My Secret Billionaire Husband Chapter 2786 - 2794: Just Pacify Casually Will Do

For a moment, the little girl gazed at Joanna, her large dark eyes gleaming with delight, before abruptly hurling herself into Joanna’s embrace, nestling close and declaring, "Mommy, you’re so beautiful, like a fairy sister."

"I love Mommy. Mommy is so pretty."

With the delicate, sweet-scented child curling up in her embrace, Joanna’s heart softened completely in an instant. She pulled her "daughter" close, pressed a kiss to the little one’s cheek, and murmured, "Olivia is a little fairy too, Mommy loves Olivia very much."

Oh, this little girl was simply irresistible in her cuteness.

Tender, plush, and rosy-cheeked, she nestled against Joanna with the softest feel, absolutely delightful to hold.

In that instant, Joanna’s motherly instincts blazed to life.

Children no longer struck her as a burden at all.

She found herself daydreaming about what their daughter might be like if she and Ashton Heath ever had one.

She’d surely turn out to be a stunningly gorgeous little fairy.

Everyone would adore her without question.

A daughter was something she now desperately craved.

"Olivia only likes Mommy—doesn’t she like Daddy?" Kelvin Norman remarked jealously from his squat beside them.

While sprawled contentedly in Joanna’s arms and acting all spoiled, the little girl caught Kelvin’s words, gradually swiveled her tiny head, fixed him with a stare for several seconds, and then her big grape-like eyes sparkled as she asked, "Are you Olivia’s dad?"

Kelvin gave a warm smile. "Yes."

"Wow, Daddy’s so handsome—Olivia likes Daddy too!"

The child was clearly obsessed with appearances. Spotting her good-looking father, she flung her arms wide right away, begging Kelvin to pick her up.

"Daddy, hug Olivia!"

Kelvin adored kids, particularly an adorable one like this girl.

When she pleaded for a cuddle, he eagerly lifted her straight from Joanna’s hold.

This little one was obviously thrilled and attached to her temporary mom and dad.

Resting in Kelvin’s arms, she clung to his neck, planted an eager kiss on him, then twisted around to smooch Joanna as well.

Edward Cooper chuckled at the sight. "Looks like our princess Olivia is totally pleased with her ’Internship Parents.’ Alright, Mom and Dad, whisk your little one back to your room and whip up a lavish, tasty lunch for her."

Joanna and Kelvin departed with Olivia just as the elevator doors parted once more.

Next, the staff brought out the remaining two young visitors.

Marco, the eldest, proved the most well-behaved and adaptable. Once informed by the staff about his stand-in parents, he approached them independently, swiftly building a bond of closeness and comfort.

Soon after, Mandy Phelps and Sorensen Delafield carried Marco off.

At last, the final child, Lucus, peeked shyly at his "new dad" and "new mom." The poor boy’s eyes brimmed with tears, on the verge of sobbing. Even after the staff explained that Omega Huntley and Porter Rushbrook were his parents, he clamped his lips shut and refused to greet them.

"Lucus, say hi to Mom and Dad," Edward Cooper knelt down, whispering tenderly into his ear. "Mom and Dad really like Lucus a lot—don’t you like them?"

Annie, keen to impress and project a kind, nurturing motherly vibe, crouched beside him, copying Joanna’s earlier move by stroking Lucus’ hair softly and cooing, "You must be Lucus. You’re so handsome."

She figured soothing a kid would be simple and childcare a breeze.

Yet, far from calming down, the tearful boy erupted into loud wails with a "wow" right after her words.
