Both Ava and Oliver looked at the way where the voice came from. That was a woman. She seemed so young and there was no word to describe her beauty. But when Oliver met her gaze, he knew it was her who was watching them. Maybe she was looking for a time to talk with them. Even though Oliver had a bad feeling about her.
"Ms. Amelia!"
Ava seemed to know her. Oliver didn't know her. So he looked at Ava waiting for her to introduce her.
"She is my homeroom teacher in school."
Ava stood up and asked her to sit with them. Since she wanted to talk with her, Oliver couldn't stop Ava.
"Hello Ms. Amelia, it's nice to meet you."
Oliver politely greeted her. Then she also bowed lightly and looked at Ava. Ava was so happy to meet Amelia at that moment. Because she was so friendly with her and Ava liked her so much.
"Ava, this-?" Amelia asked while looking at Oliver. Unless he was a close person and related to them, he can't come to the party with Ava. So she had a little idea but didn't dare to come to conclusions by herself.
"He is Oliver." Ava didn't bother to expose her private affairs even though it was Amelia who asked it.
Seeing Ava didn't try to explain much, she was annoyed. That was not what she wanted to know.
'What's his relationship with Ava and Daniel? It can't be-?'
She didn't want to think about it. Because she had crushed on Daniel for a long.
Even though Amelia was a homeroom teacher, she had the support of a lot of business families because of her father. Her father was a businessman. But Amelia was abandoned and lived separately. She became an independent woman. However, she was still invited to events like this. So it was nothing unusual for this beautiful homeroom teacher to attend a business class party.
Amelia who had a crush on Daniel became especially close with Ava. So she could approach Daniel and make a good impression about her. Ava and Daniel who didn't know her intentions preferred this lovely homeroom teacher.
She was a beauty. It was a rare beauty. She could attack almost every man around her. But that man didn't fall for her. He had no desire for her beauty. She was confused and tried more and more to get attention of Daniel. But still, she failed. She was just a homeroom teacher for him.
"Where is your dad? It can't be you came alone, right?"
'How could she come alone when someone is next to her?'
Oliver had a bad feeling when she talked. But he kept silent and helped Ava to adjust her dress.
"Dad is talking with brother."
Ava said after she saw Daniel chatting with Anderson and his friends.
"Oh"
Then Amelia picked up a glass of wine and drank it slowly while secretly observing Oliver. And finally she noticed a lot of things that made her doubt confirm.
A special wedding ring!
But She never saw one in Daniel's hand. So she was still confused.
Oliver didn't wear the wedding ring to campus afraiding he would lose it. But he had to wear it to the party because Daniel asked him to.
"Ava, are you hungry? Shall we go and eat?"
Suddenly John appeared there startling the three people at the table.
"Grandpa, let's go with dad."
Ava said and looked at the way where his dad was. He was still busy chatting.
"Okay then call him. If you don't call him now I am afraid he won't come."
John said and sat beside Oliver.
"Are you okay? That bastard left you here and kept talking with them."
John said in a blaming manner, ignoring Amelia who was sitting there. She knew he was ignoring her on purpose. But she still waited there until Daniel see her. Because she was more beautiful than on any other day. So she must show off her beauty.
"It's okay. He should go as he wants. I can't stop him."
Oliver said while trying to calm him down.
Seeing how Oliver took the side of Daniel, John also laughed and then looked for Ava who went to bring Daniel. But seems like she was also stuck there with his friends. They didn't want to let go of their friend's cute daughter.
John sighed and stood up to bring them. Oliver who saw that stopped him.
"I will call him. You can take a little rest here with
mom."
Right at that moment, John stood up, Oliver saw Daniel's mom was coming there. So he told him to have a talk with his wife and sit there because they were already tired.
However, when Oliver referred Daniel's mom as his mom, Amelia flinched. She was right. He must have some kind of relationship with Daniel and even his parents allow them. She didn't know about their marriage. So she thought that was still in the first stage.
"Thank you, you are so thoughtful."
John winked at Oliver and then turned to his wife.
Oliver smiled lightly and then walked toward Daniel and Ava. He was nervous at first. But he knew when Daniel was around him, he didn't have to worry.
Before he reached Daniel, Ava saw Oliver. She said bye to the playful gang and dragged Daniel by force. She was afraid thinking the crowd would make Oliver uncomfortable. So she decided to help him. But Oliver was not really. However, Daniel had to leave their friends and go with Ava.
"Aren't you ashamed? You told me that you would be with dad. But here you forgot him."
Ava angrily said and pointed at Oliver who stopped on the way after seeing them coming to him.
Daniel wanted to laugh. But didn't, thinking his daughter would get angry.
'She thinks about Oliver more than I do. She likes him for real. It's good.'
"I am sorry, But I didn't have to worry because you are there to take care of him."
He said playfully and pinched her cheeks.
"Mmph!"
She slapped his hand and ran to Oliver, hugged him.
The people who were around were watching them with great interest. They already knew about Oliver because John had already praised him so much while talking with them. They couldn't help but surprise thinking about what he did to make them prefer him so much.
Because John was not someone who could be coaxed so easily by something cheap. So they had a good impression of Oliver since John also praised him.
"I am sorry. It took a little longer."
Daniel said and looked at angry Ava.
"Let's go. Dad is waiting for you. I am afraid he is angry with you."
Oliver said before they continue to walk toward his parents.
"It's okay. Since you are here, he won't be angry with me."
Daniel said and leaned a little closer to Oliver.
The people who were watching them suddenly looked away thinking they are flirting.
"What are you doing? Go away!"
Oliver lightly pushed him away and hold the hand of Ava who was trying to walk faster with them.
Daniel followed Oliver like a puppy obediently keeping his distance. John was already watching them. Seeing Oliver's one sentence made Daniel obedient, he was proud. He thought of teaching more methods to keep Daniel under control.
"Don't even think about it."
Suddenly his wife, Rose said realizing his intention.
Then John stopped laughing and sat properly, coughing lightly.
'I forgot I should not teach Oliver but to Daniel about how to survive when your wife is angry!'
That's when he realized that he was also in the same situation as his son, who is afraid of making his wife angry.
