Chapter 116Â
Cathy intentionally acted as if she could not see what Oliver was thinking, and still smiled. “So she was not in a relationship with the owner of Starlight Media. Instead, she was in a relationship with William”Â
“Haha, oh William. He used to be a cassanova. Now that he is with Miss Collins, there is no extra woman by his side. It seems that he is sincere to her.”Â
“Now that Rita and William are together, I won’t worry so much anymore. Otherwise, you guys divorced because of me, but she hasn’t found a good partner yet. I’m still a little sorry about that.”Â
“Ah, Oliver, you don’t have to worry about her life anymore. In the future, you can stay with me at ease.”Â
Oliver did not respond, but his body became colder and frigid.Â
Cathy saw his tiny movements. She looked innocent on the surface, but she was cheering for victory in her heart.Â
Oliver would find out sooner or later that there was no relationship between Rita and the owner of Starlight Media.Â
Now, that Oliver seemed to be more and more interested in Rita, she simply paired her with William, to completely block Oliver’s thoughts.Â
After eating, William and Rita chatted for a while about Arthur’s ancient shoemaking.Â
“We plan to still use the original technology for production. In the sales process, I hope you can endorse us.” William said.Â
The craftsmanship of shoemaking was passed down to Arthur by his father, so Rita hoped that William could carry it forward it. She readily agreed, “Don’t worry. Not only will I give my all to help, but I will also let others push along.”Â
“Thank you, then.” William looked at Rita with warm eyes.Â
The two of them chatted for a while. It was nearly four o’clock when they left.Â
It was time to pick up Iris.Â
William insisted on sending Rita over. Rita thought that her car was parked far away and the business with William was not yet finished, so she nodded in agreement.Â
Arriving at the Starlight Media building, Iris jumped out at the entrance.Â
When she saw William, her big bright eyes suddenly widened, and her lively expression disappeared. She looked at him with a littleÂ
wariness.Â
Iris knew that William was Oliver’s friend.Â
She was afraid of Oliver, so she became even more wary of his friends.Â
“Hello.” William walked over and took the initiative to greet her.Â
His smile was warm and genial.Â
“Hello, Uncle William,” Iris said softly, then quickly ran in front of Rita and hugged her leg.Â
“Does Iris want to play at the playground?” William asked.Â

Iris blinked.Â
The last time Rita and Fredrica took her to the playground, the little planes and trains in there were very fun. To this day, she still remembered it clearly.Â
“Yes.” She nodded.Â
William squatted in front of her. “Then, will you take me there?”Â
Iris looked at William and then at Rita.Â
Little children could not resist the temptation of going to the playground, so she nodded, “Okay.”Â
“Not good,” Rita raised an objection. “Your Uncle William’s time is precious.”Â
“I’m not as busy as you think.” William reached out and hugged Iris, and pinched her nose lightly.Â
Iris hummed and giggled.Â
Seeing Iris’s longing look, Rita did not say anything else and followed the two of them to the playground.Â
William held Iris in his arms and took her to ride a wooden horse and a pirate ship. There were some projects that she had not dared to ride before and William also took her there to play.Â
William’s embrace was so warm. She found that she was not afraid of those projects at all.Â
She became much more courageous.Â
Iris was in William’s embrace, giggling non–stop.Â
Seeing her daughter so happy, Rita could not help but smile.Â
William inadvertently raised his head and caught the smile on the corner of Rita’s lips.Â
Although her smile was shallow, it was very gentle, like a mountain of cherry blossoms in bloom.Â
So pale, yet so charming.Â
The three of them played until it was dark before leaving the playground.Â
After a few hours of getting along, Iris had completely fallen in love with William. When she walked out, she took the initiative to hold William’s hand.Â
She yawned.Â
She was a little sleepy.Â
Rita could see that she was tired so she stooped down to hug her.Â
William moved even faster than her and carried Iris into his arms.Â
Iris yawned again and comfortably leaned on William’s shoulder.Â
After a while, her head lulled from side to side, showing that she had fallen asleep.Â
Rita had no choice but to guide Iris’s head and protect her.Â
“What a happy family.”Â

“Yes, both parents are so good looking, and the baby is so beautiful.Â
“I’m so envious.”Â
In the surroundings, someone noticed the three of them and whispered to their companion.Â
A look of embarrassment appeared on Rita’s face. Just as she was about to explain that the two of them were not in a relationship, the saw who those people were.Â
It was actually Oliver and Cathy.Â
Rita’s heart wailed.Â
During the day, she managed to avoid them as if she did not know them. How could she be able to meet them even at night?Â
In this world, the last people she wanted to meet were these two.Â
William also saw the two of them this time.Â
He did not shy away from them and generously greeted them, “Oliver, Cathy, why are you two here?”Â
Oliver did not respond.Â
He remembered that the child was very wary of him. Every time she saw him, it was like she had seen a ghost.Â
But she was not defensive against William, at all!Â
There was also Rita. Even when they were mistaken to be a family of three, she still smiled and did not deny it!Â
His body could not help but tighten.Â
Cathy took a step forward and blocked Oliver’s gaze. A gentle smile spread on her bright face. “I’m bored so I want Oliver to accompany me to the playground.”Â
As she spoke, the stars in her eyes shone with happiness.Â
William nodded, “The playground is indeed a good place to cultivate love.”Â
“Hehe.” Cathy did not deny it and smiled even happier.Â
“Since we’ve met, let’s go together. Just in time, I also have something to ask you.” Cathy warmly invited them.Â
“Maybe next time.” William looked at the child in his arms gently and refused.Â
Then, he looked at Rita, “Let’s go.”Â
“Okay.” Rita wiped Iris’s face, nodded, and walked away with him.Â
During the whole process, she had never even looked at Cathy and Oliver.Â
She treated the two of them like air.Â
Even Cathy narrowed her eyes and was a little unhappy at her blatant disregard.Â
She was used to being up on a pedestal in life. Even if she could not win against Rita in terms of racing, her acting career was still booming and she was famous.Â
This was more than a few points stronger than Rita’s identity.Â

In addition, her family was also rich in the city. Unlike Rlta, who had a shoemaker for a father.Â
So how could she have the confidence to ignore her?Â
Oliver’s expression was also not good–looking.Â
It was also because of Rita’s disregard.Â
It was not that he felt that he was a person to be respected at every turn, but that he was more and more concerned about Rita’s indifference to him!Â
“They look really affectionate,” Cathy said intentionally, covering her lips and grinning. “They had lunch together and were still together during the night. It looks like a piece of good news is coming.”Â
As soon as she finished speaking, Oliver’s phone rang.Â
He lowered his head and turned the phone on. When he saw the content on it, his face became dark!Â
