Chapter 281

The knocking on the door was heard again, this time louder. “Liv! Are you in there or not?!”Olivia opened her mouth to answer, but before a single word came out, Ricky moved first.Quickly, he grabbed the nape of Olivia’s neck and pressed his lips against hers. Instantly, Olivia tensed. Her eyes widened, her body frozen in shock.The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to make Olivia feel the burning sensation on her neck again.Her awareness returned immediately. Olivia pushed Ricky’s chest with all her strength. “Let go!”Ricky stepped back half a step. Without thinking, Olivia lifted her hand and slapped his cheek. The sound of the slap echoed clearly in the small room.SLAP!Ricky didn’t avoid it. His jaw tightened, but he said nothing.Olivia stared at him, her breathing ragged. “You’re married! Don’t go too far!”Ricky lowered his head briefly, as if trying to hold something inside himself. “I’m… sorry.”Olivia clutched the collar of her hoodie with trembling hand

CHAPTER 282

Olivia sat on the floor of her room with an open suitcase in front of her. Some clothes had already been neatly folded, while the rest were just thrown in because her mind was unfocused. She took a breath, trying to stay calm, but her chest felt heavy.The bedroom door was knocked on gently. “Liv, can Mommy come in?” Elena’s voice sounded from outside.Olivia glanced briefly before answering. “Just come in, Mom.”Elena entered while carrying a glass of orange juice. Her gaze fell on the open suitcase. “You already started packing?”Olivia nodded slowly. “The flight is tomorrow morning. I have to be ready from now.”Elena sat on the edge of the bed, watching her daughter. “If you want, you can stay a few more days. Mommy still misses you, dear.”Olivia gave a faint smile. “But there are many deadlines, Mom.”Elena also smiled a little, but her eyes weren’t truly happy. “You really want to become a famous architect?”“I want to build a building that has my name on it,” Olivia answered w

Chapter 283

CHAPTER 283Olivia had just finished arranging her suitcase and was about to turn off the bedroom light when her phone vibrated again on the table. She frowned, thinking it might be from Sophia or Cindy. However, the moment she saw the sender’s name, her heartbeat quickened slightly. It was a message from Ricky.Olivia stared at the screen for a few seconds without touching it. Again? she thought irritably. She bit her lower lip, hesitating whether to open the message or ignore it.But then, more notifications appeared one after another.[I’m in front of your house.][If you don’t come out, I’ll come in.]Olivia’s eyes widened. “What’s wrong with this man?” she muttered under her breath. She exhaled sharply and stood up from the bed. Inside, she felt annoyed—and honestly, a little panicked. How did Ricky know her family’s address? And where did he even get her phone number?She grabbed her hoodie and quickly walked to the balcony, peeking toward the front gate. Sure enough, a black ca

Chapter 284

CHAPTER 284Ricky had just entered the house when Kelly appeared from the living room. The moment she saw her husband, she folded her arms across her chest.“You just got home?” her voice was cold. “Where have you been this late at night?”Ricky didn’t answer right away. He placed his car keys on the table, then looked at Kelly without any expression. “We need to talk.”His tone was flat but firm. Kelly immediately sensed that something was different.“Talk about what?” Kelly asked suspiciously.Ricky took a deep breath, then pulled a document from his briefcase. He set it on the table. “About this.”Kelly looked at the paper, her eyes widening when she saw the words written at the top—Divorce Petition.“You’re joking, right?” Kelly laughed stiffly, trying to deny the reality.Ricky slowly shook his head. “No. I’m serious.”Kelly stared at him for a long time, then stepped closer. “Serious? You’re really serious about divorcing me after four years of marriage? After everything I’ve do

