Olivia grinned and retracted her hand. “Aren’t we friends already?”“I mean, I won’t mention that I like you anymore. I’m just your friend, so I hope you won’t feel burdened and push me away.”Olivia felt something flutter deep inside her. She wanted to say something, but the words felt stuck in her throat.After a long time, Xavier looked at her again and asked, “Is that okay?”Before this, she thought Xavier was a playboy and a spoiled rich man. Only now did she realize he would never force her to do anything she felt reluctant about.She handed him a piece of cake and smiled. “Of course, friend. Have a piece of cake.”Xavier accepted it and smiled back at her. “Taste them all, and tell me which ones you like the most.”“Okay.”“By the way, I saw the news. Did you win the lawsuit?”Olivia shook her head. “Not yet. I just won the first round. We have another court session to attend next week. I have no idea what that person will be up to this time.”“What are you going to do

Olivia’s first reaction was to run when she saw that man.As she sprinted forward, she reached out to stop a car.Although it was a main road, Olivia saw no taxis at all.Just as she was getting a little impatient, her raised hand was pulled by someone beside her.The man did not give her a chance to speak as he pulled her to the car.“Let go!”The man ignored it.“John, I told you to let go of me! Do you want me to shout in the streets that you’re taking advantage of me?”He stopped walking and turned around, staring at her. “I just want to take you somewhere. That’s all.”“I don’t want to go with you! Let go of me!”John felt sorry when he saw her struggling so hard and ignoring the pain in her wrist. After pondering for a few seconds, he let go.She did not stop for a second. She stopped the taxi by the roadside and got in before it even came to a stop.“Miss, what you did just now…”“Sir, please drive away quickly. That man behind me is trying to catch me.”The driver

John grabbed her wrist and snatched the knife from her. Then, he threw it out the window.“What are you doing?”This time, he was angry. His eyes were cold and looked murderous.Olivia stared at him for a moment and then laughed.“You wouldn’t have set me up if I didn’t look like your late wife, would you?“You wouldn’t have released Jenson to kidnap me or paid TR to smear me, would you?”John felt so aggrieved that his emotions were about to explode.‘Why does this woman think I did it all?‘Did I not explain to her during the earthquake?’He said he was trying to make amends. It was impossible for him to hurt her.However, he did not bother to explain. He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and then pressed her into the back seat.They were close enough that Olivia thought their lips would bump into each other if the car experienced any turbulence.She did not dare to breathe.“Don’t test my patience, Phoebe.”“So what if I do?”John’s brows furrowed, and he stared

At this time, Olivia did not care too much. She buried herself in John’s arms as she held onto him tight and said in a trembling voice, “Johnny, snake! There is a snake…”She was afraid of the dark and even more so of snakes.In the dark, John curled his lips slightly with joy.He missed being needed like this.In the past, she would have been frightened to death by the presence of a green worm on a green leaf and rushed into his arms for protection.However, those days were the distant past now. Long enough to feel like a lifetime ago.Suddenly, Olivia bit her lip and asked in fear, “Johnny, did you hear that? There was the sound of a snake hissing, and it just climbed up on my shoulder. Take me away from this place, won’t you?”“Okay.”Then, John carried her and said gently, “Close your eyes. Everything will be fine.”Closing her eyes would shut off one of her senses, but it made her other senses more sensitive.The snake’s hiss seemed to get louder.She opened her eyes

John caught up with her. “Don’t do this. Your legs will hurt if you walk back home like this.”“What do you think I should do, then?”“When Wes sees that I’m not back yet, he’ll come to us.”“Wait? When?” Olivia shoved off his hand and shouted, “Do we have to wait all night?”“A few hours.”“John.” After staring at him for a long time, Olivia asked, “Did you plan all this? A million-dollar Maybach breaking down? Who are you kidding?“You’re too suspicious.“I’m suspicious of you. If you do this to me again, I might even gain the ability to become a detective.”With that, Olivia turned around and walked ahead.John went to stop her without another word. The two pushed and pulled. Suddenly, it started pouring cats and dogs.Then, Olivia heard the rumbling sound of thunder, making her shudder.John quickly carried her and took her back to the car.“Don’t be afraid. It’s all right.”However, the thunder outside grew louder and seemed to get nearer.Olivia shrunk into a ball a
