Lahat ng Kabanata ng Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife: Kabanata 1171 - Kabanata 1180

Olivia’s eyes widened quickly and she nearly stood up from her wheelchair. “W-what did you say? Fred’s missing?”When she was done, she did not even care about the pain she felt in her body as she clumsily wheeled herself over to Kate. “Kate, w-where did you hear this? F-Fred was bailed out, wasn’t he? If he was bailed out then… How did he go missing? Has someone called?”Maybe it was because she was panicking, but her speech was disoriented and she was so frustrated that she started hitting herself hard in the head with her fist.“Kate, you…”Before she could finish, Ken stopped Olivia and ordered Kate, “Explain it clearly, Kate. What’s going on? How did you get to know this? Did you get a phone call about a ransom?”Kate shook her head vigorously. “No, it’s not like that. After Fred was released on bail, he called me and asked me to fetch him, saying that he had no money on him. He wanted to get a change of clothes so that when he came to see you, Pheebs, he wouldn’t look so bad

“Don’t start panicking just yet, Pheebs.”Xavier knelt halfway to the ground, slowly raised his hands, and wiped the tears from the corner of Olivia’s eyes. He comforted gently, “Don’t cry now. Trust me, Fred will be fine.”Olivia sniffled, yanked Xavier’s hand, and said, “Xavier, find me the person in the picture please, okay?”Then, she swiped a few times until she reached a picture of Hera. She said, “Even if I don’t know who he is, I know that we can find him through this woman.”Xavier’s expression darkened as anger flashed across his eyes, but Olivia, who was still shaking his arm, did not notice. “Why aren’t you speaking? Are you not willing? If it’s too hard…”Before she could finish, Xavier retracted his gaze and looked up at Olivia. “What are you saying? I’d do anything for you, and this just involves finding someone! I’ll get my assistant to look into it right away, then I’ll send more men to look for Fred as well. Don’t worry, we’ll find him.”Olivia was elated. “Real

Ken turned over to see Xavier’s face, then pulled his arm out.“Our business is none of your concern.”Xavier grabbed his arm and dragged him backwards then whispered in his ear, “But I was the one who bailed Fred out and helped Pheebs find the man that she was looking for. So, am I still unqualified?”Although his voice was soft and he sounded casual, Ken still felt the hint of threat in his words. He had always been suspicious of Xavier from the very beginning, and now, after hearing what he said, Ken disliked him even. Yet, he was aware that since Xavier saved Fred, Olivia would not believe him even if he told her that Xavier was not a good guy.He then glanced at him coldly and swung his hand off once again before walking away.“Fred, what the hell are you doing? Do you know how worried your sister was? She stayed up all night because of you, so you better clarify where you were yesterday.”Fred was shocked. He backed off slightly then stood up while looking at Ken timidly.

“Ken, why are you fooling around as well…”Olivia frowned helplessly.In fact, she never trusted Xavier completely.However, he had indeed helped her this time. If not, Fred would still be locked up right now.“I know you might not accept whatever I’m saying, but I can tell that he’s someone with ulterior motives. He’s not as nice and approachable as he looks. There must be something else behind it.”That being said, Ken added, “I assume he has feelings for you, but honestly… I’m afraid he’s aiming for something else aside from getting you.”Olivia felt a little embarrassed hearing such words, and her ears were slightly flushed. “Ken, what are you talking about? I’ve never thought that he was actually into me. I’m aware of that.”After all, she had been suspicious about him since the moment they met, and the idea remained until now.“You see that, Liv? I’m not the only one who says so. Even Ken agrees. Just try to stay away from him.”Olivia glared at him and said sternly, “Ke

Seeing who it was, Olivia was slightly surprised. “What are you doing here?”Xavier chuckled lightly and walked toward her. He sounded a little hoarse and spoke in a teasing tone, “I missed you, so I came over to see you.”Hearing these words, Olivia’s ears turned red slightly. She lowered her head in embarrassment. “Cut it out.”“Cut what out?”He pulled a chair and sat beside her while looking at her deeply with his narrow eyes. “Do you really think that I’m messing with you when I say that I like you? Or you don’t believe that I really like you?”“I already told you back in Murica that there’s nothing about me that’s worth your feelings.”Hearing that, Xavier smiled. “Pheebs, both of the two strongest pillars in Ocean City fell for you. How can you be unworthy? Besides, I’ve explained to you back in Murica that my feelings for you have been genuine since the beginning. If not, I wouldn’t be here to look for you.”That being said, he laughed mockingly. “If you’re willing to li
