Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 261

Chapter 261 Olivia paused, cocked her head, and looked at the man. “Why are you here?”

Zac chuckled lightly. “I’ve been here since yesterday, it’s just that you were asleep. I made sure you were okay, then I left.”

After he finished saying that, the next thing he said was in a graver tone. “You, on the other hand, didn’t tell me anything about such a huge thing happening. You really do see me as a stranger, huh?”

That final sentence put Olivia’s heart on alert. She pursed her lips and replied, “I don’t want you to worry. Besides, it’s not all that bad.”

“Not all that bad? Olivia Larson, please try to at least come up with a better script the next time you lie.”

She had nothing to say, so she looked down and stared at the road beneath her feet.

“I give up. Please, just tell me everything next time, okay?” Zac paused for a while before he continued. “Also, what was that?”

“Mrs. Jameson knelt before me in an attempt to get me to forgive Rainie Jameson.”

Zac frowned and barked coldly, “The Jamesons are so rude!”

Oddly, Olivia was suddenly reminded of what Mrs. Jameson had said. Olivia murmured, “Mrs. Jameson said she lost a daughter many years ago. What’s up with that?”

“That’s old news. Like, news from more than twenty years ago. Yes, the Jamesons lost a daughter.”

“What happened after that?”

Zac helped Olivia get onto the bed. Then, he took the medicine and water, passed it to her, and said, “I heard that they found her later on, and it was Rainie Jameson.”

Olivia paused. Something did not feel quite right.

“What are you thinking about, Liv? Come, take your medication.”

Olivia snapped out of her thoughts, took the medicine, and swallowed it. Then, she drank a glass of water to wash away the bitterness of the medication, but she still frowned involuntarily.

She was most afraid of pain and bitterness, but all she had with her right now were those two things. How ironic.

Suddenly, Zac handed her a candy. “If you think it’s bitter, eat a piece of candy.” Olivia was moved. She took the candy with a smile and sucked on it. “Yummy!”

Zac smiled as he caressed her head. “Let me handle the Jamesons. It’s ultimately my fault anyway.”

“Forget it.”

“You’re gonna just forgive Rainie?”

Olivia shook her head. “Not exactly. I’m just afraid that if you were to take part, things would get worse. What if Rainie thinks that this incident is why you’re breaking off the engagement? Wouldn’t her resentment get worse?”

Zac nodded. “I know what I have to do. I’ll leave Wilbur behind to protect you. I won’t let anything happen to you ever again!”

than to Olivia. He simply It sounded like something Zac was saying more to him could not forgive himself for not protecting her, causing her to be injured yet again.

After Zac left, Zyla came running in.

When she saw the bruises on Olivia’s neck, her face darkened significantly. “How dare that Rainie Jameson! This is too much!”

Initially, Olivia had a scarf around her neck, so the bruises on her neck would not be so obvious. That was why Zyla did not know how bad they were.

“I’ll make her pay now!”

Zyla was about to march out in a huff when Olivia said, “Don’t go yet, Zy.”

“Why not?! Sis Liv, please don’t tell me you want to forgive her!”

Olivia raised an eyebrow and giggled. “Why do all of you think that I’m gonna forgive her? Am I such a gracious person in your eyes?”

Zyla pouted in frustration. “You’re just too nice! Aren’t you more gracious than you should be with Jerk John?”

Upon hearing John’s name, Olivia’s smile froze on her face.

Zyla was right about Olivia being very gracious toward John, so gracious it was unlike her.

What was she supposed to do? He had been her heartthrob for the past seventeen years, after all.

“I think something’s off with the Jamesons, Zy. I feel like the Jamesons have another daughter.”
