Semua Bab Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife: Bab 511 - Bab 520

Olivia’s life felt like it completely quietened down after that night.John no longer called her on the phone, and Xavier no longer came knocking on her door.The only bad thing was that she had to go to the police station every now and then to take statements to testify against Jenson Luke.On the following Monday, the moment she reached the atelier, Jennie pulled her frantically into her office.“Pheebs, there’s a job that could earn us quite a bit, but it’s really up to you if you want to take it up.”Olivia saw how solemn Jennie was and smiled. “Why so serious? You’re the one that has always made the decisions about things like this, right?”Jennie was a little guilty. “It’s to do with Xavier. Even though I may be in charge of liaising with the clients, you’re the one doing the designs, so you’d have to still communicate with the client, right?”“Spit it out. What project is this?”“Actually…” Jennie licked her lips. “It won’t cause you too much hassle, now that you don’t h

Xavier saw how spooked Olivia was and released her immediately. He smiled jokingly and teased her. “I’m just kidding with you. I’m a righteous man, so I would never do something like taking advantage of you.”She glanced at him cautiously and said, “How would I know that?”He hid his smile immediately when he realized that she was angry and stuffed the bouquet into her arms. “I brought you flowers. Are you free tonight? I’ve made reservations at a pretty good restaurant, and I’d like to bring you there for dinner.”“No need. I’m not free tonight.”“Fred has dinner waiting for you?”“Yeah.”“Bring me along, then.”Olivia was stunned. She looked helplessly at the cheeky man. “Mr. Hemsworth, this concerns my house. What business do I have bringing a client back home with me?”He narrowed his beautiful moon-shaped eyes and leaned against the table. “Aren’t we friends, Pheebs? Besides that, I’ve gone to your house many times for a meal, so doing it again isn’t that big of a deal.”

“Liv, are you thinking about the past again?”Olivia was taken aback. “Huh?”“I don’t know if you’ve realized, but since you met John again, your smiles have lessened.”“Really?”“Yeah.” Fred paused for a while. “You’re zoning out more, sighing a lot more, and you’re always frowning now.“I know that Xavier Hemsworth is a pretty annoying person, but I don’t think he’s annoying enough to make you so troubled.”After hearing what Fred had to say, Olivia found what he said pretty amusing. “If Xavier heard what you said, he’d be sure to quarrel with you again.”Then, she sighed helplessly. “But you’re right. I’m still not over what happened in the past.”“Liv, it’s normal to not be able to let go of the past. It’s like me often thinking about my sister. But we gotta move forward, don’t we?”Move forward.Everyone had told her to move forward. She was able to move forward, but what about Dad and Mom? What about Uncle Wallace and Zy?They had no chance to move forward anymore.If

Olivia and Jennie walked out while chatting. Just as they reached the door of the atelier, Jennie stopped.“Sir, are you here to customize some jewelry?”Olivia looked up, and her body stiffened when she saw the person approaching. Her smile disappeared immediately. ’You’re here.”Ken was wearing a black coat, and his hair was messy. His face was full of exhaustion, and he looked as if he had traveled for a long time.He looked towards Olivia and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Come with me.”That being said, he got back into the car.Jennie was stunned, and a trace of confusion flashed across her eyes. She then looked at Olivia. “Pheebs, do you know him? Is he… Lyla’s father?”Olivia only shook her head and did not explain further.“Go home first, and tell Fred to not wait for me.”“Okay…” Jennie looked at her back and could not help but remind her. “Be careful, and stay safe, okay? Call us if you need anything.”“Alright.”Olivia opened the car door and sat in the pass

“Just like how it used to be, nothing special.”After a long silence, Olivia asked, “Dorothy Ellis?”Zac seemed to get what she wanted to find out, and he said, “Liv, since you’ve chosen a new life, you shouldn’t dwell on the past anymore. Listen to Ken and leave.”Olivia knew that it would be pointless to talk about it either way, so she bit her lips. “Yeah. I will think about it.”“Oh, right. Ian’s results are great, and he can choose any school and major he wants. Do you have any schools or courses in mind that you want him to pick?”“I…”After a quick thought, she shook her head. “Nope, he has his own life. Let him choose himself.”After saying that, she added, “But take care of him, and don’t let him choose anything too out of the ordinary.”“Yeah, I will. Take care.”“Okay.” Olivia pursed her lips. “I’ll hang up now.”“Alright.”After hanging up, she sighed while holding the folder in her arms.She definitely could not bring herself to run away while watching Ken take
