Chapter 510 Suddenly, a pair of small chubby hands stretched out and gently wiped away the tears on Oliviaâs cheeks.
Then, Lyla patted Olivia on the back the same way that Olivia patted her to coax her to sleep.â Mommy, donât cry.â
Oliviaâs heart trembled, and she was very moved.
However, in order not to worry Lyla, she wiped away her tears and smiled. âMommy is fine. Iâm not crying. Something got into my eyes.â
âMommy, are you going to sleep with Lyla tonight?â
âOf course Iâm sleeping with you.â
After finishing the bath, Olivia ran into her room and waited for more than ten minutes before forcing back all her tears.
Lyla was her salvation. What did she ever do to deserve such a sensible and cute child?
She was already very happy.
She would give up her revenge plan. She felt very satisfied to be able to watch Lyla row up for the rest of her life.
âLiv, itâs time to eat.â
Not long after, Fred knocked on the door and asked her to eat. She paused her train of thought and recomposed herself before opening the door to walk out.
âWhat delicious food did you make?â
âBeef stroganoff, pan-fried salmon, cilantro beef, roast chicken, and seaweed soup.â
As he spoke, Fred smiled. âAre you happy with it?â
Olivia curled her lips and patted him on the back. âI am. Of course I am. Thereâs so much food. Iâm so lucky.â
At this time, Xavier came over from one side and interjected. âFred, youâre so mean. Thereâs also a king crab. Why did you ignore it?â
Fred said angrily, âKing crabs are not a rare commodity. Canât you get king crabs in Solaria City?â
âThis one is different. Itâs fresh. I got it myself.â
âSo what? Only the dishes I make are unique. Pheebs misses my cooking skills, not your king crab.â
âFred, youâre provoking me!â
âYes, and so what?â
The two started bickering.
Olivia shook her head speechlessly. She suddenly felt that it would be good for Xavier to come over more often so he could at least get Fred talking more.
Jennie took the opportunity to lean over and asked in a low voice, âPheebs, donât be angry. If I knew you didnât like him so much, I would have stopped him.â
âItâs not that serious.â
âYou donât hate him?â
âI donât hate him.â As she said that, Olivia smiled. âItâs just that I donât want to get too close to him.
I think itâs good to maintain a client-like relationship with him.â
Jennie glanced at Xavier. âBut I can tell that heâs interested in you.â
âSo thatâs why I didnât want him to come, understand?â
âOh, Pheebs. No matter how hurt you are, you shouldnât close yourself off like this. We have to...â
âLook forward, right?â
Olivia interrupted her and handed her a bowl. âLetâs eat. I canât stop you from talking even with so many dishes in front of you.â
Jennie could not help. She knew that Olivia was hurt, but she did not know the specifics of it. Therefore, she wanted to try to comfort Olivia, but she did not know how to.
âStop arguing, both of you. Letâs eat. The food is getting cold. After eating, go back to your own places. Iâm very tired, and I want to go to bed.â
âOkay.â
They made a unanimous decision.
During the meal, Olivia kept taking food for Lyla while the rest of them took turns taking food for her. She could not finish her plate of food no matter how much she ate.
During this time, John made several more phone calls to her, but she declined all of them.
Now that they had bid farewell, it would be better to not keep up contact no matter what the reason was.
She felt reassured as she looked at the smile on Fred and Lylaâs faces.
It had been a while since she felt so at ease.
She liked her current life very much, and she did not want to go back to the past or back to a life with John.
