Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife Chapter 536

Chapter 536 Xavier dared not protest after hearing this. After all, he knew Olivia was injured and needed rest.

“Yes, Pheebs should rest.”

Fred glared at him. “So you know what’s good for you.”

Olivia pushed him. “Fred, don’t talk like that. If he hadn’t taken the stab for me, I’d still be in the ICU.

However, Fred did not like Xavier. He still wanted to drag Olivia away, even after learning what had happened.

“Fred, wait. There’s something I want to talk to you about.

“I’ll go back to my room to get changed. Come and see me later.”

With that said, Olivia left, leaving Fred in the room.

Fred looked indignantly at Xavier. “What is it?”

“Your sister seems claustrophobic.”

Fred examined him sharply. “Why do you say that?”

“We were in the dark for a while after we were taken. Pheebs was shaking. I’m pretty sure she’s not just afraid of the dark.”

Xavier then paused and asked in concern, “What happened?”

“You’re overthinking. My sister is just afraid of the dark and is timid.”

“Really?”

“Of course, I’m her brother. Can I be wrong?”

Fred did not bother to engage with him. He opened the door and walked out before waiting for Xavier to ask any further questions.

Fred frowned and stared at the room door for some time after getting out.

No one else should know about Olivia’s mental problems.

Especially Xavier-a flirty guy with an agenda for her.

On the way back, Fred asked tentatively, “Liv, what do you think of Xavier?”

Olivia was confused. “What do you mean?”

“Everything.”

“Flirty, rakish... But reliable in times of crisis. Something like that.”

Olivia looked sideways at him. “Why on earth do you dislike him so much?”

Fred narrowed his eyes. “I don’t know. I just have a feeling that he’s up to something.”

“Fred, aren’t you too tense?” Olivia opened the window and looked out. “He’s not getting anything from me.”

Fred could not answer the question.

He had no idea what was wrong with Xavier or what he was after. However, he disliked him at first glance.

“Anyway, just stay away from him.”

“Okay, I know what to do.”

She might have agreed with Fred earlier, but Xavier had gotten stabbed for her.

How could she presume negatively about someone who saved her life?

Besides, the man had been nothing but flirtatious so far.

She was more worried about John than Xavier.

She did not know what John’s next move would be, and she tensed up at the thought.

She was tired from playing with Lyla for a while after picking her up at Jennie’s place, so she went to her room to sleep.

She suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and looked ahead in horror.

In the dream, John clenched her neck and told her to die...

She touched her neck in fear. The feeling was too vivid to forget.

Olivia gasped a few times, turned on her phone, and suddenly saw text messages from Mr. M.

She tapped on them.

Mr. M: [Ms. James, I heard from Ms. Sutherland that you’re not feeling well. Are you okay?]

Mr. M: [It would be a shame if you got sick because I urged you to sketch.]

Mr. M: [I’ve asked Ms. Sutherland for your address. Someone will send over some supplements tomorrow. Ms. James, please accept them as my token of apology.]

Olivia looked at her phone and blinked. Mr. M was thoughtful.
