Chapter 261
In the afternoon, Olivia and Daniel went to the kindergarten to pick up Andrew.
On the way, Daniel mentioned something.
Some time ago, when he was volunteering, he met a young man named Noah who was at the same
age as him.
“Noah is only 29 years old. He has been married for seven years.” Daniel sighed.
Olivia nodded. “He married early. He barely reached the legal age for marriage back then.”
“And what is your opinion?” Daniel turned to look at her.
Olivia felt a little bit weird. Why would she have an opinion? Some people married young and some old.
It was just their choice. There was nothing to comment about.
“I don’t really have one.” She shook her head.
“You don’t?” At the red light, Daniel stopped the car and turned to look at Olivia, his expression kind of
complicated.
Olivia frowned.
She couldn’t make out what he was trying to do.
She was about to ask him what was going on today.
Yet before she could, she heard his mellow deep voice just beside her ear. “Olivia, let’s get married
too.” Unexpected of such a question, Olivia looked up at Daniel in shock.
The traffic light had turned green. Daniel turned around and looked ahead, pressed on the accelerator
with his right foot and the car rushed out like an arrow.
He didn’t turn to Olivia again, yet he said solemnly, stressing every syllable, “Olivia, let’s get married.”
“Get Married?” Olivia repeated his words in her head.
She squeezed her fingers, unsure of what to answer for a moment.
She didn’t expect him to bring up this topic so soon. She had barely thought about it.
So she hesitated, trying to figure out what to reply.
Yet then, Daniel continued, “If you haven’t made up your mind, we can get engaged for now. How do
you think?”
Engage?
Olivia took a breath of relief.
She nodded at Daniel and agreed. “Okay!”
Daniel was so happy that he was lost for words for a while.
He made it! That was wonderful!
Daniel was a very sophisticated person. He understood humans pretty well. He knew how to negotiate.
He had read a lot of psychology.
He once read something called House Splitting Effect. There was a dark room, if someone proposed to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtopen the window, the proposal was very likely to be denied by a group of people, however, if another
person proposed to destroy the ceiling then the first proposal would become much more acceptable.
He was using the exact same trick.
Daniel’s goal was to engage, not to marry for now.
After picking up Andrew, the three of them went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Olivia felt a little guilty for having hesitated when Daniel proposed to get married. She felt that she had
hurt Daniel, so she was very cooperative and she agreed to whatever he said that day.

She even took the initiative to mention the engagement date.
“Do you think we need to think about it carefully?”
Daniel sat on the chair. He had already taken off his jacket and was only wearing a white shirt. The
cuffs were rolled up, revealing a firm and powerful wrist.
Hearing Olivia’s words, he looked up slowly.
He said in his deep, cello–like voice, “No need.”
No need?
Olivia looked up,
her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
Daniel tapped his fingertips on the table and said, “September 9th.”
Olivia’s hand that was holding the fork paused in the air. She looked over in shock. “A week later? Isn’t
that too soon?”
Daniel shook his head. “This is a good day.”
It indeed was, but wasn’t it a bit of a rush? Would they have the time to prepare everything that was
required?
Olivia was very worried. The engagement was in seven days. There were many things to prepare.
They needed to make arrangements for the venue and the guest list. She hadn’t even purchased the
clothes, shoes, and rings for that day.
“Don’t worry,” Daniel said confidently. “I’ve prepared everything for you.”
He took out his phone and showed the photo to Olivia.
“This is the engagement venue. It’s at the old residence of the Sullivan family. It’s already set up.
“As for the guests, I don’t think we need to invite a lot of people. I prefer to only invite our close
relatives and friends.
“The clothes and shoes are ready. Try them on and see if there’s anything you need to change.”
“And the rings had been customized. They would be delivered in a few days.”
Daniel was talking excitedly.
However, when he turned around, he saw Olivia looking at him calmly with her arms crossed.
Daniel’s heart skipped a beat.
He thought to himself, “Oh no, she found out.”
Olivia looked up and said slowly, “Is this your trick?”
“Don’t call it a trick,” Daniel said righteously. “I am just insightful. I knew we would get engaged one day
so I had everything ready in advance.”
He moved closer to Olivia and whispered, “I really want to marry you.”
After saying that, he gave Andrew a look.
Andrew reacted quickly. He immediately hugged Olivia’s other arm and blinked his big eyes pitifully.
“Olivia, don’t you want to marry my Daddy? Is it because you don’t like me?”
“Oh no. What are you saying?” Olivia’s heart softened. She held Andrew in her arms and shook him.
Her tone was gentle. “I couldn’t kike you more. You’re so adorable!
Andrew raised his face. “Then would you like to be my mother?”
“Of course, I do.” Olivia lowered her head and kissed the little boy’s soft face.
Daniel was very productive.
Olivia had just agreed, he announced the engagement to the world the next second.

He also posted on Twitter: Dear Princess, I’ll see you on September 9th.
The Sullivan Group’s subsidiaries reposted this Twitter and posted at the same time: “Congratulations,
Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan.”
Almost instantly, This tweet went viral.
The news of the engagement of the richest man instantly hit the headlines all over the world.
It was at the top of the trending searches.
Every major news outlet was reporting it.
The news could be found in the financial column, entertainment column, and even scientific column.
The netizens were dumbfounded.
They had no idea what was going on. The news was too sudden.
They couldn’t believe that in the blink of an eye, the richest man was engaged. They never heard he
had a girlfriend.
The netizens were in an uproar.
“It’s too sudden. Oh no, how can he get engaged before I even grow up?”
“Who is Ms. Taylor? Does anyone know? I have never heard of her.”
“Am I the only one who’s curious? Look, I saw this piece of news on financial channels. entertainment
channels and even scientific channels… What does it have to do with science, can anybody explain?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh, come on, don’t spread rumors. It’s covered on scientific channels not because of Mr. Sullivan but
because of Ms. Taylor.”
There was also a link behind this comment.
People who clicked on it were all shocked by Olivia’s dazzling resume.
“Oh my god, Ms. Taylor is amazing. She got the Lasker Award at such a young age. She must be a
genius.” “I knew she must be an excellent person too.”
“Well, even though Ms. Taylor has made some achievements in biology, I still don’t think Ms. Taylor is
good enough for Mr. Sulliva. After all, he is the wealthiest man in the world.”
“Oh shut up! Are you blinded by money? How dare you say that scientists are inferior to capitalists!”
The netizens were arguing with each other.
The Sullivan Group’s public relations team had controlled the comments, so the discussion didn’t go
too far.
It was not very intense, and there was nothing too negative.
However, Daniel still didn’t like it. He did not want to see any arguments. He wanted to see everyone
congratulate him and Olivia.
Hence…
The e–commerce department posted on their official account: “The Sullivan group will pay the bill for
100 people who retweeted the post.”

retweeted.”
