You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 1259 He Called Me Daddy Just Now

“Of course, it's ten million!” Shaun replied, a cunning smile playing at the corners of his lips as he subtly adjusted his spectacles on his nose.

“Ten million?” Kingsley widened his eyes in shock, unable to believe what he just heard.

Shaun flashed a mischievous grin but remained silent, prompting Kingsley to gaze at Oliver.

His heart couldn't handle the suspense. If the boy agreed to the amount, he felt like he might faint right then and there.

Sporting an adorable smile, Oliver also adjusted his glasses. “How about ten percent of the amount?” he proposed.

Kingsley's lips quivered, and his voice wavered as he repeated, “Ten percent of the amount? A million?” in astonishment.

Oliver cast a glance at the man, anticipation dancing in his eyes. However, the boy's ensuing words nearly pushed Kingsley to the brink of insanity. “It's a fantastic deal, Mr. Watts. I'm confident you can handle it!”

Kingsley couldn't stop his cheeks from twitching in exasperation. No, I can't! This is daylight robbery!

“With six of us, and Grandpa included, there won't be much left,” the little boy explained.

A beat later, he added, “My daddy has quite the temper. So, do you want him to handle the matter, or should I take care of it for you? Mr. Frank once told me that my daddy likes to banish people who annoy him to deserted islands.”

Oliver skillfully exploited Kingsley's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.


Upon hearing those words, Kingsley quickly gave in. “All right. A million it is!” he conceded.

Accepting the million-dollar deal seemed like a much better option than facing the possibility of being banished to a deserted island. I'll just have to work harder on the next project to make up for the losses.

“Don't feel bad, Mr. Watts. I can help put in a good word for you with my daddy! I promise he won't banish you to a deserted island.” Oliver beamed with joy, enjoying the playful exchange.

“Make sure you keep your promise! Let's hurry and find out if they're back in the ward so we can go home,” Kingsley urged, eager to take the children back with him.

Oliver smiled at him with clear eyes, but Kingsley couldn't help but notice a glimmer of dollar signs flashing within them.

The man was promptly rendered speechless. “Fine, I'll transfer the money to you right now!” he conceded, not wanting to push his luck any further with the clever child.

Without hesitation, he took out his phone and transferred the money to Oliver.

Not only was Oliver delighted, but Gavin and the rest were also just as ecstatic.

Jasper suggested, “Let's treat Tim to a better meal!”

“Let's buy more snacks for Tim and Zachary!” Jesse chimed in with excitement, thrilled about their newfound fortune.

With a smile directed at Kingsley, Oliver said, “Thank you, Mr. Watts. I'll make the call right away!”

He stepped aside and dialed Benjamin's number.

Benjamin was taken aback by the call since Oliver rarely reached out to him.

“Who's on the line?” Arissa asked, curious about the change in Benjamin's expression upon receiving the call.

“Oliver!” Benjamin replied.

He then answered the call. “Yes, Oliver?”

“Daddy!” the boy exclaimed.

The use of the term “daddy” by Oliver deeply moved Benjamin, and he was not quite sure how to react to that.

“Hey!” Benjamin replied.