Chapter 285

CHAPTER 285That morning, the air at the airport was still cool. The sound of suitcase wheels scraping against the shiny marble floor mixed with the bustle of people passing by, each with their own busy faces. Olivia stood in front of the departure gate, holding her ticket and passport tightly. Beside her, Elena tried to smile even though her eyes were glistening with tears.“Mommy, are you sure it’s okay if I go now?” Olivia asked softly.Elena immediately pulled her daughter into her arms. “Of course, sweetheart. Mommy just wishes you could stay a little longer…”Olivia smiled and hugged her back tightly. “I promise I’ll video call often. And if there’s another long holiday, I’ll come home.”Nathan, who was standing not far from them, gave a small smile. “Just focus on your studies, Liv. Don’t overthink everything.”“But, honey,” Elena quickly interrupted, “what’s wrong if I ask her to study here instead? There are plenty of good universities here too, right?”Nathan let out a long

Chapter 286

CHAPTER 286The air of Paris greeted Olivia with a cool, soothing breeze. As soon as she stepped out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, she took a deep breath and looked up at the bright blue sky. It still felt like a dream to be back in this city — a city full of memories, yet also the place where she was rebuilding her life.After nearly an hour’s taxi ride, Olivia finally arrived at her apartment in a small neighborhood near the University of Des Beaux-Arts. The moment the door opened, a familiar scent welcomed her. The apartment wasn’t big, but it was cozy.“Home sweet home,” she murmured with a small smile. She placed her suitcase near the sofa, then opened the window curtains. Sunlight streamed in, making the room feel more alive.She had only been sitting for a few minutes to rest when she heard a knock on the door.Olivia frowned slightly. “Who could that be? I just got here.” She stood and walked toward the door. When she opened it, her eyes widened.“Arnold?” she exclaimed, half

Chapter 287

CHAPTER 287That night, Olivia’s apartment felt calm. On her study desk lay scattered papers, pencils, and a laptop still glowing with the sketch of her competition design. She hadn’t stopped drawing since the afternoon. Every detail had to be perfect — the lines, the colors, even the shadow concept she was building on the screen.“Just a little more,” she murmured, frowning in concentration. Her eyes were tired, but her spirit hadn’t faded. The international competition was no small thing. She wanted her work to be flawless.Suddenly, the sound of her doorbell echoed. Ding-dong!Olivia turned her head. She glanced at the clock — the short hand was almost at eleven. “Who could that be at this hour?” she muttered irritably.The bell rang again, this time longer. Olivia got up reluctantly, her feet dragging across the wooden floor. “If it’s not a lost neighbor, it must be Arnold forgetting something again.”But when she opened the door, she froze.Standing there was Ricky — wearing a bl

CHAPTER 288

JFK Airport was crowded that afternoon, but the atmosphere felt different for Elena. She stood while clutching her small bag, unable to stay still as she waited for the arrival gate to open. Nathan stood beside her with his usual calm demeanor, though he glanced at his wife from time to time, noticing how nervous she looked.“Relax, Honey. Olivia will come out any minute now,” Nathan said, gently patting Elena’s shoulder.Elena let out a long breath. “I know… but I still can’t help feeling anxious. Our daughter hasn’t come home in such a long time. And now she’s coming back as—”“A master in construction design/architecture,” Nathan cut in with a smile. “Sounds impressive, doesn’t it?”Elena smiled, her eyes glistening. “I’m so proud. She truly made her dream come true.”A few seconds later, the automatic doors in front of them slid open. Passengers began to pour out. Elena immediately straightened her posture, her eyes scanning every face eagerly.“Mom!” Olivia’s voice rang out clear

CHAPTER 289

The next morning, the atmosphere in the small office where Olivia and Arnold worked felt quite busy. Olivia opened her laptop while checking several initial design files she needed to bring to a client meeting. Arnold had just arrived carrying two cups of coffee.“This is for you,” he said, placing one cup on Olivia’s desk.“Thanks.” Olivia smiled and took a small sip right away. “Who’s the meeting with today? You haven’t had the chance to tell me.”Arnold pulled his chair closer. “They said it’s a new client. Not a big company, but the project is decent. They want a concept for their dream home.”Olivia nodded. “Okay. Hopefully the brief is clear, because I don’t want to do five rounds of revisions like last time.”Arnold chuckled. “Relax. They said the assistant will explain everything first. The boss rarely shows up.”Just as Olivia was about to ask more, the office secretary knocked on the door. “Young Master Arnold, Young Lady Olivia, the client has arrived. They’re waiting in th
