Olive gave him a fist, âAnnoying. You even play deep words with me.â
âIâm telling the truth.â Even a strong determined person had their weak moment, let alone an infatuated man. Money and fame couldnât shake him, and he could only be moved by affection. Although the process was quiet complicated and he was even treated rudely, but his trip wasnât futile.
âYou went to Paris on a business trip a few months ago, but it was actually for this, right?â
At that time, they had just gotten together. Her parents and friend didnât know yet and everything was still a secret, but he had already started to prepare everything.
He always did things that touched her. Every woman had their little romantic dream. And he always took these romances to the extreme, carrying full of love to her.
âLooking for Gaston wasnât a lie, and the business trip isnât a disguise too. There are several international wedding dress designers who are as famous as Gaston. Everyoneâs detailed information over the years had been sorted out by Dave in front of me. Gaston is the one who understands love the best among them, but unfortunatelyâ¦â
The regret in his words surprised her a little, âWhatâs the matter?â
Alan said, âUnfortunately, I donât know how to design. Otherwise, Iâll definitely design the most beautiful wedding dress in the world myself for you and make you be the happiest bride.â
Olive leaned her head on his shoulder and smiled softly, âEven if thereâs no wedding dress, even if thereâs no wedding, I think Iâm already the happiest woman in the world.â
Happiness wasnât in a form, but in the inner feelings.
Maybe to some people, this sounded like from someone who didnât feel hurt. But for her, there was no such things. She had no complaints and regrets. If there were, then it was an icing on the cake.
She knew that he wanted to give her the best.
âHoney, thank you.â
âSilly girl. Whatâs the need to say thank to your husband? If you want to thank me, itâs better for you to kiss me.â
Olive immediately landed a kiss to his face. What a beautiful and sweet heart he had, like eating honey.
At the hotelâs door, he kissed her back, âI really want to take you around the world, ignoring all the mundane things.â
âBut weâre still just ordinary people. So, Mr. Hoyle, bear with it. All the gods have to go through a certain training process and weâre still in it.â Olive smiled and waved at him.
When her figure disappeared from his sight, he took out his phone and dialed a number, âIs there any clues on Mr. Geveâs daughter?â
He didnât want his wife to work so hard. But he also knew that if no one in the Geve would inherit this property, the burden of the Angel Holiday Hotel would fall heavily on her shoulders.
Kent sighed on the phone, âIâve done a lot finding needle in a haystack, but itâs the first time to look for unknown and unnamed baby more than 20 years ago. Even if I found that cheating couple whom Norton Geve entrusted his daughter too, all the clues are ended on them. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Norton Geve who is blind as a bat. He couldnât give to other people, but had to give those money-grubbing brats. Now is great. His daughter was left by them in front of the hospital and left without a care. Donât even know who had taken her away. Weâre not even sure if sheâs still alive.â
âYour stinky mouth canât even say one good word.â He didnât want the result he got in the end was death.
Kent dismissively said, âSheâs not even your daughter. Why are you nervous?â
âA promise is a promise, and it must be kept,â Alan simply said.
Kent laughed so slyly, âYeah, right. Donât I know you? Youâre just afraid your precious woman will be exhausted. You want to find this person quickly to share her burden.â
Alan didnât deny, âDonât forget your Janetta is now working at the Angel Hotel. She would rather work under other people than be your personal assistant. She now has a great relationship with my woman.
If you want her to come home to you sooner, itâs better to find out the whereabouts of the Geveâs daughter for me as soon as possible. I can also make my woman say a few words in front of Janetta, otherwise, donât blame me for damaging your image.â
âYou evil man,â Kent gritted his teeth.
Naturally, it was a joke. The two were used to quarrel on their own. They both would laugh later. Who asked them to fall in the hands of women? So they always felt a bit of sympathy towards each other.
