Chapter 506 Oliviaâs breathing instinctively sped up, and she carefully placed the phone in Zacâs hand.
âZac, you misunderstood. I-I donât hate being alone with you, and I trust you.â
âWhy?â
Over the past four years, even though the two of them had not been in the same city, their relationship had not suffered much.
Occasionally, Zac would visit to keep her company, play with Lyla, and give her warmth and help.
Now, there seemed to be a wall between the two of them. It was as if they were strangers.
Olivia took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to look at him. âZac, I owe you so much. Iâm afraid I wonât be able to pay you back.â
There was a sudden silence in the car.
After a long time, Zac stretched out his hand and gently touched her forehead. He smiled lightly and shook his head. âSilly girl, what are you thinking about?â
Olivia was taken aback and looked at him with some confusion.
âOlivia, how long have we known each other? When have I ever asked you to pay me back?â
Zac looked at her a little helplessly. âWhen I gave you money, you said you wanted to pay me back. I didnât bother arguing with you, so it was fine if you said you wanted to pay me back.
âI saved your life, so you said you would work for me, but why would I want you to do that?
âI run a law firm. You are neither a law graduate nor a lawyer, nor are you interested in law. Should I ask you to clean the toilets?â
As he spoke, he sighed. âYou always overthink. Is it because someone around you is slandering you again?â
She was taken aback by what he said, so she stared at him blankly with wide eyes.
He opened the window, and the dull air in the car was let out, making Olivia feel more clear-
headed âWho told you that people of the opposite sex cannot be friends? Who told you we had to exchange favors if we want to be friends?â
Zac smiled softly at her. âOlivia, fate dictates if we can be friends. Youâre always so coy. I worry that you might offer your body to me as payback next time.â
Upon hearing this, Olivia blushed in embarrassment.
She almost came clean to him...
If Fredâs call did not break the tension just now, she would definitely have said it.
âHow embarrassing would it have been if I said it...â
It was all that jerk Kenâs fault. If he had not talked nonsense, she would not have overthought things.
âI-I just feel like I owe you a lot, and Iâm afraid that I will be criticized and people will say that Iâm taking advantage of you.â
âOh, who said that? Tell me, and Iâll kill them.â
âDonât.â Olivia quickly waved her hand and explained. âNo one said that. Iâm just afraid.â
Zac let out a low laugh. He stroked her hair and helped her fix her clothes. âOkay. If you have time. to overthink, you might as well think about where you want to go next so I can find a place for your in advance lest you and Lyla move there and have to rent a house temporarily.â
âActually...â Olivia pursed her lips. âI have to think again. After all, Lyla is so young, so Iâm afraid she wonât adapt well.â
âWell, yes. You think about it.â
After that, he asked again, âDid John bully you?â
Olivia shook her head. âHe didnât bully me. On the contrary, he saved me many times.â
âOh? Really?â
âYeah, otherwise I wouldnât be speaking to him.â
Zac pretended to smile calmly. âYou always have a say in your relationship with him. I just want you to be safe, healthy, and happy. Do you know that?â
Olivia nodded in a daze. âOkay. I know what to do.â
Zac was relieved after seeing her calm down.
How could he not know what she was going to say? However, he did not want to hear her answer.
