Chapter 412 Since that night at the pub, Ken would appear out of nowhere to send things like clothes, bags, and supplements over, and today, he had even brought his chef over from his home.
After the meal was prepared, he sent the chef away and went to the room to look for Zyla.
âTime to eat, Zy!â
Zyla rolled her eyes at him. âKen Lucas, make the meal yourself if youâre so great. Does it even count for anything if you didnât make it yourself?â
Lo and behold, the next day, Ken actually brought groceries with him and claimed he wanted to cook.
However, though he might have skillful hands in the operating theatre, this young master of the house was not as skillful in the kitchen.
In the end, Zyla could not bear to watch him any longer and chased him out of the kitchen.
âGive me one more chance, please, Zy! Iâll learn how to cook properly for sure!â
Zyla retorted exasperatedly. âIâm worried that youâll poison my Sis Liv, so save it.â
Ken was dejected. He lowered his head sadly as he walked towards Olivia and said sadly, âLiv, Iâm at my witâs end. I realize that she only listens to you and no one else in this world.â
Olivia could not agree more with that.
Zyla did not listen to anyone else in the world, but she would obey Olivia blindly, no matter if she was in the right or not.
If not, the one-month test would not even be happening.
Olivia shook her head helplessly. âKen, donât you think youâre rushing it?â
âIâm rushing it? Iâm really in a rush here, though.â
âKen, love and affection are the most obvious in the minute details. When youâre there whenever she needs you and you appear whenever she misses you, thatâs the true meaning of compatibility.â
Olivia paused and looked out the window. Then, she added faintly, âAlso, stop bringing the baby up all the time. Zy still thinks that youâre only acting like this because of the baby.â
He panicked. âNo! Iâm acting like this because of her! If it was not for her the other night, Iâd soak myself in an ice bath instead of...â
âI know that, but Zy doesnât.â
He was stunned. After a long while, he turned to look at the woman that was in the kitchen and nodded his head. âI understand now.â
Right after, he jogged giddily back into the kitchen.
Watching the two flirt with each other made Oliviaâs smile freeze on her face. As the emotions in her eyes grew into longing and envy, she remembered the days long gone of her and John.
They were once that happy as well.
However, that happiness was short-lived, and their pain lasted forever.
Now, she was adamant that she did not love him anymore, but every time she saw John and reminisced about the past, her heart would still ache.
However, that ache felt like the ache she usually experienced in her lungs, the type that she had already long gotten used to.
The next few days were similar. She felt happy too as she watched Ken and Zyla grow closer.
The day before the party, Olivia received a phone call from prison.
They said that Rainie wanted to meet her.
She was skeptical about it, but the prison guards did not elaborate.
âLetâs just go take a look, Sis Liv. What if something really happened?â
âThe party is happening tomorrow. I donât think she will bring me any glad tidings.â
Zyla added as she massaged Oliviaâs feet. âItâs precisely because of the timing that I want to check this out. I have a feeling sheâs trying to tell us something, like the identity of the star of Jamesonsâ party.â
âWhat does that have to do with us, though?â
Zyla stood up, looked out the window, and laughed âWell, since your legs are hurt and I donât wanna hear Ken nag, Iâll go on your behalf.â
Olivia frowned a little. She tugged on Zylaâs sleeves and said, âForget it. If youâre going, weâre going together.â
âHey, Sis Liv, youâre in the most important time frame of recovery right now. Iâll be back before you know it! This wonât be the last time you see me!â
âPffft...â Olivia whacked Zylaâs arm angrily. âDonât you start spewing nonsense! Come back quickly! Iâll wait for you to eat lunch with me.â
âOkay! Iâll buy you a little cake on my way back too!â
âSure.â
â Olivia turned as she watched Zyla put her coat on before she left. For reasons unbeknownst to her, she felt a sense of unease.