Alan returned to the subject, âIs there no other way?â
Kent said, âNot really. Luo City TV happens to have a program called In Search of Love, and the ratings are quite high. If Mr. Geve doesnât mind his familyâs skeleton to make known, he can do it. I reckon that if the girl is still alive, sheâs most likely to be adopted by Luo Cityâs people. Family-seeking shows are the most efficient and broad. If not, you can also take a keepsake to show family connection and post a notice in the newspaper. Of course, with the wealth of the old man, there may be bad people with bad intentions to falsely claim. But now thereâs a technology called paternity testing, any ghosts and devils could see through her true form.â
Alan pondered for a second, âItâs not a bad idea, but I still have to consult with Mr. Geve.â
âWhatâs there to ask? If the old man wants to enjoy a family happiness for a few days in his lifetime, he has to use this method. And this method isnât 100% effective. If that daughter of his resents him, hates him, and hides from him, not wanting to recognize him, we have no way out too.â
Alan thought that this wasnât impossible too. If the girl lived comfortably at her adoptive parentsâ house, thinking of their nurturing kindness was greater, perhaps she wouldnât have the thought to acknowledge her real family. It was like what his woman said once, that it was impossible for her to take the initiative to find her real family. She had to take into account the feelings of her parents who had raised her for more than 20 years. Since the parents who gave birth to her had abandoned her since birth, that meant that she had lost the right to call them mother and father at the same time.
Wait. His womanâ¦
Alan was stunned. Why did he never connect this matter with his woman?
Once this thought had formed in his head, it lingered, like a demon coiled around his heart and he was unable to ignore it.
God was playing a big joke with him. He didnât want his wife to be the daughter of the Geve Family.
Kent realized he didnât say a word for a long time. âHello? What are you thinking?â
Alan snapped out of it from that strange thought, âNothing. No matter what, as long as thereâs a chance, we can try it. Iâll contact with the person in charge first and see if heâs willing to search on a grand scale.â
âAlright. Call me when youâre fixed. Iâll arrange the next thing.â
As soon as Kent hung up the phone, he became full of thoughts. But on second thought, there wouldnât be so many coincidences in the world.
Although his woman was tough with her mouth, she was a soft woman in her heart. She didnât remember grudges easily, let alone to her biological parents. She and Mr. Geve had a good relationship despite a great age difference. She also knew about Mr. Geveâs body that time. If they were truly father and daughter, what was there not to be reason?
But after the thought arose, it wasnât easy to dispel the doubt. Really thinking back now, when it was just the beginning, she was even enthusiastically asking about the progress of the search. But after showing her the picture of the jade pendant, she seemed to become a little silent on this topic. It looked like he had to find a chance to ask his in-laws about the situation.
When Olive just arrived at her office, she hadnât even sat still and she had received a call from Flora Fred who was teaching in the mountains.
âOlive, youâre too much. Youâve found someone who is rich and handsome to get married with yet donât notify your sister. Are you afraid that my red pocket will be too small and embarrassed you?â she ranted and then added a heavy snort to express her anger. And she was very angry.
Flora Fred was a foreign in their group who was independent in mind and action. At that time, everyone thought she would study abroad with a scholarship, but she surprised everyone. She actually went to a poor country to play muddle with a group of children there. She stayed several years there.
Olive laughed, âChloe told you.â
âIf she didnât tell me, are you planning to marry secretly? Or are you looking down at your poor friend?â
Flora said viciously.
Of course, it was a fake. Could Olive still not know her temper?
âIsnât it almost summer vacation? Itâs not too late telling you when you return to the city.â
âReally?â
âHey, it turns out that Iâm such a not reliable person in your head. Iâm getting angry.â Now, it was Oliveâs turn to pretend to be upset.
âWho told you not to notify me at once?â Flora snorted childishly.
âI havenât notified anyone. Some things arenât finished yet and Iâm not sure if itâll be rescheduled.â So she was truly treated unjustly.
âDonât tell me that there may be any arguments between you two,â Flora couldnât help but worried.
Although she was deep in the mountains, it didnât mean that she was isolated from the world. Every weekend, she would regularly follow the folks walking to a town which was more than 20 miles away to check on the internet, seeing what happened in the world beyond the mountains and forests.
The matter of Olive and Alan was buzzing on the internet. She didnât expect this lass had hidden it that deep. She was shocked when she just opened it.
Nowadays, there were various versions circulating on the internet, true and false, but they were all romance without exception. Fortunately, she had the most reliable source of information. From Chloeâs phone calls and emails, she basically had understood the entire five years love story.
She had wondered how this lass could easily get so many donations to her in the first place which turned out to be the work of the secret guy.
âI hope everything goes well,â Olive sighed a little.
âDonât listen to me. Iâm still waiting to be your bridesmaid with Chloe. You canât leave me behind.â
âThen come back quick when itâs holiday. Basically, I can only see you during the winter and summer vacations in a year. Come back earlier this time for us three sisters to have a get-together.â
âI wonât leave after I come back this time. Iâll annoy you every day since then that Iâm afraid that man of yours will kick me out with his glare.â
Olive was taken aback for a moment before shouting, âSeriously? Are you really going to stay after you come back?â
