle tone, Charlee, do you still remember what I said? I’m the Saintess, the Saintess of the Flores family. Therefore, when I ask you a question, you can’t dodge it. You have to answer truthfully.
Harlee blinked and stared blankly at Olivia for a moment. Then, the
y lowered her head and said shyly, 1 also signed up for the Star
Competition, but I’m too weak. I’m afraid of embarrassing the Flores family.”
There was no limit to the number of participants in the preliminaries of the Start Competition. Everyone could participate. It was similar to the sports competition. The participants could choose a sport they were good at to sign up for.
Charlee was also the daughter of a clansman. However, her family’s conditions. were not very good. Her grandmother was the only member in the family, and could not afford to support her. Therefore,
she was sent to the side of the elders to do some work.
For clansmen with poor family conditions, this was already a good way out. Charlee had also learned some voodoo, but she was not very proficient in them. “What activity did you sign up for?” Olivia asked her.
Charlee blushed. “Catching poisonous bugs.”
Catching poisonous bugs was a relatively popular activity. All the participants would gather in the Star Forest, where they would compete to see who caught the most poisonous bugs in three hours.
This was a comprehensive competition to test the participants‘ understanding of the Star Forest and their methods of catching poisonous bugs.
Charlee told Olivia about her plan. “I’m going to catch Bullet Ants in the southwest. Bullet Ants are in groups. As long as I find the ant nest, I can catch many of them.”
Olivia listened attentively to Charlee’s plan and did not interrupt her. Only when Charlee was done did she speak. “Do you want to win?”
Charlee was embarrassed. “I just hope I won’t be the last place.”
Hearing this, Olivia opened the box beside the table and took out a tiny vial. She handed it to Charlee and said, “Take this. When you can’t catch any poisonous bugs and are at your wits‘ end, pour the liquid in the vial on the ground.”
“What is this?” Curious, Charlee asked.
She knew that when the Saintess was free, she would get some herbs and make all kinds of things, but she never knew what effects they had.
Olivia shook her head and said calmly, “I don’t remember.”
She did not know what she was making either. She only felt that it could attract poisonous bugs, but she was not sure just how effective it would be.
She had come up with this formula herself. Without verification, she could not be
certain
Charlee was speechless.
thought “Saintess, you’re kidding, right? How can you give me something you font know What if its poisonous?
of this Charlee telt the vial in her hand start to burn
Coincidentally, Dakota came over and saw the vial in Charlee’s hand. She asked curiously, “What is this?”
Charlee explained. “The Saintess gave it to me. It can be used in competitions to catch poisonous bugs.”
At this point, she suddenly remembered that Dakota had also signed up for this activity, so she asked, “You also signed up to catch poisonous bugs, right? Do you want this?”
Dakota quickly refused, her eyes filled with disdain. “You can have it. Grandpa has prepared other medicines to attract poisonous bugs for me.”
Hearing this, Charlee’s eyes lit up, and she became envious.
Dakota’s grandfather was the Third Elder, so the medicine he gave must be very effective.
Noticing the envy in Charlee’s eyes, Dakota turned around and ignored her. Instead, she looked at Olivia and asked, “Saintess, one needs to have a customized uniform for the Star Competition. You’re the leader, so you have to dress uniquely. What style do you like?”
Olivia did not care about this. She casually said, “You decide.”
Dakota’s eyes flashed, and she said, “Maya Flores is an internationally renowned designer. How about letting her personally design and make a piece of clothing for you?”
Olivia nodded. “Okay.”
Seeing Olivia nod, Dakota left happily.
Charlee looked at Dakota’s back and hesitated, “Saintess, are you really going to ask Aunt Maya to make clothes for you?”
“Can’t I?” Olivia did not think much of it.
Charlee was only in her teens this year. There were no adults around her who taught her the ways of the world, so she did not know much. However, she could feel that Olivia’s actions were a little inappropriate.
Maya was a widely known designer who was very famous outside. If it were not for the Star Competition, she would not have come back at all. Even the First Elder and the others could not order her around casually, but the Saintess shamelessly asked her to make clothes for her.
This was too arrogant.
Saintess, Charlee clumsily explained. “Aunt Maya is very busy and highly skilled. The clothes she designs are very expensive.
Olivia thought she understood what Charlee was trying to say, so she comforted ber. “Don’t worry, I’ll pay her
this, Charice was about to cry,
How are you going to pay her? You’re completely broke and
depend on your clansmen to provide for you. How are you going to get the money?”
In the clan, Maya was teaching her nephew voodoo when she heard Dakota’s voice outside. Dakota said that the Saintess had called for her to personally design and make a leading outfit.
Maya’s nephew was young and hot–tempered. He immediately slammed the table and said angrily, “This is too much. Who does the Saintess think she is to order Aunt Maya? Even the First Elder has never worn Aunt Maya’s clothes.”
Dakota was still there. Maya was worried that her nephew would cause trouble, so she turned to Dakota and said coldly, “Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon.”
Dakota sighed. “Aunt Maya, don’t blame me. It was the Saintess who had high expectations and appointed you. I had no choice.”
Maya’s eyes dimmed as she said in a low voice, “I know.”
