Chapter 16

Olivia had a task at hand, but she canceled it so she could meet the charming little boy.

In the morning, she changed into casual clothes and casually brushed her short hair behind her ears.

After entering college, she had always had short hair.

Before the start of the school year, she went to a nearby hair salon to get her hair cut. As the hairdresser touched her jet–black and resilient hair, he thought it was quite a pity to cut it. He recommended that she get a big wavy hairstyle, mentioning that her hair had the best texture he had ever seen. He thought it would be a shame to cut it.

Olivia insisted on getting her hair cut, so the hairdresser gave her a shoulder–length medium haircut. It was not as short as she initially requested, but it still looked very neat.

For all these years, she had been wearing this hairstyle. At that time, she did not think much of it, but later, she noticed that many people cut their hair in such a way that the end result was a hairstyle similar to hers. Apparently, there was even a nice–sounding name for this hairstyle. It was called “the first–love hairstyle.”

Olivia rarely got up so early. The servant downstairs was surprised when she saw Olivia.

The maid who specifically served Olivia was called Lily Bennett. She was a capable woman in her thirties.

After taking care of Olivia for a few days, Lily had already gotten a rough sense of Olivia’s temperament. She led Olivia directly to the dining room, poured a glass of milk for her, and then asked, “Would you like to wait for everyone to eat together, or would you like to have your meal first?”

It was currently half past seven in the morning. The Taylor family had breakfast at eight o’clock.

“When will Grandpa have breakfast?” Olivia asked.

“Mr. Taylor gets up early,” Lily said. “He usually comes downstairs around six o’clock to have breakfast. After eating, he goes out for a stroll.”

“I see,” Olivia said. Upon hearing that her grandfather had already had breakfast, Olivia lost enthusiasm. She decided to go ahead and eat.

Following that, Lily said, “Mr. Samuel, Mrs. Amelia, and Mr. David have
