Semua Bab Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife: Bab 481 - Bab 490

Taking revenge? Those two words were particularly strong. Recalling what happened four years ago, Ken froze and was immersed in his thoughts.“We have not caught the murderer.”“I know, I mean... the mastermind.”Ken took a deep breath and turned to look at Olivia. “I’m sure it’s not John.”“Why?” Olivia clenched her fist. “Zy told me it was John. Otherwise… I wouldn’t have tried to kill him.”Ken’s body swayed, yet he was firm when he said, “I know what John did was despicable, and it’s easy to think it was him. However, I grew up with him, and I’m sure he is not the mastermind.”“Did it ever occur to you that he might have something to do with it?Olivia pursed her lips. “It must have something to do with Dorothy.”“Dorothy?”“Yes.”Olivia’s expression was cold when she mentioned what happened four years ago. “That day, Rainie wanted to meet me, but Zy said she should go instead because my leg was injured and it would not be easy for me to move.“She told me through the

Ken just smiled upon hearing Olivia’s question. “You know best, don’t you?”He had thrown the question back to her.She shook her head helplessly, got out of the car, and watched Ken leave before she went upstairs.When she reached the ward door, she hugged herself and knocked on the door with her lips pursed.“Come in.”She took a deep breath, grabbed the doorknob, pushed it open, and walked in.John was on the bed looking at the computer. When he saw her, his voice was gentler. “Good to see you back.”“Mhm.”Olivia put the lunch box on a table beside her. “Are you hungry?”“Not quite,” John lifted his head. “However, I need your help with something urgent.”“Hmm.”Olivia’s mind was a mess, and she seemed absent-minded. She did not care about what John said.Suddenly, John reached out and grabbed her. “Help me.”Olivia was startled and looked at him, shocked. “W-what is it?”“I have to go to the bathroom.”She froze for a moment. Then, she shoved off his hand. “Go, then

Once they reached the restaurant, Olivia pushed the menu up to him and asked, "Order whatever you want."He glanced down. "Just order the cheapest ones, Lady. I can eat anything."With that said, he looked down sheepishly. His ears reddened slightly as he looked a little reserved.Scared that he did not understand the menu, Olivia did not pursue it. She turned to look at the waiter. "Seafood pasta, steak, fries, beef burger, and cola."The waiter nodded, poured a glass of water for both of them, and turned away."You needn't be so reserved. I'm not a bad person." With that said, Olivia clicked on Lyla's photo and showed it to him. "Look, I have a daughter. Isn't she cute?"He nodded dully, looking out of the window from time to time.Olivia then remembered that she seemed to have kidnapped someone's child."Are you afraid your family won't be able to find you? Do you have your mom's or your dad's number?"He shook his head."Who did you come to the hospital with? Are you here

Due to his identity, John dared not voice his objections.He knew he might never see her again if he quarreled with her and raised his voice at her.After a long silence, he finally gave in with a chuckle. "Got it."Olivia did not want to talk to him, so she looked away. "Okay then. I'll go home first. See you tomorrow.""You're leaving?""Yeah, there's no point staying here anyway.""Will you keep me company?"There was a touch of supplication in John's deep voice.It was unknown if it was because she had never seen John like this before, but Olivia's heart softened slightly."Just chat with me."Slightly reluctant, Olivia pulled a stool nearby and sat down on the edge of the bed. "What do you wanna chat about?"To be honest, she had no idea what they could chat about.'About his 'dead wife'?'Or why didn't he marry Dorothy?'While she was thinking about it, John suddenly said, "Who was the one who tried to harm you? What happened?"Olivia froze slightly, not expecting

John gazed darkly at her, still quiet.Unfazed by his reaction, Olivia continued saying, "Has it ever occurred to you that even if your wife is still alive, she might not want to see you?"You said you hurt her so much that she never forgave you until she died."She looked at him coldly and asked, "What makes you think she'll forgive you if she comes back from the dead?"As soon as she finished, she felt John's body tremble, and his expression stiffened slightly.Somehow, seeing him like this gave her some comfort."It's impossible to pretend that nothing has happened when you can't recover from the pain you have experienced and the damage you have suffered."If she were still alive, she would try her best to avoid you and never see you again. Because it is the only way to start over again."With that said, she pressed her lips together and sneered. "Even if you loved her deeply, she would never come near you again if you had hurt and disappointed her enough."Because no one w
